Welcome back to the Fridae Movie Club!

In our pick of the week, The Thieves, a motley crew of burglars and con artists plot to steal a priceless jewel from a casino... and sell it back to its underworld owner! Starring an international cast, this heist caper and comedy-drama is Korea's answer to Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's trilogy.

Milla Jojovich is back as latex suit advocate, action hero, and zombie slayer Alice in Resident Evil: Retribution. With action choreography inspired by brutal Thai action flicks and monsters from the original video game series, this instalment of Resident Evil might actually wow you.

Hope Springs is a romcom about a comfortably settled, ageing couple who must rediscover their lost intimacy or face a marital breakdown. The fun is watching the two roles inhabited and deconstructed by Tommy Lee Jones in his authoritative but uncharismatic leading man stereotype and Meryl Streep in her old but hot and horny leading lady stereotype.

Till next week,

Vernon Chan
