"I am thrilled to be opening The People I’ve Slept With in New York at the Clearview Chelsea Cinemas. It\'s an indie filmmaker\'s dream come true,” says director Quentin Lee. “With the film closing the New York International Asian American Film Festival, I believe many New Yorkers will enjoy and support the adventures of the film’s heroine.”
The People I’ve Slept With is a sexy, romantic story about Angela (Karin Anna Cheung of Better Luck Tomorrow), a young woman with a zealously active sex life, who after every sexual conquest, makes keepsake “baseball cards” of each of her male conquests. One day, Angela finds out she is pregnant and begins a quest to find the identity of the father. Together with her gay, best friend and co-worker Gabriel (Wilson Cruz of He’s Just Not That Into You, My So-Called Life), the two go on a comical and raunchy hunt through her past hook-ups and dates to find her “baby daddy.” But as Angela peels back the layers of her frisky past, she begins to realize that the answers she is looking for; reveal themselves in surprising ways.
Featuring a sparkling and daring performance by Karin Anna Cheung (Better Luck Tommorow),
The People I’ve Slept With co-stars Archie Kao (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation), Lynn Chen (Lakeview Terrace, Saving Face) and screen legend James Shigeta (Flower Drum Song, The Crimson Kimono). The film has found strong support with sold out festival screenings including Hawaii International Film Festival, San Francisco Int’l Asian American Film Festival, Outfest Fusion, along with being selected as the official Closing Night Presentation of the upcoming 2010 New York Asian American Film Festival on July 21. The film is set to open theatrically in Los Angeles at Laemmles Sunset 5, August 27 and San Francisco at the VIZ CINEMAS, September 3.

Exclusive Theatrical Engagement begins August 13, 2010
Based on the hugely successful Nickelodeon animated TV series, the live-action feature film is set in a world where human civilization is divided into four nations: Water, Earth, Air and Fire. The Fire Nation is waging a ruthless, oppressive war against the other three nations. The film’s hero, the reluctant young Aang (Noah Ringer), is the “Last Airbender” — the Avatar who, according to prophecy, has the ability to manipulate all of the elements and bring all the nations together. Aided by a protective teenage Waterbender named Katara (Nicola Peltz) and her bull-headed brother Sokka, Aang proceeds on a perilous journey to restore balance to their war-torn world. Dev Patel plays the Fire Nation’s evil prince Zuko. Exiled from the Fire Nation by his father, Zuko is sent to capture the Avatar in order to restore his honor and right to the throne.

Set in the midst of war and political upheaval during the Taiping Rebellion of the 1860s, General Pang barely survives a brutal massacre of his fellow soldiers by playing dead, and joins a band of bandits led by Er Hu and Wu Yang. After fighting back attackers from an helpless village, the three men take an oath to become "blood brothers," pledging loyalty to one another until death, but things quickly turn sour and the three men become embroiled in a web of political deceit, and a love triangle between Pang, Er Hu and a beautiful courtesan.
The power hungry Prime Minister-turned-General Cao Cao seeks permission from the Han dynasty Emperor to organize a southward-bound mission designed to crush two troublesome warlords that stand in his way, Liu Bei and Sun Quan. As the expedition gets under way, Cao Cao\'s troops rain destruction on Liu Bei\'s army, forcing the latter to retreat. Liu Bei\'s military strategist Zhuge Liang knows that their only hope for survival is to form an alliance with rival warlord Sun Quan, and reaches out to Sun Quan\'s trusted advisor, war hero Zhou Yu. Vastly outnumbered by Cao Cao\'s fast approaching, brutal army, the rebel warlords band together to mount a heroic campaign unrivalled in history that changes the face of China forever.
Raizo is one of the deadliest assassins in the world. Taken from the streets as a child, he was transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose very existence is considered a myth. But haunted by the merciless execution of his friend by the Clan, Raizo breaks free from them...and vanishes. Now he waits, preparing to exact his revenge. In Berlin, Europol agent Mika Coretti has stumbled upon a money trail linking several political murders to an underground network of untraceable assassins from the Far East. Defying the orders of her superior, Ryan Maslow, Mika digs into top secret agency files to learn the truth behind the murders. Her investigation makes her a target, and the Ozunu Clan sends a team of killers, led by the lethal Takeshi, to silence her forever. Raizo saves Mika from her attackers, but he knows that the Clan will not rest until they are both eliminated. Now, entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse through the streets of Europe, Raizo and Mika must trust one another if they hope to survive and finally bring down the elusive Ozunu Clan.
RESTAURANTS REVIEW
Zander\'s House (Vietnamese Cuisine) - Plano, TX
2300 N. Central Expressway (75 Hwy.)
Plano, TX
(972) 943-9199
Great exterior and modern interior look, serving Vietnamese Cuisines in North Dallas. Good food in a classy and arty environment. The restaurant\'s lunch menu is full of typical Vietnamese dishes - spring rolls, soups, vermicelli(rice noodle) dishes. They are very well prepared, beautifully presented, and very reasonably priced. The atmosphere is much better since they took over this August Moon location, put up dividers, art, flat-screen TVs and a full bar. The restaurant is very clean, white tablecloths and brisk, with helpful and friendly service.

Tokyo One (Japanese Cuisine) Addison, TX
4350 Belt Line Rd. Addison, TX (972) 386-8899
Patrons can sit at booths or tables; classic Asian paintings adorn the walls. Sushi chefs are quick to offer tips and suggest items. The atmosphere easily accommodates big groups hungry for a lot of sushi. California rolls and standard salmon rolls are for beginners, while those who feel more adventurous can try the shark fin and jellyfish rolls or marinated baby octopus. Overall a pretty good blend of being an upper-end atmosphere without being snobby. Customers seemed pretty dressed up for this place.

Benihana (Japanese Cuisine) Dallas, TX
314 E. Main St. Dallas, TX (972) 387-4404
Diners sit around large tables where chefs ostentatiously chop, slice, stir-fry and grill. Entree options are simple--shrimp, chicken, steak and scallops, and preparation is uniform. Every entree comes with a similar stock of sides: rice, onion soup, shrimp appetizer, iceberg lettuce drizzled with dressing, sauteed vegetables and green tea. Pricing is just as affordable as Red Lobster these days. But Better!! Get entertain, eat and enjoy.

First Chinese BBQ (Chinese/Vietnamese Cuisine) Richardson, TX
>This is one of the very first Chinese/Vietnamese restaurants in Garland, attracting diverse clienteles. The name, then, is appropriate “First”, But what keep the customers coming back time after time are the magnificent Chinese and Vietnamese dishes. The decor remains simple and functional, since the food serves as the main event here. Try eating their famous roast duck with egg noodle soup or on white rice, then order from the menu to get a chance to sample a wide variety of dishes. However be careful, they only accept CASH so dont bring your credit cards or check book, its not accepted there. Cash Only!

Bistro B Restaurant (Vietnamese/Chinese Cuisine) Dallas/Garland, TX
9780 Walnut St. Dallas, TX (214) 575-9885
Bistro B is actually a Vietnamese/Chinese restaurant, not French as the name might implied. With two locations, the menu is amazing. There are over 300 menu items including soups, rice dishes, noodle bowls, spring rolls, and so much more. They also do groups, family style and have a wide variety of delicious tea based drinks. All of the food is incredibly fresh, especially the rice, paper spring rolls are amazing. It is very fast paced with lots of servers running all over the place. Severs don\'t have sections so you probably won\'t see the same one twice.
