Shot in Auck­land and put togeth­er in Miramar­wood, “The War­ri­or’s Way” is an NZ/South Korea/US East-West samurai-cow­boy green-screen action-fx tongue-in-cheek cheese-fest mash-up. While this fine Oscar-worthy fea­ture has unbe­liev­ably gone straight to DVD in NZ, fol­low­ing sold-out screen­ings at the Roxy last week­end (wrangled by its Wel­ling­ton edit­or Jonno Woodford‑Robinson) there are three more this week­end. Head over to The Roxy for more details, while I leave you with this from the Onion A.V. Club:

“The Warrior’s Way is eas­ily the best cir­cus-themed, mar­tial-arts-heavy action-com­edy oat­er of the year”

and for sound geeks, this back­ground from its sound design­er, Tim Preb­ble.
