The Warlords

Directed by: Peter Ho-Sun Chan
Starring: Jet Li, Andy Lau, and Takeshi Kaneshiro.

Set in the midst of war and political upheaval during the Taiping Rebellion of the 1860s, The Warlords stars Jet Li as General Pang, who barely survives a brutal massacre of his fellow soldiers by playing dead, and joins a band of bandits led by Er Hu (Andy Lau) and Wu Yang (Takeshi Kaneshiro). After fighting back attackers from an helpless village, the three men take an oath to become “blood brothers,” pledging loyalty to one another until death, but things quickly turn sour and the three men become embroiled in a web of political deceit, and a love triangle between Pang, Er Hu and a beautiful courtesan (Wu Jing-Lei).

The Good Heart

Written and Directed by: Dagur Kári
Starring: Brian Cox and Paul Dano.

Brian Cox stars as Jacques, the curmudgeonly owner of a gritty New York dive bar that serves as home to a motley assortment of professional drinkers. Jacques is determinedly drinking and smoking himself to death when he meets Lucas (Dano), a homeless young man who has already given up on life. Determined to keep his legacy alive, Jacques deems Lucas is a fitting heir and takes him under his wing, schooling him in the male-centric laws of his alcoholic clubhouse: no new customers, no fraternizing with customers and, absolutely no women. Lucas is a quick study, but their friendship is put to the test when the distraught and beautiful April (Isild Le Besco) shows up at the bar seeking shelter, and Lucas insists they help her out.

The Good Heart is available on demand from your cable or satellite provider starting April 2nd. Don’t miss the HDNet Movies Sneak Preview Wednesday, April 28th at 8 PM ET, followed by encores at 9:45 and 11:30 PM.

Directed, Story, Screenplay: "Tony Jaa" Panom Yeerum, Panna Rittikrai
Starring: Tony Jaa, Dan Chupong, and Primrata Dej-Udon.

Martial arts legend Tony Jaa writes, directs, produces and stars in Ong Bak 3, the third and final installment in one of the most beloved action series of all time. Picking up at the cliffhanger ending where Ong Bak 2 leaves off, Jaa ramps up the epic supernatural elements of the previous film, while still maintaining the trademark bone-crunching action that the series is known for. This time he must face his ultimate enemy: a fierce supernatural warrior named "Demon Crow," played by fellow martial arts sensation Dan Chupong. Eagerly anticipated by martial arts aficionados for some time, the matchup of Jaa and Chupong is explosive.

See it before it's in theatres. Ong Bak 3 premieres On Demand Friday December 3rd. And don't miss the HDNet Movies Sneak Preview on Wednesday, January 12th.
