Film Review: Searching 人肉搜尋 (2018) - USA

Searching 人肉搜尋 (2018) - USA   Reviewed by Andrew Chan (Film Critics Circle of Australia)     To call “Searching” one of the best internet crime thrillers is probably an understatement as it is the best Hollywood crime thriller in years. Clever, intriguing and haunting are words that comes to mind to describe this John Cho starring film. As another successful Asian American film (other being “Crazy Rich Asians”), it shows that we have a lot of stories to tell and the intelligent manner that director  Aneesh Chaganty portray through the use of cameras, computers screens, FaceTime and webcams makes...

Film Review: The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018) - USA

The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018) - USA   Reviewed by Andrew Chan (Film Critics Circle of Australia)     In the case of toning down the level of intelligence is probably a certainty in the unlikely spy buddy comedy duo of Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon. To be fair the pairing of Kunis and McKinnon is probably the only thing worth watching as the film drags and rely on the random R-rated violence and killings to keep the audience in the loop. Director Susanna Fogel tries to blend in too much elements into one as she weaves through comedy,...

Film Review: Shed Skin Papa 脫皮爸爸 (2016) - Hong Kong

Shed Skin Papa 脫皮爸爸 (2016) - Hong Kong   Reviewed by Andrew Chan (Film Critics Circle of Australia)     Despite all the wackiness of the genre and following the lines of Andy Lau’s “Wait Till You Grow Older” and Hollywood’s “Benjamin Button”, this is a well meaning and well acted film that talks about the life long struggles and different stages of life. Francis Ng steals the show with a diverse performance that goes from fighting against the Japanese in 1940s to the Communists China to escaping to Colonial British Hong Kong and Hong Kong handover to China. It...

Film Review: When Sun Meets Moon 某日某月 (2018) - Hong Kong

When Sun Meets Moon 某日某月 (2018) - Hong Kong   Reviewed by Andrew Chan (Film Critics Circle of Australia)     One of the best moments of the youth romantic film comes in the form of sending letters and the yearn and wait that comes with waiting for them in the pursuit of young love. Kathy Yuen and Daichi Harashima are excellent in their rawness and portrayal in capturing the innocence of young romance and all the loving and dreamy fantasy that comes with it. As usually there are obstacles, one rich one poor, one goes to boarding school and...

Film Review: Acts of Violence (2018) - USA

Acts of Violence (2018) - USA   Reviewed by Andrew Chan (Film Critics Circle of Australia)     Bad movies nowadays are usually associated with action VOD cameo specialist Bruce Willis. “Acts of Violence” is another one of those films where Willis appears, sleepwalk and collects his pay check in the process and adding zero value in the proceeding. This film is clearly a cardboard cut out type of action thriller that is neither thrilling or contains characters we want to care about. Without being disrespect to Willis, most of his scenes are shot within his police office location and...
