    Ip Man
    7.5/10
    I'm not a fan of martial arts films in general and I struggle to think of other examples except the karate kid. I do remember Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon which was well received by everybody except myself. This one, however, is very good at what it does.

    Also, lol at the epilogue: (very minor spoiler)
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    ...in 1945 China won the war against Japan...

    Downfall

    Got myself a free month of Netflix so I got about to watching the movies I always meant to see. Watched Downfall first, very good, very enjoyable movie. Really liked how they spoke in German, that was a very nice touch.

    We don't have netfix at all here you are lucky. But you will probably watch it multiple times because the animation is so great. Get it on DVD or usb

    Burn After Reading - Coen brothers, big league cast, bush league story. This ain't no Fargo.

    End of Watch

    I thought it was pretty good, I felt it went very quickly, but in the end it felt somewhat empty, like a "thats it?" at the end. Maybe its a story of brotherhood, but I didnt feel that.
