The month October springs up a few surprises. With Scott Pilgrim been taken off from the schedule and The Town has been delayed, there are so much to talk about the logic and rational of certain distributors who have been pretty much annoying, well albeit not as much as it used to be. Scott Pilgrim and The Town are two top quality films but yet, it succumbed to idiosyncratic of other films. We hope the month of November could continue to serve the movie-goers with more tasty and good films as we head in to the familiar time of the year - end of the year's mood and Oscar mood.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT? Twelve-year-old Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is viciously bullied by his classmates and neglected by his divorcing parents. Achingly lonely, Owen spends his days plotting revenge on his middle school tormentors and his evenings spying on the other inhabitants of his apartment complex. His only friend is his new neighbor Abby (Chloe Grace Moretz), an eerily self-possessed young girl who lives next door with her silent father. A frail, troubled child about Owens's age, Abby emerges from her heavily curtained apartment only at night and always barefoot, seemingly immune to the bitter winter elements. Owen soon opens up to her and before long, the two have formed a unique bond.
WHO IS IN IT? Chloe Moretz, the Hit-Girl from Kick-Ass and Kodi Smit-McPhee forms an unpleasant bonding between a vampire and a human.
