"CJ7" (2008) - The lives of a poor father and his son in China improve when the father discovers a mysterious creature at a junkyard.
“CJ7″ arrives on DVD August 12.
For entertainment value alone, I haven’t seen a better movie this year than “CJ7,” the new film from director/actor/co-writer Stephen Chow (“Shaolin Soccer,” “Kung Fu Hustle”). The movie isn’t some kind of revelation, though: one subplot could have been handled better, and from a technical level, the movie isn’t phenomenonal. But like the character of the father who finds shoes in the dumpster and improves them, Chow takes bits and pieces from different genres and styles to make what is, on the whole, a wonderful piece of work.
