DIGGER, starring Tom Cruise and directed by Alejandro Iñárritu, will be coming to IMAX screens in Hong Kong on 1st October: youtu.be/qbWTxJ-f1uo?...
THE ODYSSEY: Nolan adapts the quintessential hero’s journey into a bleak deconstruction of heroism, asking why do we sacrifice ourselves for tyrants, worship & fear deities who regard us only with anger & indifference, and why do we venerate those who commit unspeakable acts in our name? Epic stuff.
Back from the dead and as pungent as ever, Marshy’s Movie Time returns! All-new movie waffle live on The Brew, after 12pm today on RTHK Radio 3! #moviereviews #rthkradio3 #hongkong
New movies out today in Hong Kong: TOY STORY 5, DOG DAY EVENING, SHEEP IN THE BOX, DEAR YOU, BEING TOWARDS DEATH, PALIMPSEST: THE STORY OF A NAME
DISCLOSURE DAY: Emily Blunt is excellent in Spielberg’s odd, uneven & painfully lens-flared mix of conspiracy thriller, otherworldly spectacle & implausibly earnest, messianic fable. 2/3 great, 1/3 guff but undeniable proof that aliens are bad at CGI & you can always trust your local news affiliate.
New movies out today in Hong Kong: MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, SCARY MOVIE, GINTAMA THE MOVIE: YOSHIWARA IN FLAMES, THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS: THE LAST ACT, BACKROOMS (6/6)
DEAR ENGLAND: Brilliantly realises the beauty & ugliness of what it means to be an England fan, through the ecstasy & agony of two successive penalty shootouts. Joseph Fiennes is uncannily good as Southgate, while the creators wring incredible drama from events we recall only too well.
New movies out today in Hong Kong: COLONY, PRESSURE, GOHAN, UNEXPECTED COURAGE, KONG TAO #newreleases #hongkong #movies #asiancinema #outtoday #colony #pressure #gohan #unexpectedcourage #kongtao
On this day in 2017 we lost an absolute legend. Sir Roger Moore will always be my favourite James Bond and I feel incredibly honoured to have met him in 2008 and spent a few choice minutes chatting about the franchise, his memoir, and UNICEF work. Gone but never forgotten - nobody did it better.
