« Showdown in Little Tokyo and Bridge of Dragons

Battle in Seattle »

5/24/08

I can’t imagine a more relevant way to celebrate Memorial Day weekend than to review two movies where Dolph Lundgren battles Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. Can you? If not please enjoy my doubleheader of SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO and BRIDGE OF DRAGONS.

Also, I am not one to follow celebrity gossip, but the best thing I’ve read lately is Slate’s coverage of the R. Kelly trial. The story is fuckin nuts and the guy writing it is really funny. The whole thing is fascinating but I especially like in day 2 the part where the defense lawyer questions a witness about the movie LITTLE MAN by “the Waymons Brothers.”

Share and Enjoy:
