GEORGE CHEUNG MOVIES

It's always fun to say you go to church with someone who is on TV and in movies.

But lately, it's gotten a little ridiculous. I feel like I'm seeing Uncle George everywhere.

He recommended we check out one of his movies about a humorous take on Chinese culture and race relations called "American Fusion." We actually found the movie pretty funny. In one scene, they choose a doctor simply because his name is Dr. Lee and they figure he's Chinese. But to the old-fashioned mother's dismay, he's African American. Later, to thank him for healing the mother, the family brings things they think he'll like -- a basketball, Popeye's fried chicken, and a cake with Cadillac cars on it!

After checking out that movie, I went home to discover that Dish Network was giving us a free preview of some of the movie channels (HBO, Showtime, etc.)

Before I knew it, I was watching Uncle George in "Rush Hour" and then "Lethal Weapon 4" and then "Rambo II" and then "Starsky & Hutch" and then "The Pursuit of Happyness" and then . . . Well, you see where I'm going with this. And this only a few months after we saw him in Rush Hour 3!

It was pretty cool.
