Marvel’s Next Avengers Film #3: Luke Cage and Iron Fist
16 May 2012 3:30 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
With “The Avengers” sequel officially confirmed by Marvel/Disney, comic book fans the world over will be contemplating which of the publisher’s other heroes could be added to the line-up, potentially getting their own solo movie as soon as 2014 – filling the popularly acknowledged gap in the schedule alongside Captain America 2 that summer.
Of course, we have to bear in mind that Marvel Studios do not own the film rights to characters as key to their comic book universe as Daredevil, Spider-Man, Wolverine or the Fantastic Four – all of whom have allied with or become members of the Avengers at one time or another – but with that consideration in place, here is another suggestion for Marvel’s Next Avengers Film:
Power Man (Luke Cage) and Iron Fist (Daniel Rand)
Why?: Because they are an awesome pairing and, whilst both characters could easily sustain their own solo movie, a »

Emperor And The White Snake: DVD review
10 May 2012 11:16 AM, PDT | 24framespersecond.net | See recent 24FramesPerSecond news »
Director: Ching Siu Tung. Review: Adam Wing. Stop me if you’ve heard this one. Two beautiful girls live amongst the trees, frolicking in a CGI forest and talking to animals. They could be lovers, they might be sisters (very close sisters), but they frolic all the same - laughing, giggling and slithering through life. One of the girls becomes obsessed with a rather damp excuse for a human being, saves his life and then stalks him for a while. The other girl longs for companionship and befriends a dim-witted demon hunter. The dim-witted hunter is bitten by a giant bat demon and starts to transform, but the beautiful girl vows to teach him the ways of a human/demon hybrid – as you do I guess. Perhaps I should’ve mentioned that this is a Jet Li movie, with the martial arts legend appearing alongside a long line of CGI nastiness, »
First Trailer For Martial Arts Film Wu Dang
7 May 2012 12:33 PM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
Backed by three strong Kung Fu performers - Vincent Zhao (aka Chiu Man Chuk), Dennis To and Louis Fan - Wu Dang (大武当之天地密码) is the first martial arts film that captures the treasure of Wu Dang Kung Fu and the mysticism of Ying Yang.

An American conspirator took his well-trained kung fu daughter to Wudang by sponsoring a Taoist martial arts competition, to steal the treasure. Out of expectation, a disciple represented Wudang to compete with other martial arts masters for the championship. During the competition, »
The Welshman who rocked Asian action cinema
4 May 2012 4:06 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Gareth Huw Evans' new film pits an elite Jakarta police unit against an entire towerblock of baddies. It's fast, violent and daring, like the best of the genre
If there's one word used to describe Asian cinema, it's usually "extreme". From South Korea we've had the hammer-wielding antics of Oldboy, whose star ate a live baby octopus, while from Japan we've had Takashi Miike's Ichi The Killer, in which a severed face hits a wall and slides down it – in one of the film's lighter moments. From Hong Kong comes pretty much anything with Jackie Chan in it, a martial artist who proudly boasts of having broken every bone in his 5ft 8" body. And now from Indonesia comes The Raid, an action extravaganza teeming with machete-twirling, gravity-defying psychos who slice, smash and crush anything that dares cross their path.
Set in the slums of Jakarta, The Raid stars Iko Uwais as Rama, »

Fight the Fight (2011)
3 May 2012 2:38 PM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
Directed by Ming-Sing Wong
Featuring Wah Yuen, Sammo Hung, Kam-Bo, Tin Chiu Hung, Kane Kosugi, Chia Yung Liu, Ian Powers
The older I get, the more complicated and bureaucratic life seems to become.
Interest, investments, savings and credit ratings are commonplace to life these days. I often wish I could do without them; withdraw all my money from the bank, stuff it in my mattress and go off the grid. But based on what I’ve learned from Wah Yuen’s Fight the Fight, one can never fully escape the reachings of bureaucracy, not even in a Kung Fu throwdown.
Fight the Fight begins in Thames, England, which is not actually a place. The Thames is the river that runs through London, but there is no town named Thames. It appears to be a magical place, where Jie Chen (Sammy Hung) is a really impressive flyer distributor as he whips »

Yahoo! Lists the 100 Funniest Movies to See Before You Die
10 April 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
It's not easy to put together a top 100 of just about anything, but the folks over at Yahoo! Movies have really thrown down the gauntlet this time with a list of the 100 Funniest Movies to See Before You Die. In describing the list, they maintain that their goal was to choose the "funniest" movies out there, not necessarily the "best" comedies. With that in mind, you might think they'd stay away from critically acclaimed classics and lean more toward low brow, quick and easy laughfests. But you'd be wrong. There are a lot of classics on this list, everything from The Apartment to Dr. Strangelove to Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times and Buster Keaton's The General. There are also movies on here that aren't really "comedies" per se, such as Pulp Fiction and Martin Scorsese's After Hours. More than anything, this serves as a reminder that what is »

Deadly Shaolin monks, legless fighters perched atop the shoulders of armless fighters, goofy cartoon sound effects, flying guillotines, black-clad ninjas, villains with long white beards laughing with voices that don.t quite seem to match their lip movements. Welcome to .70s Kung Fu. Bruce Lee may be dead, but the martial arts action films he helped popularize with American moviegoers will never die. Though Kung Fu movies were actually around long before the 1970s, emerging as a popular genre in China soon after the end of World War II, the decade of the 1970.s was the Golden Age of Martial Arts cinema, when the genre was an international phenomenon.

Poster for Princess And The Seven Kungfu Masters
7 April 2012 3:44 AM, PDT | 24framespersecond.net | See recent 24FramesPerSecond news »
The “comedy” element of Wong Jing’s martial arts action flick Princess and Seven Kung Fu Masters may be cause to pause, but it’s the fact the cast it chock full of some martial arts action legends, that’s really caught our attention. Sammo Hung leads the cast along with Sandra Ng, Ronald Cheng, Eric Tsang, Wong Cho Lam,and Wah Yuen. We nabbed a first look a the teaser poster and a brief summary of the plot, which so far is reading like some sort of campy Kung-Fu send up of the ‘Magnificent Seven’ meets ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ Reason enough to give it a watch and then some but we’ll have to wait a while as its not due out until August. Synopsis: To protect their homeland from Japanese invasion, seven retired Kung-Fu masters are back in action to assist the local warlord (Sammo Hung »
‘Total Recall’ Takes a Page from ‘The Matrix’: Colin Farrell Becomes Neo in Latest Trailer
4 April 2012 9:53 PM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
“I know Kung Fu?”
The latest trailer for Total Recall shows a movie that not only takes its cue from the original film, but also The Matrix.
The first minute of the trailer focuses on Doug Quaid’s visit to Rekall, the company that can implant memories in your mind so that you can live out virtual fantasies. Once that minute is up, you’ll see the guards (that look like Storm Troopers) fly in to secure Quaid.
However, just as the Recall Storm Troopers go in for the arrest, the camera switches over to bullet time so that we can see Quaid unlocking those secret memories in his mind. It’s a page from The Matrix, Quaid goes from simple man to Ninja Assassin in a heartbeat.
The action is a definite step up from the original film, which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger.
At 1:27-1:40 you get to see Kate Beckinsale as Lori. »
