Ip Man 2 (2010)
It's of course a sequel, and "Ip Man" is simply the name of the main character, based on a real-life figure (he's not a superhero). I did not see the original, but it's easy enough to get by without. In the first film, he fought against the Japanese, who occupied Hong Kong during the 1940s. In this film, the war is over and he returns to Hong Kong to open a martial arts school. He hopes to teach Wing Chun, which -- according to the movie -- emphasizes simultaneous striking and self-defense. He suffers through some lean times before finally winning several students, led by the hot-headed Leung (Huang Xiaoming). read more...

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny (2016)
First, let me just say that there is a difference between genre films made for mainstream acceptance and genre films made for fans. The former are generally slower, prettier, and more puffed-up and padded, while the latter are leaner, scrappier, and unafraid to wallow in the lower regions. If we're talking Westerns, it's the difference between Dances With Wolves and The Tall T, or if we're talking sci-fi, it's the difference between Avatar and Donnie Darko. And it's the difference between Ang Lee's original Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and this sequel. read more...
