Wong Kar Wai, Hong Kong Cinema's most prestigious auteur, finally delivers his long-gestating biopic of Wing Chun pioneer Ip Man, and it proves an action-packed visual feast. Light on narrative, but oozing Wong's trademark elegance, the film weaves the director's familiar themes of love, loss and the corrosive nature of time around some of the most gorgeous martial arts sequences ever filmed.
The Grandmaster remains first and foremost a Wong Kar Wai film, employing a very slow, deliberate pace throughout and dedicates long periods of time to watching its characters ponder the great mysteries of life, or more often, wallow in their own regrets and missed opportunities. But this is interspersed by some truly fantastic action, which should delight kung fu fans and arthouse cinephiles alike. In The Grandmaster, Wong Kar Wai has crafted the best-looking martial arts film since Zhang Yimou's Hero, and the most successful marriage of kung fu and classic romance since Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and is more than deserving of that film's measure of international success.
Really can't wait for this
New WWZ trailer
Will it win any Oscars, No! Bit it still looks pretty damn sweet!

Saw that trailer yesterday and was left completely underwhelmed. Has a B-movie vibe to it but I hear this is a popular storyline amongst the comic book community.

That looks fecking epic!
I really should try and read the book before it comes out, but I don't think that's gonna happen as I still have a huge amount of The Passage to get through.
The Place Beyond The Pines
(release date 12th April 2013)
Usually despise the sequel game but Pixar typically produces genius so the next installment to Finding Nemo sounds great - especially featuring Ellen this time around
Plus, my experience has been that anything Lasseter's name is attached to is guaranteed to be quality
Fair point although I never saw Cars 2
Think the Cars detestation thing depends on who you ask. Ask my 4 year old, for example, and Cars 2 is one of the best films ever... probably second only to anything Pokemon. It works for its target audience... which is not always adults.
Only God Forgives RED BAND Trailer. NSFW
New slow burn ultra violence from the guys who brought us Drive
He's certainly very good at not moving his face.
