Young pretty people steam up the screen this week.
In Sorority Row, five attractive girls get hunted down when they accidentally cause the death of one of their sorority sisters. This thrillers plays like a cross between Scream and Girls
Gone Wild, with plenty of scenes of scantily clad girls running away from a hooded murderer.
It’s sexy, scary and funny all at once, and a subversive
treat for lesbian viewers.
Also worth catching is (500)
Days of Summer,
a lovely reinvention of the boy-meets-girl-then-loses-girl genre.
First time director Marc Webb puts his commercial and music video background
to good use by interspersing the story with pop songs, split screens
and other creative techniques. In the hands of a lesser director,
these may look gimmicky. But Marc obviously knows what he’s doing.
Enjoy!

Singapore | 2 OCT - 11
OCT 2009
The 25th Singapore French Film Festival
The 25th Singapore French Film Festival celebrates its Silver Jubilee in October 2009
For the past 25 years, the Singapore French Film Festival has brought the French language, arts, history, culture and daily lives to audiences in Singapore. From 2 to 11 October 2009, the first-ever foreign film festival in Singapore will celebrate its 25th anniversary.
This year’s festival will feature an Anthology of Works by First-Time
Directors.
The Opening Film
Paris 36 by Christophe Barratier (of Les Choristes fame) opens the festival.
Set in 1936 in vaudevillian Paris in a tumultuous period of violence
in the form of masked strike-breakers, anti-Semitism of the rich
conservatives and the fraudulent idealism of the communists, the
film is above all a sentimental story of lives intertwined on the
cobblestone streets of the City of Love in Pre-World War II.

Funny People

Despite the movie title, Funny People is actually not just about being funny. This is an unexpectedly excellent dramedy that deals with early middle age and appeals to the hearts.
