Ever since audiences—at least according to myth—ran screaming from the premiere screening of Auguste and Louis Lumière’s 1895 short black-and-white silent documentary Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat, the histories of filmgoing and horror have been inextricably intertwined. Through the decades—and subsequent crazes for color and sound, stereoscopy and anamorphosis—since that train threatened to barrel into the front row, there’s never been a time when audiences didn’t clamor for the palpating fingers of fear.

The 78th annual Golden Globes take place virtually Sunday night on NBC with Amy Poehler and Tina Fey returning as hosts. “Mank,” “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” “The Crown,” “The Flight Attendant” and “Ted Lasso” are among the top nominees in the feature film and TV categories.
Also in contention is a movie called “Music” that was shot in 2017 and marks the directorial debut of the singer Sia. While it merits a mere 11% at Rotten Tomatoes, it reaped nominations for Best Musical/Comedy and star Kate Hudson. These bids harken back to 1982 when Pia Zadora won New Star of the Year for the well-stuffed turkey “Butterfly.” She also won the Razzie Award for the film which also starred Orson Welles.

In 1985, the year First Lady Nancy Reagan dropped a hyperactive “Just Say No” music video with Casey Kasem and Latoya Jackson, the DEA criminalized a new drug: ecstasy. “Mdma,” Angie Wang’s semi-autobiographical drama about her whirlwind freshman semester as the drug queen of a private college she couldn’t otherwise afford, plunges us into the crazy days of those last legal months when the chemistry student’s handmade purple pills were potent enough to derail her life. Wang has a silent cameo as a club czarina who gives her younger self (Annie Q.) a portentous look. Otherwise, “Mdma” is all excess: giant hair, stacks of silver bangles, dramatic flashbacks, and lots of shouting, though curiously Angie sounds less like an immigrant’s daughter from the Newark tenements than a Valley girl throwing a temper tantrum at the mall.

"I know how to take care of myself." Shout Studios has released an official trailer for a film titled Mdma, telling the mostly true story of a drug ring that a young Asian American woman ran in the 1980s. This semi-autobiographical period crime drama is both written and directed by Angie Wang, and it's about the story of Angie Wang and her gritty past - she was just Chinese-American woman "scrambling for status in a world of white, west-coast privilege." This was originally titled Cardinal X when it premiered at a few film festivals last year. While in college, and only at the age of 19, Angie became one of California's top dealers of the drug known as "Ecstasy", or "X", officially called Mdma. It's a popular party drug that became common often at raves and underground dance parties in the 1990s. Annie Q. stars as Angie, and the film's full cast includes Francesca Eastwood,...
