6.19.2012 - News [Roast Pork Sliced From A Rusty Cleaver] (飲水思源)

FBA: Painted Skin: The Resurrection review
Slick fantasy vehicle for three Mainland stars is in a different league to the 2008 film.
THR: Painted Skin: The Resurrection review
Bottom line: Spectacular if blemished Chinese fantasy aiming for high lyricism should pull in female viewers and fans of the 2008 original.

Slim but likeable second feature by the director of Pinoy Sunday.
Light, cross-cultural rom-com has few of the usual cliches and awkwardnesses. 
Double Trouble seems less about honestly dissimilar and abrasive characters, and more about contrived friction.
