The Man on the Other Side (2019)

I kind of saw the potential that this could be as a love story. Unfortunately, the romance aspect comes across as a wee bit weak, IMHO. That said, as a debut feature, and a drama thriller, it's actually not too bad. Dig the score. And Mari Bensel managed to command the screen as Sophie Zimmermann pretty nicely. 

Geylang《芽籠》(2022)

Mark Lee's performance is what I enjoyed most about this film. I thought the plot dragged the ending out a bit longer than it should. IMHO, it's nice to have a Singapore film like this that's targeted at the mainstream. Love some of the black humor.

Reminded me a bit of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillip's Criminals graphic novel series as that one also focused on criminal characters. Also reminded me of Wild Things at times, when I felt certain plot decisions were made for the sake of creating drama without more in depth development. 

Bros (2022)

Luke MacFarlane provided the eye candy for me in this one. I generally enjoyed it though I though some scenes went on for a bit too long with too much yak yak. Love the appearance by Ts Madison. Good to see Symone too, tho she was mainly wallpaper and didn't do much.  

Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)

I was mostly entertained. But why are figures from Greek mythology played by actresses who are of different ethnicity? And I didn't really buy how Diana would be all smiley at the end when she makes her entrance. It kind of diminishes the gravity of why she was there in the first place (though it was nice to see her). Love the end credits with links to the last film; and the JSA! And Skittles!
 

John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)

Essentially an action choreography showcase. None to shabby. Enjoyed it but did dozed off a bit in the middle. 

The King of Musang King《猫山王中王》(2023)

A bit of a yawner, as I don't really connect with the story.  

The Menu (2022)

Very tightly crafted thriller with great performances. Loved it, despite some probable suspension of disbelief.
