Hi all,
In dread of the upcoming weekend (goddammit), I'm garnering
response for a movie outing. Those interested in going, please
confirm by sending me a PM (by this Thursday) so we can book the
tickets in advance.
Before the movie, we can shoot pool or go bowling. After the movie,
ideally we can watch another movie (but then again that's another
story).
Confirmed

Synopsis
In the year 1850, the suffering of the 430 million Chinese people
under the corrupt rule of the Qing dynasty set the stage for the
Taiping Rebellion. During the chaos of the decade long civil war,
50 million people died from either hunger or battle.
In the fall of 1870, General Pang (starring Jet Li) stands high
atop the city walls fully attired in governor's robes. Peering down
upon the site of his inauguration, he is filled with dreams and
ambition. Pang has taken a path of no return; had he chosen
differently, he might have been one of the heroes to later
overthrow the corrupt Qing imperial regime and establish a new
China. He could have changed the course of history...
...But two bandits and a woman have changed the course of his life
- helping him achieve his goal, but ultimately causing his demise.
The two bandits are his sworn blood brothers: Zhao Er-Hu (starring
Andy Lau) and Jiang Wu-Yang (starring by Takeshi Kaneshiro). The
woman who comes between them is Zhao's wife Lian (starring by Xu
Jinglei)...
