It's a new decade! In 10 years time, we'll be looking back at this year to see what the best movies of the 2020s were. But for now, let's just look ahead to the month, shall we?
Since Chinese New Year is on Jan 21, we'll have another post on all the CNY movies you can watch later on. For now, we'll be focusing on the non-CNY picks, which admittedly is a little lean. Our pick of the month has to be The Garden Of Evening Mists, starring Lee Sinje (Jan 16), which has already been making waves overseas with a number of awards and nominations.
There's also quite a lot of star power in the films this month. We've got Will Smith and Martin Lawrence reprising their star-making Bad Boys roles (Bad Boys For Life, Dec 23), Chadwick Boseman bossing a sharp suit as a NYPD detective (21 Bridges, Jan 2), Kristen Stewart trying not to be eaten by an underwater sea monster (Underwater, Jan 9), Robert Downey Jr. talking to animals in a weird accent (Dolittle, Jan 23), and John Cena as a macho fireman babysitting kids (Playing With Fire, Jan 9).
Golden Screen Cinemas also presents the China Film Week 2020 this month, held in conjunction with the 2020 China Malaysia Year Of Culture And Tourism. ThCFW will be held exclusively in GSC Mid Valley, Kuala Lumpur, from Jan 16-19, and is free to the public. for more information and movie listings, visit the GSC website.
A NYPD leading a manhunt for two suspected cop killers decides to shut down the eponymous 21 bridges of Manhattan to prevent them from escaping.
