i enjoyed the film. i thought it was a proper bond film - glamorous locations, beautifully filmed, exactly the kind of opening sequence you expect in a bond film, stunts, gadgets, etc. just felt the plot wasn' t great and in general, without being able to quite put the finger on exactly why, as you say not quite as good a film as say casino royale. and it is very long for a film with a relatively simple plot .

at its best, invitation only smartly plays with society’s obsession with the wealthy and the sense of unease over the widening gap between the elite and everybody else. the film effectively uses model liz and japanese av idol ozawa as disposable playthings and male model huang as a young and powerful man of pedigree with a hint of menace .

by invitation only' is a brilliant, and utterly unique examination of class and race privilege, and shows us just how deeply embedded are the structures of entitlement and expectation for members of the ruling class, not only in new orleans, frankly, but nationwide. most importantly, rebecca snedeker explores the ways in which this system not only dehumanizes those who stand outside of it, but even those for whom its benefits were intended. for those who seek an understanding of what was broken with the american class and race systems, long before hurricane katrina,' by invitation only' is a fantastic place to start .

i take it back. if you' re going to read invitation only expecting a murder mystery, don' t bother. nothing happens until literally the last couple of pages, and you can get away with reading those 5 pages and skipping straight to the next book. as a result, much like private i can only review invitation only as a piece of chick lit, and in that respect it' s quite fucking boring. despite blackmail plots, lavish parties, an enigmatic new character and final confirmation of thomas' death, this book

this film directed by kevin ko rings of other film similarities though it still entertains. the torture scenes are appropriately hard to watch and are emphasized to show the corruption of the group. the purpose of the film comes out in a struggle and conquer battle of the elite over the weaker. wade gets his chance to show some balls to fight for his life and prove that the privileged are not above pure will power .

well, first thing' s first. you should all know that this is not your standard asian horror movie. it is filmed as a straight slasher. seriously, it feels like an american film but with asian actors. so don' t expect anything like
ringu
nor anything like
audition
, because this film is completely different. the premise of the film has been done to death
get invited to party. killer on the loose. try and escape party
, and although this one tries to throw a few curveballs and keep you guessing, the twists are fairly predictable. the real redeeming feature of this film is how likeable the two lead characters are. in a lot of american slashers, the characters are so dislikeable, that you are actually rooting for the bad guys, but this film really does have you rooting for the good guys. there is some suspense, a couple of well - timed sharp shocks, a good amount of gore, some nudity and even a pretty decent car chase. yes, the film has it' s flaws and plotholes and the final scene is actually quite awful and extremely rushed, but for the most part this film is a good way to spend 90 minutes on a quiet evening and is definately worth a look .
in a continuation of its bid to touch on, be relevant to, and experiment with all areas of the entertainment industry, youtube will have a massive presence at the 2014 sundance film festival .
cir panel and happy hour (jan. 20; 6 - 8pm mst) – join cir’s (center for investigative reporting) stephen talbot, senior producer for video and the i files channel on youtube, as he moderates a discussion that will explore the intersection of cinema and journalism in the youtube age. by invitation only .
between 1977 and 1983 the japanese government estimates that between 20 and 100 people were seized by spies under the control of leader kim il - sung. the title of the book comes from the places they were forced to live, cut off from ordinary citizens in “invitation - only” zones to cloak the prisons with an air of exclusivity .
this film is a great teaching tool for introducing students to the concept of white privilege. the documentary also provides rich material for an analysis of the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and class .
cambridge event was fantastic as well. red carpet, picture with a db5, free champagne and an orchestra of aston martins arriving and departing the venue. oh and the film wasn' t bad either .
the youtube brand will most noticeably be seen on the sundance as the presenting sponsor of the sundance film festival short film program, whose nominated artists and entries you can check out on the program’s dedicated youtube channel. on saturday, january 25, 2014, the youtube audience award will also be presented to one of 15 short films in competition that receives the most amount of views throughout the duration of the festival .
a pretty decent film that serves up a helping of brutality for the masses. audiences will relate to the storyline by association and a cast that makes it all work. a enjoyed the film and thought it filled the viewing cycle pretty nicely. most of the actors are first timers, that did fine out of the ball park. slasher fare moments might drag a bit but the story changes help move that along .
rebecca snedeker is an emmy award - winning documentary filmmaker and writer whose work supports human rights, creative expression and her native city, new orleans. her new day films, “by invitation only” and “land of opportunity” rupture clichés about life in the south. snedeker recently co - authored “unfathomable city: a new orleans atlas, ” a book of 22 imaginative maps and accompanying essays, with rebecca salnit. snedeker serves on the board of video veracity (a fiscal agent for independent media projects) and is an active member of new day films. formerly, she served on the boards of the new orleans film society and patois: the new orleans international human rights film festival. snedeker received her b. a. in fine arts from wesleyan university in connecticut .
reed brennan is now part of the billings girls but her troubles are far from over. a handsy, bordering stalkerish guy enters the picture. her new roommate natalie blackmails her with incriminating photos. her first ever friend at easton is crushing on the guy who happens to be reed' s only ticket to the legacy - an exclusive event, where thomas, who disappeared, may or may not attend. invitation only was as addictive and easy to read as private. the story follows on seamlessly from private. major
five people blag invites to an exclusive high society party where they fall victim to a masked killer. billed as â? ? taiwanâ? ? s first slasher filmâ? ?, invitation only actually most resembles hostel, but unlike most of the entries in the â? ? torture - pornâ? ? sub - genre at least attempts to frame its gory set - pieces within something resembling a plot. thereâ? ? s little original here, but the action is suitably nasty and the film largely succeeds due to having a pair of likeable leads who you care about .
here’s where i started to squirm…. and i kept squirming uneasily for the entire rest of the film. luckily… while nasty in it’s implications, most of the torture scenes are relatively tame compared to some of the other films in this genre. that, and you actually do become sympathetic for poor wade and nice girl hitomi…. you really do root for them and want them to survive. for me at least, that’s the only saving grace for a film of this type. well…. that and you really want to see them punish those evil rich snobs…. and this film doesn’t fail us there. we do get to see wade get even…. and in a most satisfying fashion. but… will he and hitomi escape this hell and end up together? ummm? well…. . it’s not really that sort of movie…. .
invitation only, is the second book of the private series. reed is now a billing girl and is accepted to be part of the group but she still has to do tasks for them in order to fully belong to their clique. thomas disappearing is starting to make reed and the others worried and an investigation is taking place in the whole school. a prestigious party named the

once i got my hands on this film i couldn' t wait to pop it in my vcr and put my hands on myself. this was the first porn i have ever seen and i have been a fan ever since. of course i ended up lending this tape to a

, (after i had gotten hold of another one) and i have never seen it again. however, the first time i previewed this flick i exploded and realized exactly what everyone in the film was trying to do. i will always remember ron jeremy' s hot tub seen. what happens to the girl is real. treat yourself to some hot tub sex, or watch the movie, and you will find out for yourself. ron (and his woman) also intrigue themselves in a little magical dollar bill trick at the end. a lot of my unborn children thank this film for not making me their father! thanks
invitation only
you were my true first - way more exciting and memorable then that high school girl that broke my heart .
the invitation presents audiences with characters trying to move on from terrible experiences. it also presents two different ways of approaching the healing process, and the failing of a community to support those in pain .
starring japanese av cutie maria ozawa,' invitation only' is about five young strangers who are unexpectedly invited to an extravagant and exclusive party at which they have the times of their lives, mingling with the rich and the beautiful. the start is excellent - lots of seriously cute taiwanese girls and two of them even get a little frisky - damn, i would love to have been at that party !
the big caveat: this is taiwan' s first attempt at such a film, and they gleefully do their best to deliver the blood, gore, sadism and other grindhouse pleasures that genre fans require. director and co - editor kevin ko and his
the remaining four become the prey of a vicious and relentless killer for the entertainment of their sadistic hosts. as the night progresses, the only ambition they have left is to get out alive .
director ko caught the attention of local film circles with his 2004 short horror flick the print (鬼印), which circulated widely on the internet while he was still a college student. in his debut feature, ko follows the trend sparked by saw (2004) and hostel (2005) and conjures up visceral and frightful experiences through graphic portrayals of gore and violence. the narration is, however, carried out in a plain and sometimes uninspired manner that kills the suspense in the first third of the film .
but that “decidedly less commercial” sentiment applies only to what’s being shown on screen. the streets of park city will undoubtedly be inundated with extravagant setups meant to market entertainment entities and recognizable high - end consumer brands. and in the midst of them all will be youtube on main street, the world’s largest video sharing site’s 11 - day utah outpost, hosting “must - see panels, happy hours, film receptions, screenings, talks, and dj sets. ”
taiwan' s first slasher film is an entertaining if unremarkable thriller with the gore, torture, blood, sex and nudity that fans likely require. not the equal of its hollywood counterparts, but given the resources involved, this is a perfectly serviceable genre effort .
new for april 9, 2017 - added the results of the 36th hong kong film awards. - added the results of the 23rd hong kong film critics society awards. - added reviews of see you tomorrow (2016), the great wall (2016), soul mate (2016), i am not madame bovary (2016), l for love, l for lies too (2016), sword master (2016), sky on fire (2016), mcdull: rise of the rice cooker (2016) .
this party is secretive, guests only, fully decked out and full of high rollers, big execs, ceo’s and money spenders. it also is well stocked with quite the supply of hotties who are just glad to be there and help into the indulgences. i was quickly reminded of the film “eyes wide shut” that also had a similar situation mid film. i’m guessing by now that these kind of parties do exist for those who are lucky or can afford it. enter in wade chen, a common folk kind of young man who seems to be somewhat taken advantage by in his day to day. this includes a sort of verbal abuse that gets inflicted on him by his supervisor who summons him to call on his days off .
to be honest, taiwan hasn' t given the world much in terms of decent films unlike its neighbouring countries, but judging by this film, the country has kicked off with a flying start, and as a fan of asian cinema, i was not disappointed .
next we meet our hero, part time delivery boy and chauffeur for giant construction corporation the weida group, wade (played by bryant chang) accidentally catches a rich client, mr. yang (played by jerry huang), having wild sex in the backseat of his limo with supermodel dana (played by japanese av porn star maria ozawa). in a lame attempt to buy wade’s silence about the incident, yang gives him an invitation to attend a special “invitation only” party in his place masquerading as his cousin. wade figures it’s a good deal…. . and is ever so glad yang is willing to let the whole incident pass that he jumps at the chance to go .
an insatiably curious lil' kitten with admittedly odd tastes in film and music, addicted to spicy food and berry wine coolers... . generally playful but with a surprising fierceness when annoyed. but don' t worry... she' s had all her shots !
the story picks up when the psychopathic killer begins to hack his way through his victims. with a stomach - churning shot in which wade cuts off his own thumb and an extended torture scene where holly is mutilated by a knife, this slasher film is guaranteed to make audiences fidget in their seats .
six thousand miles west of california, the mariana islands are american territory; but after generations of loyalty, the people of guam and the northern marianas still remain second - class us citizens. following the personal stories of four indigenous island leaders, this provocative film explores the history of american colonization in the…

nguyen for urltoken invitation only, the second novel in the private series, begins where we left off in the first book. thomas went missing, one of the billings girls was expelled, and reed brennan finally moved into the dorm she had her eye on when she first came to the private school. but even though reed was in the billings house, that didn' t exactly mean she was in the clique. turns out, the billings girls had a little hazing present for reed
it' s been compared to' hostel', but i wasn' t too keen on that as there were not enough genuinely scary moments plus that film lacked eye - candy too. but on the serious side and going back to the movie itself, there are lots of shocks and twists to keep you wanting more .
oh yes, i’m officially sucked in to the private series. invitation only is the second book in the private series and now that i’m finished, i’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of book 3 at my library. i’ve already ordered the 4th book, so i can keep reading once i finish the next one. invitation only continues the story of reed brennan who has just been invited by the fabulous billings girls to be a part of their inner circle and live in billings hall. reed is excited because now, she’s in! little does she know that being asked to move into billings hall was just to get her closer to the billings girls to do their chores and be available at their every whim. still, reed is thrilled because she wants so badly to be popular. in book 1, reed’s boyfriend thomas goes missing. book 2 starts off with reed thinking about where he could possibly be and the police coming in for an investigation. now that she’s a billings girl, reed has a new roommate: natasha. natasha is angry because reed is only her new roommate because her previous roommate leanne got kicked out of easton academy for “cheating” though natasha thinks the billings girls were behind the whole thing. natasha blackmails reed with incriminating photos from a party and asks her to snoop around the billings girls rooms to find any evidence that the got leanne kicked out. boy troubles, friend troubles, and classes are not the only problem reed has. there is an invitation only party that reed desperately wants to go to because she thinks thomas will be there. the legacy party is epic in easton history and reed will do anything to get an invite. i loved this book even more than the first installment. now that i know all of the characters and the back story, i’m intrigued to find out more about their lives and who they really are. this book kept me on the edge of my seat as there was a bit of a mystery to be solved. after reading the second book, i’m a certified kate brian fan. i love her writing style and the way she tells the story .
sequels can often be a bore but in the case of the second novel in the best - selling private series by kate brian, it' s even better than our introduction to easton. invitation only picks up immediately where private ended and toys with us as we grow more and more captivated to the now - luxurious everyday life of reed brennan. just a bit of time she' s spent at her new, ultra - exclusive boarding school, reed has found herself as the newest member of the campus' most notorious housing department: bill
is a low - budget affair; the film was shot on high - def and the art direction is only a step up from
converted warehouse
. still, the gore effects are well executed and the filmmakers even went the extra distance, getting organic insects for an icky sequence where bryant chang squeezes the entrails out of a poor cockroach. people get beheaded, stabbed, scissored, stapled and more in this ninety - minute gore - a - thon, and while it' s not as over - the - top as its hollywood counterparts, the film does provide that tension - through - torture fix. the pov handheld camera effectively builds towards the bloody payoffs, and the attempts at social commentary are entertaining if not incisive. there are also some gross laughs and a gratuitous maria ozawa sex scene to charm the masses – that is, if her dozens of av films have yet to provide fans with their bump - and - grind ozawa fix .

after reading the first book of the private series, i became hooked onto it like some sort of drug. i immediately began reading invitation only by kate brian, since i fell in love with the first book. invitation only is the continuation of reed brennan' s new life at her boarding school, easton academy. when her boyfriend goes missing, reed hopes he' ll make a grand appearance at the highly exclusive halloween party of the year, the legacy. in order to get an invite, she leads on a guy who' s in love with her, while having to deal with a blackmailing roommate and another possible crush at hand. my favorite quote from this book was ,
and just like that, my heart flipped. flipped. for josh hollis .
i liked this quote because throughout the entire book, reed was confused about her feelings for thomas pearson and walt whittaker, but in those three lines her feelings became clear for the reader and reed brennan herself. she realized she truly does like josh more than just a friend. i really enjoyed the author' s writing style and i only wish there were more books like this because with all the suspense, plot twists, and cliff hangers, it was impossible to put the book down. i would recommend this book to literally anyone and everyone because it truly is an amazingly - written series which is worth the read of all 14 books and i can' t wait to read the next 12 books .

has the signifiers that one expects – defenseless victims, severed limbs, buckets of blood, unflinching gore, gratuitous nudity – and qualifies as a perfectly serviceable entry in this notorious genre. unfortunately, the film also has some of the genre' s negative signifiers, like bad dialogue, bad acting, and a premise that' s less chilling than it is familiar, especially since this nihilistic genre has become so firmly established as a mainstream guilty pleasure .
