Ip Man (R)
When the going gets tough, martial arts masters get even tougher-- at least, they do if they’re the greatest kung fu guru of their generation. Ip Man is based on the real-life story of Wing Chun, who inspired a nation and became the mentor to Bruce Lee. Chun rose form the ashes of the second war between Japan and China, amid oppression, hard labor and sparring matches that were forced upon him for the enemy’s fun. But when he’s challenged to enter the toughest fight of his life, he’s suddenly in the spotlight with only his sense of spirit (and seriously hard-core martial arts skills). (Donnie Yen Ip Man, Simon Yam Zhou Qing Quan)
Repo Men (R)
In the not-too-distant future, artificial organs can be bought and sold, but not everyone has the cash to pay up. With a pair of bad-ass besties leading the repossession pack for the organ company, business is booming -- and buyers are always on edge, fearing when the repo men will arrive to slice them open and take back their parts. But when one of the friends (Jude Law) becomes a victim of his own dirty work, he suddenly sees the seamy underside of his dirty work, and goes on the run with hot girl, a fake heart and all the fighting power he can muster. (Jude Law Remy, Forest Whitaker Jake)
