Best Martial Arts Films: Blood and Bone Review VIDEO

"Blood and Bone"... this is my new FAVORITE Martial Arts Film. OMG. I had thought it was all about Gina Carano... but Michael Jai White just blew me away. Who is this guy? Where has he been all my life? The flying punch with a scissor-kick, c'mon.

This was the best opening scene in a martial arts movie that I'd ever seen. The fight choreography, the skill... perfect form, perfect execution. As a practiced martial artist, myself, it was just gorgeous to watch. Nothing fake here.


Be prepared (spoiler):
They "tap out" but the guy breaks their arm anyway!

I can't believe it took me so  long to see this thing. WOW. I watched it. I watched 'The Special Features'. I watched it with commentary and then I watched it again.

Netflix isn't enough. I need to OWN this one.

This is real martial arts for real martial artists. In fact, the script was written by a 20 year veteran of the martial arts (an "Old Schooler" like me). Plus, the star, Michael Jai White, actually holds 7 Black Belts! Are you kidding me?! (I only hold 3.)

I am in awe. The choreography, the skill, the fricken ART of it all.

If you get the DVD, be sure to watch the Special Features and the movie, again, with Commentary. It will give you more insight into the 'Making of'... and incline you to give respect where respect is due.

Movie Reviews: "The Last AirBender" Fantasy Martial Arts

Who likes Fantasy? I have to say it's 3rd on my list, behind Sci Fi and Horror but... it's still fun. Who can say what is beyond that wall at the end of the Universe? What was once thought insane (inane?) fantasy is now our science... flying, visiting other planets, even television. Let alone communicating instantly with someone on the other side of the world. Wow. Makes you think ANYTHING is possible.

 Just to keep my sanity, I like to say, "All GOOD things are possible."

This is a fun little flick. There is an interesting element of martial arts within all the "magic". Reminds me of Tai Chi. I don't have a lot of experience with Tai Chi but I consider it (as many do), not only one of the most lethal and practical martial arts, but also the most difficult to master... it takes a great deal of patience. Something most us possess little of.

It also looks like Kung Fu to me. But that is one style I have never practiced, let alone mastered.

Please, tell us what YOU see.

Movie Review "MIMIC 3: Sentinel"

Image by wvs via Flickr

The Gorgeous Alexis Dziena

Creepy (So creepy I had to watch it in 4 installments!) and absorbing (as have been all three) but this one has the added delight of actresses Alexis Dziena (Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist) and Rebecca Mader (Lost).

I was expecting (as this is the third installment) a total B-film Creature Feature extravaganza. But, then, was delightfully surprised by the subtle character development and unusual relationships. Plus, the acting was superb. Nothing B here.

Favorite Lines:
"Haven't you guys seen this movie? (Effen) terrible idea..."

Note: Saw an enormous cockroach while taking a bath today. Ugh. I tried to spare it by spraying it with vinegar (and this is what I hate about them) the damn thing ran AT ME! (Instead of away from me). So I had to grab the BUG spray... again ugh. I finally subdued it and flushed it down the toilet.

I have respect, you know, for spiders and cockroaches... as Mother Nature's  creations (and know that they will probably survive long after the HUMAN race) but still... they creep me out.

Now, imagine one as BIG as a human. That's the theme of this movie. UCK! I have to keep telling myself... It's food coloring... just food coloring. YUCKEE. If you like creepy gore, this one should be high on your list. But be sure to watch all three in order, if you can. They are all outstanding.

Written and Directed by J.T. Petty. Thank you J.T. for an AWESOME gruesome grotesque experience! You're the MAN.

He (she?) also wrote another favorite: "The Burrowers". Check out this post:

And look what else I found. It might be ancient in Blog years but could still be fun (a J.T. Petty Blog post.  P.S.  It's a HE:
