Trigger Warning (2024)

It's okay.
 

Brightburn (2019)

Didn't like this.
 

The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024)

Not bad.

It reminded me of An Unfinished Film (2024), in which actual social media posts were included, and the graphic novel Woman, Life, Freedom (2024), headed by Marjane Satrapi, which was sparked off by the death of Mahsa Amini, a young Iranian student arrested by the morality police in Tehran on 13th September 2022. 

Captain America: Brave New World (2025) - IMAX

Seeing Celestial Island in this was best! :)
 

The Gorge (2025)

Struggled to stay awake. Maybe if this was watched in a threatre, the experience may be different. Especially in regards to how the sound design will be appreciated. 

That aside, the plot is pretty basic and shallow. It's the black is black, white is white, evil is evil and noting else and needs to be destroyed type of film. Hard for me to like it since I was hardly conscious throughout. I kept drifting in and out of consciousness from about one third in.

Thought maybe more could be done with the premise. And Sigourney Weaver's character in the film reminds me of all that I didn't like about how Amanda Waller's character is depicted in a shallow way in the DC movies (and sometimes in the comics).

All We Imagine as Light (2024)

Not bad.

Gives me European art film vibes. Characters nicely fleshed out.
 

Stranger Eyes《默視錄》(2024)

Didn't really like.

The dialogue feels off. As much as I complain about Singapore cinemas screening HK films in Mandarin dubbed versions, hearing the dialogues in this film feels a bit like... is this how they actually speak in the SG I know?

The film has a big idea, which I think revolves around surveillance cameras and such, but it also misses big and winds up feeling shallow, with ideas and character designs that feel inadequately thought out.
 

YOLO《热辣滚烫》(2024)

Not bad.

The setup really takes a huge chunk of the film, and the emotional payoff that comes later really delivers. 

Pretty amazed by Jia Ling's performance. 
 

Back in Action (2025)

Generic Hollywood action comedy thriller with some entertaining moments. I don't dig the title of the film tho.  

Number 2《男儿王2》(2025)

Story was lacking a strong focus, and the bits on drag were pretty shallow. I did love Cassandra See's character in the film, as well as the two young Thai monks. 

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (2022)

A bit too whimsical for my liking.
 

An Unfinished Film 《一部未完成的电影》(2024)

Not bad.

Hard to contain everything about a pandemic in one film, but this does not try to. It just follows a film production as it gets caught up in an unexpected event.

Me thinks the focus on the human aspect is one of the stronger parts of the film. And it's a story worth telling. Especially since it's based on a recent pandemic that many may find recognizable.

Some bits in the later half felt a bit draggy. And I also thought one of the characters was a bit too positive (because I watched too many movies and am brainwashed to think that no one can be that good).

Conclave (2024)

Definitely entertaining and engaging, anchored with a strong performance from Ralph Fiennes. But the wrap up felt kind of convenient.

This film also reminded me of Boy From Heaven (2022), which also shined a spotlight on the process to find a new religious leader when the old one died.

And on another note, interesting one of the characters mentioned that certainty can be considered a sin.

Flight/Risk (2022)

Mostly told from the perspective of the whistle blower and a few others trying to take Boeing to task for safety lapses. And let's not forget the FAA which is suppose to regulate safety as well.

I guess one takeaway from this docu is that in corporate culture, it's all about numbers and how much you can maximize profits.

No More Bets《孤注一掷》(2023)

Nice!

And especially relevant today still.
 

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024)

Pretty much classic Wallace & Gromit. Did make me chuckle some.
 

Flow (2024)

Not bad! But I did struggle to keep awake during the second half. Love the story world. Love the visuals. Love the cinematography for the action sequences. This film lingered in my mind days after watching.
