You're Here Anyway poster
6.0

"Whatever happens," "The children are still young," "He's already gone," "Someone you used to love," "It's the new year," are catchphrases used so casually in day-to-day interactions that represent how the Chinese people have become accustomed to unconditionally compromise and give way in the face of problems. There are always endless problems in life - there's danger when you stray into the tiger’s den, parents who neglect their duties and find the children troublesome, people who smoke in the elevators without a care for others, those who fail in love, fail in business and go bankrupt, couples who experience a marriage crisis and families that fall apart... When life hits difficulties, is the "come what may" attitude a solution or is it the catalyst to a bigger predicament? An all-star lineup interprets the most realistic story and explores the philosophy of facing life with a smile. (Source: ChineseDrama.info)

Crazy Dinner Party poster

I’m not entirely sure what this one’s about, folks, but that hasn’t stopped me from watching the embedded trailer a couple of times tonight. It’s a little jarring and a touch annoying, but that, I think, is what makes this film so alluring. Although a proper synopsis detailing a few plot points would be nice to have, all you really need to know about the flick resides in its title. There is, in fact, a dinner party taking place, and crazy things are happening at a mad rapid pace. Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. But don’t waste your time over-thinking it. Director Shang Jing’s “Crazy Dinner Party”, which stars Fan Wei, Huang Bo, Monica Mok, Liu Hua, and Liang Guanhua, opens in China on January 23rd, 2012. When will the rest of us get to partake in said festivity? That remains to be seen
