Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons (2014)
This wildly imaginative film from Stephen (Kung Fu Hustle) Chow concerns a group of Demon Hunters trying to rid the world of all the demons found in the world. Young Buddhist Xuan Zang tries to use peace in battling the dark beings, all the while falling in love with a resourceful hunter Miss Duan. It is a very funny, PG-13 rated action-packed fantasy that might be a little scary for younger viewers. It is subtitled in English.
The Hero (2017)
This drama about an actor finding a surprising resurgence of interest in his past career stars Sam Elliot as the aging western actor facing his own mortality. It is sweet, funny and poignant. Elliot is in top form.
Oscar (1991)
In my opinion, this is the one genuinely funny comedy that Sylvester Stallone ever made. He’s a gangster who swears to go straight and what follows is a screwball comedy that harkens back to a simpler time in cinema. Very funny and this is one of Hoopla Bonus Borrows for the month, so it does not count against your five borrows.
Mercenaries (2014)
When the president’s daughter is taken captive, a group of female commandos infiltrate the woman’s prison she’s being kept to jack jaws and break skulls. Zoe Bell, Kristanna Loken, Vivica A.

This is found in Hoopla's Action-Packed Bonus Borrows along with other movies, ebooks, audiobooks and graphics that will not count against your borrows for November.
