I really really want to be excited for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny. I’m such a gigantic fan of Ang Lee’s Oscar-winning first film, that I couldn’t help but get tingly in all the right places when a sequel was first announced. Add to that the fact that Michelle Yeoh would be returning, but this time star opposite …

I’m a man of diverse cinematic tastes. Sometimes I want to watch a grueling 2.5 hour long odyssey on the power of revenge told in the most artistic way possible, and sometimes times I want to have my worldview expanded by informative filmmaking that evokes a full spectrum of emotions. And other times, I just want to watch Donnie Yen …

If you’ve never seen one of the previous two Ip Man films, you’ve deprived yourself of some of the best martial arts ass kicking – and punching, oh the punching! – ever caught on film. In the films (at least in the original two; not counting the lesser prequel) martial arts superstar Donnie Yen portrays the titular wing chun master …

It was Disney’s D23 Expo this weekend past, and while most Star Wars fans already knew not to expect huge revelations for Star Wars: The Force Awakens thanks to last week’s epic revelations, JJ Abrams’ upcoming flick is of course not the only Star Wars film in development.

Clearly, the universe disagrees though, as its set my fanboy heat a-fluttering with a report from Hong Kong tabloid Apple Daily (via TwitchFilm) …

When it comes to martial arts stars, I’ve got to admit that Donnie Yen will always be at the top of my list of all-time greats. Sure, Jet Li and Jackie Chan may be far more recognisable than Yen, but ask any purist to rank the number one ass-kicker around and they’ll vote nine times out of Yen for the …

Donnie Yen has made a career out of being a kung fu ass-kicker, and never was at his ass-kickiest best than in his two Ip Man movies. Quasi-biographical tales based on the life of the real Ip Man, a kung fu grandmaster who popularized the fighting style of Wing Chun and boasted none other than Bruce Lee as his pupil, …

In case you were wondering, no, this whole trend of similar movies all releasing at the same time is not just a Hollywood thing. Case in point: The Monkey King, a new big budget, over the top, crazy CGI epic telling the countless times adapted Chinese folk tale, “Journey to the West”. Not to be confused with Stephen “Kung Fu Hustle” Chow’s Journey …
