Will Smith Freshens Up Hong Kong

Friday. 30 November. 2007. 10:34 am

Coming to town to jiggy up his new movie.

The actor, rapper and Man in Black himself, Will Smith is coming to Hong Kong next Friday, December 7 at the piazza in Times Square from 7-8pm for the premiere of his new movie I Am Legend – the story about the last man on earth after a horrifying threat kills everyone, and then he finds he’s not as alone as he thought. Yes, it’s an action movie.

Warner Bros. Hong Kong is bringing The Fresh Prince into town just as they did with Keanu Reeves a few years ago to promote Constantine (and just to let you know this stuff does work, Constantine opened at #1 and stayed there for 2 weeks even with lukewarm reviews, but we liked it anyways.)

So make sure to leave the office early if you want to see Will Smith because as we all know Times Square is already a madhouse at 6pm on a Friday, you throw in one of The Men in Black and there will be mass chaos.

The I Am Legend trailer below:

And as an added bonus, the trailer to the original movie its based on The Omega Man (which in turn was based on the original book I Am Legend) but the Charlton Heston movie was always good fun in a 1970′s sci-fi kind of way:

We’ve assembled more Will Smith videos that you won’t want to miss.

New Blackberry Duo Hits 1010

Friday. 30 November. 2007. 9:23 am

Better Chinese support in 2 new models.

1010 launches 2 new CrackBlackberry models – the Curve 8310 and the Pearl 8120 at special prices with monthly plans, which you can look at here.

Benefits for the new models? Basically you get the Q9 Chinese stroke input, real time HK/China stock quotes and Forex via JAVA and (hopefully this comes with all Blackberry’s) easy 1-touch syncing, and of course the very clear and powerful yet more expensive service that 1010 offers.

Must say the Curve does look pretty cool, but no 3G and no WiFi? But it does have GPS and a trackball…but I guess we will have to wait for the rumored 8320 to get the missing pieces.

Check out the more information from 1010 here.

Last weekend Carolina Herrera launched their new fragrance Sexy 212 at LCX with local celebs Bosco Wong, Mandy Choand Irene Wang .

212 sexy is for the self-possessed women in whom serenity and sensuality combine with natural grace and ease, she draws people to her effortlessly, with elegant simplicity. 212 sexy is for any woman who feels vibrant, alive, happy in herself.

And 212 SEXY MEN is masculine and tactile. Opening and closing the bottle transmits a sensation of solidity, strength and quality that complements the sensual characteristics of the aubergine and deep purple tones.

And here is the TV commercial, which yes, is weird that we’re posting, but you don’t get to see these on TV in Hong Kong and they look so nice:

Here are two photos of Mandy Cho and Irene Wang at the LCX launch:
