LUST, CAUTION
thriller

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 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 World War II underway, Wong has been left behind by her father, who has escaped to 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 troupe's new leading lady, Wong realises that she has found her calling, able to move and inspire audiences ‒ and Kang. 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 transforms herself utterly inside and out, and the scenario proceeds as scripted ‒ until an unexpected fatal twist spurs her to flee.

Three years later, with no end in sight for the occupation, Wong, having emigrated to Hong Kong, goes through the motions of her existence.

Much to her surprise, Kuang re-enters her life. Now part of the organised 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...

DRILLBIT TAYLOR
comedy

It all begins on the first day of high school, when a trio of anxious freshmen ‒ chubby Ryan (Troy Gentile), freakishly skinny Wade (Nate Hartley) and their shrimpy tagalong, Emmit (David Dorfman) ‒ become the instant target of the school's senior psycho-in-residence, Filkins (Alex Frost), the ultimate school bully. As what they were hoping to be the best years of their lives are suddenly turned into a daily living hell, the boys realise they have only one choice ‒ to hire their own personal bodyguard. Enter Drillbit Taylor (Owen Wilson), not the best but definitely the cheapest of the mercenaries, hit men and bodyguards who answer their online ad. Drillbit is steely, dangerous and skilled in covert black-ops and exotic martial arts. He's also a complete fraud. He bluffs and cajoles the credulous trio through his cockamamie boot camp and, after several hilarious missteps, instils in them new skills and some much-needed confidence. But when push comes to shove ‒ and more pushing and more shoving ‒ Drillbit seems to be no match for Filkins's reign of terror.

21
action

Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) is a shy, brilliant M.I.T. student who ‒ needing to pay school tuition ‒ finds the answers in the cards. He is recruited to join a group of the school's most gifted students that heads to Vegas every weekend armed with fake identities and the know-how to turn the odds at blackjack in their favour.

With unorthodox maths professor and stats genius Micky Rosa (Kevin Spacey) leading the way, they've cracked the code. By counting cards and employing an intricate system of signals, the team can beat the casinos big time. Seduced by the money, the Vegas lifestyle, and by his smart and sexy teammate, Jill Taylor (Kate Bosworth), Ben begins to push the limits. Though counting cards isn't illegal, the stakes are high, and the challenge becomes not only keeping the numbers straight, but staying one step ahead of the casinos' menacing enforcer: Cole Williams (Laurence Fishburne).

SEMI-PRO
comedy

The American Basketball Association is on the verge of collapse, and when a former NBA benchwarmer returns to his hometown of Flint, MI, to whip his former team into shape for the play-offs, redemption is just a free throw away in this period sports comedy starring Will Ferrell and Woody Harrelson.

Penned by Old School scribe Scot Armstrong, Semi-Pro tells the tale of a 1970s-era basketball player who doesn't have much luck in the NBA, but vows to leave his mark on the sport by coaching the Flint Tropics. When the upstart ABA league agrees to be absorbed by the NBA, only four teams will be allowed in.

Jackie Moon must orchestrate a successful season both on the court, and financially off the court, with the help of many odd promotional events, in order to remain in the sport he loves.
