Review of Funny People (2009)

By Thiam P (53) on 25 Oct 2018

It tries to tell a drama with comedy, and achieves neither. Possibly the most boring Adam Sandler vehicle I've seen…

Review of A Clockwork Orange (1971)

By Thiam P (53) on 15 Oct 2018

I appreciate its much-hyped explicitness, which challenges conventions…

Review of The French Connection (1971)

By Thiam P (53) on 14 Oct 2018

It has one awesome chase scene and lots of okay parts, but I wasn't blown away by it…

Review of Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970)

By Thiam P (53) on 13 Oct 2018

2001's Pearl Harbor, without the cheesy romance. A more fact-based account of the attack, which also means it's less entertaining…

Review of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

By Thiam P (53) on 12 Oct 2018

Some parts were hard to watch while others require multiple viewings to understand. But this is a film unlike any other…

Review of 12 Angry Men (1957)

By Thiam P (53) on 11 Oct 2018

Granted, it's performed like a play, but that takes nothing away from how well it's written. You're invested in the twists and turns the whole way…

Review of To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)

By Thiam P (53) on 11 Oct 2018

Exactly how I remember the novel. This does true justice to Harper Lee's work…

Review of Rashomon (1950)

By Thiam P (53) on 10 Oct 2018

Obviously, this film is well known for coining the Rashomon effect, and other technical innovations…

Review of American History X (1998)

By Thiam P (53) on 08 Oct 2018

A most provocative and devastating film that's seared into my memory…

Review of The Lady Vanishes (1938)

By Thiam P (53) on 08 Oct 2018

If a 1938 film can keep your attention in 2018, it must be a damn good film. Alfred Hitchcock at his best…

Review of Citizen Kane (1941)

By Thiam P (53) on 08 Oct 2018

Ahead of its time is probably the biggest compliment you can accord a film…

Review of Africa United (2010)

By Thiam P (53) on 08 Oct 2018

Carried by Eriya Ndayambaje, its achievement lies in making you root for them…

Review of Mrs K (2017)

By Thiam P (53) on 02 Oct 2018

It's nice seeing Kara Wai beating people up again, but she's let down by an end product that thinks it's better than it really is…

Review of The White Girl (2017)

By Thiam P (53) on 02 Oct 2018

Two photogenic leads can't salvage a film that begins with an interesting premise, then does absolutely nothing with it…

Review of Mrs K. (2015)

By Thiam P (53) on 02 Oct 2018

It's nice seeing Kara Wai beating people up again, but she's let down by an end product that thinks it's better than it really is…

Review of In the Room (2015)

By Thiam P (53) on 01 Oct 2018

This is like a bold concept envisioned by a self-styled intellectual that's executed by clueless amateurs…

Review of Repo Men (2010)

By Thiam P (53) on 29 Sep 2018

Any film that reveals at the end that a significant chunk of what you've seen isn't real is a bad film. It's too cowardly to own its story…

Review of Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

By Thiam P (53) on 26 Sep 2018

Much like the first film, critics seem to have caught up with what I feel. It's just multiple protagonists doing too many things. Fan service…

Review of Hugo (2011)

By Thiam P (53) on 26 Sep 2018

It looks expensive. A stellar cast. But a story of the birth of motion picture was never interesting to begin with…

Review of Silver Linings Playbook (2012)

By Thiam P (53) on 26 Sep 2018

This is simply your typical romance/romcom. Plus it's fronted by two of the most overrated actors…
