Ip Man 2 - Donnie Yen's Ip Man, about the early life of Bruce Lee's master, was easily one of our favorites last year. I sure hope the inevitable sequel is up to snuff! Because of an improv tournament over the weekend, I've decided to break with tradition and show it on Thursday instead. The movie just came out on DVD and we can't wait any longer than that.
The Lady Hermit - There's always at least one Shaw Brothers movie each month, and in May, that's The Lady Hermit starring Cheng Pei-Pei. It'll also be a test of Funimation's Shaw Bros. line, to see if I will buy from them again. Amazon keeps pushing their product with cool mod covers, but I want to check out the quality before I invest more.
The Man from Nowhere - Been a little while since we've had an Asian crime thriller, and even longer since we've been to Korea. The Man from Nowhere is a new release that offers both, and from what I've heard, it's pretty good, even if I expect the story to be derivative (it usually is in these things).
Warriors of Heaven and Earth - Our token historical epic mixes western-style outlaw heroes with magic and Chinese history. Production values on Chinese historical epics are usually high, so even if it turns out the film has problems, it'll most likely be entertaining. I've bought films like this on sight based on what actors were in it. In this case, I don't recognize anyone, but reviews were favorable, so why not?
And that's our month of May. Hope that those who can join us, will!
