Wow. This is now one of my favorite films. One thing that I love about martial arts movies is all the moments of “Oh my god!!! How did he do that?!!!” that you get when watching someone truly exceptional do amazing things with their body. Tony Jaa is awesome. I had the same type of [...]

So with the holiday of lurve coming up soon, I’m going to write a bit about some of the more romancey titles I’ve read recently. Awwwww….
I was hoping that the second volume of Land of the Blindfolded from cmx (amazon) would be a bit stronger than the first, and I wasn’t disappointed. The first volume [...]
