There have been a number of attempts to bring the short life of martial arts legend Bruce Lee to the screen. In the years following his untimely death in 1973 Bruceploitation was born, a whole new genre created to continue Lee’s legacy starring lookalike actors with names such as Bruce Li and Bruce Le in films either emulating Lee’s style and re-hashing his previous films or taking the biopic route and telling fantastical, mythical interpretations of Lee’s life. As new stars began to emerge from the martial arts scene the genre was thankfully short lived, despite this the desire to tell a definitive version of the Bruce Lee story never faded.
In 1993 director Rob Cohen made a valiant effort at bringing Lee’s story to life with Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. Starring Jason Scott Lee (no relation) in the leading role the film had all the elements...

Keep your eyes open for upcoming Singapore based martial arts picture Spirit Of Fight. Because if the recently released promo reel for the picture is any indication the film could very well push Danny Chan over the hump and make a major international action star out of him.
Though the film is still very much in early days and information is sketchy - there's not even a clear statement of who is directing the thing - here's what we know.
Inspired at least partially by the anniversary of Bruce Lee's death the film is a tournament style fight film set in the world of international mixed martial arts. Taking the lead is Danny Chan, whose resemblance to Bruce Lee led to a high profile support part in Stephen Chow's Shaolin Soccer, the lead in television series The Legend Of Bruce Lee and a handful of other supporting roles in recent feature films.

It's a big release day for TV box sets, and not a heck of a lot else. The only major movie hitting DVD and Blu-ray this week is Ridley Scott's Robin Hood, and although I wasn't particularly taken with the film, I am slightly curious about the Unrated Director's Cut. Also out this week is the Academy Award-winning Spanish thriller The Secret in their Eyes, Harmony Korine's Trash Humpers and Neil Jordan's Ondine starring Colin Farrell, plus two direct-to-dvd releases: the remake of The Experiment starring Adrien Brody and Stomp the Yard 2: Homecoming. Get your sitcom fix with new seasons of 30 Rock, Community, Modern Family, and How I Met Your Mother, or get your T&A fix with Spartacus: Blood and Sand. Do you see anything worth picking up this week? Robin Hood: Director's Cut [1] (+ Blu-ray [2]) The Secret in their Eyes [3] (+ Blu-ray [4]) The Experiment [5] (+ Blu-ray [6]) Stomp the Yard: Homecoming...

Modern Family: Season 1
Who better to document the 21st-century American family than a Dutch film crew capturing the clan's antics for a reality show in the Netherlands?

Community: Season 1
When times get tough, the tough go back to college. This is what lawyer Jeff Winger decides to do when his degree is suddenly revoked. Now a Greendale Community College student,...
