The story of a woman demon who falls in love with a mortal will ring bells for Westerners as a charming variant on the Little Mermaid tale, though here the scaly mermaid is a huge, beautiful snake. With non-stop action to attract the lads, the tale is laced with enough overblown romanticism for ten chick flicks, yet chaste enough for children. Audiences with a taste for Chinese action spectaculars should enjoy this classy crossover from master Hong Kong director and action choreographer Tony Ching Siu-tung.\u201d<\/p>\n The 2011 NYCFF lineup features 17 films and will run at AMC Village VII Theatre at 66 Third Avenue between 11th & 12th Streets on Wednesday, November 9th through Sunday, November 13th.<\/p>\n China\u2019s A-list Celebrity Directors and Actors will entertain New York audiences in Q&A sessions on November 9th, 10th and 11th after film screenings at AMC Village VII Theatre.
