Dream Stall《梦想小店》(2026)

Not too bad. 

I didn't care too much about some of the casting and the plot was basically formulaic and shallow, and the romance angle felt blah. But I thought the lead actress was watchable enough, much of the dialogue felt more colloquial than many local flicks, and I thought the music inserts ain't too bad. Mark Lee was a good supporting cast, and the Jack Neo bit was a hoot.

The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025)

I wasn't as engaged as I thought I would be, and I wondered if it was because I found the narrative in terms of the dramatic recreation a bit lacking in terms of the complexities that surround this tragic event. 

Also, have those of us who are insulated from these circumstances become so numb to such events that we now find it hard to care more? 

Colony (2026)

Not bad. One of the more entertaining thrillers I've watched this year.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026)

Very sugar. But not bad.
 

Balls Up (2026)

Kind of tired when I watched this and dozed off a bit. The lead characters don't really engage me, and the plot feels like it's drifting aimlessly quite a bit. Several jokes sound like they read better than they were executed. Loved the reference to Cocaine Bear. And Sacha Baon Cohen's performance is one of the better things about this.

Apex (2026)

Story's kind of basic. I'm more curious about how the action sequences were pieced together. 

Amoeba (2025)

I have mixed thoughts about this. Maybe there were themes I zeroed in on that didn't feel developed enough for me. Or maybe some bits felt unrealistic. But these didn't keep me from enjoying the film. Or feeling intrigued and curious about some of the production processes. I loved it when one of the characters said she once found a fossil of a merlion. Haha!
