确认过眼神 我遇上对的人

lost in transition

After 8 years of basking as the undisputed best, All Blacks return to being the best team that's not the world champ. The scourge of tournament rugby, where although credit to English tactics and some outstanding individual performances, it's a day everything went wrong for NZ - a call against you, a pass inches off, the ball bouncing wrongly.

That said, this was gonna happen. 2011 was the most complete and experienced team, 2015 was a blend of class and rising youth. 2019 did not see a successful transition and when push came to shove, the roster was just not good enough.

Mo'unga could not orchestrate, Aaron is declining, there's only 1 good starting centre, Bridge is overrated, Cane could not fill the boots, Retallick is unfit and the front row has deteriorated.

同门 10th anniversary

10 years ago this month. the last good Hong Kong triad film, before China and Taiwan productions began taking over.

The Blue Mansion 10th anniversary

10 years ago this month. maybe not the best local film, but maybe the best screenplay. if you haven't seen it, it's best I don't reveal more. and don't we all miss Emma Yong?

I'm a needle starting at zero, going the other way.

长得丑不是你的错 但出来吓人就是你不对

i like motion pictures

Wonder Woman was good, but Joker will be the film that regains DC respect. that respect extends to the writers and director, who took a familiar subject, injected fresh and convincing elements, while staying faithful to the source. origin stories don't get better than this.

like Venom, you may ask, how do you make audiences empathise with a villain? the creators not only managed this, but did it by boldly juxtaposing him against his well-loved rival Batman. I left the cinema uncertain what's good and evil anymore.

even a fool gets to be young once.

American Beauty 20th anniversary

20 years ago this month. centred on the idea of beauty, this film's numerous themes and emotions triggered rightfully introduced the genius of Sam Mendes.

暗战 20th anniversary

20 years ago this month. one of my greatest Hong Kong films. that cool, that intelligence and that unforgettable love line.

Fight Club 20th anniversary

20 years ago this month. a film like no other. more so, probably the most surprising twist I have encountered.

District 9 10th anniversary

10 years ago this month. the ultimate sleeper hit, finding that sweet spot between social commentary and pure entertainment.

好像在拜拜
除了不知道对方能不能够听得到之外
对我自己讲的话是不是真心的也没什么把握

The Sixth Sense 20th anniversary

20 years ago this month. the film that spawned a glut of films anchored on a single twist. the film that began my sometimes unrequited love for M Night Shyamalan.

Let's sort the buyers from the spyers, the needy from the greedy, and those who trust me from the ones who don't.
