    2016 SECRET SANTA THREAD - Entry now CLOSED

    Busy Holiday season for me travelling all over the world but I finally have time to post a picture of my awesome SS gift! I got a classic Batmobile licence plate along with decals of loads of different bat-symbols. Awesome gift, and since I have no space to get the rest of a full sized...

    Been a bit busy with work, forgot to check into the thread. But you can mark me as both sent and received! On a trip this week, will open and post pictures of the gift when I'm back.

    Black Mirror

    Another really great season, so many twists to keep you guessing! I believe Charlie Brooker said they've already started working on season 4. I want them to take their time and not rush the quality but at the same time can't wait for a new season!

    Doctor Strange (Post-release)

    I usually don't watch things in 3D but my friend suggested I see it in 3D and it was totally worth it, especially during the first "trip" and the whole city bending sequence. After Civil War it felt nice to have a Marvel movie that was relatively self contained, I didn't feel like I was missing...

    Deadpool (Post-release)

    Something kind of interesting I noticed about Deadpool screenings in Hong Kong while booking tickets for Batman V Superman recently. They have actually been showing two versions of Deadpool in HK. One is the full uncut category III (R Rating) and one is an edited category IIB (PG-13 Rating) with...

    Deadpool (Post-release)

    I'll preface this by saying I think Deadpool was a good movie, and the reason I'm going to be so critical in my review is because I think it's a good movie with the potential to be a great movie. It's a shame there was a lot of wasted opportunities in this film. I think the film suffered from...

    Deadpool Movie

    Hong Kong is a self governing semi-autonomous region of China, they call it "1 country 2 systems" so as a result they have a separate film classification board and all films can be shown here unlike the ones that have to pass the government censors in mainland. To be fair, the whole "banned in...

    Deadpool Movie

    Just got back from seeing it, apparently they released it earlier in Hong Kong to cash in on the Chinese New Year movie crowd. Lots to say but no spoilers here, I'll wait for the post-release thread to go up in a few days :P

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Post-release)

    Just saw this at a midnight screening in Hong Kong in a 3D 4X screening so the seats were swivelling and vibrating, air and wind was blasted at me, smoke, smells and water sprays too so I've had quite a different experience watching it, super immersive. Although I'll probably go see it again in...

    Neill Blomkamp's Chappie (Post-release)

    Just saw it and I've got mixed feelings about it, there's some things done really well and some really distracting things. The CGI is pretty amazing and Chappie looks fully realized within the world and the performance is really great. I find Die Antwoord really confusing, because they're...

    Kingsman: The Secret Service (Post-release)

    I saw it in Hong Kong yesterday, audience had a good laugh at Samuel L Jackson's line about Beijing "Scary how no one even knows what the Chinese secret service is called" or something similar, which was pretty funny. Overall I really liked it, the writing was really good and the action...

    The Interview (Post-release)

    So did anyone manage to see this now it's had a very limited theatrical release and is now out on video on demand? I caught it online and I think it was pretty good, certainly in the style as Rogan and Goldberg's other work so if you liked their other films chances are you'll like this. I can't...

    Mad Max: Fury Road

    Saw the trailers for this and they got me really pumped for this film, when it occured to me I haven't even seen the originals yet. Watched all 3 back to back last night and now I'm even more excited for it. Felt the world building in the last 2 films was great and really glad it looks like...
