THIS WEEK 7 May 2009

STAR TREK (English) PG13 Action/Science Fiction (REVIEW)

"Star Trek" tells the incredible story of a young crew's maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created, the U.S.S. Enterprise. On a journey filled with action, comedy, and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk (Chris Pine), a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. While the other, Spock (Zachary Quinto) was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before.




SELL OUT! (English/Mandarin/Cantonese) 18PL Comedy/Musical

Her name is Rafflesia Pong (Rafflesia = largest flower in the world, which reeks of animal carcass; Pong = stink). She's a bottom-ranking arts show host who's disillusioned with those overrated underachievers we call "artists". He's Eric Tan (Eric = Eric, Tan = typical Chinese surname), a product designer who's just about to learn that it doesn't pay to be creative. They both work for FONY, a multinational conglomerate whose mission statement, copied from a Taiwanese company, is to be original. In the face of such pressure, Eric and Rafflesia is questioned whether they will retain their artistic integrity or will they finally sell out to fame, fortune or some other nasty thing that also starts with "F".




SHHH DIA DATANG (Malay) U Comedy
"Shhh... Dia Datang", the debut film by Malaysia's favourite comedian Saiful Apek tells the story of two friends Enol (Saiful Apek) and Edd (Aaron Aziz) who aspire to make it big as film producers. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is within reach, but they still have to face numerous challenges that come in all sorts of forms throughout the filmmaking process including the troublesome Datin Kat (Kuna).
