• The Shock Labyrinth

    May 25, 2015

    It doesn’t come close to reaching the creepy heights of ‘Ju-on’ but it’s a moderately spooky horror flick with some unnecessary but occasionally groovy 3D additions.

  • The Shopaholics

    May 25, 2015

    ‘The Shopaholics’ is a simple time waster that has a few effective moments, but meanders around until its uninspiring conclusion.

  • The Spy Dad

    Jun 1, 2015

    I did notice my skin peeling off as the film neared its conclusion, though on closer inspection this seems to have been what doctors call ‘The Chapman To effect’.

  • The Stone Age Warriors

    Jun 1, 2015

    If you’re looking for a strong plot or an all-round classic of cinema, this certainly isn’t for you. However, if you just want an inventive and engaging 90 minute action-comedy, you could do worse than this.

  • The Super Ninja

    Jun 5, 2015

    The Super Ninja’ comes very close to becoming a highly recommended film on action merits alone.

  • The Sword And The Lute

    Jun 6, 2015

    The strength of Karl Maka’s slice of entertainment is its wilful exuberance and obvious intention of creating a fun atmosphere.

  • The Top Bet

    Nov 3, 2016

    ‘The Top Bet’ is that very parochial fusion of gambling and ‘nonsense comedy’ (mo lei tau) that many of us are still baffled by after all of these years.

  • The Tower

    Jun 16, 2015
