Saturday Night Hong Kong Films in Toronto (Omini TV ) Late Winter 2006

Update : Spring 2006

After an absence on my part since the Fall of 2005, exasperated by Omini TV’s changing of url (while keeping the old page up!), I’m back.

Omini’s 2 listing are ok for a quick advance glance over at Super Cinema. All Movies run on Saturday’s at 9:00 PM and go for 2 hours till 11:00 PM. Most films are Cantonese with English subtitles, although not all of the Korean, Mandarin language film include English as well as Chinese subtitles. They have marking some of them with footnote “Korean Movie With Chinese Subtitles And Lip Sync in Cantonese”.

If you’re looking for more Hong Kong films check past postings and Love HK Flim, or Koreanfilm.org
