Hana Mae Lee Has Perfect Pitch H&M + Margiela Target + Neiman NOVEMBER 2012 FREE Hana Mae Lee Has Perfect Pitch H&M + Margiela Target + Neiman Marcus MGM Grand Gambles on Vietnam Happiness From Bai Ling yellowmags.com from t h E E d i t or i N c h i ef Each year, I have the pleasure of making a trip to Beverly Hills to attend the annual Operation Smile gala in support of a charity in which I have strong conviction. Whereas, I usually visit for three or four days, this time was for only two. As is often the case, the less time one has, the more there is to do. I am not complaining, mind you, because it resulted in two wonderful interviews that are included in this issue. We first interviewed Bai Ling several years ago when she was filming Love Ranch with Helen Mirren and Joe Pesci. This year, we were fortunate to have her join us at the Operation Smile gala where she attracted considerable interest on the red carpet as she struck her signature “Bai Ling” poses. The following day, we met for an interview during which Bai offered us some insight into what drives her and counters some of her public persona. If you happen to look at her acting resume on imdb, you cannot help but be impressed by the sheer volume of this actor’s work. Millions of fans have enjoyed the film Pitch Perfect which was released last month. I had not had the opportunity to see it when I received a call from Hana Mae Lee’s publicist asking if I would like to interview her. As it turned out, the timing could not have been more perfect and I went from visiting with Bai to meeting up with Hana a half hour later. She is beautiful, funny, creative and fearless. During the interview, Hana said I would not be able to miss her in the movie because her face took the whole screen. Have you seen the movie? Sure enough, there are several times when her face took the entire screen…every square inch. Hana has worn many hats as a model, Photo by Collin Kelly stand up comedienne, clothing designer, singer and actor. Her range appears limitless. There are interesting alliances occurring in the fashion and retail world. Target has matched up with Neiman Marcus in a collaboration that features a collection from 24 of America’s premier designers, and H&M is pushing the edge by launching its “Re-Edition of Maison Martin Margiela Garments from Various Seasons” collection. We agree that you can never have too many luxury shopping options at affordable prices, especially with the holidays just around the corner. V. hoang The color yellow has played a recurrent symbolic role throughout the history of Asian culture. It symbolizes the earth that sustains all life, yet has been embraced by Buddhist monks as an expression of unchallenged power. Such is the role of yellow: always revered but in different ways under different circumstances. The mission of Yellow Magazine is to introduce our readers to the artistic , fashion, lifestyle and entertainment contributions made by Asian Americans. It is our hope that the depth and breadth of the topics and events we cover do justice to the pride that the color yellow has represented throughout the millennia. As the editor in chief of Yellow Magazine, my last name is Hoang, which also means yellow. Just as I am proud of my name, I am proud of my heritage, and proud of Yellow Magazine. Editor in chief V.

  • LAMORINDA WEEKLY | 'Pitch Perfect 2'
    LAMORINDA WEEKLY | 'Pitch Perfect 2' Published May 20th, 2015 'Pitch Perfect 2' By Derek Zemrak The pitch is in tune in "Pitch Perfect 2"! The Bella's are back in the sequel to the 2012 surprise hit, "Pitch Perfect," which was made on a $17 million production budget and grossed $65 million at the U. S. box office. Moviegoers knew a sequel would be in the works with those results. This time, everyone's favorite a capella group - the Barden University Bellas - must regain their glory after a humiliating wardrobe malfunction by Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson) that was witnessed by the president of the United States while they performed at the prestigious Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. With nowhere else to turn, the Bellas enter an international competition that no American a cappella group has ever won. The solid ensemble cast from the original Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson) steals the show in movie returns in "Pitch Perfect 2," which includes "Pitch Perfect 2," the follow-up to 2012's Oscar nominee Anna Kendrick (Beca), comedian surprise hit. Photo Richard Cartwright Rebel Wilson (Fat Amy), Brittany Snow (Chloe), Ester Dean (Cynthia), Hana Mae Lee (Lily) and Alexis Knapp (Stacie). Beca is a senior at Barden and working as an intern at a record label company when Chloe discovers that Beca is more interested in her career. The Bellas once again must pull it all together and find the "perfect pitch." Two-time Emmy Award nominee Elizabeth Banks ("30 Rock") takes the directing reins and keeps the movie going at a quick, witty pace.

    RADAR was ’cause I’m so loud and I talk a lot. It was almost meditative,” she says. “I’m like, ask me a question and we’re here for five days.” She’s changed into a far-less-sheer sweater, black leggings, and a pair of patent croc-embossed Alexander Wang mega-platform lace-up boots. “No way,” I say, when she tells me who designed them. “No, Wang!” she replies, cracking up. A designer herself, Lee has never shied away from outrageous fashion (Google “cigarette butt hat” for proof from the 2013 MTV Movie Awards). For her label Hanamahn, which means “just one” in Korean, she creates one-off lambskin jackets, hand-knit wool vests, and rings that are like miniature works of art. The L.A. native went to Otis College of Art and Design and designed for both Juicy Couture and Mossimo (even creating a plus-size line for Target under Mossimo), before leaving the industry to focus on entertainment, much to her parents’ chagrin. “I always wanted to do acting, but coming from a Korean background they’re very, ‘No, get a real job! We got on board with you doing fashion and now you want to do what?’” says Lee. But that didn’t stop her. She was acting in commercials for the likes of Jeep, Verizon Wireless, and EA Games when she landed Pitch Perfect, her first feature film role. And that was just the beginning. This year alone, Lee has four movies slated for release, helping to assuage her parents’ fears: Unleashed, a comedy with Kate Micucci; the McG-directed horror flick The Babysitter (she plays a villain); the road-trip–centered Frat Pack; and Coco, the highly anticipated rap drama starring Azealia Banks, directed by Wu-Tang’s RZA, who’s “really super chill,” she says.

Most of these films have been released under more than one title, and while we've done our best to use the one that's most likely to be familiar, that doesn't guarantee you aren't trying to find Crippled Avengers and don't know we've got it as The Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms. And so, we've gathered as many alternative titles as we can find, including their original language title(s), and arranged them in alphabetical order in this index to help you out. Remember, English language articles ("a", "an", "the") are ignored in the sort, but foreign articles are NOT ignored. Hey, my Japanese is a little rusty, and some languages just don't have articles.

    What's wrong with a little good clean fun? While a cappella versions of the biggest pop hits of the '80s, '90s and today are not exactly my jam, a crowd-pleasing comedy with a few unexpected subversive moments can be. It would take a misanthrope of the highest order to dislike 'Pitch Perfect,' preposterous and predictable though it may be. College student Beca (Anna Kendrick) knows she does not want to be part of a clique, but that's exactly where she finds herself after arriving at her new school. Thrust in among mean gals, nice gals and just plain weird gals, Beca finds that the only thing they have in common is how well they sing together. She takes the women of the group out of their comfort zone of traditional arrangements and into a world of amazing harmonic combinations in a fight to the top of college music competitions. You’re going to love it whether you like it or not! Sing along with them and GET A PITCH SLAPPED! “Pitch Perfect” is a 2012 American musical comedy film directed by Jason Moore .Featuring an ensemble cast, including Anna Kendrick, Skylar Astin,Rebel Wilson, Anna Camp, Brittany Snow, Ester Dean, Alexis Knapp, Hana Mae Lee, Adam DeVine, with John Michael Higgins, and Elizabeth Banks, the plot follows a college women's a cappella group, The Barden Bellas, as they compete against another a cappella group from their college to win Nationals. The film is loosely adapted from Mickey Rapkin's non-fiction book, titled Pitch Perfect: The Quest for Collegiate A Cappella Glory.

Its script is more than a smidge pitchy. And there are at least two reasons to protest its Print Page treatment of Anna Kendrick’s Beca, the once outsider freshman who took the all-girl Barden Bellas to new competitive a capella heights in the sharp, sassy and Like sweetly humble original film that sprouted into an eminently re-watchable sleeper success mostly via DVD and cable in 2012. Like 12 First, not only is the diminutive dynamo subjected to bouts of abuse about her lack of height in the form of two towering Teutonic twits from a rival group known as 3 Das Sound Machine, now that the Bellas are competing on an international level. (Although her weird girl-crush on the intimidating Valkyrie-like female half of this bullying pair at least gives Kendrick something amusing to chew on). But on top of that, Beca’s very presence in the film has been shrunk. In fact, she spends much of her senior year guiltily sneaking off to an internship at a recording studio to pursue her dream of being a music producer instead of devoting herself to boosting her fellow Bellas. That also means less time cuddling with tenor Jesse (Skylar Astin), whose all-boy Treblemakers are now more cohorts than foes. The one upside: As her distracted boss, Keegan-Michael Key delivers a stellar slam against hipsterdom involving that mystifyingly popular sauce known as sriracha.

We have organized a wonderful festival this year in- cluding over 60 feature length and short films, semi- nars and discussions. Our festival crew have worked around the clock to bring you the best selection of Asian and Asian Diaspora films from around the world. This year, we not only look outward for modern Asian cinema, but also in our own backyard with our “MADE IN HOLLAND” Film Lab project. Traditionally Asian cinema has been defined as films made in Asia. As our world becomes more globally diverse and immigration increases yearly, cultural and geographic borders become less defined and more transparent. The Netherlands has a long history of being open to Asian influence starting with the colonies in Indonesia and Asian trade during the Golden Age. Modern immi- gration has brought many more Asians to Europe and with them, a new hybrid cultural phenomenon, the European-Asian. With our “MADE IN HOLLAND” Film Lab project, we seek to give a voice to this relatively new group specifi- cally through film as an artistic and communicative tool.
