Happy Chinese New Year!

It’s the Year of the Monkey.

So, in honor of the tiger and the dragon that lives inside each of you, here is the trailer of a movie that came out about sixteen years ago: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.  The gals in the movie are warriors too!  And they kick some serious butt! Enjoy!
