    Chungking Express

    ★★★★

    A tale of moving on from love and how to allow it back in. The scenes of hurry, disarray, and danger are shown with reduced time lapse. This technique slows down the visuals yet the weight of the scene remains.

    ★★

    Optimus Prime needs a film where he has a competent plan and isn’t getting his butt whooped.

    In the Mood for Love

    ★★★★½

    Rehearse the pain before it comes. Whisper your secrets into the earth, cover it with mud, and leave it behind. Should one return to the secret's location, what light will it show?

    "She dresses like that to go out for noodles?"

    Pet Shop Boys Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live at the Royal Arena Copenhagen

    ★★★½

    Sound mixing was horrendous and could have been twice as loud. Fellow theatre goers agreed and there are threads on the PSB subreddit saying the same worldwide. I feel bad for Neil and Chris as it’s not their fault, and I’m sure they wish their fans had a more concert-like experience.

    Despite the poor sound, I sang and danced nonetheless.

    Standout performances include “Love Comes Quickly,” “Being Boring,” and “What Have I Done to Deserve This?”

    Notable that very few tracks are from the second half of PSB's discography. Understandable since only singles are featured, and they had some excellent ones in their early career.
