While hawking wares at the Great Allentown Comic Con, I was pleasantly accosted by Matt Kaplowitz, who kicks and screams over at thefightnerd.com. He was kind enough to buy a copy of the Films of Fury DVD, kinder to review it, and kindest to give it a thumb’s up. You can read for yourself at:

The San Diego Comic Con Superhero Kung Fu Extravaganza has been great every year, but this 15th anniversary year was even more special, because it was great for several new reasons.

One of the great experiences of my life, in or out of comic cons and film fests, was when I was invited to participate on “The Art of Fight Direction” panel at 2011′s ActionFest in Asheville, North Carolina. There I got to share the stage (or, to be more accurate, the floor) with Michael Jai

Hey, remember when I posted about my trip to Bonnie Scotland to appear as two different villains in two different movies? Well, one of them is now available (exclamation point optional). That would be The Suppressor, Ara Paiaya’s super cool kung fu action thriller with whole delicious chunks of John Woo, Sammo Hung, Chow Yun-fat,

Hey all. Just got back from the San Diego Comic Con and publicity for my film and books in LA. Until I get bloganized, here’s a couple of clips to stun, amaze, and frighten you. http://theinsatiablecritic.blogspot.com/2011/07/video-interview-with-kung-fu-film.html
I only called it that because I was only there to play villains in two movies, and it’s the best play-on-words I could come up with on short notice. As mentioned in a previous sitepost (The Scottish Plays…I Mean Movies), I had been invited to Aberdeen – the oil capitol of the UK – by
