MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
The Music Man
The documentary Ennio isn’t big on insight into the man that’s created defining film moments, but it sure does sound good.
Lights Out
One of Stephen King’s bazillion short stories, The Boogeyman, gets a creepy adaptation, perfect for hot summer nights.
Press Pass
It’s no Spotlight, but Wang Jing’s The Best Is Yet to Come is more journalistic than it has a right to be.
‘State’ of the Arts
Haider Kikabhoy and Dora Choi turn the spotlight on some long lost Hong Kong history in To Be Continued.
The Dusty Trail
With The Covenant Guy Ritchie heads to a war zone for his first non-urban thriller. Yes, Guy!
‘Day’ Gone By
Proving good things come in small packages, Day Off is a little slice of nuthin’ that’s surprisingly effective.
Anti-‘Social’
For an idea of what Social Distancing is about, refer to the Chinese title. Just don’t expect much.
Top Hong Kong Gun
Jack Ng and A Guilty Conscience have conquered Hong Kong, now they’re heading out into the world.
‘Galaxy’ Quests
It’s over. It’s over. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 wraps up the trilogy in…meh fashion.
Danger Zone
How can you call yourself a Top Gun knock-off if there are hardly any aerial dog fights, Born to Fly?
Who’s to Say?
Taiwanese director Cheng Wei-hao knows Marry My Dead Body might be problematic for some. Give him five minutes to defend it.
Dead or Alive?
Is Marry My Dead Body one giant leap for LGBTQ+ equality or a drastic slide backwards into regression?
Worst Boss Ever
Do we need a Renfield movie? If it gets us Nicolas Cage going full Cage then yes. Yes we do.
