Bruce Lee - The Legend

One of Bruce Lee's more memorable scenes from 'Enter the Dragon'. Bruce Lee has been very influential on western and non-western audiences and generally the mainstream film industry. In my opinion without legends like Bruce Lee, martial art films would ave not made an impact on a Western audience.

World Cinema??

I'm still finding it quite difficult in what to actually focus on in the topic 'World Cinema'. Eventhough I am really interested in the topic I don't actually have a definition of what 'World Cinema' is. So from your opinion what do you think 'World Cinema' actually means?

Before that, in 2003 it had been chosen to be Brazil's runner for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film

Battle Royale & The Condemned

Batte Royale was also another hit in the mainstream film industry. The similar storyline has been used in 'The Condemned' which stars Stone Cold Steve Austin.



Doesn't the storyline for 'The Condemned' seem similar to the one of 'Battle Royale' or maybe its just a coincidence.
