One of the hottest movie releases this week is Ip Man, a story of a martial arts master. As the Kungfu master of Bruce Lee and the first to start teaching Wing Chun openly in the occupation period, Ip Man lived a turbulent life.

Respected as a patriot and a martial artist, he has fought Japanese officials under unfair circumstances and won. Playing the leading role is Donnie Yan the action star and produced under the critical eye of Ip's descendents, the film is a must-see for action fans.

The movie is available in Blu-ray disc format, 2 Disc DVD and standard DVD version. Aside from the movie, the original soundtrack is also available at Play-Asia.com.

After the movie of the week is the CD single of the week. One Drop, performed by Kat-Tun is the theme song for Kamenashi Kazuya's newest drama Kami no Shizuku. Energetic and fast paced, this piece features the band's youth and full potential.

The CD+DVD and the Limited Editions are all sold out, a true sign of how popular the band is.
