Week of April 10 -- results

Hi folks

we're going to go to norman's place tmrw for video night. We've got several movies:

Girl With The Pearl Earring
Volver
Half Nelson
The Departed

Please feel free to bring anything you've got which you would also like to see and we'll vote on it when we get there.

We'll probably buy dinner on the way up (there's very good pizza at the bakery in Wellcome, underneath the NPAC main church) and I'll bring movie popcorn.

See you at the Fortress Hill MTR station at 7.00. We'll be waiting until about 7.15, so if you join us, that's great -- otherwise, I'll assume there are no latecomers to wait for.

If you are joining later and you've been to Norman's place before, please feel free to arrive on your own. If you are joining late but don't know the directions to Norman's place, please call me.

Oh yes, and since I was late to the hiking event on Saturday, Haagen Daz ice cream will be my treat. =) Remind me to buy it if I forget!!

Yours for an entertaining video night,
angie

Week of April 10

1) This week's info:

This week, we have two non-serious movies up for offer at the cinemas:

a) Movies at the cinema:
  • Mr Bean's Holiday
    • Synopsis: Mr. Bean returns but not for long as he goes on his travels to the south of France where mishap and mayhem begin, by the end Bean even has his video diaries at the Cannes Film Festival. (from imdb.com)
  • Meet the Robinsons
    • This is a Disney movie. The characters resemble the ones from Toy Story, and Pixar is now owned by Disney. If you liked Toy Story, you might like this one.
    • Synopsis: Lewis is a brilliant inventor who meets mysterious stranger named Wilbur Robinson, whisking Lewis away in a time machine and together they team up to track down Bowler Hat Guy in a showdown that ends with an unexpected twist of fate. (from imdb.com)

(It's a bit early to check what movies will be playing on Tuesday night at the cinemas, so I can only give an update on Sunday or Monday as to possible cinema locations and showtimes. Please keep checking your email or the TMC xanga site for updates. Thanks.)


b) Video night:
Another option is to watch movies at somebody's house. Norman, can we crash your place again? =) Recently, we watched half of Volver and didn't finish it. I think we can show it again, from the beginning, if Norman's place is available. I'll bring microwave popcorn!

Week of April 3

1) This week's info:

For now, the movies choices for TMC this week are:

  • Pan's Labyrinth
    • Plot Outline: (from IMDB)
      In the fascist Spain of 1944, the bookish youngstepdaughter of a sadistic army general escapes into an eerie butcaptivating fantasy world.
  • Apocalypto (directed by Mel Gibson)
    • Plot Outline: (from IMDB)
    • As the Mayan kingdom faces its decline, the rulers insist the key toprosperity is to build more temples and offer human sacrifices. JaguarPaw (Youngblood), a young man captured for sacrifice, flees to avoidhis fate.

Pleasefeel free to suggest other movies, if you'd like. However, I thinkPan's Labyrinth has been playing slightly longer than Apocalypto, so Isuggest we watch that first this week and try Apocalypto next week.  Ihear it hasn't been playing in very many cinemas and I'm afraid it willbe taken off soon.
