Detective Dee & the Mystery of the Phantom Flame 2010 Tsui Hark

Gotta catch up - these next few will be quick.  In this movie, Andy Lau is Detective Dee and he likes to solve crimes.  This movie is sort of like if Scooby Doo had to investigate the haunted amusement park in ancient China.  Plus, there's kung fu.  And badass albino government officials.  Oh, spontaneous combustion is in there too.  It's all gotta be solved before the coronation of the first ever woman emperor of China, otherwise Detective Dee's gotta go back to jail.  Can Andy Lau use his kung fu brainpower to solve the case on time?

This movie is awesome.  If you liked the Chinese Ghost Story movies that Tsui Hark produced back in the 80's, you'll love this.  If you know what the Chinese Ghost Story movies even are, then you get bonus points.  Even if you've never heard of those films, do yourself a favor and watch this movie right away.
