He came armed. The laughter ricocheting the stadium as Russell Peters fired one joke after another is not for the faint-hearted. Comedian Russell Peters performed in Singapore for the fifth time this year in his new world tour, DEPORTED. As usual, Russell Peter ad-libbed his material to suit Singapore’s multicultural society so no one was left spared! The night opened first with legendary Jake Johannsen with his usual weird stories that kept us in fits of laughter. Johanssen’s 30-minute of the limelight was warmly received, but he hardly brought the house down. That glory was reserved for the night’s headliner,…

According to the AUGUSTMAN, when asked why he chose Singapore for the fifth time,…

“Zootopia” is set in a world of anthropomorphised animals, bringing across race relation issues where prey and predator live in harmony through evolution in a light-hearted comedy. Because it won’t be a kids movie if everyone got eaten. The directors of Zootopia have an impressive past records – Byron Howard (Bolt and Tangled), Rich Moore (Wreck-it Ralph) and co-directed by Jared Bush (Big Hero 6). Zootopia did not disappoint with its visual storytelling. The old school detective story revolves around a righteous rural young bunny, Judy Hopps, who dreams of being a police officer, an impossible feat even though she becomes…

Ah, yes… the movie where Zac Efron’s abs character from “Neighbours” joins the tired lascivious road trip comedy plot. Considering Robert De Niro is one of the greatest actors of his generation, this is a new low with raunchy, offensive scenes slapped all over the cliché plot of road trips going haywire. Think “The Hangover” meets “Neighbours”. The plot, a non-existent one, revolves around the army veteran Dick (De Niro) tricking his uptight grandson Jason Kelly (Efron) into a road trip after the death of Efron’s grandmother. As it is Dick and his wife’s customary tradition make a road trip to South…
