HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR 2018!
It's that time of the year again as we welcome the year of the dog this time. A time where we gather for great food, meet up with irritable relatives, endless house visits and yes, CNY theme movies!
To make things easier for our readers to make their choices, we have compiled the latest, hottest movies showing at your nearest cineplex.
(Kowtow to the King of Wakanda and be spellbound)
(Undoubtedly the most accomplished action movie from Dante Lam, 'Operation Red Sea' is balls-to-the-wall modern-day war spectacle that's gritty, intense and thrilling to watch)
WONDERFUL! LIANG XIMEI (旺得福！梁细妹)
(A joyful reunion of the 'Comedy Night' trio - Jack Neo, Henry Thia and Mark Lee - with Neo's trademark witticisms and heart-tugging melodrama make this a winning CNY delight that will bring out the laughs and tears)
(You should know by now what you're in for - romance, sex, and domination/ submission - and if you free yourself to enjoy it on its terms, you'll find this a satisfying climax)
(A seasonal outing that checks all the boxes for its genre, but hackneyed acting from the leads makes the film rigid and tired)
(Less an action fantasy than a fantasy romance, this third chapter of Soi Cheang's 'Monkey King' franchise sidelines its titular character as well as the mismatched travelling quartet in favour of Xuanzang's love conumdrum - and ends up being much less because of it)
(Unless you fancy the irresistibly cute Wuba as worth the price of admission alone, this dull retread of the original is not worth the hunt)
(Functioning more liked a Wong Jing’s reject and you expect Dayo Wong to do better)
