The story is about how a fan of spider-man became a spider man himself together with other spider-people from other universes.
Liked the nice comic strip style of animation! It was interesting to see so many different types of spider-people!

Searching
The story is about a man searching for his daughter online when she suddenly went missing.
Liked the interesting idea of getting the audience to watch the computer screen to find out what was happening! Nice twist in the plot towards the end!

Memory Games
This is a documentary about the lives of a few memory athletes around the world.
I had imagined all of them to have a nerdy look but I was surprised! The interviewees included a woman with purple hair and a tall man who was into mountaineering and crossfit among others! None of them wore spectacles!

The Red Turtle
The story is about what happened when a man met a red turtle on a deserted island.
Liked the beautiful sounds of nature and operatic voice! Was a little bit shocked by the twist in the middle of the film but the plot flowed quite smoothly forward after that.

Brene Brown: The Call to Courage
This is a talk by best seller writer Brene Brown on the meaning of courage.
Liked the many real life examples of courage that were peppered with humour! My mental image of a courageous person used to be a young fit man fighting a tiger with his bare hands, but I realized that anybody could be courageous after her talk.

Joshua: Teenager vs. Superpower
This is a documentary on Joshua, a young activist in Hong Kong who protested against mandatory National Education in 2012 and was one of the leaders in the 2014 Occupy Central movement.
Liked how passionate Joshua was about his cause! Not sure if civil disobedience really helped in achieving his goals though.

A Clockwork Orange
The story is about how a young delinquent tries to turn over a new leaf after he was caught by the police.
Liked the nice classical music soundtrack! The film made me reflect on whether punishment is really the best way to make a child behave. It is sad if they do something out of fear rather than out of their own free choice.

Ten Years
The film consists of five short stories on what might happen in Hong Kong ten years later in 2025.
Liked the "Dialect" the best as it related the story of an ordinary taxi driver. "Extras" and "Self Immolator" were action packed but most controversial as they portrayed the central government as a big bad bully. "Season of the End" was too abstract for me. "Local Egg" was a nice reminder that we should think for ourselves.

Beyond the Curve
This is a documentary on people who believed that the earth is flat.
Liked the interviews with psychologists, physicists and the flat earth society members! They helped me to understand why people would think differently from others despite evidences that showed otherwise.

Feminists: What Were They Thinking?
This is a documentary about women who modeled for a photo book about feminists during the late 1970s.
Liked the interesting personal stories of these women! I think present day society would be very different without the feminist movement. Women might still be stuck at home being a housewife, earn less pay than men and have no legal means to abort their babies.

The Barkley Marathons: The Race that Eats Its Young
This is a documentary of the 2012 Barkley Marathon which is a 100 mile trail race with a cut-off timing of 60 hours.
Liked the quirky organizer who created the race with inspiration from a prison break that lasted about 60 hours! The cuts on the racers' feet looked terrible!

Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru
This is a documentary about a professional speaker named Tony Robbins at his 2014 "Date With Destiny" seminar.
Liked the day by day account on the six day seminar which is filled with personal anecdotes! I was amazed by how he could ask the audience really deep questions about themselves to find out the root cause of their problems!

The Redeemed and the Dominant: Fittest on Earth
This is a documentary of the 2017 Cross Fit games to find the fittest person on earth.
This felt like a sequel to "Fittest on Earth: A Decade of Fitness", same few athletes but one year older. I learned more about the actual Cross Fit games events in this film.
