Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The climax to this Chinese fantasy is a mishmash of special effects so confusing one wonders if the cast knew what was going on, let alone the audience.
It concerns the possession of magical superpowers – mostly telekinetic stuff – and the perils of their misuse. When a university professor (Bak-Ming Wong) collides with a student (Karena Ng) he accidentally yields his powers to her. The student suddenly finds herself the volleyball team's MVP, and can even magically finesse a no-hoper's victory in a decathlon. It's pretty harmless, though the "magic" on display may remind you of old episodes of Bewitched – it's that corny. And the British distributors might have helped out with the inept subtitling.
