This article made me wish
This article made me wish I lived in LA, for the first time ever: "Heroic Grace: The Chinese Martial Arts Film," is a five-years-in-the-making UCLA Film and Television Archive series that opens Friday. I may as well take a moment to mention some martial arts movies that are truly extraordinary, a couple of which are screening at the festival: Iron Monkey (which was re-issued a couple years ago and which most people know about by now), Twin Warriors (aka Tai Chi Master, starring Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh), and Last Hurrah for Chivalry, an amazing early John Woo movie. Seriously, if you haven't seen these, you should, even if you're not wild about martial arts movies.
While we're on the topic, remember that The Bulletproof Monk (which is like a cross between The Matrix and Crouching Tiger, but whose source material predates both of them) is on the way in April, but doesn't look particularly great.
