Best Midnight Movies

Chinese Movie Night at Riverside 8

Fresh off the boat from Hong Kong, the movies presented at the Riverside 8's Chinese movie night (every other Saturday at half past midnight - watch the listings) comprise the most entertaining cinema being made in the world today. Doubt it? Then you didn't see Once Upon a Time in China, Days of Being Wild, Twin Dragons, Once A Thief, God of Gamblers, The Raid, King of Chess or a slew of others. The chopsocky days of kung fu formula pix are long gone, but HK movies still race at such a crazy pace it's hard not to wonder how many people get killed making them.
