Let's face it. Each one of us probably has an evil streak lurking within us, much as we may try to mask it. Perhaps that is why many are so fascinated with the murder genre that allows them to understand characters, solve puzzles or mysteries with much thrill and action. At the end of a tale, justice is served after the mystery is solved. However, in Malaysia, true life drama has a different turn when...

He’s known for being the martial arts choreographer of 'The Matrix' films, the Oscar-winning Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon , and the 'Kill Bill' flicks, but Yuen Woo-Ping has also had quite the accomplished directorial career.

The Younger Son and I were on our own tonight, so we decided to watch a movie while we ate some drive-through burgers. He picked Kill Bill: vol. 1 (2003) , which we were pretty sure would not be watchable for The Husband. I had bought both movies soon after the sad death of David Carradine , who plays the titular "Bill" . Uma Thurman plays the woman out to kill Bill. Quentin Tarantino directs....
