The Messengers
Danny and Oxide Pang (The Eye), shame on you! We all knew it was only a matter of time before your innovative and intelligent take on the horror genre put you guys on Hollywood’s radar, but did you really have to debut with the tired rehash of horror clichés that is The Messengers?Leaving big city […]
The Highlander Bar & Restaurant | Review
We’ve rarely had a great meal at most bar cum restaurants, and Scottish hangout Highlander at Clarke Quay is just another one of them.

We know what you’re thinking: “But isn’t this is the same guy who was all giggly in Good Morning, Vietnam and played the conscience-laden burglar that protected the kid in Panic Room? How menacing could this guy be?” […]
Half Nelson
Dan Dunne (Ryan Gosling, The Notebook) teaches and coaches in a neighborhood high school. He’s well liked by his class and his methods are a little different from what you’d expect from a teacher—much like his drug-fuelled personal life.
