By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 10 May 2017

Review of Brain on Fire (2017)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 02 May 2017

Review of Moonlight (2016)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 25 Apr 2017

Review of Aftermath (2018)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 25 Apr 2017

Review of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 25 Apr 2017

Review of Shock Wave (2017)

By Boon Chan (86) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 19 Apr 2017

This is a workman-like and heavy-handed effort that is unlikely to knock anyone's socks off…

Review of Gifted (2017)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 18 Apr 2017

[Director Marc] Webb knows how to let a joke land lightly and how to draw out an emotional moment…

Review of Going in Style (2017)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 18 Apr 2017

For a story about geriatrics gone wild (played with affable crustiness by Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Alan Arkin), this work is very…

Review of Brimstone (2016)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 18 Apr 2017

[Director Koolhoven] blends the grand idea of divine retribution from Clint Eastwood's Pale Rider with the noir grimness of HBO's Deadwood,…

Review of Mean Dreams (2016)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 11 Apr 2017

The story is driven by character, not coincidence, with the bonus of Paxton giving a powerfully nasty performance as the protective dad from hell…

Review of Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017)

By Andre Teh (6) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 04 Apr 2017

This is the Smurfs' first fully animated CGI outing. It is not only respectful of the source material, but also charmingly pretty in parts…

Review of The Sense of an Ending (2017)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 28 Mar 2017

For a narrative that deals with the idea of subjective interpretation, Batra's storytelling style is oddly flat and unpoetic…

Review of Who Killed Cock Robin (2017)

By Boon Chan (86) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 28 Mar 2017
