Last Night at the Alamo Movie Club comes back with its second event on the 14th of April, same place (Illy Coffee Bean Bar in OCT), same time table (open gate at 7pm, movie starting  at 8pm).

 

The 25th Hour, Spike Lee's harsh urban drama about the last free day of a New York pusher before getting jailed, will touch you both its lavish visual style and its great storytelling.

If you enjoyed Haruki Murakami's novel Norwegian Wood, you might want to check it out in the Hong Kong theaters this winter! The screen adaption by Trang Anh Hung has been playing in HK since December 30, 2010. It will be screening in the UK March 11, 2011

 

Norwegian Wood was nominated for the Venice Film Festival’s Golden Lion award in September.

Just finished watching Terribly Happy, a creepy, weird little film that mashes up film noir and Western, and places it in rural Denmark. Almost perfect cast, beautiful editing, also worth watching for its odd comic moments.

If you're looking for any recent TV recommendations, I have two to offer. One is the three-part Channel 4 series Red Riding -- probably the most compelling 4.5 hours of TV I've seen in ages. But be warned: it is immensely morbid, and can sometimes be hard to watch (the torture scenes, for example, are a bit much for TV, I think).

The other one is the three-part BBC series Sherlock, where that great detective solves cases in modern-day London. Plot may be full of holes, but the script is smart, funny and overall terrific, and the actors (Holmes and Watson in particular) make it a rollicking good time.

The Horde

This will be a simple review. On the first day of pre-production for this "film" someone raised their hand and said, "I have an idea, let's first hire the worst actors imaginable, then make the worst zombie film ever attempted." Then, it all went down hill from there. This movie is literally a pile of shit. I give it 0 out of 4 stars. Don't waste the 90 minutes of your precious time on this planet watching this movie. -phydoughx

Thanks:)
and in my point of view, the worst part of the movie is they didn't show nearly as much about "those monsters"... I was actually expecting some really fucked-up sense just like in the movie 'The cloverfeld". (I might just spelled the name of the movie wrong xD)

Good advice Rita... it is more like the first 2 minutes.. but you are right.. doesn't do any good until you watch the whole movie.. which in general was kind of lame.. fairly good effects though.. and they could have done so much more with it... 2 out of 4 stars.

Just watched "Monsters"-
The only advice when you watch this movie is... when you finished watching the entire movie through the end (until you see the credits rolling up to the screen yelling "WTF"...) and then go back to the beginning of the movie to watch the first 10 minutes again! (just first 10 minutes) Do that! Or you might not get what happened about the ending. :)

A few of the quotes in movie Almost Famous (2000):

-- Lester Bangs: My advice to you. I know you think those guys are your friends. You wanna be a true friend to them? Be honest, and unmerciful.

-- Lester Bangs: The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what we share with someone else when we're uncool.

-- Lester Bangs: That's because we're uncool. And while women will always be a problem for us, most of the great art in the world is about that very same problem. Good-looking people don't have any spine. Their art never lasts. They get the girls, but we're smarter.

-- Penny Lane: I always tell the girls, never take it seriously, if ya never take it seriosuly, ya never get hurt, ya never get hurt, ya always have fun, and if you ever get lonely, just go to the record store and visit your friends.

-- Russell Hammond: And you can tell Rolling Stone magazine that my last words were... I'm on drugs!

-- Elaine Miller: This is not some apron-wearing mother you're speaking with - I know all about your valhalla of decadence and I shouldn't have let him go. He's not ready for your world of compromised values and diminished brain cells that you throw away like confetti. Am I speaking to you clearly?
... ...

That's one of the reason why this movie is one of the must-seen and the best!

sounds like a crap movie. I think I will pass on this one.. when I saw the preview it seemed like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon with kids and lame powers.. oh, and we can't help but throw in people flying around.. which I hate more than pretty much anything else in movies... but that is in almost every Chinese or Hong Kong movie made these days.. If I see that crap in any movie now I will walk out and go do something else more interesting... like anything else.
