First Man (2018)

Didn't engage me as much as I thought I would. Felt the score was good. Claire Foy's performance too. Some poignant scenes, but somehow I couldn't really connect afterwards.

I Miss You When I See You - 看見你便想念你 (2018)

Loved it. Performances was top notch. Direction self-assured. Might just be one of my favorites of the year.

Venom (2018)

Generic entertainment. IMHO, not the disaster some critics paint it to be.

Shadow 影 (2018)

Nice! Beautifully crafted film that's lushfully slow. Emotions are evident but kept at a distance. IMHO, one of the year's best.

Of Love & Law (2017)

Watched this after along day of work and found myself struggling to stay awake after awhile. This docu is loosely pieced together and didn't really engage me much. However, I did appreciate the glimpse into the lives of the featured individuals. Tickled by the artist Rokudenashiko. Found some soundbites from a fostered person near the end poignant.

A Star is Born (2018)

First bit got to me. Then it became kind of boring. So I guess this is not my cup of tea on first watch. Loved some songs. Didn't care for some others. In fact, I stopped caring for the characters after awhile. Still, I think this movie carries some punch with strong performances, particularly from Bradley Cooper.

Searching (2018)

Gimmicky idea supported with strong storytelling. Reminds me of A Quiet Place in terms of what a parent will do for the child. Possibly one of my favoritest of the year.

The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018)

This movie is slow, and falls into my personal category of films define as art.

Some nice bits. I liked how the characters felt real. There was an issue that is being addressed here. Overall, it was all right, but not a slam dunk. IMHO.
