Canton Kid.Com
http://www.cantonkid.com/

As a HK resident, Paul Fox is able to offer the very latest coverage of films, sometimes while they are still making the rounds in SAR theatres. He also covers DVDs.

A Chinese Cinema Page
http://www.chinesecinemas.org/

One of the best writers covering the cinema produced by the three Chinas, Shelly Kraicer offers up his thoughtful and always intriguing analysis of several dozen films here, as well as looks at the goo wak jai trend, a handy list of all the films produced by the United Filmmakers Organization and Milkyway Image, and much more. Required browsing.

Cine-Raider
http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/ridleyford/1007/index.html

While I have been interested in HK films for a long time, I credit Richard Akiyama's SKAM as being the source that made me realize just how much respect the industry and its personnel were due. The coverage of HK cinema in SKAM (and its later incarnation, CINE-RAIDER) was, in my opinion, the best to be found in the fanzine world, circa late 80s/early 90s, and I still regard Richard as one of my sifus. The printed version of CINE-RAIDER was discontinued a few years back but some unpublished reviews and other material can be found on this website.

DVD Basen
http://www.dvd-basen.dk/uk/home.php3

If you are looking for a listing of DVD reviews available on the web, head on over to the incredible DVD Basen, which offers direct links to more than 70,000 reviews(!) of 30,000+ DVD releases(!) from all six regions. If you sign up for the weekly mailing (which usually comes on Friday or Saturday), you will get a handy list of the reviews added during the past seven days. It's an excellent resource and one I use several times a week.

Heroic Cinema
http://www.heroic-cinema.com/

Mark Morrison's site provides an Aussie perspective on HK cinema, with a thorough rundown on local screenings and events, plus sections devoted to reviews, articles, RPGs, and more.

Hong Kong Cinema: View From the Brooklyn Bridge
http://brns.com/index.html

Brian Naas is one of the most enthusiastic people I know when it comes to singing the praises of HK cinema and his website ranks among the very best out there. Packed with reviews (literally hundreds and hundreds of them), a multitude of star pics, and a wonderful actor's index, this is a terrific work in progress worth visiting several times a week. So, drop Brian a line and tell him what a great job he's doing...and make sure you kid about how much he likes Diana Pang Dan.

Hong Kong Entertainment News In Review
http://www.hkentreview.com/

If it were not for Sanney Leung, we gweilo HK film fans would never get the entertainment info we need. Will Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Carina Lau ever really get married? Is Cecilia Cheung the villain who broke up Nicholas Tse and Faye Wang? What movie did Wong Jing shoot this week and when will it be out next week? Which nubile starlets are schilling for the latest miracle breast enhancement cream? Seriously, Sanney's writing is both informative and consistently witty and his site is an irreplaceable resource for both the fluff and the important events occurring in the HK entertainment industry.

The Illuminated Lantern
http://www.illuminatedlantern.com/

In contrast to many English language websites dedicated to HK cinema, The Illuminated Lantern does not just offer face value appraisals and revel in the amount of kinetic action, outlandish sex, or scatological comedy on display. Site master Peter Nepstad recognizes that these movies are the product of what is arguably the richest culture in history, one that is still largely a mystery to many Westerners. If you are capable of enjoying A CHINESE GHOST STORY, MR. VAMPIRE, or PEKING OPERA BLUES, then you are just as able to appreciate the superstitions, literature, or historical events that inspired them. The more you know about the various dynasties, Taoism, Peking Opera, and other local traditions, the better you can understand and derive maximum value from the entertainment. The site does a very good job of providing this background in diverting, pain-free fashion and is of definite interest to the adventurous HK film afficionado.

Kung Fu Cinema
http://www.kungfucinema.com/index.html

The absolute best site for kung fu DVD reviews, with webmaster Mark Pollard delivering both quantity and quality. Good news section, too.

Love HK Film.com
http://www.lovehkfilm.com/index.htm

In a relatively short time, the ever hard-working Ross Chen has turned his site into one of the finest around: witty, well-written reviews of just about all the new releases, plus exhaustive and valuable filmographies.
