Rigor Mortis - 僵尸 (2013)

Visually stunning. Not bad, but i won't say I like it 100% either. Actors are generally good though.

Everybody's Business - 人人有份 (2013)

A waste of some of Singapore's better comic talents. Essentially a corporate video with nary a thread of story. And the poster is horrible, IMHO.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)

Competent entertainment, but I'm not sure I really like the story. Love the lead and the 'fire' dress!

Enough Said (2013)

This is really nice! (Or maybe I'm getting older so stuff like this appeals more to me)

Captain Phillips (2013)

Not too bad. A bit long though. In a twisted way, this could be seen as a prequel to Aliens, in which leading nations start to become cold calculating compartments, and those who are too poor are left to fend for themselves in the fringes. But it's the first time I left a show before the credits finished as a friend felt motion sickness while watching the movie.

3 Peas in a Pod - 他她他 (2013)

Setup's pretty weak. First hour just meanders. Plus, the Korean actor seems miscast. And pretty as the female fresh face is, she doesn't seem to have the acting chops required for the role, but then her character just fades into the background before the final curtain call anyway.

Basically, the script needs a major overhaul, IMHO. But if it's meant to be some bland teen flick, I think it falls flat too.

Pee Mak - พี่มาก..พระโขนง (2013)

Don't really like. Heavy on gags but thin on plot and characters.
