R: Well-written Movie Reviews of Chinese and Japanese Cinema

[makoto]

Dear Dean,

?

I didn?ft know the valuable Firecracker site. Many thanks. It is a very
interesting site, including movies of country usually not too much
considered. 

My own isn?ft a complete site but only a net database (always under
construction...) and only about Japanese movies. If you like, this is the
address:

Dear Bruce,

?

I?already promoted a site called Firecracker to the list for its marvellous
new initiative?of broadcasting Asian films over the net,?but it has to be
said that the reviews are generally of a high standard, especially
ones?written by the editors Nick North and Erika Franklin and, dare i say
it, some of mine aren't so bad (though a bit long).?The site?aims at
exposing wider audiences to Asian film and so is quite hip, which may appeal
to your students. It also has a very good international perspective, with
commenters based in places like Bangkok and Manila regularly giving fresh
insights. They also seem to be the only place that is really promoting
Malaysian and Filipino?independent filmmaking, which is very interesting.
The only problem is the site has recently been redesigned and so the reviews
are not catalogued in the most intuitive way just yet.The address
is?HYPERLINK "http://www.firecracker-media.com"www.firecracker-media.com

?

Franco, this might be one for your database too. Is it possible for me to
see your site, i'm always looking for good reviews myself and it would be
interesting to see what you've come up with.

?

Cheers

Dean
