Painted Skin：the Resurrection Painted Skin: The Resurrection, (Chinese: 画皮II; pinyin: Huà Pí Èr) is a 2012 Chinese action and fantasy film. The film was directed by Wuershan and starred Chen Kun, Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, Yang Mi, Feng Shaofeng, Fei Xiang and Chen Tingjia in the lead roles. The film reunites most of the original cast but is officially not a sequel to the 2008 film Painted Skin. Director：Wuershan After Painted Skin: The Resurrection premiered in China, critics praised two leading actresses, especially Zhao Wei's breakthrough performance.[3] Audience named Zhao "the most beautiful scarred woman ever seen". Derek Elley from Film Business Asia wrote:"The result is a very entertaining, slightly over-long costume fantasy whose performances and sheer technique carry a script that often punches above its weight."..." Zhou, who since Suzhou River (1999) has almost had the Mainland patent on sexually ambiguous, seductive roles, dominates the movie, as a demon who wants to be human even if it means pain. But she gets a run for her money from Zhao, who's developing much more screen gravitas in her mid-30s and is better directed here than in her previous female-warrior role in Jingle Ma's Mulan (2009). Zhao's scenes with Zhou are much more emotionally resonant…

Chinese:夜半一點鐘Tsui Kam-Kong and Jordan Chan  Year:1995  Director:Wilson Yip Wai-Shun  Producer:Andy Chin Wing-Keung  Writer:Philip Kwok Wai-Chung, So Man-Sing  Cast:Veronica Yip Yuk-Hing, Anita Yuen Wing-Yee, Elvis Tsui Kam-Kong, Jordan Chan Siu-Chun, Anthony Wong Yiu-Ming, Jessica Suen Huen, Farini Chang, Ivy Leung Si-Man, Hung Suet-Ying, Candy Hau Woon-Ling  The Skinny:Positively mild horror comedy from director Wilson Yip that lacks the payoff to make it more than a minor distraction. Maybe okay for Wilson Yip completists or fans of the stars, but really, this is not a film worth seeking out.     Reviewby Kozo:Minor horror-comedy from director Wilson Yip, who went to to direct actual good movies. 01:00 AM is a typical Hong Kong horror comedy, which means there are three stories related by a single thread. In this case, they all take place at 1:00 am, and involve ghosts of some sort. Periodically, people get scared and a variety of mild hijinks occur. Sometimes, there really isn't much to get scared about, and it's merely the characters reacting to imagined stimuli. In some ways, the events of this film are not dissimilar to those at a junior high school slumber party. In story one, nurse Veronica Yip must safeguard a comatose popstar (Anthony Wong Yiu-Ming), but she starts seeing him and some strange girl wandering around at 1:00 a.m. every evening.…
