    They don’t quite flip the bird at EA but Veronica Bassetto and Sophie Yang get their game on in their gamechanging feminist MMO dramedy

    The Mouse wants that stock line to go up, but director Daniel Chong made Pixar’s best standalone in some time anyway

    Macau director Tracy Choi’s strongest film yet is much, much more than “a lesbian movie” thanks to a stellar cast and a break-out turn by Elizabeth Tang

    Hahahahaha, and here we thought Emerald Fennell was the only director getting funky with classic literature.

Beaver Tales

Pixar may need to do more work to convince us it hasn’t totally been subsumed by the Mouse, but Hoppers is a good start.

Play Like a Girl

Directors Veronica Bassetto and Sophie Yang might have futures as game designers if Gamer Girls goes belly up.

I Mos Def Prefer

If this were the 2010, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! would rate a hearty "Yass Queen!”

Prison Vibes

Gavin Lin’s Sunshine Women’s Choir is treacly hokum and completely ridiculous. It’s Taiwan’s biggest local hit ever.

Almost There…

Ultimate Revenge is painfully familiar. But it’s also just crunchy enough to be entertaining.

Time for Bed

We’re diving headlong into fandom territory here. No one else is going to give a shit about Scream 7 as it stands.

Girls Being Girls

Tracy Choi’s Girlfriends makes for a nice middle entry in what, fingers crossed, might be a smart, sapphic trilogy.

Warning: Too Many Zooms

It’s blue-grey. It’s techy-forward. It’s bloody paranoid. It’s Zhang Yimou banging the drum in Scare Out.

More Like Intermediate

Yeah, yeah, it’s trying hard to be Heat, but you could say Heat tried hard to be Rififi. Crime 101 is a fun ride.

‘Double’ Vision

Liu Kuan-ting and Jennifer Yu suffer wedding day emotional mania in Joseph Hsu’s surprisingly engaging Double Happiness.

    Hong Kong cinema is overrepresented in undercover agent movies. A new exhibition examines that.

    We’re two down, 31 to go after stopping at hEROES Beer Co on our Hong Kong beer tour.

Take-5: Heroes Beer Co.

Hong Kong’s craft brew scene is in a bit of a rut, with cocktails, wine and de- or low-alcohol tipples gaining traction, but it’s certainly not dead. With summer likely starting in April, we tried five of Heroes’ bestsellers – not so you don’t have to but so you know where to start.
