Running on Karma 大隻佬


This is one of the movies I really love. It is an old 2003 movie. Cecilia Cheung gave a stellar performance in this film and so did Andy Lau. However it was the director and the writer who took this movie to another level.

I watched this movie in the Mandarin censored version but did not understand it. I bought the VCD in Cantonese and watched it again recently. I highly recommend this movie to all my friends. Watch it if you can.



This was the song when the two were strolling along the streets in Hong Kong-it is almost like an MTV. After knowing how the story ends, I turn all weepy every time I watch this scene again.

身外情
by 黃耀明

带走伤感 带不走哭得转红了的灯
记忆随身 延续欠你的戏份
带走开心 却带不走拖手时的体温
微暖质感 留在脸上还未泯

给一分钟我静静回味
将一生一世翻天覆地
明日已被今天处死
泪存在原为反映天理
这一分钟我站在何地
怎么竟跟你活在一起
原是镜中花留在镜中死
原谅我不记得忘记

带走身影 带不走装饰你瞳孔的星
放手无声 沉默也等于约定
带走身颈 却带不走分手时的风景
云过天青 忘掉我们曾尽兴

给一分钟我静静回味
将一生一世翻天覆地
明日已被今天处死
泪存在原为反映天理
这一分钟我站在何地
怎么竟跟你活在一起
原是镜中花留在镜中死
原谅我不记得忘记

当这一双脚慢慢离地
拈不走一瞬羡慕妒嫉
谁又记得起 谁被我欢喜
延续到下一世的你
谁又带得走一块纪念碑
心中挂着什么行

Edited to add: This review said everything I want to say about this movie. Sorry for those who cannot read Chinese.

Sorry to be so off-topic, but I was searching Google for "Comics in Dubai" when your blog popped up as a result. I realize the post in question was about manga, but would you happen to know of any American comic stores in Dubai? I've never found any and any help would be appreciated and rewarded monetarily. Well, maybe just really, really, really appreciated.

No worries. You can find some American Comics in the Kinokuniya book store in the Dubai Mall. Not sure which kind of comics you are looking for but Kinokuniya would not disappoint you. Good luck with your search!
