This isn't the two-film Donnie Chen bio-epic, but another version of the same thing? I watched the Donnie Chen Ip Man, and liked it quite a bit. Ip Man 2 is currently on Netflix streaming so I'll probably give it a go. A very interesting storyline, and if true, quite compelling. I know very little about the man, but I can relate to the historical setting to some degree, particularly when the protagonist is forced to flee from Japanese invasion in 1937 or thereabouts. ...

Nov 21 11 2:03 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'd like to see the Donnie Yen IP MAN movies now. I think they're directed by the same guy (Wilson Yip) who directed him in KILL ZONE which I loved. In that, Donnie does those long takes that I like during fight scenes. THE LEGEND IS BORN: IP MAN has a shot in the title sequence that isn't in the movie, which appears to be him and his wife watching Japanese soldiers marching down the street. So it looks like the sequel may already be shot. Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

Nov 22 11 12:35 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	blackbiped wrote: CASE HISTORIES Jason Isaacs Thanks for commenting on this. I've had it on my Netflix queue since it was released but have to endure the Long Wait or Longer endurance test. The series is a bit too pricey for my buying schedule but I may relent in a month or so if Netflix hasn't been cracked. Phil Davis also had a very meaty role in the recent Whitechapel: The Ripper Returns mini-series. If you like Jason Isaacs, I can also recommend his role in the (now defunct, I think) TV series, Brotherhood. Two seasons at least. He's a little miscast as a Baltimore Irish thug that strains his Brit accent at times, but the series is a decent crime-melodrama somewhat in the realm of The Sopranos or The Wire but not quite as gritty. Getting to see Annabeth Gish nekkid a time or two certainly helps overcome other weaknesses. ... Reed

Nov 23 11 6:17 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Thanks OM, I'll be on the lookout for BROTHERHOOD. I always liked Jason Isaacs but it's nice seeing him play cool characters for a change. I even think he might make a pretty good 007. Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way. Porfle's Secret Blog HK and Cult Film News Andersonvision.com

Like Max Headroom this show never lived up to its potential. I do seem to remember one episode where Harrison Page walked around with a paper airplaine stuck to the back of his head.

Dec 10 11 12:19 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Yeah, that was the first episode, I think. The one with the laugh track, which was wisely done away with thereafter. I think Page was one of the best things about that show. Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way. Porfle's Secret Blog HK and Cult Film News Andersonvision.com

Dec 15 11 9:21 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	blackbiped wrote: CASE HISTORIES Jason Isaacs Back again on this one, bb. The wife and I just finished this first season, and I have to say I enjoyed it quite a bit -- once the first episode was in the can. You forgot to mention the _extremely_ annoying and entirely misplaced twangy western guitar musical score that took me right out of the storyline. Once that -- and the repetitive flashbacks -- were let go, the last two storylines were quite compelling, and much edgier and somewhat hardboiled than you (and perhaps the author of the novels) mentioned. My favorite episode was the second, followed closely by the third. That first one? I suppose it's necessary to set up the emotional depth of the rest, but it was a tough slog for me. Isaacs is quite good in this. Damaged detectives -- either physically or emotionally -- are part of the hard-boiled trope. ... Reed

Dec 16 11 2:24 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'm glad you liked it! The twangy music didn't bother me, but I did think that the flashbacks were overdone in the first one. I also agree that 2 and 3 were the best episodes. I think I like 3 best because of the "Reggie" character. Your insights are always interesting to read.
