Chungking Express - 7/10
Generally, I like Wong Kar Wai's films. I really liked In the Mood for Love a lot. It's one of the best films I have seen in recent memory. Happy Family was alright as well, but Chungking Express was disorganized. It seemed like an undergraduate research paper written the night before it was due. Two different, mostly unrelated stories. I did like the second story. If it was the whole movie, that would have been fine with me. The worst part of the viewing experience was Tarantino's introduction on the DVD. I like his films, but what an ass!!
