Trainer Yip Man with Bruce Lee
When Bruce Lee began teaching Hollywood actors his brand of the martial art Jeet Kune Do there was no way he could have predicted that it would still be a popular form of training today.
And yet, it is.
Sarah wrote about the martial arts form’s continued relevance in a piece for Asian World Of Martial Arts.

Loving
One of the best movies Sarah saw at TIFF 2016 was the interracial relationship drama, Loving.
The film was a “thoughtful exploration of civil rights abuse” which follows Loving v Virginia, the United States Supreme Court decision that struck down the state’s anti-miscegenation laws.
Sarah wrote about the film for Consequence Of Sound.

Mascots
Christopher Guest, the master of the mockumentary, has released a new film covering the world of competitive mascotting called, coincidentally, Mascots.
The film will break little new ground for anyone familiar with the likes of Best In Show and A Mighty Wind. But what it does showcase is a master at his craft once again creating something solidly entertaining.
Sarah reviewed the film for Consequence Of Sound.

Free Fire
One of Sarah’s favourite directors is Ben Wheatley.
Because of this she made a point to see his new film Free Fire when it played at TIFF 2016.
Though not the knock out that High Rise was, the film displayed Wheatley’s “level of commitment, craftsmanship, and reliability.”

Salt And Fire
One of the more confounding films Sarah saw at the Toronto International Film Festival this year was Werner Herzog’s maybe environmental kidnap drama Salt And Fire.
Says Sarah, “Fans of his unique style and humor will find much to enjoy in Salt and Fire, even if the film does lack some proper cohesion.”
