Slippery slope and slithery slime

[flemmings]

All that poking about at youtube is making me want to watch that Shunsui TV drama- err, The River Flows Eastward. I gather this is a twelve hankie tragedy in which a) rocks fall, everybody dies and b) Hu Jun does Someone wrong and ends badly (youtube is good about telling you how people end badly so there's no suspense.) So who does Uncle Ming play? and who's the woman in the cap?

The China Centre woman said region 1 DVDs won't play on a region-free DVD player. Does anyone know if that's true?

To add:

Black hole is 黑洞. Uncle Ming plays the son of a high level official who uses his position to become the king pin of the criminal underground. He's really quite brilliant in it, though not in many scenes. It is is to Infernal Affairs what Woxinchangdang is to Hero.

Chinese Style Divorce is 中国式离婚. Exactly like what it says.

There are a bunch of other stuff, but these are probably of most interest.
