MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
The Horror!
Vietnamese Horror Story is more curiosity than creepshow, no matter what đ53 billion says.
Fantasy ‘Man’
If rom-coms only interest you if they’re a little off, then I’m Your Man’s for you.
Lucky Seven?
Septet is Johnnie To’s labour of love letter to Hong Kong, but some of the notes are nasty.
No Sacred Cows
Ballad of a White Cow is bleak, angry, infuriating and capped by a tiny victory.
Thunderstruck
Thor: Love and Thunder is Thor: Ragnarok on speed, and you will crash afterwards.
Personal ‘Convictions’
Prior Convictions makes the jump to cinemas but maybe should have stayed on TV.
By the Numbers
Chris Pine and Ben Foster reunite for a military drama with lots on its mind but no stomach to voice it.
All Hail the King
Baz Luhrmann + Elvis Presley = OTT nuttiness. A match made in glittery, rhinstoney heaven.
Baby Drama
Hirokazu Kore-eda follows his career highlight with the complementing Broker – and proves IU can act.
A Bit Off Course
Uncharted attempts to go where no video game movie has gone before: the “good” column.
‘Black’ Magic
Sinister director Scott Derrickson reunites with his favourite leading man for some kid-on-kid violence.
Above and Beyond
Lightyear keeps the Toy Story franchise alive, thanks mostly to that must-have robot cat.
