I really do love all Chinese movies; even the ones by Chinese Americans.

(M) The Motel. (Michael Kang, 2005) Grade: C+

Thoughts: A nice coming to age movie if I was twelve but sadly I’m not. Ernest (Jeffrey Chyau) is a thirteen-year-old kid who helps his mom run a sleazy motel with his younger sister and grandpa. Sung Kang plays Sam a messed up married guy who Ernest turns to for guidance only to realize he needs to figure out for himself who he wants to be.

(M) Red Doors. (Georgia Lee, 2005) Grade: B-

Thoughts: The Wongs try to deal with life, love, and family. The father is retired and going crazy, the mom is happy, the oldest daughter is uptight and getting married, the middle daughter is a doctor and in closet lesbian and the youngest daughter is getting into trouble at school. Overall, an alright film that tries to be something more.

Movie count: 12
