NYC Happenings: BAM Cinematek & Magnolia Pictures Team Up + HK Favorites!

Well any opportunity to see such modern genre classics as Let The Right One In and The Host on the big screen is a good thing. And when that comes with screenings of Nicholas Winding Refn's Bronson, Onk-Bak and the criminally under-seen comedy, The Great World of Sound even better. This all falls under the banner for BAM Cinematek's 10 Years of Magnolia Pictures program running from August 24th - 29th & 31st. The series showcases 13 films from the independent distributor's catalog; the full line-up and schedule can be found below.

Meanwhile on August 1st, 2nd and 8th three seminal Hong Kong films play. And these three would be: Riki-Oh: The Story Of Ricky, Dragon Inn and (as you can see by the poster), Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain.
