La baie des anges / Bay of Angels (1963)

Drama | Romance

This precisely wrought, emotionally penetrating romantic drama from Jacques Demy, set largely in the casinos of Nice, is a visually lovely but darkly realistic investigation into love and obsession. A bottle-blonde Jeanne Moreau is at her blithe best as a gorgeous gambling addict, and ClaudeMann is the bank clerk drawn into her risky world. Featuring a mesmerizing score by Michel Legrand, BAY OF ANGELS is among Demy's most somber works.

Starring: Jeanne Moreau, Claude Mann, Paul Guers, Henri Nassiet, André Certes, Nicole Chollet

Miss Hong Kong Pageant (2014) HDTV 720p x264-CHDTV

Miss Hong Kong Pageant 2014 (TV 2014)

Awards

The 2014 Miss Hong Kong pageant came to a conclusion on Aug. 31. In the end #15 Veronica Shiu was crowned the winner. Veronica won the Miss Friendship award before the semi-final and also edged out #3 Linna Huynh by 1 vote to win the Miss Photogenic Award on Finals night. After the Finalists came out in swimsuits (which featured really cool slow-motion videos of the contestants in the backdrop), Q&A and various rounds, including an ice-skating in gown (Veronica was the only one that looked comfortable on the ice), the judges selected #7 Katherine Ho, #9 Erin Wong and #15 Veronica Shiu as the Top 3. The home audience/viewers then got to vote for the final placements of the Top 3. It came as a surprise to many including the hosts DoDo Cheng, Wong Cho Nam, Nat Chan, Eric Tsang that #3 Linna and #11 Sofiee did not make the cut as they were favorites. To be honest, favorite #11 Sofiee had an average performance. #3 Linna had a good performance, definitely improved a lot since Semi-final. The night, however, truly belonged to Veronica who shined in every aspect. I still think the Top 3 should have been #3, #11, #15 although #7 also had a good performance. I was surprised that #9 Erin Wong got 1st Runner-up, she even got many 'dislikes' in the Top 3 round voted by the audience, whereas Katherine and Veronica both got many 'likes'. There was no Top 5 this year and also for the first time the winner also bagged Miss Friendship & Miss Photogenic. Grace Wong came close in 2007 when she won those awards and came in 2nd.
