Watch an anime girl and her anime crew come to life with 3D technology.
The vocalist isn't a real girl and the sounds she makes are like a
techno dolphin calling its friends. We're not sure we recommend if you
don't already know Hatsune Miku and her brand of Japanese techno that's
like putting a talking robot in front of a fan. It's techno J-Pop with a
live band and digital vocalist with auto-tune set beyond high.

The Chinese wuxia (martial arts) picture was never the same after writer/director King Hu’s legendary and tremendously influential Dragon Inn.
During the Ming dynasty the emperor’s loyal minister of defense is
framed by a powerful court eunuch and executed, and his family is exiled
to the remote desert outpost Dragon Inn. Secretly, the eunuch orders
his top assassins to meet the children at Dragon Inn and kill them. Soon
after the eunuch’s men take over the inn, mysterious traveling
swordsman Xiao (Shih Chun) arrives and repeatedly outsmarts the
assassins, deflecting charging soldiers without bothering to stand up
from his dinner, often using an umbrella in place of a sword, dazzling
friend and foe alike with his disarming smile. Next to arrive are the
brother and sister (the sister masquerading as a boy, but a better
swordsman than her rash younger brother). Soon the stage is set for a
life-and-death struggle for justice and survival, showcasing swordplay,
arrows and martial arts. This thrilling milestone of film history
returns to the screen in a new, beautifully restored 4K digital
transfer, created from the original negative. (Fully subtitled)
