    My next coupla martial arts recos:

    War of the Arrows
    http://www.wellgousa.com/war-of-the-arrow
    not so much kung fu, but lottsa arrow shooting and a solid historical action drama about the second Manchu invasion of Korea


    White Vengeance
    http://www.wellgousa.com/white-vengeance
    another historical action drama, this one about the Chu-Han Contention period of China. Heavy on the chess metaphors, but packed with great visuals, lots of blood and guts, and some intriguing Macbethian twists.

    Both Altered and Altered Fate for something to watch that doesn't suck.

    ^if the Altered you're recommending is the one directed by Eduardo Sanchez (of Blair Witch fame), then I heartily second watching it. Intense sci-fi potboiler.

    Better than Blair Witch by far....

    Altered Fate is a comedy with a hot chick lead role.
    Simple but cute.

    Ever seen Liquid Sky?

    For those of you who dug Wu Dang, this is one of my other favorite martial arts/kung fu epics of the past few years (it just popped up on NF this week). It's completely over-the-top, slightly in the vein of Kung Fu Hustle, but with a "historic" back-drop, so it kind of owes a debt to Once Upon A Time In China, as well as King of Beggars (two classics any self-respecting fan of the genre should see, imho). Oh yeah, there's nods to Scott Pilgrim, too...

    Thanks for this, one of the best dance scenes I have seen was the two doods in the rest room.

    Killer Claustrophobic PoMo Noir/Thriller Double-Feature of the Week:

    SUSHI GIRL
    this flick owes a serious debt to Reservoir Dogs and Killing Zoe, but holds its own thanks to solid acting and old school practical effects.

    Headhunters

    Great flick. Subtitled. Track is in Norwegian. Great thriller. Has the feel of Dragon Tattoo meets Snatch.




    features Jaime Lannister from Game of Thrones.

    Goes downhill pretty quick. If you've got other shows on backlog I'd skip it. And I watch way too much crap tv.

    'Top of the Lake,' a BBC series set in NZ is now available on Netflix. I've watch 2 episodes and am pretty hooked. Elizabeth Moss as a detective in a child crime case up in a mountain town. Twin Peaks vibe. Also kind of Killing-esque I guess, though I've never seen that show.

    This is a forgotten/overlooked classic in my books and a great '70s crime flick. It was directed by Don Siegel, who helmed such memorable cinematic ventures as Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Killers, Two Mules for Sister Sara, Dirty Harry, The Shootist, Escape from Alcatraz, amongst others.

    Highly recommended.

    Continuum.

    Really well done series about a gang from 2077 that travelled back to 2012 Vancouver. Can be a little hard to follow after a few bong hits. Can't wait for another season to come out.

    ^^^ Continuum was well done. Kid from Jericho and the dude from Intelligence.

    Special Forces, a French flick, is pretty good for Afghanistan war action. Not tits, but good.

    Another BBC series which I enjoyed (along with Top of the Lake) was Copper. Set in NY during civil war. Got a kind of gritty gangs of New York feel to it.

    Just watched Day of The Falcon. Four stars easy.

    Killer tale of Arabia.
    Didn't think I'd like.
    Totally taken with it.
