MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
The Magic is Gone
Legacy sequels like Practical Magic 2 shouldn’t exist just for nostalgia but try telling them that.
Time for V-Horror?
At least these SEA horrors are being defined by SEA filmmkers, like Phi Phong: The Blood Demon.
Soul Crushing
You can tell summer is over when the animated offerings turn dead serious and aim at the olds, like Decorado.
Kids These Days
It’s a slasher, it’s a zombie movie, it’s a gorefest, and yes Ice Cream Man may put you off gelato for a bit.
Not a Very Good Boy
The Dog Stars might possibly be Ridley Scott’s first ever truly paint-by-numbers movie.
Alternative Therapies
Really, the solution to all life’s problems is a good, long walk according to Santiago: The Camino Therapy.
‘Adventure’ Time
Slight, sweet and technically astute, A Mighty Adventure finally makes its way back to Hong Kong.
Choose One
The Dating Menu isn’t really food porn, but it is a step up for Amos Why and an announcement for Frankie Chung.
Mythology ≠ HIstory
All Wishes Come True! is Ocean’s 8 in ancient China and man, does that work like a charm.
Dog Days Not Over
Did you see PAW Patrol: The Movie? The Mighty Movie? Then you’ve seen PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie. Which is fine.
Dino of Suburbia
Jurassic Park is closed for 2026 so enjoy this better dinosaur alternative in The End of Oak Street.
Back in Time
If you wished introducing your partner to your parents could have gone better, Back to Love will speak to you.
Dinner for One
Food is the love language in Kim Tae-yong’s Number One, a high concept love letter to mom’s cooking.
Adorably Dark
Chiikawa the Movie: The Secret of the Mermaid Island is aggravatingly cute. That’s either wonderful or a waking nightmare.
Brand New? Really?
Brand new is hardly a way to describe Spider-Man: Brand New Day but it doesn’t matter because ka-ching!
