Hollywood has lost the art of filming good fight scenes
Serious film critics scoff at lunkhead action movies, but fight scenes offer nuggets of cinema in its purest formYou wait ages for a lunkhead action pic to come along, and then District 13: Ultimatum and Ip Man arrive in the same week, followed by Ong-Bak: The Beginning a fortnight later. That makes three films in which men (and in District 13, a girl whose pigtail has blades attached to the end) beat the crap out of each other, and none of them is american. GI Joe and gamer don't count, because their fight scenes are rubbish; Hollywood has forgotten the art of filming combat. I'm not interested in bravura displays of ultra-rapid editing and CGI. I want to see real people going at it mano-a-mano, or gamba-a-gamba or whatever, with minimal trickery and no 'fucking the frame', as Michael Bay calls it. A bit of slo-mo is permissible, but not too much, and definitely no arty camera angles. I want to see the choreography, preferably from a fixed camera position with minimal editing.Serious

Rachel Nichols Gets her Hot Thai on
Rachel Nichols was recently at the Bangkok International Film Festival and dressed up in traditional Thai clothing and looked, wow, yeah, I think Rachel Nichols can put on hobo clothes and be covered in dirt and guys would still be lining up to tap that. So here’s Rachel Nichols in traditional Thai dress, looking so good they might have to close down the film festival less she burn up the joint. Which would mean she would get arrested for arson or something. The Thais are weird that way, or so I’ve heard.

Was Bruce Lee the boss at kung fu?
Bruce Lee's martial arts skills may have looked stunning to the untrained eye, but for every fan there is a scepticWas Bruce Lee actually any good at martial arts? Ask anyone who punches, chops, kicks or throws as a hobby or even a living and the answer will be one of incredulity - isn't it obvious? Of course he was good, he was amazing! You can see how people might get confused - all the cat squeaks, the ambiguous scratches on his body from the tiger claw of Han, and the general kung fooey hysteria that still envelops martial arts. And then there was his death at 32 - very James Dean - just before the release of Enter the Dragon. So how do you know? How does a non-martial artist tell how good Bruce Lee was?Born into a family of well-respected actors in 1940, Bruce Lee was in movies from the age of three, and by the time he left Hong Kong for the US, when he was 18, he'd been in more than a dozen feature films. But acting was always just a vehicle for Lee to promote his fascination wit

The DIY films that vanish without trace
For every Morris: A Life with Bells On that enjoy success, there are countless DIY labours of love that will never find an audience. So why are the studios ignoring Britain's burgeoning indie film industry?Here on my desk, hemmed in by coffee mugs and dwarfed by the computer screen, sits a stack of DVDs: the equivalent of a publisher's slush of unsolicited manuscripts. So far as I can gather, each disc contains an independent, DIY British motion picture. DIY in that it is bereft of a studio and distributor; independent in the sense of being an orphan. And as they mount up, these discs start to pose a conundrum. There are simply too many of the things to sit through, and only so much mileage in writing about films that nobody can actually go and see. So they sit there silently, taunting me.Sometimes, against the odds, one of these orphans will break out of the slush pile. Last Sunday saw the release of Morris: A Life With Bells On, an amiable mockumentary about an avant-garde morri
