Review: Love Wedding Repeat (2020) - UK / Italy Reviewed by Andrew Chan (Film Critics Circle of Australia) Help us continue to cover more Asian and Martial Art films by making a donation to Neo Film Blog below. Bad movies are simply put they are plain bad and first time writer turned director Dean Craig  takes the audience on the most awful cliche genre ride and even have the guts to repeat the audience process again in the Netflix release “Love Wedding Repeat”. There is absolute nothing new in this unnecessary remake of French romantic comedy “Plan de Table”. The real problems crystallised...

Judy (2019) - USA   Reviewed by Andrew Chan (Film Critics Circle of Australia) Help us continue to cover more Asian and Martial Art films by making a donation to Neo Film Blog below. One of the most delightfully beautiful film of the year comes with the bio-pic of the tragic life of the legendary Judy Garland. In making “Judy”, director Rupert Goold manages to hold the pace and interest of the audience by letting Renée Zellweger produces one of her most critically acclaimed performance for a long time.

There are...

As the saying goes “I’ll be back!” and just like that we get another “Terminator” rehash that is not only highly unnecessary, but needlessly soulless experience for all involved. In fact, the film is so cheesy that it almost falls in the category of so bad it is good category. Unfortunately it is not the case, as the film starts well and gradually falls apart one terminator fight after another. While it may be fun to see...

Joker (2019) - USA   Reviewed by Andrew Chan (Film Critics Circle of Australia)  Help us continue to cover more Asian and Martial Art films by making a donation to Neo Film Blog below. What is so stunning about “Joker” is the thorough depiction of human condition at its deepest core. We are chilled by the fact that “Joker” is not a mere villain on comic book, but rather a result of the context and surrounding from traumatised childhood abuse to growing up with a hideous uncontrollable laughter to constant battle with mental illness. We get a full picture of a character that...
