女人如花花似梦

"Isn't it what we wait for? To meet someone and they're like a lens and suddenly you're looking through them and everything changes and nothing can ever be the same again."

Inglourious Basterds 10th anniversary

10 years ago this month. since Tarantino's next film is imminent, here's recommending probably my favourite film of his. a cathartic story with several indelible scenes.

树大必有枯枝 人多必有白痴

Up 10th anniversary

10 years ago this month. as someone who almost never fancies animated films, I found this easy to like. gentle, tender and simple, without over-animating.

champions minus De Bruyne

City won the title more or less WITHOUT their best player De Bruyne. they did add Mahrez (£60m), who actually played fewer matches than Sterling, Bernardo, Sane and David Silva.

Liverpool added Alisson (£55m), Keita (£53m), Fabinho (£39m) and Shaqiri (£13m) after reaching the Champions League final.

United added Fred (£53m) after finishing runners-up.

Arsenal added Torreira (£27m), Leno (£22m) and Sokratis (£14m).

Chelsea added Kepa (£72m), Jorginho (£51m), Higuain (£8m) and Kovacic.

I rarely praise rivals, but credit is due.

You took your first pinch like a man and you learned the two most important things in life. Never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut.

"Anyone who spends a significant amount of time with me finds me disagreeable."

State of Play 10th anniversary

10 years ago this month. when journalism and thrillers intersect. for those who find serious journalism films like Spotlight boring.

Saint Jack 40th anniversary

40 years ago this month. the best Hollywood film shot in Singapore is not Crazy Rich Asians.

佛典有云
旗未动
风也未吹
是人的心自己在动

"There are these butterflies in Central America. They're blue and orange and yellow and have poison in their wings, just enough to stop a bird heart. But the birds know this somehow, so they don't eat them. But there are other ones, butterflies, they're orange, blue and yellow too but no poison wings. They're just flying around, looking dangerous, getting by on their looks."

生死有命 富貴在天

The Matrix 20th anniversary

20 years ago this month. the film that left this 12-year-old stunned by the magic of cinema and the start of a trilogy that would consume me for years.
