Four Christmases

When upscale, happily unmarried San Francisco couple Kate and Brad find themselves socked in by fog on Christmas morning, their exotic vacation plans morph into the family-centric holiday they had, until now, gleefully avoided. Out of obligation-and unable to escape-they trudge to not one, not two, but four relative-choked festivities, increasingly mortified to find childhood fears raised, adolescent wounds reopened…and their very future together uncertain. As Brad counts the hours to when he can get away from their parents, step-parents, siblings and an assortment of nieces and nephews, Kate is starting to hear the ticking of a different kind of clock. And by the end of the day, she is beginning to wonder if their crazy families’ choices are not so crazy after all.

Role Models

Synopsis
A pair of irresponsible energy drink salesmen realize that serving a month of hard time is nothing compared to spending 150 hours in a community mentorship program after they trash the company truck and find themselves at the mercy of the court in this comedy starring Seann William Scott and Paul Rudd. Wheeler (Scott) and Danny (Rudd) wouldn't necessarily be the first people a parent would turn to when seeking out a babysitter, in fact, they probably wouldn't even make the list in the first place. After slamming a few too many Minotaur energy drinks and crashing the company truck, however, the two loose-living pals narrowly avert jail when the court decides to let them become mentors to a group of young misfits. But how is the recently dumped Danny supposed to help bashful, role-playing geek Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) become a man when all he can offer the boy is bitter sarcasm, and is beer-chugging man-child Wheeler really the best choice to help foul-mouthed fifth-grader Ronnie (Bobb'e J. Thompson) develop more respect for his elders? Probably not, but they'll have to do their best anyway when the center's ex-con director (Jane Lynch) confronts them with a harsh ultimatum. Now, if Wheeler and Danny can just make it through the rest of their probation without getting tossed in jail, maybe there's hope for the boys -- and Danny's relationship with his fed-up girlfriend (Elizabeth Banks) -- after all. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

It turns out Patrick is harboring a grudge -- his fiancée broke up with him after receiving relationship advice from Emma on her show. The "accidental" marriage is a prank Patrick pulled to cause chaos in Emma's apparently perfect love life and show her what it feels like to have a complete stranger meddle with your life.

Unable to come clean, Patrick goes along with the ruse pretending to be just as baffled as Emma. Whilst trying to figure out how to end the marriage their opposite approaches to life create much tension and chaos. But as they spend more time together, Patrick starts to fall in love with the woman he thinks ruined his future marriage and Emma starts to admire his carefree, reckless passion for life and doubt her own conservative, button-down views on life and ..

TRAPPED ASHES

Seven strangers on a Hollywood movie studio tour are trapped inside an infamous House of Horror and forced to tell their most terrifying stories to get out alive.

Garden Party


One night during the filming of GARDEN PARTY, actor/musician Erik Scott Smith (“Sammy”) was hanging out, waiting for someone to light something. And to pass the time, he got to talking about some of the crazy things he has seen people do since he moved to LA from Tennessee. And Erik, who is a street musician, has seen quite a bit.

Alex Cendese, who plays Nathan, was there as well, and after hearing one of Erik’s stories, he said that’s just what attracted him to the script of GARDEN PARTY. Erik said, yeah, these are all “garden party stories”. If you’ve lived in LA for long, you have one of your own. And so, a “garden party story”, as they became known that night, is a story about the most awkward, or outrageous, or humbling moment that someone experiences in an effort to get ahead or just get by, while waiting for fame and fortune in LA. And the filmmakers began to collect “garden party stories” from various people. One actress was paid $500 to clean an apartment in her panties. One actor responded to a personal assistant ad, which led to nothing but trouble. Another actress ratted her boyfriend’s other girlfriend out to the tabloids. And so the stories go. At the bottom of these, and many others, is both the desperation of trying to get ahead in Hollywood and the humor that goes with it.

The filmmakers began to post them on the internet, in part to publicize the film and in part because these stories are so compelling in their own right. These “garden party stories” have become a cult sensation on YouTube, and attracted the attention a number of true YouTube superstars[citation needed], Mememolly, CommunityChannel, Paperlilies and Katers17, each who have done their own take on these stories.

To help his actors get into character the director would often take his pants off on set and say "now you don't have to imagine me nude, because I am nude and this feels so right".

Ah Long Pte Ltd 《老师嫁老大》 is a light-hearted black comedy about the triad world and the money-lending business. Instead of treating the subject of Ah Longs (money-lenders) seriously, the movie takes on a humorous and sarcastic treatment. It depicts how a young lady tries to restructure her money-lending triad into a professional and ‘loving' triad that stands against the use of violence after she takes over from her triad leader who has retired. Her various restructuring plans (which are no doubt very creative) bring about hilarious results.

Chen Jun (played by Richard Low) is the leader of Shao He Triad. The story opens with him deciding to “retire” from the triad business. Prior to his retirement, he elects Wang Li Hua (played by Fann Wong), a young but tough girl, as his successor.



Li Hua believes that changes need to be made to the current money lending system . Although Li Hua prioritizes the triad's success, she is very much against the idea of using violent means to collect debts. Therefore, with the help of some professional consultants, Li Hua and several of her subordinates (played by KK and Daniel Tan) start adopting a series of creative tactics to attract money lenders and practice hilarious methods to pressure the money-lenders to repay in a non-violent way. However, Li Hua's plan of “restructuring” her triad meets with obstacles and opposition from the majority of the conservative elders in both her own triad and rival triad.

At the brighter end of the world, Mr. Fang (played by Mark Lee) is a kind-hearted dance instructor who is slightly sissy in character. Fate has it that Mr. Fang runs into Li Hua on numerous occasions by chance. Since Li Hua's mother has been pressuring her to get married, Li Hua decides to force Mr. Fang to marry her. Surprisingly, Mr. Fang agrees to it, wanting to prove his masculinity. Though finding it hard to accept the fact that Li Hua is a triad head, Mr. Fang approves of her effort to minimize the use of violence. Subsequently, he offers to help Li Hua out by introducing creative ways to reduce violent methods of debt collection.

三国之见龙卸甲 Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon(2008)

Andy Lau stars as Zhao Zilong, a veteran general of the Kingdom of Shu who took a last stand against the invading forces from the Kingdom of Wei. Maggie Q is the fictional Cao Ying, a grand-daughter of the warlord Cao Cao, whose son Cao Pi became the first emperor of the Kingdom of Wei.

The story depicts an alternate history, following the events that unfolded in the Three Kingdoms era through the life of the legendary Shu general Zhao Zilong. Zhao Zilong began his military career as a soldier in Liu Bei's army. Zhao Zilong once displayed his fine spear skills to Liu Bei in a small face-off with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. This impressed Liu Bei, and he decided to promote Zhao Zilong to the rank of a general. Zhao Zilong was bestowed with the 'All Piercing Spear'.

Zhao Zilong scored his first victory in battle by outwitting Cao Cao at the Battle of Changban. He managed to rescue Liu Bei's son, A Dou from the clutches of the forces of Cao Cao by fighting them single-handedly. Cao Cao's life was put in great peril and he also lost his personal weapon to Zhao Zilong. Cao Ying, who had witnessed Zhao Zilong's acts, swore to help her grandfather regain his lost pride by capturing Zhao Zilong alive.

As history passed, Zhao Zilong had never lost in any battle he fought in, hence earning himself the title of 'The Undefeated General'(長勝將軍). Cao Pi forced the last ruling Han emperor to abdicate in his favour and proclaimed himself Emperor of the Kingdom of Wei. Thereafter, Liu Bei assumed the title of Emperor of Shu-Han as a spiritual successor to the fallen Han dynasty by carrying on the family name. Zhao Zilong joined the ranks of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong to be one of the Five Tiger Generals sworn to defend the Han imperial family.

Years after Zhuge Liang's first failed Northern Expedition, he embarked on a second expedition. Zhao Zilong had reached the age of 71 by then, hence Zhuge Liang had doubts about allowing him to join in the expedition. However his persistence ensured him a role in the expedition. The Chancellor handed him two satches, instructing him to open them as per situations. Zhao Zilong set forth on the expedition expecting to achieve a major victory once more. His first feat was the slaying of the four sons of Wei general Han Xin. As Han Xin retreated, it became obvious that it was a ploy to lure Zhao Zilong into a trap, planned by the Wei commander Cao Ying. Zhao Zilong was forced to retreat to the Yellowbird Peak. It was there where Zhao Zilong pitted his last strength against Cao Ying.

In a single one-to-one duel, Zhao Zilong bouted Cao Ying but decided to let her off. During the fight, the undefeated general received a battle scar for the first time ever in his career. The surbordinate generals of Zhao Zilong engaged in a fierce battle with the Wei forces, but were defeated after Cao Ying sacrificed Han Xin to bring gunpowder into the battlefield. All was lost for Zhao Zilong. He stripped off his armour, picked up his Piercing Spear, and charged towards the Wei forces in a last ditch effort, swearing to defend the Yellowbird Peak, and the dignity of the Kingdom of Shu-Han with the last general and last man.

  而足智多谋的诸葛亮也把赵云当成诱敌之傀儡,寄望曹婴和赵云的大战,能让他暗渡陈仓,用全军在三个时辰里攻下魏之主城六郡。此次此刻,赵云该何去何从。

第一诫 Rule #1

All hail the best horror-action film in the history of Singapore!

Stylishly creepy, fast-paced and complex, director Kelvin Tong (The Maid) seems to have combined his instinct for horror pictures with the typically breakneck pace of Hong Kong action cinema.
Rule #1 mark the first time a Singapore filmmaker has ventured into Hong Kong to shoot a full-length film with regional stars like Shawn Yue, Ekin Cheng and Fiona Xie. The change of air has certainly done Kelvin good.

Rule #1 centres on an ordinary policeman (Shawn Yue) who is transferred to the Miscellaneous Affairs Department (or MAD). There, he has a curious responsibility of investigating cases relating to the supernatural. Even though his boss (Ekin Cheng) insists on Rule No. 1 which states "There are no such things as ghosts", Shawn thinks otherwise...

Hatched by Kelvin and film critic John Powers, the story is complex and clever — even though a very knowledgeable movie buff can point out plot points borrowed from or inspired by Se7en, The Frighteners, One Missed Call, The Sixth Sense, The Eye and The X-Files. (Then again, which commercial film these days can be said to be truly original?)

The film, at any rate, is a solid technical accomplishment that should reap rewards at the box office. Kelvin, who was formerly a film critic, has gotten mixed reviews since he switched to filmmaking. Past efforts such as The Maid and Eating Air have gotten their share of praises, while his last film Men in White was universally reviled.

His new film, however, should set the record straight: That Kelvin is a talented — if inconsistent — filmmaker who shouldn't be written off.
Rookie Sergeant Lee (Shawn Yue) is injured in a shoot-out and is assigned to the dubious-sounding Miscellaneous Affairs Department (MAD). There, he is paired up with Inspector Wong (Ekin Cheng), a jaded and alcoholic veteran who explains that MAD's role is to answer supernatural calls. Wong explains MAD's rule number one - there are no ghosts. For every seemingly inexplicable phenomenon, there is a corresponding scientific and rational explanation. MAD begins investigating a string of bizarre teenage suicides - impossible suicides, unless the victims were possessed. As Lee and Wong
follow the clues, they realise something sinister is heading their way.


故事以警方接到灵异电话这类都市怪谈为蓝本,讲述警察如何应付五个声称“我家里有一些奇怪东西”的神秘电话。

Boogeyman 2

"Boogeyman 2" centers on a young woman with a long-term phobia of the boogeyman, who voluntarily checks herself into a mental health facility with the hope of conquering her overwhelming fears. However, much to her horror, she discovers that some things are terrifying on purpose, and confronting her demons was not the best course of action.

Chocolate 女拳霸


Watch it online now!
Chocolate is the latest from director Prachya Pinkaew, the man at the helm of Ong Bak and Tom Yum Goong/The Protector starring the inimitable Tony Jaa.

The movie stars Nicharee Vismistananda who has been training for years in preparation for this role. She plays an autistic girl who goes after gang members to collect debts to help her sick mother. Of course, this causes Thai and Japanese gangs to take notice and go after Nicharee.

这部泰国片的故事是讲述一个女孩 Nicharee “Jeeja” Vismistananda 被安排收债的工作来抢救生病的母亲。而这个女孩自幼就与普通人不一样,有超强的感官及学习能力。结果应该从头到尾都是在打打杀杀的场面吧。戏里我唯一熟悉的竟然就是阿部宽Hiroshi Abe!原来他跑来当起日本黑社会头头。

到预告结尾的花絮才发现到他们的打斗画面都是亲自上阵的,没有使用替身。演员都在不足够安全措施的情况下不要命的进行高难度打斗。预告中看到这个泰国女生多处受伤的画面。除了极为佩服女生的身手,也佩服她的能耐。

原来这个小女孩为了这个角色,早在几年前就开始被安排在学习武术,所以打起来得心应手吧。最后惊觉到原来这部戏就是那个拍了Ong Bak、Tom Yam Gong的导演 - Prachya Pinkaew所拍的,难怪像学成龙早期电影精神一样的那么不要命。可是人家毕竟还是小女生,不是Tony Jaa那么强壮吧。这部电影打着不使用钢索、不用替身、没有特效的不要命电影吧。Chocolate将会在2月份泰国上映。

"UNTRACEABLE" is about a secret service agent, Jennifer Marsh, played by Best Actress Oscar nominee Diane Lane who gets caught in a very personal and deadly cat-and-mouse game with a serial killer who knows that people (being what they are - both curious and drawn to the dark side of things) will log onto an "untraceable" website where he conducts violent and painful murders LIVE on the net. The more people who log on and enter the website, the quicker and more violently the victim dies. Suspenseful, intense and action oriented, "UNTRACEABLE" also has a relevant and accurate message about todays society. Why are we drawn to "evil" in our media etc. Just look at the news or read a newspaper... it's all bad news and often murder, yet we are drawn to it and read about it. This film explores that but not in a preachy way but in a way that is both intense, entertaining and thought-provoking.
