Screening of John Woo's film, Red Cliff, his massively acclaimed, multi-award winning return to top form turns to Chinese history for inspiration. It's hard to know what to say about a film which has garnered some of the strongest critical praise of any film in years, and is the most successful Chinese film at the box office, ever, outstripping even James Cameron's Titanic success (a point mostly overlooked in Western media). Costumes, history, action, romance, politics - it has it all, done brilliantly. This is a true big-screen, cast of thousands, epic featuring some stunning cinematography and sweeping scenes. The Han Dynasty is facing its death in third century China, and the emperor raises a million-man army against two kingdoms that are hopelessly outmatched, but will fight to the end. Red Cliff was an historically critical battle in the winter of 208/9 AD between the allied forces of the southern warlords Liu Bei and Sun Quan and the vastly greater forces of the warlord Cao Cao. This real clash of titans forever changed China's landscape. Link to the trailer: Rotten Tomatoes We will meet for 6.30 pm by the fountain.

"Performing the Brahms Requiem has long been a wish of mine. Brahms's entire oeuvre is an expression of overarching humanity, concentrating as the works do â?" in particular the Requiem â?" so completely on consolation and comfort, providing peace of mind." â?" Bernhard Gueller, Music Director

Mocean's Home Season mainstage performance, Live in 3, is March 18-20, 2010 at Neptune Studio Theatre. The evening will feature three world premieres from three choreographers spanning coast to coast. From the West, Vancouver's Susan Elliott has created Through the Trees, a stunning and expressive new solo for Mocean Dance founding member, Sarah Rozee. Toronto's Sharon Moore has created Our Unfortunate Deaths, a trio for the company that is fiercely athletic, dark and quirky. Lastly, from the East, company Co-Artistic Director and founding member Carolle Crooks will premiere a new solo by Halifax's own Cory Bowles. Entitled Live from the Flash Pan, this is a work that is sure to appeal to anyone's inner rockstar. Intensely physical and emotionally rich, each work probes light and dark, vulnerability and power, the dramatic and the riotous. Sounding the emotional depths of the human experience, the dancers will tempt the audience to witness and play along. March 19, 2010, 8pm Neptune Studio Theatre, Halifax Box Office: (902) 429-7070 Tickets: $19.50 - $22.50 + HST (group rates available in person/by phone) **NOTE: if there is enough interest, I will call for group rate and reserve tickets but need solid 'Yes' to do so. Ã?Â? Ã?Â"A movement work in which the performers full attention is demanded to deliver precision, emotional fluidity and honest-to-goodness heart-pumping desperation.Ã?Â" Choreographer Sharon Moore Ã?Â? Ã?Â" creates unique and complete worlds and then opens peepholes for those who are brave enough to peer inÃ?Â" (Director/Juno Award Winner Gerry Atwell).
Anything Tim Burtin and Johhny Dep do together is always unique and putting them together with an update to the classic tale makes this movie a must see. This story is about a nineteen-year-old Alice as she returns to the whimsical world she first encountered as a young girl, reuniting with her childhood friends: the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Dormouse, the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, and of course, the Mad Hatter. Rotten Tomatoes Reviews, Trailers and Details Here I'll update with more accurate times once it is officially on the Empire schedule but the plan is to see the late afternoon matinee and then go out for supper after. After the Movie: We'll head over to East Side Marios for supper. I'll make reservations for us so please let me know in your RSVP if you will be coming to eat. Thank you.

Hi All My Cool Friends, Old and New: REGULAR FRIENDS INT`L (HALIFAX) MEETUPS HAVE RESUMED !!! ============================================= This is TonyRomeo, the founder and director of Friends Int`l (Halifax). Our meetups are back in action. I am hoping that more people will show commitment and interest. Our social club is different from the other social meetups in Halifax . We are not relying on outdoor adventures, boardgames or dining out experiences,although there is nothing wrong with that. Our main focus is on good conversations, companionship, support and lively intellectual discussions over a cup of coffee. But occasionally we might go to do other fun things such as movies, music, sight-seeing or share a meal together. This is a rather inexpensive way to meet new people and share ideas and experiences. The location will remain the same - Perks Coffee (by Ferry Terminal). The time will be the same - at 8 pm. The meeting fee of one dollar will be waived during this promotional period. But because of my new work schedule, the day of the week will be change to Sunday night ( No more Saturday nights). So, let`s make it a success in the coming year and spread the words. (Any last minute changes to the meetup will be posted at least one day before the meetup and under the - Talk About this Meetup below this section.) By the way, I am still looking for people who can help me to organize events or promote this social club. Don't Worry, Be Happy, :-) [masked] PS. ( I am the guy with a sport jacket ,spiky hair and reading a book. In case of rainy days, my clothing will be different. )

A talk about the unique history of the sail training yachts used by the Royal Canadian by Jeanne Church of the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. One of the most interesting but little known stories of the Royal Canadian Navy concerns the yachts, owned by the Navy that were used for sail training and also frequently entered in local and international yachting events such as the biennial Marblehead to Halifax Ocean Race and the Newport to Bermuda Ocean Race. Join Jeanne Church of the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic for a look at this fascinating component of the working life of the Royal Canadian Navy. Her father, CPO Charles Church skippered several of these yachts and Jeanne will also examine his career at the helm these sleek sailing vessels.

Thought we could use some pub nights on our calendar! I think most people are familiar with this pub. One of the owners of the Old Triangle started this place up a few years back - and never looked back! It's a definite favorite with the "Darksiders" ;-) but they also get people coming from the other side of the pond to enjoy the food, drinks & atmosphere. Here's a link to their site: Celtic Corner
