Bruce Lee, We Miss You $7.09 The date of July 20, 1973 will go down in infamy as the end of the most gifted martial arts fighter in cinema history. Officially, coroners first attributed Bruce Lee’s death to cerebral edema, and later to sudden death from epilepsy. But insiders whispered differently – with talk of triad godfathers who conspired to murder Lee. Now, in the tradition of Who Killed Pasolini and I Shot Jesse James comes the action-packed feature film Bruce Lee, We Miss You – in which Bruce Li plays a gumshoe seeking answers for the decades-old mystery behind Lee’s demise. The ruthless Li infiltrates his way into the Chinese underworld, determined to punch, kick, and kiai his way to the truth masked by the autopsy report, and discover who rubbed Lee out, and why. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi |

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story $10.23 The brief but eventful life of actor and martial arts trailblazer Bruce Lee is portrayed in this drama, based on a biography written by his widow Linda Lee Caldwell. Lee is introduced to the study of martial arts as a child living in Hong Kong by his father (Ric Young); the father dreamed that a demonic armored dragon would take his son from him, and wanted young Bruce to be able to protect himself. Bruce continues his training as he grows to adulthood, and after the cocky teenaged Lee (Jason Scott Lee, no relation to Bruce) seriously injures a prominent British citizen while fighting a gang of troublemakers at a dance, he’s sent to San Francisco. While working as a dishwasher, Bruce begins to study philosophy, and in time develops a personal martial arts discipline, Jeet Kune-Do, which blends Kung Fu fighting techniques with lessons gained from his philosophical research. Bruce decides to open a martial arts academy on the advice of his fiancée Linda (Lauren Holly); Linda and Bruce encounter resistance as a mixed-race couple, especially from Linda’s mother Vivian (Michael Learned), and Bruce earns the enmity of traditional Chinese martial arts experts for his new style. But after a strong showing in several public tournaments, Bruce’s fighting skill and charisma attracts the attention of TV producer Bill Krieger (Robert Wagner). Bruce is cast as Kato, the karate-trained sidekick on the series The Green Hornet, and while the show is short-lived in America, it’s a huge success in Asia, leading to a series of films based around Bruce’s remarkable fighting skills. Sadly, shortly before the release of the film that would make him a major screen star in the United States, Enter The Dragon, a mysterious brain disorder sends Lee into a coma that soon kills him. In a tragedy with eerie timing, Bruce Lee’s real-life son Brandon Lee died shortly before this film was released, the result of an accidental shooting while completing the picture The Crow. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi |

Extreme Chan-Action Gift Pack 3pk (Mr. Nice Guy, Rumble In the Bronx, First Strike) $14.54 Jackie Chan finally conquered America with Rumble in the Bronx (1995). With his disarming smile and feline physicality, the compact Chan radiates star quality. But there’s more to him than charisma: at his best, the actor combines the relentlessly escalating, hyperkinetic action set-pieces for which Hong Kong is famous; the rigorous martial arts training of his idol, Bruce Lee; and the grace and daring that distinguish Buster Keaton’s physical comedy. Not that it matters, really, but the plot of Rumble in the Bronx has something to do with Chan helping the woman who has taken over his uncle’s neighborhood market when she is harassed by local hoodlums. What really matters is Chan, and he’s in fine form. Chan does his best James Bond impression with First Strike (1996), an ecstatic sequel to the classic Supercop. The bare-bones plot has him in pursuit of international terrorists, but the narrative quickly gives way to an unceasing barrage of insane stunt work (including a nitro-fueled ski chase and a grandiose fight scene set inside a functioning shark tank). As with most of the aging star’s recent films, there is more of an emphasis placed on big, impersonal (albeit impressive) stunts rather than the close-up combat that made him famous; but the end result is still a must-see rush for longtime fans, and a great introduction for newcomers eager to see what all the well-deserved fuss is about. In Mr. Nice Guy (1997), Chan is involuntarily involved in a gang war between stereotypical Italians and punkers right out of A Clockwork Orange. Most of the cast is in a coma, and the plot is stupid, stupid, stupid. The reason to watch this is for Chan’s gravity-defying stunts as he is chased through the streets of Melbourne by Aussie thugs trying to relocate missing cocaine. Watch for a stunt involving a horse-drawn carriage, as it almost compensates for the lackluster story line. |

Steel-town U.S.A.: Work and Memory in Youngstown $51 Once the symbol of a robust steel industry and blue-collar economy, Youngstown, Ohio, and its famous Jeannette Blast Furnace have become key icons in the tragic tale of American deindustrialization. Sherry Lee Linkon and John Russo examine the inevitable tension between those discordant visions, which continue to exert great power over Steeltown’s citizens as they struggle to redefine their lives.When the Jenny was shut down in 1978, 50,000 Youngstown workers lost their jobs, cutting the heart out of the local economy. Even as the community organized a nationally recognized effort to save the mills, the city was rocked by economic devastation, runaway crime, and mob scandal, problems that persist twenty-five years later. In the midst of these struggles the Jenny remained standing as a proud symbol of the community’s glory days, still a dominant force in the construction of both individual and collective identities in Youngstown.Focusing on stories and images that both reflect and perpetuate how Youngstown understands itself as a community, Sherry Lee Linkon and John Russo have forged a historical and cultural study of the relationship between community, memory, work, and conflict. Drawing on written texts, visual images, sculptures, films, songs, and interviews with people who have lived and worked in Youngstown, the authors show the importance of memory in forming the collective identity of a place.Steeltown U.S.A. is a richly developed portrait, showing how images of the Jenny and of Youngstown have been used in national media and connecting these representations to the broader public conversation about work and place. Bruce Springsteen’s song Youngstown, the book Journeyto Nowhere, and other pop culture artifacts have helped make Youngstown the symbolic epicenter of American deindustrialization.

The Perfection of Life : A Journey into Neolithic Mind $2.99 Nothing was ever good enough for me. Every class I took, or job I tried always seemed to fall short of my expectations. With each change of tide I would look back at my meager achievements and say to myself, “Well, time to start a new chapter.” That was the funny thing about my life in general, everything always seemed to be occurring in distinct, well laid out chapters. As if I was living some playwrights’ script he had whipped up before my birth. Some will say that mastering yourself, or life, for that matter, is exceedingly impossible and should not be attempted. But, there are those who have made it their lifelong work to do so. Albert Einstein spent his entire life looking for a unifying theory of everything. Bruce Lee spent his time on Earth looking for the answer to perfect harmony. Jesus of Nazareth gave life long dedication to bringing world peace, as did Mother Teresa and many others. At a very young age I set out on a journey…. A journey for The Perfection of Life. |

Things I’ve Said, but Probably Shouldn’t Have: An Unrepentant Memoir $24.95 Things I’ve Said, But Probably Shouldn’t HaveHe is one of Hollywood’s hardest-working actors and most outrageous personalities. His career has run the gamut from B movies to Z movies to becoming an Oscar nominee and has included some of the most indelible performances in modern cinema. He has worked with practically every iconic actor and director in the last fifty years—and he’s not afraid to say what he thinks about all of them.Now Bruce Dern tells all in Things I’ve Said, but Probably Shouldn’t Have. In this uniquely entertaining memoir, he looks back over his amazing life and career, including his unforgettable work in Silent Running, Family Plot, Coming Home, Monster, and other films. He holds nothing back as he writes about working with Lee Strasberg, Elia Kazan, Alfred Hitchcock, John Frankenheimer, Claude Chabrol, Jack Nicholson, Paul Newman, Bob Dylan, Matt Damon, Charlize Theron, Jane Fonda, John Wayne, and many more. He reveals why he wasn’t interested in potentially career-making roles in The Godfather and Gandhi, and why, after he was already famous, he agreed to star in The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant, the second best two-headed transplant movie of 1971.You’ll also find out why he became estranged from his prestigious family over a typo in the New York Times and learn about his experiences as father and mentor to actress Laura Dern. Along the way, he gives key insights into how placing artistic challenge over career development has kept one of Hollywood’s greatest actors from also being one of its most rich and famous. He also talks about the single best moment he’s ever had in a movie in his career—and why he would not make that film today.Sometimes moving, sometimes hilarious, Things I’ve Said, but Probably Shouldn’t Have is a wild ride as compelling as the many roles Bruce Dern has played in his long and adventurous run on stage and on screen. |
