"Brokeback Mountain" - A Love Story of Our Time
by
Rachael Rizzo
Not often are homosexual relationships portrayed honestly in film. On one hand you have the director who wants to shove it in your face; on the other hand you have the director who wants to avoid any physical interaction so as not to offend his audience. Then there is Ang Lee.

by
Bryan B Hsuan
This article is a review of the movie X-Men: First Class, which is a 2011 American superhero film directed by Matthew Vaughn and produced by Bryan Singer, based on the X-Men characters appearing in Marvel Comics. The fifth installment in the X-Men series, the film acts as a prequel for the X-Men trilogy, being set primarily in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It focuses on the relationship between Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr (Magneto), and the origin of their groups-the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants, respectively. The film stars James McAvoy as Xavier and Michael Fassbender as Lensherr. Other cast members include Kevin Bacon, January Jones, Rose Byrne, Jennifer Lawrence, Zoe Kravitz, Nicholas Hoult and Lucas Till. Announced in 2006, First Class entered production in August 2010 and finished in December, with additional photography taking up up to three weeks before the film's premiere in June 2011. Locations included Oxford, the Mojave desert and Georgia, with soundstage work in both Pinewood Studios and the 20th Century Fox stages in Los Angeles. The film received positive reviews and was a box-office success with earnings of $353 million worldwide.

Brokeback Mountain Challenges Culture and Hollywood
by
Mark Nash
The first tremors that Brokeback Mountain was coming out of the celloid closet began in late January 2006, as the film went into major distribution nationwide. After a slow roll-out and strong word of mouth, many people who thought they would never vote for two men kissing as MTV's hottest kiss did witness the idea of two people in love who just happened to be of the same gender.

Taekwondo Pioneers: Haeng Ung Lee
by
Craig Willits
October 5, 2010, was the tenth anniversary of the passing of Haeng Ung Lee (1936-2000), founder of the American Taekwondo Association. In keeping with the Korean tradition of gije (annual memorial for family members who have passed on), we take time to remember an extraordinary man with an extraordinary vision.

This film has Terry Gilliam's fingerprints all over it, especially those of the Gilliam who made Twelve Monkeys (1995). But, here, the closest we get to Brad Pitt's rambling genius is Michelle Monaghan in an adorable outfit. Better, though, is the lead performance from Jake Gyllenhaal, who has grown to have an incredibly commanding screen presence. From back in the days of Donnie Darko (2001) up until now, he's steadily been growing on me as an actor. Then, when Brokeback Mountain (2005) came around, it all just clicked and I became one of those "insta-fans," never looking back. Donnie Darko still sucks, but at least the guy is watchable now.

A Martial Artist's View of The Film: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"
by
Dr. Gary S. Goodman
Director Ang Lee is the only person to win Best Director Oscars for a foreign and domestic film and you might think that these two films are, literally and figuratively, worlds apart. But they have some profound similarities. Specifically, they're love stories set against a backdrop of individual and social angst, says reviewer Dr. Gary S. Goodman, President, best-selling author, international keynote speaker, and Black Belt in Kenpo Karate.
