This is one of the classic comedy in the 90s of HK block buster. It has help Tony Leong won his first Best Actor award in HK Film Awards while Petrina won Best Supporting Actress. In the meantime Wong Wan Shi & Teresa Mo were also nominated in the best supporting actress category as well. Overall the movie is funny, but just some part which is a bit extra...

L² Comment: 

Even though its a bit similar like "The confession of a shopaholics", but i think the HK version took it to a better extend and i love it. The best part would be seeing Paula Tsui shopping session. "This, this, this... i don't want, the rest please pack it for me"... lol! how cool is that~

Storyline of course its good, a bit confusing will be the part when Paula Tsui directed them by phone to the wedding destination. I have to watched twice to discover, all these while Paula was directing Sean to Cecilia & Jordan to Ella. A very good movie which shopaholic like us shouldn't miss...

 Loy is a 41-year-old bachelor who lives with his widowed mother and aunt in Wan Chai. Loy's mother, disappointed by his bachelorhood, often sets up match-making lunches for him with various girls. On the other side of Hennessy, orphaned Oi Lin lives with and works for her uncle and aunt in a bathroom appliances store on Lockhart Road. She is in a relationship with Xu, who is in prison. Her uncle, who disapproves of Xu, sets up a match-making lunch for her and Loy. Neither Loy or Oi Lin are attracted to one another, but the families continue to set up meetings for the two. After a few meetings and dates, the two eventually strike up a friendship after discovering a mutual interest in detective stories.

Both Loy and Oi Lin's families misunderstand the newfound friendship as romance and begin discussing wedding banquet arrangements. Loy explains to his mother this is not the case, and that Oi Lin has a boyfriend. Annoyed, Loy's mother calls Oi Lin's aunt and yells at her, calling her and her husband cheats. Oi Lin becomes upset with Loy, and breaks off their friendship. During this time she shares a flat with her boyfriend Xu, who has just been released from prison, and Loy gets back together with his ex-girlfriend Man Yu.

As time passes, Loy and Oi Lin grow increasingly uneasy about their relationships with Man Yu and Xu respectively. Loy tells Man Yu that he is finally in love with someone, but does not know if he is good enough for her. In the meantime, Oi Lin breaks up with Xu. Furious, Xu tracks down Loy and beats him up. Loy, though severely injured and no match for Xu, claims he is the better man because he can make Oi Lin smile. Xu finally understands, and leaves Oi Lin to get on with her life.

Loy's mother finally marries her accountant at the Cotton Tree Drive Marriage Registry to everyone's delight. After the wedding, Loy goes to the Cha Chaan Teng (where he'd previously had a date with Oi Lin) and finds Oi Lin. He joins her there, and the two enjoy the afternoon together.

 Hmm. how should i express my feeling after this movie? Its definitely not a romance movie; not a comedy... i can only categtorize it as a drama type. Love all of them, feel like all the actors & actresses have their own acting style, but all these styles just mix together and created a sparks~ A nice movie to watch...

林雪 Lam Suet as Ng Tung ('Fatman')

張兆輝 Eddie Cheung as 陳柱林 Chief Inspector Chan
Story:

Eye in the Sky takes place around the darker side of Hong Kong society, where the story begins with a group of organised burglars successfully robbing a jewelry store. The plot begins with the wet-behind-the-ears new recruit Piggy, who is plunged at the deep end in her first surveillance assignment working alongside her mentor, Sergeant Wong. Both of them work for the Hong Kong Police Force's Criminal Intelligence Bureau. After reviewing the jewelry store surveillance videos, the Force attempt to track down one of the robbers by staking out the neighborhood they think he lives in.

Fatman is identified and tracked without his knowledge through a combination of tails, surveillance footage, and data-mining, including accessing his octopus card. The Force ambush is established at the scene of the next robbery, but the elusive Hollow Man notices the police. As the robbers flee, some are killed by a Police Tactical Unit, but the rest escape. Chan kills an uniformed police officer as he flees, and Piggy stops to give first aid rather than continue the pursuit.

The surveillance unit is then called to another case; a kidnapping. Piggy is staking out a phone booth where the kidnapper may make a call, when she sees Hollow Man go by. She recognises the kidnapper from Fatman's apartment building and allows the police to rescue the kidnap victim, while she pursues Hollow Man. After a tense confrontation in a cafe, where Hollow Man confronts her, she escapes suspicion, but Hollow Man notices Sergent Wong and stabs him in the neck with a pair of scissors. Wong convinces Piggy to continue to follow Hollow Man as he slowly bleeds to death.

Piggy follows Wong to his hideout and calls for the Police Tactical Unit again. Meanwhile, Wong survives his injury and gets medical attention. In the raid on the hideout, Hollow Man flees down a dock and wounds himself mortally in the neck running past a hanging hook, and the other robbers were captured.

Nominated for the Golden horse and the Golden awards, Nai-Hai You has won the Best new director; Kate won the best new actress & Tony Leung won the Best actor.

For me, the whole movie is ok. But certain parts are kinda messy and confusing for me. Especially the ending, i don't really prefer those habis-tak-habis feel kind of movie.

This is quite good, horror + a bit of erotic feeling, kinda eerriee in the whole film. Teng Tzu Hsuan is so hot, her boobs are nice and seems yummy.

Overall the storyline and the make up thingy is quite good. The only fake part is when Maggie Shiu vomit out all the centipedes, that part is a bit weird lo~ graphic not nice enough~ lol.
