I’d heard about The Boxer’s Omen for years but hadn’t watched it until recently. The movie opens in a way that makes you think it will be a version of Kickboxer, but that becomes a side story to the main event: a monk battling a black magic sorcerer. It’s a Shaw Brothers movie with the martial arts you would expect, but it also includes gross-out special effects and bat finger puppets. If that sounds interesting, don’t watch the trailer below and go in as cold as possible.
Sure, here is the revised text:
This documentary is perfect for book lovers. It features Robert Gottlieb, an influential editor who shaped American literature in the 20th century. He gained renown for editing Catch-22 and later The New Yorker. Robert Caro is known for his extensive biography of Lyndon Johnson, which also examines American political power. The documentary explores their fifty-year collaboration.
I don’t know much about the Meridian Brothers, but I’m enjoying their new album, a fusion of African and Latin music. One of their latest videos is below.
