Fulingkids.org (the website for and by parents of kids from Fuling 1st Social Welfare Institute) has an interesting collection of film reviews.

Or rather, a film review with one (1) link to a prior review, and then a list of many (lots) of links to other "recommended" Chinese films written up on various other sites (like Time magazine, or rottentomatoes.com).

I've seen a few of the ones on the list, and yeah, they're good. And some of the ones I haven't seen yet are already resting comfortably in my Netflix queue, waiting for me to finish with Takashi Miike's musical The Happiness of the Katakuris (which is, for those unfamiliar with Miike, a bit like saying, oh, I'm watching Wes Craven's new version of Oklahoma, only Miike's much more depraved than Craven could hope to be). No, my family is not always pleased with my choices when left to my own devices.

This is why lists of recommendations can be useful.

The most recent review is for one of the movies I've never seen, The Sound of Colors.

This part makes it sound fun:

Some may find the stories too manufactured and the switching of stories too harsh. But these are actors that are fun to watch and stories that are sweet. The cinematography and music are also a plus.

Is this an emotionally complex, thinking movie? Nope, but sometimes, movie fans just need something light and breezy, just like a warm, summer night.

But, oddly enough, the part that I like best isn't the review at all -- it's the cast list:

Tony Leung (In the Mood for Love, Hero, 2046), Miriam Yeung (numerous), Chang Chen (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, 2046), Dong Jie (Happy Times, 2046)

Oh, that's the dude from Hero who was in In the Mood for Love! Riiiight! I love cross-referencing.

So, interesting resource for those interested in seeing some Asian faces in interesting faces on the magic glowing box.
