Far North

Michelle Yeoh is starring in this film, but NO it isn't an action movie. In fact, it is an unusally dark, but beautifully made movie. At first, it might seem long, but enjoy the stunning sceneries/pictures till the end and you'll get a big surprise...*gaaasp* a breathtaking twist.


Even if the ending suggests that she's psycho, I still take Michelle's side and totally understand her act. Support no matter what.

Must I warn you that the other Michelle has a very annoying laugh?!?

Fearless

Do not rely on IMDB at a 100%.

Fearless is appearing on Michelle Yeoh's filmography list, but after watching the entire movie, which was nearly two hours, and I didn't even see her shadow (not a single screen frame).

Apparently, the director (stupid Ronny Yu...a total shame to all the Yu's) wanted to shorten the movie and chose to cut out her scenes (which wasn't a lot to start with) and some of Jet li's fight scenes were omitted as well.

TSSSSK!!! Who would do that? Who would in a million years expect MICHELLE YEOH, one of the biggest name actress in Asia...an International well-known actress to get cut out? 

As an act of rebellion, I am posting the only 2 scenes she was having...which the director cruelly and heartlessly removed.
 


Note: Jet Li literally flew to Hong Kong, himself, in order to present his apologies to Michelle. Thanks to her high level of understanding and a great heart, everything ended in good terms. They even had the chance to collaborate once again in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008. Phew!!!

Babylon A.D.

Sister Rebekah is Michelle Yeoh's character's name in the movie.


You can be 400% sure that I didn't appreciate it when she died because of one's stupidity and disobedience. What I mean is that she spent her life raising, caring and protecting that girl and in return she just wanted Vin Diesel to be alive...whom she met for only a day or so. This is ridiculously unfair and not logic.


Note: I apologize for not being able to find the scene where she dies.

Don't Look Back


It is a fairly good psychological story with a rather interesting twist at the end.

If I have to criticize this movie...the only thing I don't get is *spoiler* - why does Sophie Marceau show a face of disgrace when she started to transform into Monica Bellucci? I mean, why the agony? If it was the other way around, it'll make more sense. Oh! That's it, maybe it's Bellucci who was disgusted to see half a face which wasn't hers!?! XD (the best explanation I could find)

Anyway, just to tell you that I would be utterly delighted...even if it is to only get half of Monica's face.
