In lieu of a formal ratings system, I've fashioned an award for

recommended Hong Kong films- the Yammy. Overall, this indicates

entertainment value, though other factors such as artistic merit and

critical / commercial success are given some consideration as well.

I subscribe to the "for what it is" school of criteria; so Yammies are

given for being "good for what it is", not necessarily for being

classic cinema as a whole.

At the least, a Yammy merely suggests that the film is worth seeing.

Which is not to say that movies without Yammies aren't any good.

This is merely a guideline, and surely even this broad assessment

will differ with some other opinions.

So be sure to look out for the lil' Simon icon for a vague indication

of a film's quality.
