  Limbo 2021

  ★★★★ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  Cheung Pou-Soi does an excellent directing job here, turning the vision of writers Au Kin-Yee and Shum Kwan-Sin into a black and white film noir where characters' motives are no cleaner than the rubbish dumps in which it's set. Another brilliant turn by Lam Ka-Tung as the jaded detective, and Mason Lee (son of legendary director Ang Lee) plays a good rookie-in-charge-with-issues. Even when you think the females are there to be the weak ones, their tenacity may well surprise you. I really enjoyed rooting for certain characters all the way through but especially at the end, also the cinematography was beautiful

  The Corrupter made little sense at the beginning and spanned the course of four or five days in the first ten minutes.

  Captain America: Brave New World 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  I don't know if it's just me or if other marvel fans have noticed the rut that the MCU seems to be in at the moment. After Avengers: Endgame, the MCU films that we've been given have been at best mediocre films with the exception of a couple that stood out for me. Captain America: Brave New World, is a solid entry into the MCU, it doesn't really offer anything new story wise, apart from also subtly hinting that the…
