3/5 | 26% | Barely Lethal (2015) |
It is not nearly as intelligent as Mean Girls, but the ass-kicking is still fun to watch. - The New Paper (Singapore)

4/5 | 72% | Everest (2015) |
Since most of us will never see Mount Everest with our own eyes, this movie shows the best - and worst - of what it can offer. - The New Paper (Singapore)

2/5 | 10% | Pay the Ghost (2015) |
[Nicholas] Cage's moony-eyed melancholy over his missing kid gets tiring fast and while the film's ghostly Celtic legend is intriguing, the whole thing falls rather flat, made worse by cheap-looking special effects. - The New Paper (Singapore)

2/5 | 22% | Jem and the Holograms (2015) |
If you enjoyed the 80s animated series this film is based on, be warned that it is nothing like its source material. - The New Paper (Singapore)

5/5 | 63% | The Man Who Knew Infinity (2016) |
There is something almost spiritual about this film that makes it more than just a maths biopic. - The New Paper (Singapore)

Blair Witch is the scariest flick I have seen in a while. - The New Paper (Singapore)

3/5 | 38% | Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016) |
The chemistry between [Tom] Cruise and [Colbie] Smulders is indeed smouldering. They should be paired together on screen more often. - The New Paper (Singapore)

3/5 | 83% | Denial (2016) |
Denial struggles to find hope and positivity and never quite ascends to the level of great courtroom flicks like Erin Brockovich. - The New Paper (Singapore)

Ah, another modern Shakespearean adaptation with Elizabethan dialogue and guns. But Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet this is not. - The New Paper (Singapore)

3/5 | No Score Yet | Barely Legal (2011) |
I rather liked it - didn't most girls dream of being trainee assassins in high school? Or was that just me? - The New Paper (Singapore)

3/5 | 28% | Bad Johnson (2014) |
There's some kind of lesson about learning to grow up and stop being a jerk - if you can look past the "Johnson" humour. - The New Paper (Singapore)

4/5 | 8% | Survivor (2015) |
While it will keep you suitably entertained, Survivor doesn't really bring anything new to the genre. At least director James McTeigue moves the story along at a gripping pace. - The New Paper (Singapore)

2/5 | 20% | The Vatican Tapes (2015) |
But even if you can look past the horror flick's hopelessly flawed theology, its characters have no emotional weight, and the constant suspense is more tiring than thrilling. - The New Paper (Singapore)

4/5 | 27% | Victor Frankenstein (2015) |
Even though you know how the story goes (mad scientist creates monster out of dead body parts, with horrifying consequences), there are some great twists in this version. - The New Paper (Singapore)

3/5 | No Score Yet | Let's Eat! (2016) |
The storyline is predictable, and the jokes sometimes fall flat, but you'll enjoy the sexy food shots and cameos by local actors such as Henry Thia and Mark Lee. - The New Paper (Singapore)

4/5 | 53% | Risen (2016) |
Sensitively filmed with some flashes of violence and gore to keep things interesting, Risen is a great resurrection movie for curious non-believers and Christians alike. - The New Paper (Singapore)
