Martin Luther King Day

Today, Jan. 18, 2016 is Martin Luther King Day. Sadly, his dream of making black and white Americans equal like brothers has not been fully realized. Police brutality towards African Americans continues.

Also, ironically, some black actors and directors complain that the many Oscar nominees this year are all white. I have seen the movie Creed, which I like. Sylvester Stallone playing Rocky Balboa as a boxing trainer has received an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor, while the lead actor Michael Jordan has received none. Maybe there was no prejudice on this one about acting, but the movie itself was very well directed. It begs the question why the director Ryan Coogler has not been nominated for best director. Is it also because of racial prejudice? Such questions can never receive a definitive answer that satisfies everyone.

Death of Run Run Shaw

Run Run Shaw, the movie and T.V. mogul of Hong Kong has passed. He had a long (107 years) and good life.Without him (Shaw Brothers and H.K.T.V.B.), there would be no big stars and directors like Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-Fat, Andy Lau (Tak Wah), John Woo, Wong Ka Wai, Quentin Tarantino etc. etc. The one he missed out big was Bruce Lee, who signed up with Raymond Chow instead. He was knighted by the Queen. RIP Sir Run Run Shaw, you had a good Run in Life !
