January 30, 2016 By Northwest Asian Weekly

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The reigning Miss Universe has her eyes set on her next big dream: being a Bond girl.

‘Kanako’ pits esteemed actor against a lot of pointless gore

January 22, 2016 By Andrew Hamlin

By Andrew Hamlin Northwest Asian Weekly “The World of Kanako” begins with a Christmas celebration or, to be more precise, several Christmas celebrations. Snow falls slowly.

Not ‘Fast,’ not ‘Furious’

June 7, 2013 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Andrew Hamlin Northwest Asian Weekly Director Justin Lin, born in Taiwan but raised in California, caught the attention of the public and the Asian community with “Shopping For Fangs” and “Better Luck Tomorrow,” two edgy and sometimes gritty portrayals of a countercultural, and sometimes outright-criminal, existence.  He’s currently plugged into the “Fast & Furious” […]
