The CW’s fall 2023-2024 primetime schedule looks nothing like the network’s previous lineups. Gone are all the comic book-inspired superhero series, and in their place are British and Canadian imports along with unscripted reality shows.
All American is the only original The CW scripted series to appear on the upcoming season’s roster. Walker, which was recently renewed for a shorter season, will return midseason. And the network still hasn’t decided what to do about Gotham Knights, All American: Homecoming, or Superman & Lois.

Every time I watch a kung fu movie, I always find myself asking the same question:
"That's cool, but can they really kick ass in real life?"
While with some actors I remain unconvinced, I will never doubt Bruce Lee. The movement and speed this guy has is enough to snap your neck without the camera witnessing it! The footage below is taken from his documentary I Am Bruce Lee, and features Bruce demo-ing kung fu defense on a spectator. Even in a suit this guy has superhuman speed! Truly remarkable.

Chris Farley was a particular brand of comedian, a performer known for being big, loud, over the top and utterly fearless, willing to risk life and limb for the good of the bit. His rise to fame was meteoric: from Second City to "Saturday Night Live" to movie stardom in half the time it takes most others. In many ways, his life paralleled his career; rarely did Farley turn off his manic energy, and when he wasn’t going big on the stage, he was going big at a party, battling his addiction to food, alcohol, and several other substances. The new Spike TV documentary “I Am Chris Farley” aims to parse out the bottled lightning of Farley’s performances, but in paying tribute to his successes the film fails to recognize the man beneath the myth. Armed with interviews from a cadre of comedy legends and all the archive footage they could want,...

"The fatty falls down and everyone goes home happy!" jokes Chris Farley with a hint of sincere embarrassment, on The Late Show with David Letterman. This was true. No other Saturday Night Live (SNL) alum of that era - Mike Myers, Adam Sandler, David Spade, Rob Schneider - made me roll on the floor with laughter like Chris Farley. It was his childlike innocence, manic energy and great physical abandon that made him so magical.His drug overdose in 1997 came as no surprise to many, as the rumors of his drug and sex fueled escapades were widely publicized. I Am Chris Farley, directed by Brent Hodge (A Brony Tale) and Derik Murray (I Am Bruce Lee, I Am Evel Knievel) and co-produced by Kevin Farley, Chris's...

Before Midnight I haven't watched this yet, primarily because I want to sit down and watch all three -- Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight -- right in a row and I just haven't found the time. However, the best thing about this release is that we finally get special features. Until now, the only special feature on any of the previous Before films was a trailer, now we get a commentary track with Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, a "Revisiting Jesse and Celine" featurette and a Q&A with the trio. Now, if you don't own the two previous films, but are preferring to wait until they too come available on Blu-ray, the best option is probably to buy the Before Sunrise / Before Sunset double feature at Amazon, which costs only $10.78. Not a lot of money to make sure you at least have both on hand whenever you need them.

Pete McCormack’s documentary I Am Bruce Lee chronicles martial arts legend Bruce Lee life from a troubled youth spent street fighting in Hong Kong to his departure to the United States where he got his first taste of fame that grew in the years that followed. Through it all he devoted himself to martial arts as a form of self-expression, and in so doing he crossed the paths of many fighting legends like Chuck Norris and Gene LeBell and influenced countless others including Gina Carano, Manny Pacquiao, and more. As a documentary, I Am Bruce Lee benefits from numerous family, friends, and acquaintances with anecdotes to share, and frankly, it would have been a wholly enjoyable 94 minutes had it stuck to that. Unfortunately it also gives people like Dana White opportunities to say some really stupid things and features questionable editing and interview footage of people with very little to say.

Did one fight film appropriate scenes from another? Chris Tavlarides, the producer of a TV documentary entitled The Good Son: The Life of Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini has filed an unusual lawsuit against Spike Cable Networks over its film, I Am Bruce Lee. According to a complaint filed this week in California federal court, he made a deal in 2010 with Network Entertainment Inc. to film a documentary based on a book by Mark Kriegel about the career of a boxing legend.

Tell us about the best films involving running, knocking a ball around, racing a bobsled, perfecting a crane kick, and all that other sporting business
With large tranches of the population currently gripped by Olympic-fever, what better time to celebrate the best sports films?
When one goes to see a film about sporting achievements, it's not hard to guess how the plot's going to pan out. There will usually be a plucky underdog, and various adversities for them to overcome before triumphing against the odds in the final reel.
That's not to say any old idiot could knock together a sports movie – some are good, a few are truly excellent, and very, very many of them are terrible. But which, for you, are the best, and why? Let us know in the thread below.
We're also keen to hear about new films you've been watching. Here's what some @guardianfilm followers...

When Bruce Lee died suddenly in 1973, he left his fans across the world wanting more – both of his ridiculously athletic exploits on screen, and of his far calmer, more reflective thoughts and philosophies.
Bruce Lee brought his martial arts skills to the big screen
Shannon Lee, Bruce’s daughter who was only four when he died, is used to sharing her father’s legacy with his thousands of fans – “I feel very generous about it - it’s amazing how many people he touched, inspired to go after things.”
Now she has joined with her mother, Bruce’s widow Linda, to help make what they hope is the definitive documentary exploring the appeal of the world’s first and, arguably, to this day only, Asian superstar.

The Dark Knight Rises (12A)
(Christopher Nolan, 2012, Us/UK) Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Gary Oldman, Marion Cotillard, Michael Caine. 164 mins
As big and dark and serious as The Avengers was big and light and fun, the climax to Nolan's Batman trilogy ticks most of the boxes it was demanded to – which is quite an achievement. There's an Occupy-style theme to baddy Bane's Gotham City lockdown, which forces Bruce Wayne to consider his 1% financial status and Batman to revive his punching and growling skills (prompted by Hathaway's slinky cat burglar). Some cheesy cliches (and questionable politics) are needed to tie it all together, but it's still the solid, epic finale you'd hoped for.

Shannon Lee, daughter of the martial arts master, shares memories of her inspirational father
Shannon Lee grins and apologises for the mess. We're at the Los Angeles offices of Bruce Lee Enterprises. They've just moved in and an archipelago of merchandise is strewn across the floor. The company logo depicts a silhouette of the martial arts master in mid-flight, an inverted E of kinetic majesty. A poster shows Lee crouching, nunchucks stowed beneath his armpits. Devotees would feel at home here.
As company CEO, his 43-year-old daughter is the official keeper of the legacy. She assumed the mantle several years ago from her mother, Bruce Lee's widow Linda Lee Cadwell, who had met the young martial artist while he studied philosophy at university in Washington state in the 1960s. Both Lee and her mother are contributors to I Am Bruce Lee, a new documentary by Peter McCormack.

★★★☆☆ "My obsession is to make, pardon the expression, the fuckingest action movie ever." With the recent release of Gareth Evans action film The Raid (2011), which many have described in similar terms to those above, it seems only appropriate that the world takes a look back at the man who influenced all martial arts movies in the new documentary I Am Bruce Lee (2011).

With the new documentary I Am Bruce Lee about to hit theaters, WhatCulture felt it was as good a time as any to recall Bruce Lee’s 10 Most Memorable On-Screen Moments:
10. Bruce vs James Garner’s Office (Marlowe)
One of Bruce’s celebrity students was screenwriter Sterling Silliphant. Silliphant, who won an Oscar for In the Heat of the Night, became good friends with Bruce and wrote a part for him in the 1969 film Marlowe.
Bruce plays a heavy sent to warn private investigator Phillip Marlowe (James Garner) off a case. Bruce does this by demolishing the guy’s office with a flurry of kicks and chops, and a flying kick that takes out an overhead light. This scene was Bruce’s first appearance in a feature-length Hollywood picture.
9. One on One Against The Boy Wonder (Batman)

When documentary filmmaker Pete McCormack last focused his camera lens on the life of a man who used his physical prowess and gift for gab to transcend athleticism, break down social barriers and become an icon, his subject was "The Greatest" boxer, Muhammad Ali. In his follow-up to Facing Ali, McCormack's subject is martial arts pioneer, physical fitness advocate and movie legend Bruce Lee, who was voted one of the most important people of the 20th Century in Time Magazine's Time 100.
Scheduled for a limited theatrical release on February 9th, I Am Bruce Lee, explores Lee's life and philosophy, with commentary from such notable celebrities as actor Mickey Rourke (Immortals), Mma fighter-turned-actress Gina Carano (Haywire), the L.A. Lakers' Kobe Bryant, Wbo Welterweight Champion Manny Pacquiao and Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas.

Pete McCormack (Facing Ali) has made a new documentary about the late Bruce Lee; the film will have a limited run starting February 9. I Am Bruce Lee features clips from Lee’s films and interviews, the movie also has a showcase of celebrities sharing admiration for the legend, a little late to that bandwagon guys. I don’t know what that would add to a decent documentary about Bruce Lee, I guess it might appeal to today’s youth? They all love Ed O’Neill.

When it comes to the world of martial arts films (and martial arts a whole), you don’t get more famous or more legendary than Bruce Lee. Yes, there have been others that have reached his level of popularity in the years since his premature death in 1973 (Jackie Chan and Jet Li, to name a couple), but while they have been good in their own right they have never been able to replicate the intense style and the machismo that were integral to the Lee persona. In essence, they have all been pretenders to the throne.
I Am Bruce Lee, the upcoming documentary from Pete McCormack, seems to want to not only prove that very point but to help reintroduce the legendary martial artist to a whole new generation. A trailer for the movie has been released, which you can view below or in HD over at Apple.

Documentary filmmaker Pete McCormack (Facing Ali) has made a new doc about the late martial arts legend Bruce Lee, which will show up in a limited theatrical engagement starting February 9. The film, I Am Bruce Lee, features clips from Lee's films and his few filmed interviews, and is bolstered by a host of celebrity Bruce Lee admirers. Check out a trailer for the doc below. The interview clips seen in this trailer are from Lee's long interview filmed in 1971 for an appearance on the Pierre Berton Show. You can watch that interview in its entirety below, though I imagine most Lee fans have seen it already. That "baby, here I am, man" kicker quote in the trailer is actually Lee talking about Steve McQueen's attitude in that interview, not a statement representing Lee himself. And while the celebrity soundbites seen in the trailer are fun, I'm not sure what...

Here's an awesome new trailer for a upcoming documentary called I Am Bruce Lee. There's already a good amount of Bruce Lee documentaries that have been made over the years, but this one looks pretty badass. The movie was directed by Pete McCormack, and includes a ton of footage of Lee as well as several interviews with different celebrities including Mickey Rourke, Ed O'Neill, Manny Pacquiao, Gina Carano, and Kobe Bryant. I'm a huge fan of Bruce Lee, and I already watch the same old docs about him over and over again, so it will be great to see a new one. The movie will get a limited theatrical release on February 9th, 2012. Check out the trailer for the film below and tell us what you think!

"Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water." There can never be enough Bruce Lee, in movies especially. And now someone has made an entire documentary about his legacy and his spirit. It's titled simply, I Am Bruce Lee, directed by Pete McCormack, and features a whole hell of a lot of celebrities, including Mickey Rourke, Ed O'Neill, Manny Pacquiao, Black Eyed Peas' Taboo, Haywire's Gina Carano and yes, even Kobe Bryant himself pops up in here. This looks like a kick ass doc for a martial arts legend, just exploring who he was and why he was such a legend, but we already know the reasons anyway. Check it out! Watch the official trailer for Pete McCormack's doc I Am Bruce Lee, found via TheMovieBox: Bruce Lee is universally recognized as the pioneer who elevated martial arts in film to an art form, and this doc...
