Dead Man Down (2013)

Arresting performances from Colin Farrell and Noomi Rapace with assured direction from Niels Arden Oplev lifts what is otherwise a generic drama thriller. Love 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond' by Kendra Morris, which is featured in the trailer of the movie!

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? - 明天記得愛上我 (2013)

IMHO, a lighthearted comic romance that a mature audience will get more out of due to the film's focus on adult relationships in modern society. Strong script with steady direction and performances. Enjoyed it muchly! 

The Great Gatsby (2013)

YAWNNNNN...

Fast & Furious 6 (2013)

Really enjoyed this one! Also my first Fast & Furious movie!

What's to like? Good looking leads. Bad ass villains who ain't dumb and actually formidable. Focus on characters. And superb action sequences in the last bit including an amazing save.

What didn't click with me? Surprisingly - the earlier action chase bits were starting to get a bit dull at some points. But this is a really, really minor complain.      

Populaire (2012)

Not too bad. Beautiful cinematography, art direction, costume design, score and performances lift this small, charming film.

Plot's predictable but that seems more of a "going-with-a-typical-genre" thing than a failure. Pacing is a bit slow at bits but I like some of the subtle humor. The competition scenes ain't too bad either. Deborah Francois gives a performance that makes you want to root for.

Bully (2011)

Poignant.

War of the Arrows - 최종병기 활 (2011)

Think this would have been fabulous in a theatre instead of on video. One of the best arrow combat flicks I've caught. Liked that the damsel in distress wasn't all passive and helpless. As with most good movies, the bad guy is really formidable.
