Movie Nights Back on Track

Hey Kids,

I'm slightly less contagious now, so y'all are welcome back at my house!

The schedule:
Monday December 12/05: Verhoeven Night Part II
(Consider it an early Xmas Present)

7pm: Katie Tipppel [1975] -- Monique van de Ven (Turkish Delight) sleeps her way to the top as a poor girl forced into prostitution in turn of the century Holland. With a young & yummy Rutger Hauer (of course).

9pm: Soldier of Orange [1977] -- Verhoeven has described this as his favourite movie he's made & it's still considered a classic of Dutch cinema. Rutger Hauer stars as a college boy who joins the Dutch resistence with his friends during WWII for a "spot of adventure".

Also, don't forget that Friday (December 16th!!) is the 3rd Annual Xmassacre being held at Blim (197 E. 17th @ Main). Doors open at 7pm & remember to bring a wrapped "gift" for the Crappy Santa Gift Exchange. Afterparty at the Den starting around 11pm.

And last but not least, some of you may be aware that I've been chosen as a finalist in the CBC radio Definitely Not the Opera new film critic contest. Well, it turns out the judging is at least partially going to be done by the public. Please tune in this Saturday December 10 (tomorrow) between 3pm & 4pm to hear my review of "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe", then call or email and tell Sook-yin to give me the job.

I guess that's all. Hope to see you soon.
