| Rating | T-Meter | Title | Year | Review |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3/5 | 24% | 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)

| 5/5 | 85% | Far From the Madding Crowd (2015) |
[Carey] Mulligan was born to play Bathsheba. ‐ The New Paper (Singapore)

| 4/5 | 73% | 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 | 19% | 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)

| 3/5 | 56% | Mojin - The Lost Legend (2015) |
Think of this as Tomb Raider, Chinese style. ‐ The New Paper (Singapore)

|
| 3/5 | 29% | Fathers And Daughters (2016) |
I've always thought Russell Crowe would make a rather crazy but loving dad.‐ 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)

|
| 4/5 | 35% | Blair Witch (2016) |
Blair Witch is the scariest flick I have seen in a while.‐ The New Paper (Singapore)

|
| 3/5 | 37% | 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)

|
| 3/5 | No Score Yet | Lulu The Movie (2016) |
Where the film shines is when [Michelle] Chong interviews people as Lulu. ‐ The New Paper (Singapore)

| 2/5 | 31% | Cymbeline (2015) |
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 | 24% | Out Of The Dark (2015) |
Out Of The Dark employs the usual scare tactics of creepy children and spooky legends.‐ 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)

|
| 2/5 | 13% | American Heist (2015) |
Just play Grand Theft Auto 5 instead.‐ The New Paper (Singapore)

|
| 4/5 | 9% | 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 | 17% | 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 | 24% | 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)

| 4/5 | 93% | Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) |
Even if TFA is mostly fan service, I'll take it.‐ The New Paper (Singapore)

| 4/5 | 74% | The Hateful Eight (2015) |
Westerns aren't usually my thing, but Quentin Tarantino may have converted me.‐ 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 | 61% | Race (2016) |
As a rags-to-riches tale set against a fascinating historic backdrop, Race is a joy from start to finish.‐ The New Paper (Singapore)

| 3/5 | No Score Yet | In the Room (2015) |
The common thread is the love, lust and longing its occupants experience.‐ The New Paper (Singapore)

|
| 4/5 | 52% | 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)
