    Jet li's HERO

    I guess since no one else wanted to release this movie here in the US, he probably "bought" the right to release it. It's a good movie, as good cinema-photography picture as "Crouching Tiger" movie ... Sword play is excellent too. You'd really need to understand a bit of Chinese martial arts...

    Sony SA-WM500 modifications - help!
