Film Review: The Lyricist Wannabe 填詞L (2024) Hong Kong 🇭🇰   Reviewed by Andrew Chan (Film Critics Circle of Australia 🇦🇺) Following her directorial debut of the underrated “My Prince Edward”, best new director Norris Wong followed up with a heartfelt and emotionally charged semi autobiographical film “The Lyricist Wannabe” (on her own experiences) about a struggling and aspiring lyricist roaming thru the complicated world of music.

Film Review: The Moon Thieves 盜月者 (2024) Hong Kong 🇭🇰

Film Review: The Moon Thieves 盜月者 (2024) Hong Kong 🇭🇰 Reviewed by Andrew Chan (Film Critics Circle of Australia 🇦🇺)   Following the reins of Hollywood’s “Ocean’s Eleven” and Hong Kong’s “Once a Thief”, the crime heist genre is rarely explored to in Hong Kong cinema. Director Steve Yuen in “The Moon Thieves” managed to recreate the heist starring the popular Mirror boy band namely Edan Liu, Anson Lo and Keung To and well supported by the always versatile Louis Cheung and the flexible Michael Ning. The problem with this film is not so much its acting, but the premise...

Film Review: Table for Six 2 飯戲攻心2 (2024) Hong Kong 🇭🇰

Film Review: Table for Six 2 飯戲攻心2 (2024) Hong Kong 🇭🇰 Reviewed by Andrew Chan (Film Critics Circle of Australia 🇦🇺)   As far as sequel is concerned, last year box office success “Table for Six” comes with plenty of expectations. Despite missing super box office star Dayo Wong, the film works extremely well when it is focused on relationships, family and the all the good and bad associated with it. It is this infernal of emotions one after another that makes director Sunny Chan so effective as a communicator as it simply translates directly to the audience like gold....

Film Review: Argylle 特工亞皆老(2023) USA UK 🇺🇸 🇬🇧

Film Review: Argylle 特工亞皆老(2023) USA UK 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 Reviewed by Andrew Chan (Film Critics Circle of Australia 🇦🇺)   The real problem with the latest spy espionage crime thriller is the lack of excitement and fun that makes these kind of films at the edge of your seat type of entertainment. Matthew Vaughn’s “Argylle” fails this basic test with pitiful characters being lumped up into a snooze fest. That’s particularly sad, the film boost a decent cast that could have gone some places.   Bryce Dallas Howard lacks the on screen charisma for the leading role as both the writer...
