Review of Molly's Game (2017)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 04 Jan 2018

Despite the abundance of snappy comebacks and delicious zingers, the structural weaknesses of the story show…

Review of Bright (2017)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 27 Dec 2017

[Will Smith] handles his hard-boiled one-liners wonderfully…

Review of The Greatest Showman (2017)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 27 Dec 2017

The songs are solid and This Is Me, like all great Top 40 summer tunes, has an anthemic chorus that embeds itself in one's head for days…

Review of Take Me to the Moon (2017)

By Yip Wai Yee (59) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 27 Dec 2017

But while those two earlier works - which went on to become huge hits in the region - were light, feel-good fun, there is a sense of melancholy…

Review of Pitch Perfect 3 (2017)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 19 Dec 2017

In saying goodbye to its fans, the third and last movie has gone sappy, turning its driven women into star-struck fangirls, eager for the approval…

Review of Good Time (2017)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 19 Dec 2017

The ticking clock thriller gets an indie makeover and the result is a pulse-quickening ride that, in entertainment value, beats anything that…

Review of Ferdinand (2017)

By Alison De Souza (8) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 19 Dec 2017

The visual and verbal humour is cartoonish rather than clever and it recycles gags seen in far too many animated films, such as animals in…

Review of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)

By Yip Wai Yee (59) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 19 Dec 2017

The scary animals are still here, mind you…

Review of Chennai 2 Singapore (2017)

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

For those unfamiliar with the film language, its reliance on heavy drama, over-the-top fist fights complete with loud sound effects, musical…

Review of The Thousand Faces of Dunjia (2017)

By Yip Wai Yee (59) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 13 Dec 2017

It is heartening to see director Yuen, who is known for his action movies, attempt something new, but it will be a while before he masters…

Review of Mudbound (2017)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 13 Dec 2017

The reason to watch this is for Morgan's performance as Hap. He bears every racist indignity with stoic resignation…

Review of Paddington 2 (2017)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 13 Dec 2017

The suspense-thriller plot involving a frame-up is throwaway for anyone older than 12, but there is so much going on - the Wes-Anderson-meets-Studio-Ghibli…

Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 13 Dec 2017

Big space battles are one thing, but there are smaller action setpieces here that can only be described as beautiful…

Review of Madame (2017)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 06 Dec 2017

[Toni Collette] makes the audience believe rich people problems are worthy of sympathy, even if the character in question is far from likeable…

Review of Murder on the Orient Express (2017)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 29 Nov 2017

The puzzle-box mechanics of the Christie murder mystery - a fixed number of persons, all limited in movement and clues which, at the climax,…

Review of The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017)

By Yip Wai Yee (59) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 29 Nov 2017

Scrooge, as expected, is the star of the show, with a fantastic Christopher Plummer…

Review of Manhunt (2017)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 22 Nov 2017

Instead, the film feels like an earnest imitation of [John Woo's] best works, in the vein of tribute bands - similar, but not quite the same…

Review of Gender Wars (2015)

By John Lui (420) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 22 Nov 2017

As they did in Sunshine, [Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris] adroitly walk the line between poking fun at the characters - here, Carell's pathetic,…
