Blueback (2022) 71% 3/5 EDIT “It is a universal all-ages call to environmental activism, because the passion of just one girl does make a difference.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Mar 31, 2023 Full Review Kill Boksoon (2023) 79% 3/5 EDIT “The betrayals build to a bar-room ambush of shattering martial arts violence. ” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Mar 31, 2023 Full Review Someone Great (2019) 84% EDIT “Here is another cute romantic comedy on Netflix worth watching.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Jun 14, 2019 Full Review Rampant (2018) 62% 2.5/5 EDIT “The problem here is that so much attention is spent on the period setting that the zombies often feel like an afterthought, when they really should have been crucial to the story.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Feb 22, 2019 Full Review One Cut of the Dead (2017) 100% 4.5/5 EDIT “It is an ultra low-budget Japanese film featuring a zombie apocalypse and it is often very, very funny.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Jan 23, 2019 Full Review More Than Blue (2018) 2.5/5 EDIT “Given how unlikable K is, this reviewer only finds such dialogue puke-worthy.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Jan 4, 2019 Full Review Master Z: Ip Man Legacy (2018) 92% 2.5/5 EDIT “The movie may be titled The Ip Man Legacy, but it really should have given Tin Chi the chance to shine on his own.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Jan 4, 2019 Full Review Second Act (2018) 44% 2/5 EDIT “Feels like it is stuck in the late 1990s.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Jan 4, 2019 Full Review Last Letter (2018) 78% 3/5 EDIT “While he may not have managed to inject this movie with an authentic Chinese flavour, what he gets right, as expected, is the tone.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Dec 7, 2018 Full Review Life Itself (2018) 13% 2.5/5 EDIT “Fogelman understands human emotions and relationships, even if this film gets so tragic at times that it borders on the morbid and ridiculous.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Dec 7, 2018 Full Review Unstoppable (2018) 80% 3/5 EDIT “What is also thrilling are the moments where Ji-soo actively thinks of ways to escape and is unafraid to stand up for the other kidnapped women.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Dec 7, 2018 Full Review Venom (2018) 31% 2/5 EDIT “This mess of an origin story does not deserve the brilliance that is Tom Hardy.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Oct 10, 2018 Full Review The Negotiation (2018) 60% 4/5 EDIT “Hyun is so good here that he threatens to steal the limelight from Son, although she is equally terrific in her role.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Oct 4, 2018 Full Review Destination Wedding (2018) 51% 2.5/5 EDIT “Much of the film is laugh-out-loud funny - there are plenty of verbal misunderstandings, while the lanky 1.87m-tall male lead delivers on the physical gags. But the small bittersweet moments throughout their relationship are what make this movie shine.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Sep 25, 2018 Full Review Along With the Gods: The Last 49 Days (2018) 44% 2.5/5 EDIT “The main problem is how overstuffed the story is, as if the director was trying to cram whatever he could not before into the sequel all at once.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Aug 29, 2018 Full Review May We Chat (2014) 2.5/5 EDIT “Too quickly afterwards, however, the movie heads straight into melodrama, losing any of that edge that it had set up in the beginning.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Aug 24, 2018 Full Review Filial Party (2014) 2/5 EDIT “The premise of the film barely stands.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Aug 24, 2018 Full Review A Fantastic Ghost Wedding (2014) 3/5 EDIT “Hong Kong actress [Sandra] Ng, best known for her loony comic roles, carries the entire movie here, turning in a fine performance that is equal parts restrained and downright eccentric.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Aug 24, 2018 Full Review I Fine... Thank You Love You (2014) 3/5 EDIT “Thai film-makers, already well known for their horror flicks, are proving to be just as adept in the romantic comedy genre.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Aug 24, 2018 Full Review Walking on Sunshine (2014) 31% 2.5/5 EDIT “An idyllic seaside holiday, a bright-eyed ingenue, a cheery retro soundtrack - all incorporated into a big-hearted musical. Sounds familiar?” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Aug 24, 2018 Full Review Brotherhood of Blades (2014) 4/5 EDIT “Drama aside, the wuxia action sequences - choreographed by Lin Sang (Red Cliff, 2009) - are truly satisfying to watch, crucially without the aid of lavish visual effects or fanciful weaponry.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Aug 24, 2018 Full Review Iceman (2014) 17% 2.5/5 EDIT “Hopefully, the second instalment of this two-parter film, slated for release later this year, has got the puerile humour out of its system to focus on only the action.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Aug 24, 2018 Full Review Obsessed (2014) 2.5/5 EDIT “Take Song out of the equation and the movie is just a typical romantic melodrama, the type that South Korea has been churning out by the dozens every year for the big and, especially, small screens.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Aug 24, 2018 Full Review The White Haired Witch of Lunar Kingdom (2014) 13% 2/5 EDIT “Had these sub-plots been spread out over multiple episodes of a TV series, they may have seen more life.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Aug 24, 2018 Full Review Temporary Family (2014) 3/5 EDIT “How nice it is to see Nick Cheung do a proper comedy again.” – The Straits Times (Singapore) Aug 24, 2018 Full Review
