MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
Terrifying
If you’re keen to see Scary Movie (#6) nothing about how crass and dumb it is will deter you from that mission. Godspeed.
Puh-ppies!
If you’re a soft touch for a cute dog movie, well, happy to say Gohan has three.
That’ll Do Too
The Sheep Detectives doesn’t really need Hugh Jackman or Emma Thompson. It has talking sheep.
Newly Crowned
Korean history has always done well at the Korean box office but The King’s Warden is next level.
What Finish Line?
Pegasus 3 is exactly the same movie as Pegasus and Pegasus 2, so at least there’s no disappointment.
Going in Circles
Zazie Beetz is a great action star that deserves a better vehicle than the exhausting They Will Kill You.
All ‘Hail’
If competency porn is high on your entertainment score card, then Project Hail Mary has it all over.
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.
Prison Vibes
Gavin Lin’s Sunshine Women’s Choir is treacly hokum and completely ridiculous. It’s Taiwan’s biggest local hit ever.
‘Double’ Vision
Liu Kuan-ting and Jennifer Yu suffer wedding day emotional mania in Joseph Hsu’s surprisingly engaging Double Happiness.
Treading Water
The SpongeBob Movie: Search for Squarepants carries the series’ torch nicely – and with no stolen recipes.
Animal Crackers
This is getting repetitive. Zootopia 2 is a lot more of what made Zootopia such a chamer… but less.
Watch Your back, F&F
It’s goofy AF but Now You See Me: Now You Don’t knows that and doesn’t care. Good on ya, mates.
Toy Horror Story
Dolls and clowns are inherently creepy so Shinobu Yaguchi experiments with horror in Dollhouse.
