An Under-Appreciated Martial Arts Masterpiece Is on Its Way to Hulu

Though it might not be as famous as martial arts classics like Enter the Dragon or Ip Man, or even some of Jackie Chan’s films, Kung Fu Hustle from 2004 is a fantastic movie.

10 Years On, Harry Potter’s Most Important Update After the Books Is Getting a Major Change

Ten years ago, the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child first opened in London. J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, called it “the eighth story,” and it picks up right after the end of Deathly Hallows. The play follows Albus Severus Potter, Harry’s second son, during his first year at Hogwarts, and shows what’s happened with other favorite characters a decade later.

When it first launched in the UK, The Cursed Child was very long—it was performed in two parts with a long break in between—but that’s now being changed.

George Lucas generally supported this understanding of the Force, often describing the dark side as a destructive, parasitic force – almost like a cancer. He explained that Anakin brought balance back to the galaxy by destroying the Emperor and defeating the dark side, seeing the light side as representing life and the dark side as death. This balance, he believed, meant the light side should prevail to allow the universe to thrive. However, Lucas later seemed to change his perspective.
