What does a working girl have to do to get ahead, when all she has in her favor is an incredible face, a lavish wardrobe, and a pair of legs to make any executive wolf howl? Loretta Young juggles two egotistical swains, while Joan Blondell shines as an enticing all-pro homewrecker.

The paths of a renegade cop (Tse), a rookie police officer (Chan) and a veteran detective (Yue) converge with explosive results, as they each take on their most deadly assignment to date: the arrest of Hong Kong’s most lethal mercenary gang and their ruthless leader, played by Kung Fu impresario Wu Jing. The city becomes a battleground, as both sides break all the rules to defy each other in the ultimate fight for survival, justice and revenge!
Director Benny Chan has made some of the best action-packed police dramas in modern Eastern cinema – Man Wanted, Big Bullet, Gen-x Cops, and the superb New Police Story. With Invisible Target he re-teams with Nicholas Tse for what may be his most gloriously over-the-top, action-filled extravangza ever! And like New Police Story,...

Welcome back! Dead of Summer Season 1 Episode 2 saw a glimpse into Alex's past, while a cult showed up at Camp Stillwater, and someone was kicked out for unwillingly embarking on an acid trip.
Join TV Fanatics Carissa Pavlica, Allison Nichols, Yana Grebeyuk, and Caralynn Lippo as they discuss the consequences of Alex's Russian twist, plus, find out who the interesting stand out of the episode was.
We got a sneak peek at Alex's past. React.
Carissa: Dude is not a nice guy. I was kind of surprised that his story was so...mean. He's a thug at heart. A thug in madras shorts. His story didn't scream '80s to me, though. None of their stories are screaming '80s.
Allison: I was surprised by his past in a good way. I wasn't expecting the immigrant storyline. It made Alex a lot more interesting to me. I also don't trust him at all now.

The Warner Archive has released two more volumes in their “Forbidden Hollywood” series. Marijuana, Lesbians -And-William Powell speaks Yiddish!
Forbidden Hollywood-Volumes 4 & 5 have been released by Warner Archive Collection. I have been a big fan of this series since The VHS/laser disc days. These pre-code films are a hell-of-a-lot-of-fun to watch, and no one did them better than Warner Brothers. As my cinema guru , Tom Dillon ["The Sage of Grammercy Park"] once said: “You wanna take a shower after watching a good pre-Cceighte Warner Bros. film!” These 8 films are great examples of that genre.
Volume 4-all 1932
Jewell Robbery-William Powell and Kay Francis star in this story of a high society jewel thief who uses marijuana, amongst other things, to get what he wants. Directed by William Dieterle
Lawyer Man- William Powell and Joan Blondell. Powell stars as a lawyer who workds his way up from the lower east side to Park Ave.
