Ah Boys to Men 2 - 新兵正传 II (2013)

It's like watching a 2-hour corporate video disguised as a movie with some decent performances and scenes that do not add up to a bigger picture. Overall, this film left me with a bad post-viewing aftertaste.

The Grandmaster - 一代宗师 (2013)

A beautiful film.

Now I'm curious to watch the Berlin edit.

Wished I had caught the Cantonese version though. :(

Hitchcock (2012)

Nice! One of the most entertaining dramas I've watched in awhile. Hopkins sizzles in his role, and so does Mirren. Love the script too!

A Royal Affair - En kongelig affære (2012)

Not what I'd call essential viewing, but not bad either.

The Master (2012)

Amazingly boring yarn that's probably the worst cinematic viewing experience I had since Greedy Ghost.

Amazingly, no one in the audience was talking throughout the whole film - which I appreciated.

Quartet (2012)

One of the nicest light dramas I've watched it a while. The cast is one of the strongest reasons to catch this, especially Pauline Collins, who lights up every scene she appears in. The ending, while not what I expected, did put a big smile on my face as I watched the credits roll.
