On Wednesday, June 30, we will organize our first movie night. We'll gather in one of our very own auditoria to enjoy a movie in a relaxing atmosphere after the last zealous researcher calls it a day. The dvd of the movie will be put up for raffle afterwards!
For those who are interested, we'll be having an informal 'bring your own meal' dinner at around 6.30 pm at the cafeteria on the 4th floor. Everyone is more than welcome to join. Since we cannot offer any snacks during the movie, we'll move to the chapel (HOGC 00.50) afterwards to discuss the movie while enjoying a drink.
Make sure to vote for your favorite movie if you're intending to come (you can choose more than one) or suggest one youself for future movie nights. Voting closes on Friday June 25 (8 pm) and the winning movie will be announced here and on facebook on Monday June 28.
A Serious Man (2009)
The latest production of the Coen brothers tells the story of Larry Gopnik, a Midwestern professor who watches his life unravel through multiple sudden incidents. Though seeking for meaning and answers he seems to stay stalled. This black comedy drama was nominated best original screenplay and best picture at the academy awards.
One Flew ove
r the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1962) is a novel written by Ken Kesey. It is set in and asylum, and serves as a study of the institutional process and the human mind. The novel was adapted into a movie, which won all five major Academy Awards (Best picture, actor in lead role, actress in lead role, director and screenplay). It tells the story of brash rebel Patrick McMurphy (Jack Nicholson), who upon arrival at a mental institution, rallies the patients together to take on the oppressive Nurse Ratched, a woman more a dictator than a nurse.
The Hurt Locker (2009)
Iraq. Forced to play a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse in the chaos of war, an elite Army bomb squad unit must come together in a city where everyone is a potential enemy and every object could be a deadly bomb. Best Motion Picture winner at this year's Oscars.
Casino Roy
ale (2006)
Casino Royale disposes of the silliness and gadgetry that plagued recent James Bond outings, and Daniel Craig delivers what fans and critics have been waiting for: a caustic, haunted, intense reinvention of 007. But scribes also note Casino is hardly morose, with enough stunning action sequences and in-jokes to please the diehards. Some pundits even go so far as to say that Daniel Craig is the best Bond since Sean Connery. One of the latest Bond films, it is also the first of the newly rebooted Bond timeline. The film is set at the beginning of James Bond's career as Agent 007, just as he is earning his licence to kill. Bond falls for Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), the treasury agent assigned to provide the money he needs to foil a high-stakes poker tournament organised by terrorist-tied banker Le Chiffre.
Mystic River (2003)
Childhood friends Jimmy Markum, Sean Devine and Dave Boyle reunite following the death of Jimmy's oldest daughter, Katie. Sean's a police detective on the case, gathering difficult and disturbing evidence; he's also tasked with handling Jimmy's rage and need for retribution. This American drama film directed by Clint Eastwood, starring Sean Penn, Tim Robbins (who both won an oscar for their role) and Kevin Bacon, opened to widespread critical acclaim.
Casablanca (1942)
Romantic drama film starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Set duringWorld War II, it focuses on a man torn between, in the words of one character, love and virtue. He must choose between his love for a woman and helping her and her Czech Resistance leader husband escape from the Vichy-controlled Moroccan city of Casablance to continue his fight against the Nazis. Its characters, dialogue, and music have become iconic, and Casablanca has grown in popularity to the point that it now consistently ranks near the top of the lists of the greatest films of all time.
