How the epic Big Timer films dominated Hong Kong’s early 1990s box office

Crime may not pay, but it has historically dominated the Hong Kong box office. Local films exploring the treacherous underworld of triad gangs, criminals and police officers have captivated audiences since the 1970s, when foundational works such as Ng See-yuen’s Anti-Corruption (1975) and Leong Po-chih’s Jumping Ash (1976) ignited the genre.

How Powerhouse Parramatta, Sydney’s new museum, rewrites the rules

“Washington has the Smithsonian, London has the British Museum, but Parramatta has the Powerhouse.” So declared New South Wales Premier Chris Minns at the museum’s opening on November 7, in a comment crafted more for applause than proportion. Parramatta is the heart of Sydney’s fast-growing west, about 25km (15.5 miles) from the city centre, and until now has had no major state cultural institution. The A$915 million (US$626 million) Powerhouse Parramatta is the Australian state’s biggest...
