Welcome again to the Fridae Movie Club newsletter. The big news of the week is how The Hunger Games broke US, Singapore, and International box office records over the weekend. We still recommend you watch it if you haven't already.

Our pick for this week though, is the infamous Bel Ami. Based on Guy de Maupassant's novel, the film stars Robert Pattinson as a lowly but cunning cad who sleeps his way to the top of French society. His targets of seduction include characters played by Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci, and Kristin Scott Jones.

Sam Worthington returns in Wrath of the Titans as Perseus. Once more, his help is needed to save the Gods and humanity from their age-old enemies, the Titans. Will he be able to vault the Titans into a trilogy? Watch the film and find out!

When the cat belonging to a respected rabbi gains the ability to talk, all hell breaks loose! The charming animated comedy The Rabbi's Cat is a showcase of the inventiveness and wit of one of the most talented comic book writers in France.

It's not yet the centenary of the Nanking Massacre but that's not going to stop Zhang Yimou from organising a visual extravaganza to commemorate the event. His old fashioned war melodrama The Flowers of War is an adaptation of a popular Chinese novel.

Till next week,

Vernon Chan
