Israel Broussard

Directed By:

Sofia Coppola

There are a couple of moments in The Bling Ring, Sofia Coppola’s latest investigation into modern ennui, that are pure genius. The opening scene for instance, which begins as a quiet contemplation of an impending break-in which then explodes into a frenzied showcase of designer goods set to Sleigh Bells’ electro tune “Crown on the Ground” (perfect), is pure cinema. But the rest of the film, like 2010’s Somewhere, is dull and pretentious.

River Dancing
Singapore River’s just rolled out a weekly Tuesdays by the River campaign to get folks out and about. There’ll be 1-for-1 deals for Visa cardholders at participating bars and restaurants, mass outdoor yoga with Lululemon and even pub “crawls” on a river taxi. The events will take place every Tuesday from Sep 17 so there’ll be lots to look forward to by the waters.

The Purge

Starring:

Ethan Hawke

Lena Headey

Directed By:

James Demonaco

Probably one of the most boring and unoriginal thrillers we’ve seen in years, The Purge makes you want to do exactly just that. A supposed morality piece about the state of violence in America, everything about this thriller rings false. From Ethan Hawke’s semi-heroic turn as a steadfast family man who will do anything to protect his wife and kids to a truly ridiculous premise, the film is unredeemable.

Opening Date:

The young and talented Singapore-based Taiwanese photographer’s work is dark and emotive, featuring scenes of distorted naked bodies that even David Lynch will approve.
