...Mainly Jazz, the only dance company at Harvard to showcase jazz dance, are presenting their premiere performance of the year this Friday and Saturday, November 15 to 16. The theme of the show, entitled “Mainly Movies I,” is loosely based on songs from cinema. The eight featured pieces range from the Men in Black theme to “Lady Marmalade” from Moulin Rouge. More abstract interpretations of this idea include AC/DC’s “You Shook Me All Night Long” (as featured...
...walk down Connaught Road without getting beaten or eaten. Hongkies will inform you that it?s not quite like that: the place is bustling but civilized. You will tell them that Rob Schneider does not necessarily exemplify the American male. And both sides will have learned an important cinema lesson: don?t infer documentary from fantasy...
...homage to this appetite for destruction, the mad lads at Subway Cinema have commandeered Anthology Film Archives in New York City this weekend for an 11-film binge titled ?In the Mood for Gore.? The series may sound like a nostalgia nosh for Democrats still smarting from the 2000 election. But the subtitle explains all: ?22 Years of Deliciously Evil Hong Kong Cinema.?

Or scream and fight, as Lily Chung does against her super-subhuman attacker...
...Subway Cinema?s favorite scarlet starlet is Julie Lee, sometimes known as Julie Riva. Lee graces three IMTFG offerings. She enjoys airborne sex-hex workouts in ?Chinese Torture Chamber Story? and another, daffier concoction, ?The Eternal Evil of Asia.? When she vaults from tree to tree to Tsui Kam-kong?s loins, she helps creates the zestiest airborne coupling since the Flying Fucks trapeze duo in Peter Locke?s very funny 1973 porn film ?It Happened in Hollywood.? Lee is on the receiving end of the most harrowing rape scene in movie history (and, yes, Francophiles, I?m including...
