(written mainly by Matt)

Fearless (starring Jet Li)



Fearless tells the story of Huo Yuan Jia, a young boy who defies his father to learn Wushu. After becoming the champion of Tianjin he goes through a personal quest of self discovery and helps China during the period of English colonisation through fighting.


Ip Man (starring Donnie Yen)



Donnie Yen plays Ip Man (Bruce Lee's shifu) in a story about the Sino-Japanese war and how Wing Chun was used during that period to defend the Chinese people. It is one of the best fighting films in recent years, so if you missed it at the cinemas, this would be a great time to catch it!
