Happy 2025! Did you have a good new year? Montreal countdown celebration had a disappointing firework show due to some technical difficulties. Supposedly half the show was delayed for an hour. Also the crowd was pushed so closed together it was quite dangerous. If you have any upcoming celebratio...

Thank you:
This wraps up another year of Accented Cinema. As stated in previous update, we have done quite a few multi-part videos this year, all of which I'm proud of. As always, your support is the reason I ca...
I've been looking forward to making this video all year. Yes, that's how good things have been in Chinese language film circles. Honestly, I can easily make a part 2, recommending even more films. But to keep things brief, here are 4 movies most deserving of your time, in my opinion. They are wel...

Let's finish up our two part series through the history of Journey to the West adaptations, mainly focusing on 2 TV series and 2 movie series. I'm sure from the thumbnail, you can tell I don't have high praise for most of the adaptations. So, prepare for some light swearing. Despite that, we do e...

I have to say, Louis Too playing an old man is really unconvincing.
Actually, the whole movie only has one convincing old man and it's Sammo Hung.
With that out of the way, here is the script for our last video of the year, in which we recommend to you the best Chinese language film n...

Currently feeling rather sick. Researching horror story ideas while feeling under the weather is a strange delirious experience that I would not recommend. Good thing I don't get scared easily.

Welcome to our biggest video yet, as we travel to Hong Kong to visit some iconic locations from 5 different Wong Kar-wai movies.

Currently experiencing the stacked debuff of jet-lags and daylight savings. It's... not fun.
Also, oh my god, the texts on my computer is so big. I'm so used to writing updates on my laptops during my travel, I've completely forgotten how it feels to be working on a desktop.
Sorry for the late update, I just moved across multiple cities and are about to head back to Canada, so this is the only bit of time I have to write this update.
Anyway, within the one month time span I stayed in Asia, McDonald's in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and I think also Japan, went fr...

Currently in Japan. Just came back from Kabuki-cho. The outter wall above Don Quixote is advertising the Amazon Prime Like a Dragon series.
Apparently the show sucks. If I have a dollar for every time I talk about a Japanese IP with a bad adaptation.

Instead of making a video about Journey to the West, let's talk about why I haven't talk about it: There just aren't that many well-made and faithful adaptations of the novel, thanks to how unfilmmable the book was until the the invention of visual effects, and how most filmmakers seem to think t...

Welcome to an unscheduled extra video that's a little different from our usual stuff.

Hope you are having a good October! Hollywood doesn't seem to be having a good month, though. Joker 2 is bombing hard, and the only other major release is Smile 2.
Hopefully there's an surprise indie hit around the corner, or this is going to be a really weak Halloween.
Sometimes how long a video takes to make reflects how much I enjoy the topic, and this is definitely one such case. Easily doubling our usual editing time, this video on Junji Ito was a blast to make. Animating individual panels for a cinematic experience lets me flex my old and unused muscle a l...
