The Bouncer (2018) - Belgian / France Aka Lukas  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. This is a highly enjoyable and straight forward nonsense JCVD affair. It also allows JCVD to expand his dramatic acting range and the man succeed in doing so once again. It’s simple story of counterfeit, under covers and double crossers in the usual crime action thriller format. For a DTV flick, the cinematography and directing is surprisingly good from French director Julien Leclercq. In film...

1917 (2019) - UK / 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. Technically flawless and groundbreaking filmmaking and precise execution from director Sam Mendes and long time veteran cinematographer Roger Deakins creates the illusion of a one shot gimmick in the astounding “1917”.

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. What makes this film works is down to its underlying message and the ongoing...

Crash Landing on You (TV-2020) - South Korea   Season 1 - 16 Episodes 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 my favourite aspect of the latest all-star pairing of Hyun Bin and Son Ye-Jin’s Korean romantic drama “Crash Landing on You” is the realistic portrayal of North Korean lifestyle with just the right balance of the everyday lifestyle in the countryside and the contrast with the ultra rich and powerful living in Pyongyang. This is a beautifully paced...
