Starring an all-star cast with Jet Li (Hero, Forbidden Kingdom), Andy Lau (Infernal Affairs) and Takeshi Kaneshiro (House of Flying Daggers); this movie is set during the Qing Dynasty when Empress Dowager Cixi ruled the lands of China. The story is about a lost general meeting local bandits to rejoin the army to find greatness and glory. Among other things, a brotherhood is formed like the three muscatels except due to selfishness and drama; it all gets broken down. Betrayal, control, obsession. All characters are developed well and acted wonderfully. I cannot find much complaint.
The film is currently available on YouTube and here is the first part to get you started: Continue reading ‘The Warlords’

It was so insignificant that his over exaggerated agony of display of pain and then being carried off court is so much drama that no one on this side can deny. He was carried off the court by teammates and trainer to the entry hall then wheeled away in a wheel chair. He sat in the locker room for maybe 5 minutes and came back out.
Now that was an unbelievable return! Came back and made two threes which pretty much changed the tempo and final outcome of the game; especially with the arena’s fans intensity rising. I am sure Paul Pierce was in an insane amount of pain but was all that drama necessary? Was being carried off court necessary? Several blogs even noted that if indeed his knee was blown; wouldn’t being carried off cause more damage than good? Shouldn’t a wheel chair been immediately carted out?
