When it comes to great movies, crime does pay. In September, Filmfest HD features a festival of seven great detective, conspiracy, crime and coutroom dramas. Billy Wilder’s adaptation of Agatha Christie's play, Witness for The Prosecution (1957)is one of the best cinematic courtroom dramas of all time and features a cast including Marlene Dietrich, Charles Laughton, Tyrone Power and Elsa Lanchester. The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) stars Steve McQueen as a millionaire playboy who steals a priceless work of art and then strikes up a fiery romance with the brilliant insurance investigator played by Faye Dunaway. Banned in the Soviet Bloc and suppressed in the U.S<ST1:p</ST1:p after John F. Kennedy’s assassination, The Manchurian Candidate (1962), directed by John Frankenheimer,presents Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Janet Leigh and Angela Lansbury in a brilliant and controversial psychological thriller about the brainwashing of Korean War POW’s. Chinatown (1974), starring Jack Nicholson as Jake Gittes, is Roman Polanski’s noir masterpiece about a private investigator who slowly uncovers a vast conspiracy centering on water management, political corruption, land use and real estate, and finally murder. Other films in the festival include: Who’s Harry Crumb?, Under Suspicion and The Proposal. <O:p</O:p

KUNG FU HD<O:p</O:p
Kung Fu Allstars: Chow Yun-Fat <O:p</O:p
Beginning on September 6 at <st1:time w:st="on" Hour="20" Minute="00">8:00pm</st1:time> ET on <st1:stockticker w:st="on">DISH</st1:stockticker> channel 9479<O:p</O:p
Chow Yun-Fat, one of the <ST1:pAsia</ST1:place’s greatest stars, is best known for his roles in Ang Lee’s Academy Award-winning epic Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and the classic action film by John Woo A Better Tomorrow. He started making feature films in 1977, but his big break came in 1982, when director Ann Hui teamed with him in The Story of Woo Viet. The film became a milestone in <ST1:pHong Kong'</ST1:ps cinema history as the first serious film to be both a critical and commercial success. It also established Chow as a movie star of the first magnitude. In 1986, John Woo cast him in A Better Tomorrow, which took in 35 million <ST1:place w:st="on">Hong Kong</ST1:place> dollars and cemented his career as top notch actor. Chow's portrayals of a “killer with a conscience” made him the icon of a genre and inspired a new wave of action filmmaking. From slapstick comedy to action, romance to drama, Chow Yun-Fat is a talent to be reckoned with. Wednesdays throughout the month you can see six of his films on Kung Fu HD beginning with Prisoner on Fire 1 (9/6), followed by Prisoner on Fire 2 (9/6), City of Fire (9/13), Flaming Brothers (9/20), Tiger on Beat (9/27) and Triads: The Inside Story (9/27).

Art in Progress: Urs Fischer
Urs Fischer has been described as someone who ?violates the order of our established reality?. Art in Progress follows the artist from his New York studio to Rotterdam, where he covers a vast museum space with mirrors and then fills that space with impossible constructions. A man of excess who does things seemingly ?because he can,? Fischer?s bold three-dimensional work has an immediate visual appeal while layered with satire and hidden meaning.
