Lively debut from British post-rockers

High time a documentary paid tribute to the undervalued golden-era Motown house band—The Funk Brothers—who played on more (and better) hits than anyone else. The (surviving) old dudes remain innately fluid. The choice of guest vocalists here, however, as they trot through some of the greats, could've been better. Bootsy Collins babbling "Cool Jerk", fine. Chaka Khan hollering "What's Going On", unsubtle but fine. But Ben Harper (twice?), and Joan Osborne (twice)?

Mobster melodrama for girls

Pristine restoration of Bruce Lee's only movie as star, director, writer and producer, released to mark the 30th anniversary of his death. He's a country boy come to the city, in this case Rome, where he must kung-fu kick the collective badass of gangsters trying to take over a Chinese restaurant. Not Lee's best, but it does have nunchakus and that great, no-frills fight with a hairy Chuck Norris in the Colosseum.
