Everest (2015)

Watched in IMAX 3D - Nice! Not sure if this warrants a viewing in 3D but it certainly didn't hurt. But a big screen is probably the best way to catch this.

Woman in Gold (2015)

Watched on a plane where the image and sound weren't the best. This comes across as decent generic fare. Helen Mirren is oh so watchable.

Little Big Master - 五個小孩的校長 (2015)

Nice! (and the image and sound on the plane were good too!)

Sicario (2015)

This film paints the world to be a fuckin' dark place.

3688 - 想入飞飞 (2015)

I was hoping that this will turn out to be good but the story was pretty weak. IMHO, Royston has yet to prove to be a strong storyteller when it comes to the feature length format. The cast performances weren't strong enough to make an otherwise weak story (and script) captivating. The musical numbers didn't really help to energise the film enough. Which is a real shame, because the poster, the ideas and the trailer all look pretty good. But the actual product turned out to be a pretty dull affair.

Assassination (2015)

Nice!

The Assassin - 刺客聂隐娘 (2015)

IMHO - this is a pretty brave film. I began struggling to stay awake after the first 10 minutes (and I did succumb a few times along the way). I've never been more aware of cricket sounds or birds chirping, and it's been a while since I watched a film where the actors do a lot of internal emoting. You can't go wrong with Shu Qi. She's hot. Dialogue is sparse and the few fight scenes are brief and bear little resemblance to the types found in more commercially oriented films. I suspect a second viewing will probably be needed for me to appreciate this film better. That said, I won't recommend this to a mainstream audience.
