Back to the Past Trailer

YT: Gabriel Thum

I haven’t been this excited for a while. Like many people growing up watching TVB, “A Step into the Past” is one of my favorites, maybe even one of my last TVB favorites.

Looking at the trailer alone, I already liked the idea that the production decided not to de-age and artificially make the actors younger, but fast forward the story line to match the actors’ ages. People who are fans of the series would know enough to take a guess at the source of the conflict, and would be excited and want to know how this would end.

The only disappointment I have is that they didn’t bring back Jimmy Au who played Butler Tao (it was on the news though he is listed on Wikipedia, interesting), but I am excited that Hsuan Jessica Hester, Sonija Kwok, Joyce Teng, and Michelle Saram are reprising their roles.

Can’t wait.

You had me at Louis Koo

Okay, fine, I’ll post something from Hong Kong.

Honestly, to get most of the references in this series of commercials, you’d have to follow Louis Koo’s career pretty closely. He’s pretty good at spoofing himself and is pretty cool (pun intended) about making fun of himself. Check out the video.

Mr. & Mrs. Incredible

This is probably one of the most underrated movies I’ve seen. I also cannot believe on this blog’s fifth year anniversary, I never talked about Sandra Ng or Louis Koo.

To be honest, like most people, I associate the writer Vincent Kok as not usually a serious contender. Remember, he’s this guy in God of Cookery:

Liberty Times Net

I re-watched Mr. & Mrs. Incredible. Louis Koo and Sandra Ng are very convincing as a couple, with all the day-to-day couple problems that are believable. Of course, I’m sure The Silver Spleen already said it on his YouTube channel.

To be honest, I really wish Louis Koo’s range in SPL 3 is more like when he played Mr. Incredible, but oh well…
