Hero or villain, a Sammo Hung movie will always win. He never fails to deliver a passionate execution in true martial arts flair. Rise of the Legend places Hung toe to toe with Eddie Peng in a bloody battle of skill and youth. True to his renowned name, Sammo Hung aggressively tackles the role of Master Lui bringing to life a ruthless and intelligent leader.

Once Upon a Time, in the Digital Age…: Chen’s Latest a Message Heavy Oddity
A critique of the hounding one sidedness of the omnipresent media mixed with a heavy swirl of romance and melodrama dictates Chen Kaige’s latest feature, Caught in the Web, an oddly flat critique of the life and times in which we live, especially considering the controversy courting director’s past work, including his much hailed Farewell, My Concubine (1993).

While performances and visual aesthetics are engaging, there’s a definite shortage of narrative cohesiveness, and...
