  • Overview

    Have you ever done a handstand... on the tips of your index fingers? How about snapping iron bars over your head as if they were bread-sticks? You'll witness these amazing feats and much more in this astonishing London performance of China's legendary Shaolin monks. In perfecting their martial arts prowess, these devoted Buddhists have honed their physical and mental disciplines to such an uncommon degree that their movements seem almost supernaturally powerful. From the athletic contortions of a young acolyte to an older monk being hoisted aloft on the points of sharpened spears, these men and boys have conquered and crossed boundaries of control that would strike most outsiders as impossible if it weren't for their living proof. In demonstrating these and other kung fu skills, the Shaolin also enact their history as an enduring order, providing a theatrical narrative that's literally breathtaking.

Wes Craven's 2005 werewolf film Cursed had all the makings of a horror comedy classic on paper: A zany LA werewolf premise, hip early 2000s leads like Christina Ricci, Skeet Ulrich, and Jesse Eisenberg, and the Craven/Kevin Williamson partnership that had previously birthed the Scream franchise. But Cursed would not become a classic. Instead, it would go down in history as one of the most troubled film productions of the 21st century. How and why did this happen? Is the resulting movie any good? Do Jesse Eisenberg and Milo Ventimiglia kiss in it? Find out the answers to all of these questions and more in my CURSED deep dive into CURSED.
