🎥 Film culture around the world~ As predicted, the month of the Lunar New Year is a sad time for foreign movies in China. We only get 3, possibly 4. In the culture bureau’s effort to support Chinese culture, we get a LOT of fun local films instead. Even a new Peppa Pig cartoon. Nothing compared […]
🎥 Film culture from around the world~ New year, new movie list! And not too bad of a selection if we do say so ourselves… at least better than last month. A lot of you were askin’ about the new Transformers and the Creed sequel and we thankfully get both of them (on the same […]
🎄Holiday culture from around the world~ Welllll… after decorations for our house, getting our gifts sent via SF, putting Santa hats on our profile pics, and getting creative with doors, what are we gonna watch during our stint abroad!? Being away from our families during the holidays is hard enough, maybe taking a nostalgia trip through classic films […]
~Film culture from around the world~ It’s finally December, and we all know what that means! No, thankfully we don’t have to wait for another Star Wars movie to come to China this year. It means time to rewatch all our Christmas movies! And we even get one in the cinemas here… my, how the […]
~Film culture from around the world~ Not gonna lie, this might be the best month for movies in China in the history of movies in China. Even with the exact same number of films as last month, we have MUCH more variety and there is absolutely something for everyone. We’ve got action, we’ve got fantasy, […]
~Film culture from around the world~ With the “spooky” month finally upon us again, China has given many fun films to distract us from pumpkin carving and costume prepping. In fact, five more than last month. We get another action blockbuster, another Bollywood teacher flick, a sad Japanese love story, a handful of hit-or-miss cartoons, a […]
~Film culture from around the world~ With August’s massive movie list over and thus summer being officially over, too, we get another lousy month for international films. We trust you all had wonderful summer travels to other countries, though, where you could watch all the cool movies you wanted. But now, welcome back to China, […]
~Film culture from around the world~ With last month‘s abysmal list, we get a record-breaking 15 big ones in March to follow the annual holiday migration… Back to work and back to the movies. Amen and amen. We have multiple Oscar nominations, multiple Hollywood blockbusters, an old Bollywood flick (that’s not Aamir Khan), and multiple cartoons for the kiddos. […]
~Introducing film culture from around the world~ New year, new us, right? No… never say that. But a new month does mean another list of sweet sweet movies coming to Mainland China. How about those 12+ that came in December? Fairly lackluster, to be honest. Oh, and don’t forget to start writing 2018 on all of your checks. You’re welcome! […]
~Introducing pop culture from around the world~ It’s Double Holiday week! Happy 5,068th birthday to China… and happy mooncake [not] eating. Everyone be sure to look up at the big full moon tonight and dream about your beloved. Now on to the list of movies for the month. Did anybody see all 13 from September? We […]
