I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020)
Am I WATCHING a movie or READING a novel?
Generally, I like this genre of movie. It usually starts with a little bit of confusing at the beginning, and the clues are revealed here and there with the story moving forward. This one was no exception, I kind of started piecing them together and figuring out what's going on here for the most part at the middle of the movie.
In "I'm Thinking of Ending Things", the plot of the story is great, the sequence of it is fine with me, and the acting is good too. However, this movie has way too much conversions in it, especially the first part of the movie, so I feel like reading a novel rather than watching a movie.
More than Blue: The Series (2021)
High Quality Cinematography
This is a very high quality series. The casting, script and acting are awesome, especially Gingle Wang a GREAT actress. The cinematography and soundtrack are perfect. However, somehow I feel a little bit dragging with the scenes in the present time of the first two episodes. Maybe I have watched the 2018 film and couldn't wait to get to the Cream and K's story. But don't get me wrong, the series is much better than the film in all aspects.
Wo men yu e de ju li (2019)
Good series, but with shaking camera
This series carries the story line out pretty well despite the topics are very sensitive and heavy. However, I couldn't help to notice two things throughout the whole show: the camera was shaking all the time, and there was lack of transition from one scene to another.

Ghost Story Yes...But Not Horror One
This series has a good plot and it is slightly different from the movie which is a good thing to me. This is a ghost story but barely a horror one. Well...there are one or two typical scary scenes in the earlier episodes, but that's all about it. If you expect to see an intense horror/thriller or fast-paced series, it is probably not one for you. However, there is a good story and the series is well made (the CG part needs some improvement tho).
Fan xiao (2019)
Thriller...Mystery...Not So Scary.....But there are more to it!
I expected to see a pure horror movie, but it turned out to be touched toward the end of the film. The acting of the two main actor and actress is pretty good in this one, especially the actress, Gingle Wang, outstanding performance. The plot is awesome, however I did not know anything about the original game before watching this film. Having the background history of the movie will be definitely enjoying it more, but it is still a worth watching even without it.
Nocturnal Animals (2016)
Emotional Resonance
The story itself is very simple, not any special or twist to be mentioned. However, the film is successfully create an emotional resonance throughout the entire movie by mixing three different pieces together as it goes. This reminds me another good movie I like titled Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land, which also has a similar technique but in a more direct way.
Before I Wake (2016)
Beautiful dreams with a twisting memory!
This film is better than what I was expected. I like the way it depicts our dreams and how our experience affects them. You will be surprised how our memories can be faded and so twisted through the time especially for the little kids.
