Although it plays fast and loose with the facts, the 1993 Hollywood biopic Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story is an enjoyable watch. Directed by Rob Cohen, an established mainstream filmmaker who was neither an action specialist nor particularly familiar with martial arts films, Dragon takes the spirit of Linda Lee Cadwell’s 1989 update of her book Bruce Lee: The Man Only I Knew , and recasts Lee’s story as a typical 1990s Hollywood romantic drama. The Lee of Dragon , played by Chinese-Hawaiian actor Jason Scott Lee, is a cheerfully optimistic outsider who battles against the odds to establish himself in the United States with the unfaltering help of his loyal American wife (played by Lauren Holly). The martial arts scenes, choreographed by Hongkonger John Cheung Ng-long, are edited in the choppier American style, but are still exciting. The film’s unswerving depiction of racism, often shown in the treatment Lee receives from Cadwell’s mother, Vivian Emery – who said the ... » Learn More about Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story is as much Hollywood romantic drama as action movie

With the rising popularity of food delivery service platforms, the endless options available at a mere tap on our smartphone are leaving us spoilt for choice. But with so many choices comes the hardest part – deciding which options are to our taste. A chance discovery led to JomRisto, a restaurant offering comfort food that caters to Malaysian taste buds.

One dish that will leave an impression is the Nasi Lemak Daging Rendang.

Wilbert Tedja, 31, did not plan on going into the cinnamon roll business. The former banker, who spent six months planning a franchise in Indonesia, had to put his plans on hold after Covid-19 crept onto our shores. "The quarantine requirements kicked in just two days before the franchisor team were supposed to fly into Indonesia to give the final go-ahead to open the restaurant," Teja said. "Given the requirements we had to adhere to, it had made it operationally difficult for travelling, and thus we had to put the opening of this new restaurant on hold." "It was disappointing that everything had to come to a standstill just as we were geared up and ready to welcome this new business. I had to accept that Covid-19 was that serious and the restaurant opening would not be happening soon given the lockdown happening worldwide." With no job and no way to open his restaurant abroad, Tedja set his sights on Singapore, where he was born and raised.

Not considered a supreme Van Gogh masterpiece, it still went for $15.4 million. PARIS - One of the few paintings by Vincent Van Gogh still in private hands, "Street Scene in Montmartre", was sold for over 13 million euros Thursday at auction after going on public display for the first time this week, Sotheby's said. The painting -- which emerged after a century spent in the same collection and has not been exhibited in public since it was painted in 1887 -- fetched 13.091 million euros ($15.414 million), Sotheby's said. Reaching well above the estimate of 5-8 million euros, Sotheby's said the sale price was a record for the artist in France. The sale of the painting was the highlight of an auction of 33 works from masters including Degas, Magritte, Modigliani, Klee, Rodin and his muse Camille Claudel sold in an auction live-streamed by Sotheby's in Paris. The painting was reoffered at the end of the sale in Paris after the auction house scrapped its initial sale earlier in ... » Learn More about Rarely seen Paris Van Gogh sells for over 13 mn euros

Qantas Airways Ltd said on Thursday it would operate a seven-hour scenic flight over Australia next month, adding to a growing trend in Asia of "flights to nowhere" that take off and land at the same airport. Tough border restrictions to keep the coronavirus under control have led to a 97.5 percent plunge in international travel in the region, according to the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines. Many frequent flyers miss getting on planes and airlines including Taiwan's EVA Airways Corp and Japan's ANA Holdings Inc, desperate for revenue and to keep their pilots' licences current, have offered special sightseeing flights. EVA used one of its iconic Hello Kitty livery planes for a special father's day flight last month, while ANA used an Airbus SE A380 that usually flies to Honolulu for a 90-minute flight with a Hawaiian experience on board. Tickets costing around US$228 for a Tigerair Taiwan flight from Taipei that will circle over South Korea’s Jeju Island reportedly sold ... » Learn More about Asian airlines turn to ‘flights to nowhere’ to get travellers back in the skies
