Tuesday at the Movies: The Italian / The Brave One
-
Tuesday at the movies.
I'll be catching either The Brave One or The Italian tomorrow, am wondering if any of you will be interested.
Hehe... though most probably not after my choice in Lust, Caution (which is really very good) and Alpha Dog (it turned out to be rubbish)

The Italian: 9.30pm show at Orchard Cineleisure
Synopsis: ItÂ’s a pretty tall order to ask a six-year-old to suddenly take on responsibility for his own life. The questions facing Vanya are really tough: does he want to live a comfortable life as an adopted child of a loving family in Italy? After all, for an abandoned Russian child like Vanya it really doesnÂ’t sound like a bad option.
The genre is drama. I'm watching it for the cinematography under the impression it's a harsher version of Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn - boy with balls to leave the good life in search of something else.

The Brave One no need to introduce. Jodie Foster in a very good role at her best. Just watching it because it's Jodie Foster.
The Brave One: 9.45pm at Orchard Cineleisure
Synopsis: New York radio host Erica Bain (Jodie Foster) has a life that she loves and a fiancé she adores. All of it is taken from her when a brutal attack leaves Erica badly wounded and her fiancé dead. Unable to move past the tragedy, Erica begins prowling the city streets at night to track down the men she holds responsible. Her dark pursuit of justice catches the public’s attention, and the city is riveted by her anonymous exploits. But with the NYPD desperate to find the culprit and a dogged police detective (Terrence Howard) hot on her trail, she must decide whether her quest for revenge is truly the right path, or if she is becoming the very thing she is trying to stop.
Genre is action drama. It's nice seeing the 13 yo girl back in Taxi Driver all grown up and taking down the dogs herself.

The Italian is much more worthwhile to watch out of those two.
Personally, I want to watch The Kingdom

Since there are 2 extra recommendations for The Italian, should be worth the ticket. Had my reservations about the russians after walking out of Daywatch.Originally posted by airgrinder:am watching both the italian and brave 1. Thanks! -

They're probably showing it at Hall 6 near the preview lounge as usual, yeah the theatre is small but I'm expecting empty seats due to weekday and obsolete foreign film. Hey is it slow or is it gripping? Any bored moments? I fell asleep when I watched the wind that shook the barley even though it was supposedly decent.Originally posted by ^tamago^:the italian is a nice show (the boy so clever!) but u better book the seats fast as there are only 67 seats available per session at level 6 hall 6. -
