Item #1 - How Bruce Lee Changed The World
For those of us who love Bruce Lee’s influence on modern Asian cinema you’ve probably seen many incarnations of program in some form or another. Like an 80’s DJ who is ultimately limited by the fact that there is a finite number of tracks they can play, there seems to have been so much overlap with footage we’ve seen with regard to the man who was wickedly charismatic and destined for far more than we were given.

At this point, there’s really no debate as to whether or not Bruce Lee was the coolest man to ever pick up a pair of nunchucks, or even punch anyone in the face (which pits him against such legendary face-punchers such as Sean Connery and Harrison Ford); it’s pretty much a given. The man’s accomplishments not only in martial arts, but also in philosophy and cultural advancement (he was just about the first Asian person to portray a leading Asian character in television or film), dwarf those of nearly any living media figure, and have firmly cemented his reputation as one of the leading folk heroes of the Twentieth Century. Given all that, it’s too bad that How Bruce Lee Changed The World doesn’t measure up a little better. With a title as daunting and ambitious as that, you’d think that those involved would...

Watchmen—Director’S Cut (Warner Bros.) Director Zack Snyder’s film of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ landmark graphic novel is as worthy an adaptation of a great book that has ever been filmed. In an alternative version of the year 1985, Richard Nixon is serving his third term as President and super heroes have been outlawed by a congressional act, in spite of the fact that two of the most high-profile “masks,” Dr. Manhattan (Billy Cruddup) and The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) helped the U.S. win the Vietnam War. When The Comedian is found murdered, many former heroes become concerned that a conspiracy is afoot to assassinate retired costumed crime fighters. Former masks Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson), Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman) and still-operating Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley, in an Oscar-worthy turn) launch an investigation of their own, all while the Pentagon’s “Doomsday...
