Meet The Feebles (1989) *****

The Killer (1989) *****

Fast-paced, stylish, entertaining and inventive action film from Hong Kong's top director, John Woo. Chow Yun-Fat plays a professional hitman who accidentally blinds a cabaret singer (Sally Yip) and is pursued by a tough cop (Danny Lee). There is also a director's cut (longer by 35 minutes). Most of that footage deals with another hitman, played by Chu Kong.

When Harry Met Sally (1989) *****

A screamingly funny and very perceptive comedy about two close friends (Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan), afraid to ruin their friendship by becoming lovers. Their slow realization that they are meant for each other is the core of this witty and intelligent film. A rare gem, directed by Bob Reiner.
