Hi Melissa,

I would agree with you to some extent, that martial arts is about training your mind, but there is also a certain level of physical training that must be coupled with it to achieve awesome results.

That part of the trailer with her going all ninja like just made me go
" humm..... "

And to make my day just get a little more depressing, just found out about a sneak screening in Adventura FL! I was totally set to go, until I mapquested where Aventura is from me (I am not a native floridian and I don't know my florida geography very well) ... only to find out that Adventura is about a 9 hour drive away :(

well, the show's been off the air for a year or two now, so cable wouldn't help at this point...The movie Serenity is based on the series "Firefly" that was created by Joss Whedon, the guy who brought you Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's a genius show that should have been on the air a good long time, but the network fucked it over. Don't feel bad if you haven't heard of it, I never saw it when it was on the air, either, I didn't see a stitch of it until an ex-BF of mine told me about it.
It's a very unique show, sort of a space western/sci-fi comedy. Great characters, cool technology, same sort of snarky, smart dialogue Buffy had, but with a twist. It's set 500 years in the future, but the future that Joss imagines is one where the galaxy is ruled by a large mega-government called the Alliance, who the characters are all avoiding at all costs. There's a captain, Mal, and his first mate, Zoe, a bad-ass warrior babe, who fought futilely with the resistance in a epic galactic war in which the Alliance were the victors. These resistance members are called "browncoats". After the war, Mal buys a beatup old decomissioned ship of the Firefly class, fixes it up, and names it Serenity. It is his escape from his checkered and sad past. He hires a pilot named Wash who ends up marrying Zoe. He also hires a young woman named Kaylee to be the ship's mechanic, and a tough-guy named Jane to be the heavy.

They survive by doing random, dubiously-legal odd jobs across many planets, where they are always dodging the authorities.
They also take on passengers for money, which include a preacher or "shepherd" named Book, who is not as docile as he seems, a young doctor named Simon, and his genius sister River, who he has rescued from a shadowy government research lab.
They get into all sorts of scrapes and adventures, and the storytelling is excellent. Even the theme song is really moving and catchy. (I love that little banjo/steel guitar solo in the middle!)
You really ought to rent the series from Netflix or Blockbuster and see how you like it before you go see the movie, which I suspect is geared toward the existing fans and will have little backstory to explain things.

Did I cover it well enough, grrls? :)
