movie choice A) day watch
synopsis:
Featuring the cinematic vision of cutting-edge Director/Writer
Timur Bekmambetov, DAY WATCH is the second installment of a trilogy
based on the best-selling sci-fi novels of Sergei Lukyanenko
entitled Night Watch, Day Watch and Dusk Watch. A dazzling
mix of state-of-the-art visual effects, amazing action sequences,
and nail-biting horror, when NIGHT WATCH (NOCHNOI DOZOR) was
released in its native Russia in July 2004, it became an instant
smash hit breaking all film gross records in post-Soviet history.
Set in contemporary Moscow, DAY WATCH revolves around the conflict
and balance maintained between the forces of light and darkness --
the result of a medieval truce between the opposing sides.

movie choice B) lust & caution
synopsis:
Lust, Caution is the new film from Ang Lee, the Academy
Award-winning director of Brokeback Mountain and Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon. A startling erotic espionage thriller about the fate
of an ordinary womans heart, it is based on the short story by
revered Chinese author Eileen Chang, and stars Asian cinema icon
Tony Leung opposite screen newcomer Tang Wei.
Shanghai, 1942. The World War II Japanese occupation of this
Chinese city continues in force. Mrs. Mak, a woman of
sophistication and means, walks into a café, places a phone call,
and then sits and waits. She remembers
how her story began several years earlier, in 1938 China. She is
not in fact Mrs. Mak, but shy Wong Chia Chi (Tang Wei). With WWII
underway, Wong has been left behind by her father, who has
escapedto England. As a freshman at university, she meets fellow
student Kuang Yu Min (Wang Leehom). Kuang has started a drama
society to shore up patriotism. As the theatre troupes new leading
lady, Wong realizes that she has found her calling, able to move
and inspire audiences and Kuang. He convenes a core group of
students to carry out a radical and ambitious plan to assassinate a
top Japanese collaborator, Mr. Yee (Tony Leung). Each student has a
part to play; Wong will be Mrs. Mak, who will gain Yees trust by
befriending his wife (Joan Chen) and then draw the man into an
affair. Wong transforms herself utterly inside and out, and the
scenario proceeds as scripted until an unexpectedly fatal twist
spurs her to flee.
Shanghai, 1941. With no end in sight for the occupation, Wong
having emigrated from Hong Kong goes through the motions of her
existence. Much to her surprise, Kuang re-enters her life. Now part
of the organized resistance, he enlists her to again become Mrs.
Mak in a revival of the plot to kill Yee, who as head of the
collaborationist secret service has become even more a key part of
the puppet government. As Wong reprises her earlier role, and is
drawn ever closer to her dangerous prey, she finds her very
identity being pushed to the limit

Do look out for these 2 movies when you visit the cinema. Though
they are not the usual hollywood fanfare, me thinks a lot of work
has been put into these works. Especially movies by Ang Lee because
he's proven to be a very sensitive story teller in Brokeback
Mountain.
