Awesome movies!

Andrew introduced me to a movie called Ip Man, about the famous Chinese martial artist of the same name, who was Bruce Lee's Master. There are two of them: Ip Man, and Ip Man 2. Just finished watching them both, the first one for a second time. Excellent movies, and highly recommended. Masterful Chinese movie-making at it's best.

I'll have to check them out. Some of my recent favorites include Rushmore and Our Idiot Brother which just came out. However, Our Idiot Brother is not up to par with Anchorman. As far as martial arts movies... the best one I've ever seen is The Legend of the Drunken Master with Jackie Chan.

Then get ready to have your socks blown off. These are martial arts movies with not only great action, but a great plot, excellent acting, and no cheese.

Yeah their pretty good. There's a third one too.

I've just ordered Aussie Park Boyz - The Next Chapter. I loved the first one and have watched it heaps. Not many people liked it for some reason, but I loved it. It's about gangs in Australia and it's mainly the fighting in it shows some stuff that could happen in the street.

Wow Shannon - Great minds really do think alike . I watched these 2 movies a few weeks back ( before you posted this) . I agree , very enjoyable movies . I also saw 'young bruce lee ' (released last year) ,about the first 19 years of bruce's life - not strictly a martial arts movie but more of a biopic .Its based on the book by bruce's younger brother ,therefore probably pretty accurate . . Hey did you guys know that Bruce was a ballroom dancing (cha cha cha ) champion in Hong Kong , before going to the US aged 19 ? No , neither did I .
