Ip Man 2008 - The Master of Bruce Lee

The Real IP Man..




I saw this movie on netflix like twice already since I really like the action sequence and also the story of course since it gave me new perspective in life... This has to be one of my favorite movie of all time.
The cinematography is awesome and fight choreography is amazing.

I haven't really watched any martial arts film for a long time, and I'm a big fan at heart. I guess in my mind there's really not worth anything seeing nowadays since everything is just "build up hyped" except for the old ones which are more better with plots and storyline. I've been hooked on horror and thriller movies lately.

Check out the trailer:




Anyways, I saw this movie on netflix, supposedly this movie came out on 2008.

here's the description from netflix;

An occupying Japanese general (Hiroyuki Ikeuchi) challenges Chinese men to duels so he can prove the superiority of the Japanese. Ip Man (Donnie Yen) -- a Chinese martial arts master forced to work in the mines -- refuses to fight, but can resist for only so long. Revisit the early days of Ip Man, who gained later fame as an early trainer of Bruce Lee, in director Wilson Yip's action-packed biopic set during the Sino-Japanese War.

I also heard that he was the trainer of Bruce Lee. Well, since im a fan of Bruce Lee, I got to check this out...LOL..he's the best, we need to check out who his trainer is..hehe

I think this is the movie that you should watch.

Mother

I saw a lot of movies during the holidays and breaks added. I haven't really got a chance to blog about them. I even signed up for netflix. Its very Convenient to have netflix so you don't have to travel and go to a video store if your feeling lazy or whatever the case is.
Anyway I rented this movie from Blockbuster during the holidays, called "Mother". Its a Korean movie I found near the New Release section. I don't really watch this type of Genre(Drama &Thriller type) but after reading the short sypnosis, it seems to have a good plot. So I gave it a shot since I have all the time in the world to watch so many movies in my three weeks of break. I have to say, it was very good, the ending wasn't exactly the way I want it to end but it was good. At least they were able to find out what she was looking for and able to solve the problem that she's not ready for.. Its amazing how a mother would break any boundaries and limitations for her child.
From watching this movie, I have to say Truth must comes out whether you can't handle it or not. It will set you free, but it will make you miserable at first.
Check out the trailer.




Here's a little info about the movie I found on Netflix:
A murder rocks a South Korean town and suspicion quickly falls on a reclusive, mentally challenged -- and alibi-free -- young man (Bin Won). When an inept public defender botches the boy's case, his mother (Hye-ja Kim) sets out to prove her son's innocence. Acclaimed director Joon-ho Bong (Memories of Murder) explores the lengths a mother will go to protect her child in this atmospheric crime thriller.
