Calling all Asian cinephiles: 2010 Asian Film Awards only weeks away!

Not only have we had splendid art house movies such as Like You Know It All and Love Exposure, but we’ve also had the weird and wonderful in Yatterman and of course the first attempt by Korea at taking on the vampire movie genre with the excellent Thirst.
Its also been a return to form for Hong Kong movies, such as Accident, City of Life and Death and Overheard. Its not just the usual movie producing nations which have been producing classics either, we’ve also seen incredbile movies from Taiwan, Thailand and the Philippines.
We have finally come down to the top 8 movies this year from an original list of over 30 movies from various Asian countries.

The nominations for this years Golden Horse Academy Awards have finally been announced.
The awards show is very much Taiwans version of the Oscars, and is regarded by many as one of the most prestigious Asian movie awards around.
China have won the last two ‘Best Film’ awards (2008 – The WarLords, 2007 – Lust, Caution).
This year China has two entries in the Best Film category – “Cow” and “Crazy Racer”, but its Taiwans very own ‘No puedo vivir sin ti’ which is favourite for this award after the films successes at the recent Taipei Film Festival and Japans D-Cinema Festival.
