'Blades Of The Guardians' Review - Yuen Woo-Ping's 60-Year Convergence Of Martial Arts Film History This is what martial arts diehards have been waiting to see, and from a master entering his 80s, that is no small feat.

Woo-Ping brings the fucking fire with the first film he's made officially in his 80s, BLADES OF THE GUARDIANS.

Theatrical attendance recommended!

If it is one thing that Joe loves, it's a sweaty-ass movie and if The Treasure of Sierra Madre doesn't fit that bill, we don't know what does. So, if you're in the Tri-State Area, come out on 3/7 to the Oaks Cinema Center to see John Huston's MASTERPIECE on 16mm!! Details below!

life is but a dream - a d.k. lawhorn short film
YouTube video by D.K. Lawhorn life is but a dream - a d.k. lawhorn short film

David Lynch’s passing hurt me deeply last year. So I did exactly what he would do with those feelings, I made a movie. This is that movie. My homage to Lynch and the art he put out into the world. Dream on, David.

Have you seen SEE YOU ON THE BEACH? It's the "proof of concept" short we shot for CUT TO RED. We put it up a couple of days ago along with a fundraiser and I'm proud to say we've raised half the budget for the movie in 2 days. The movie and fundraiser are both up at our website: www.cuttored.com
