If there’s one thing to look forward to whenever a new Pixar film is released, it’s that delightful short movie that accompanies the feature presentation.

Let’s all be honest here; Han Solo is the coolest character in the Star Wars universe. In a galaxy populated with sad religions that disapprove of any lapses in faith, bounty hunters who somehow find themselves swallowed by massive desert genitalia and politicians who happen to be more juiced and evil than Eskom, Han Solo was the one person that every kid …
Gentlemen, hold onto your potatoes, because Ip Man is back! Who is Ip Man, you ask? Sir, I pity you. If you haven’t yet seen some of Donnie Yen and his lightning quick fists, head on over to this article, and scroll down to number 9. We’ll wait right here. Finished? Good. Want more period Chinese ass-kick Kung Fu but …
