This is the kind of contemplative cinema that is rare here, so kudos to first-time feature director Wong Chen-Hsi for her dreamy Innocents, which centers on two lost teens trying to find meaning in a harsh adult world. Filmed on-site at the North South corridor of the old KTM railway tracks, alongside many decrepit buildings around the city, the film maintains a quiet pace throughout, keenly filmed by American cinematographer Joseph White, whose beautiful visuals buoy the film.

Stay at Grand Park City Hall between Sep 19 and 22 (from $450 a night) and get $50 dining credit. Also, visit The Bar at Coleman and get your second bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label at half price.

The Purge

Starring: 
Ethan Hawke
Lena Headey
Directed By: 
James Demonaco

Probably one of the most boring and unoriginal thrillers we’ve seen in years, The Purge makes you want to do exactly just that. A supposed morality piece about the state of violence in America, everything about this thriller rings false. From Ethan Hawke’s semi-heroic turn as a steadfast family man who will do anything to protect his wife and kids to a truly ridiculous premise, the film is unredeemable.
