Treasure Island Treasure Island
List Price: $19.98
Sale Price: $14.93

For many people, this 1934 version is the definitive Treasure Island: the great chemistry between Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper, the rousing pirate anthems, and the stubborn parrot on the shoulder. The pairing of the actors was a cinch, coming three years after their tremendously popular teaming in The Champ. Cooper plays Jim Hawkins, the English boy who discovers a treasure map amongst the possessions of one Billy Bones (Lionel Barrymore in a robust extended cameo), a pirate visitor to the Admiral Benbow Inn. Beery, indelibly, is the one-legged, parrot-toting seadog known as Long John Silver, who joins up on the treasure-hunting expedition by pretending to be a humble cook--though the audience knows he is a fearsome pirate captain. Victor Fleming was just the right director for this manly voyage, holding the MGM luster at bay and allowing the crew of characters actors (among them Otto Kruger, Lewis Stone, and "Chic" Sale) to find their sea legs. At times, the relationship between Jim and Silver is closer to The Champ than to Robert Louis Stevenson's marvelous novel, but it's still true in spirit to the bond between boy and surrogate father. The story has been remade many times, notably in 1950 with Robert Newton as Silver, but this one inspires the longest memories. --Robert Horton

The Champ co-stars Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper reunited for the first sound filming of Robert Louis Stevenson's timeless tale. Cooper is young Jim Hawkins, who sets sail on board the Hispaniola with a map pointing the way to hidden treasure. But when the ship's cook turns out to be Long John Silver (Beery), Hawkins finds himself caught up in the infamous pirate's mutinous plot to steal the loot. With Lionel Barrymore, Lewis Stone. 103 min. Standard; Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital mono, French Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English, French, Spanish; theatrical trailer; bonus shorts "The Spectacle Maker" (1934), "Strikes and Spares" (1934), "Tale of the Vienna Woods" (1934).

Donnie Yen continues to exert his status as the magnetic and skilled star on the international martial arts cinema scene in Ip Man 2, the sequel to his blockbuster 2008 biopic of the iconic Wing Chun grandmaster. The film, also directed by Wilson Yip, picks up where its predecessor left off, with Ip Man (Yen) and his family relocating from China to Hong Kong in the early 1950s. There, he attempts to establish a Wing Chun school, but is challenged at every turn by potential students like Wong Leung (Huang Xiaoming), who later became one of Ip's greatest disciples, and other schools, including a Hung Ga school led by Hung Chun-nam (the legendary Sammo Hung, who also serves as the film's martial arts choreographer). Ip's astonishing skills help him to defend his school's honor, but in order to truly establish roots in Hong Kong, he is forced to participate in a city-wide boxing competition, where he faces a variety of styles and competitors, including an unscrupulous British fighter (Darren Shahlavi). Fans of the original Ip Man may be disappointed by the scope of the sequel, which focuses more on fighting and less on the political and societal tensions that gave its predecessor an emotional gravitas. But for those who simply want to see Yen unleash his seemingly supernatural talents, Ip Man 2 consistently delivers, and ups the ante by including such cult figures as Shahlavi, Louis Fan Siu-Wong (Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky), and Shaw Brothers veteran Lo Mang (Five Deadly Venoms) among its cast members. And for those hoping to finally see the connection between Ip and his most famous disciple, Bruce Lee, the film's coda gives a brief glimpse of their momentous first meeting. The two-disc Collector's Edition set includes an 18-minute making-of featurette that includes behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the cast and crew; all major participants are also featured in a sizable gallery of individual interviews that range from brief chats to 30-minute conversations. A quarter of the deleted scenes offer a few extra minutes of fighting trimmed from the theatrical release, while a trio of trailers and a lightweight shooting diary round out the supplemental features. Sadly, genre expert Bey Logan's commentary, which appears on the UK version of the disc, is not included here. --Paul Gaita

Bruce Lee's famous mentor, Ip Man (Donnie Yen), is back in this sequel to the 2008 hit, moving to Hong Kong to open a martial arts school. In the wake of the Sino-Chinese conflict, Ip Man now finds himself battling British corruption and a rival master (Sammo Hung Kam-Bo) who soon joins him in the fight against a brutal boxing champion called The Twister. Fascinating 1940s period detail mixes with amazing martial arts action! With Simon Yam, Lynn Hung. 108 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: Cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1, English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English; "making of" documentary; theatrical trailers. In Cantonese with English subtitles/Dubbed in English.

They might be expendable, but they sure are durable: The Expendables is crammed with well-traveled action heroes, called to a summit meeting here to capture some of that good old ultraviolent '80s-movie feel. Star-director Sylvester Stallone rides herd as the leader of this mercenary band, which includes Jason Statham, Jet Li, and Stallone's old Rocky V nemesis Dolph Lundgren. Mickey Rourke, looking like a car wreck on Highway 61, plays the tattoo artist who communicates the gang's assignments to Stallone; throw in Terry Crews and Ultimate Fighting champ Randy Couture, and you've got a badass crew indeed. The specifics here involve a Latin American island where US interests have mucked up the local politics beyond repair--but when Sly's eye is caught by the feisty daughter (Giselle Itie) of the local military jefe, a simple job gets complicated. Adding to the B-movie flavor of the enterprise, we've got Eric Roberts and Steve Austin bouncing around as badder-than-the-bad guys, plus Bruce Willis popping in for a one-scene bit, and… well, perhaps another unbilled cameo. The violence doesn't reach the frantic pace of Stallone's last Rambo picture, but it builds to a pretty crazy crescendo in the final reels, during which each cast member gets to show his stuff. Although Stallone's face looks younger than it did in the first Rocky movie, his line delivery is more sluggish than ever, and what lines! The dialogue is stuck in the '80s, too. Although it's pretty ham-handed throughout, The Expendables is likely critic-proof: the audience that wants to see this kind of body-slamming throwdown isn't going to care about the niceties. Let the knife throwing begin. --Robert Horton

Co-writer/director/star Sylvester Stallone leads the charge in this blockbuster that boasts an ensemble cast of action stars, including Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, and Steve Austin. Sly heads a team of mercenaries on a suicide mission in South America to dethrone a dictator. However, when they're betrayed by their benefactor, all their skills will be needed to survive. Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger make cameo appearances. 103 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1 EX; Subtitles: English, Spanish; audio commentary by Stallone; "making of" featurette; deleted scene; gag reel.

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (Widescreen Edition) Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (Widescreen Edition)
List Price: $19.98
Sale Price: $18.97

Ending the most popular film epic in history, Star Wars: Episode III, Revenge of the Sith is an exciting, uneven, but ultimately satisfying journey. Picking up the action from Episode II, Attack of the Clones as well as the animated Clone Wars series, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), pursue General Grievous into space after the droid kidnapped Supreme Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid). The Star Wars Family Tree (click for larger image) It's just the latest maneuver in the ongoing Clone Wars between the Republic and the Separatist forces led by former Jedi turned Sith Lord Count Dooku (Christopher Lee). On another front, Master Yoda (voiced by Frank Oz) leads the Republic's clone troops against a droid attack on the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk. All this is in the first half of Episode III, which feels a lot like Episodes I and II. That means spectacular scenery, dazzling dogfights in space, a new fearsome villain (the CGI-created Grievous can't match up to either Darth Maul or the original Darth Vader, though), lightsaber duels, groan-worthy romantic dialogue, goofy humor (but at least it's left to the droids instead of Jar-Jar Binks), and hordes of faceless clone troopers fighting hordes of faceless battle droids. But then it all changes. Star Wars Time Line (click for larger image) After setting up characters and situations for the first two and a half movies, Episode III finally comes to life. The Sith Lord in hiding unleashes his long-simmering plot to take over the Republic, and an integral part of that plan is to turn Anakin away from the Jedi and toward the Dark Side of the Force. Unless you've been living under a rock the last 10 years, you know that Anakin will transform into the dreaded Darth Vader and face an ultimate showdown with his mentor, but that doesn't matter. In fact, a great part of the fun is knowing where things will wind up but finding out how they'll get there. The end of this prequel trilogy also should inspire fans to want to see the original movies again, but this time not out of frustration at the new ones. Rather, because Episode III is a beginning as well as an end, it will trigger fond memories as it ties up threads to the originals in tidy little ways. But best of all, it seems like for the first time we actually care about what happens and who it happens to. Episode III is easily the best of the new trilogy--OK, so that's not saying much, but it might even jockey for third place among the six Star Wars films. It's also the first one to be rated PG-13 for the intense battles and darker plot. It was probably impossible to live up to the decades' worth of pent-up hype George Lucas faced for the Star Wars prequel trilogy (and he tried to lower it with the first two movies), but Episode III makes us once again glad to be "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away." --David Horiuchi The Complete Star Wars Saga Episodes 4-6 Trilogy (widescreen) Episode I: The Phantom Menace Episde II: Attack of the Clones Star Wars: Clone Wars Vol. 1 Star Wars: Clone Wars Vol. 2 The Star Wars Store Stills from Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (click for larger images) Anakin When Wookiees attack Yoda, Jedi master Mr. and Mrs. Vader Saber training with Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen The cast

Titanic WWII adventure from Michael Bay stars Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett as friends who enlist in the Army Air Corps in early 1941 and Kate Beckinsale as a nurse who falls for Affleck. When Affleck is shot down while flying for the RAF in England, Beckinsale and Hartnett begin their own romance, but the trio is reunited at the U.S. military base in Hawaii on the eve of the infamous Japanese attack. With Cuba Gooding, Jr., Alec Baldwin, Jon Voight. 183 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, French Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: Spanish; "making of" featurettes; documentary; music video.

To call Pearl Harbor a throwback to old-time war movies is something of an understatement. Director Michael Bay's epic take on the bombing that brought the United States into World War II hijacks every war movie situation and cliché (some affectionate, some stale) you've ever seen and gives them a shiny, glossy spin until the whole movie practically gleams. Planes glisten, water sparkles, trees beckon--and Bay's re-creation of the bombing itself, a 30-minute sequence that's tightly choreographed and amazingly photographed, sets the action movie bar up quite a few notches. And in updating the classic war film, Bay and screenwriter Randall Wallace (Braveheart) use that old plot standby, the love triangle--this time, it's between two pilots (Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett) and a nurse (Kate Beckinsale) who find themselves stationed at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, during what they thought would be a nice, sunny tour of duty. Then, of course, history intervened. For the first 90 minutes of the movie, Affleck and Beckinsale find a nice, appealing chemistry that plays on his strengths as a movie star and hers as a serious actress--he gives her glamour, she gives him smarts. Their truncated romance--the beginning of which is told in flashback so we can get right to the point where he has to leave her to go to England--works, thanks to their charm. They're no Kate and Leo from Titanic (a strategy the film strives hard toward), but they're pretty darn adorable in their own right. Hartnett, as the not entirely unwelcome third wheel, squints bravely but makes only a slight dent in the film. Everyone else in Pearl Harbor--from Cuba Gooding Jr.'s brave navy seaman to Jon Voight's able impersonation of FDR--is pretty much a glorified walk-on, taking a backseat to the pyrotechnics and action sequences that keep the three-hour film in fairly constant motion. But when that action does take hold, Pearl Harbor is quite a thrilling ride. --Mark Englehart

Here are some more information for Bruce Lee:
Bruce Lee

Classical Karate Fighting Strategy is based on the concept of stalking. You simply focus on your opponent, wait for the opening, and then strike. This is an excellent tactic, but there are a few problems with it.

Number one, the guy who attacks you on the street is not going to stalk, he is going to pounce. The psychos on the street, you see, are crazy, they aren't capable of premeditated stalking, except in the most evil sense. Stalking on the mat is premeditated, and builds vast ability.

Number two, it makes the artist less than causative. If you are waiting, then you aren't causing things to happen, therefore you become a victim. This is not true on the higher levels of the combat disciplines, of course, but it is true on the lower levels of classical martial arts training.

When Bruce Lee was stalked on the mat he would immediately start dancing sideways, and this undid the stalking. The stalker could never keep his attention fixed on Bruce when he moved; he could never settle into the 'stalking mode.' And the idea here is obvious, you can't stalk somebody who knows you are stalking them.

Now, the terrible result of all this is that many schools stopped teaching or pursuing the stalking method of fighting. This tended to lower the level of all freestyle. People simply went to boxing, and left off the development of stalking, and never discovered the true benefits of the stalking method.

Now boxing is good clean fun, and it is good if you need quick self defense. I'm not going to argue with that concept. But boxing does not lead to the higher abilities that classical martial arts methods develop in the martial student.

I have never heard of Boxers developing their higher abilities, like reading minds, seeing what a person is going to do before the fact, and that type of thing. To the opposite, there are a lot of pugilists who suffer from cauliflower ears, speech impediments, and have cranial problems. This isn't always the result, but it does occur, and frequently enough that one should be careful.

So, I put it to you, do you want the quick fix of the slobberknocker, the science of pugilism, and a retarded adulthood, or do you want higher abilities. You know Bruce gave us so much, but in undoing the Stalking Method of Classical Karate Fighting Strategy there is another side. Probably the best solution would be to take what works from Bruce, and put it into the learning methods of traditional martial arts.

Having said all this, if you would like to find out how to have the hardest punch it is possible to have, mouse over to The Hardest Punch. It's the virtual bible of how to put power in a punch.

Jeet Kune Do - Bruce Lee Combat system and philosophy

Jeet Kune Do ( JKD ) is the name Bruce Lee gave to his combat system and philosophy in 1967. Originally, when Lee commenced researching diverse fighting styles, he gave his martial art his own name of Jun Fan Gung Fu. However not wanting to form another style that would share the constraints that all styles have, he instead gave us the method that made it.

JKD as it survives today - if one wants to view it "refined" as a product, not a process - is what was left at the time of Bruce Lee's death. It is the result of the life-long karate skills development process Lee went thru. Bruce Lee said that his idea isn't an "adding to" of more and more things on top of each other to form a system, but rather, a winnowing out. The metaphor Lee borrowed from Chan Buddhism was of constantly filling a cup with water, and then emptying it, used for describing Lee's philosophy of "casting off what's useless". He also used the sculptor's mind-set of starting with a pile of clay and hacking away at the "unessentials" ; the final result was what he considered to be the bare combat necessities, or JKD.

One of the ideas of JKD is that a fighter should do whatever is critical to protect himself, irrespective of where the systems come from. One of Lee's goals in Jeet Kune Do was to break down what he told were limiting factors in the coaching of the traditional styles, and seek a fighting thesis which he believed could only be found in the reality of a fight. Jeet Kune Do is at present seen as the genesis of the modern state of half-breed martial arts.

The idea of cross-training in Jeet Kune Do is like the practice of Mixed martial-arts ( MMA ) in modern times - Bruce Lee has been considered by UFC president Dana White as the "father of mixed martial arts". Many consider Jeet Kune Do to be the predecessor of MMA due to its syncretic nature. This is especially the case with regard the JKD "Combat Ranges". A JKD student is predicted to learn various combat systems within each combat range, and therefore to be effective in each one of them, just as in MMA.
