BETTER LUCK TOMORROW
Never underestimate an overachiever. To his classmates and teachers, high-schooler Ben Manibag (Parry Shen) appears to be the 'model' student: a perfectionist and overachiever, destined for nothing less than graduation at the top of his class and then attending a prestigious college. But underneath this persona is a darker side - Ben and his bored high-school buddies lead double lives, flying high in a world of petty crime and material excess in order to ease the pressures of 'being perfect'. It's a free-wheeling lifestyle that soon takes a downward spiral, leading to an unexpected end. An Official Selection at the Sundance Film Festival, Better Luck Tomorrow is a gripping, edgy and provocative film that rips the tranquil, well-manicured facade off of middle-class suburbia and cultural stereotypes.

Little does Stroud know that this job will involve Janoths mistress Pauline York (Rita Johnson), murder most foul, and a series of events that eventually threaten the editors own personal safety. Dominated by Milland and Laughtons wonderful central performances, The Big Clock also features Maureen OSullivan (Farrows wife), Elsa Lanchester (the Bride of Frankenstein) and professional Hollywood villain George Macready.
Stylishly designed and photographed, with inventive use of New York locations and a distinctive Victor Young score, The Big Clock is regularly nominated as a classic of the genre

BLEAK HOUSE
Acclaimed writer Andrew Davies turns his talents to one of Charles Dickens' most brilliant novels - arguably the greatest ever depiction of Victorian London. Fresh and imaginative, yet faithful to the original, this thrilling fast-paced adaptation is shot with a contemporary edge. At its heart is the story of the icily beautiful Lady Dedlock, who nurses a dark secret, and the merciless lawyer Tulkinghorn, who seeks to uncover it. The generous John Jarndyce, struggling with his own past, and his two young wards Richard and Ada, are all caught up, like Lady Dedlock, in the infamous case of Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce, which will make one of them rich beyond imagination if it can ever be brought to a conclusion. As Tulkinghorn digs deeper into Lady Dedlock's past, he unearths a secret that will change their lives forever, and which is almost as astounding as the final outcome of the Jarndyce case.
