    Monstrously uninspiring

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 09/06/2017

    » Watching The Mummy -- the latest reboot of the classic Hollywood monster -- I couldn't help but recall a re-imagining of a similar classic Hollywood monster, 2014's Dracula Untold. Bashed by critics as a poor attempt at "superhero-izing" Dracula, it was largely recognised as a bad film, one that would most likely be better off with a stake in its metaphorical heart.

    Waiting on Vol 3

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 28/04/2017

    » Prior to 2014, most of us have probably never even heard of Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy series, let alone expect to see a high-budget film adaptation of it become universally praised. Filled with the humour, heart and the visual spectacles Marvel has always been so good at, director James Gunn captured lightning with the first film. Marvel seems to agree, which is why Vol 2 was produced, arriving in Thai theatres earlier this week.

    The power of love

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 24/05/2016

    » Love -- as many of us are perhaps too painfully aware -- can sometimes be as bitter as it can be sweet. Like the age old adage tells us, "where there is love, there is suffering"; and yet, love seems to be one of those things that is universally coveted by mankind, as if we expect this ethereal concept of expectations and desire to be the answer to all the world's woes. But what happens when love seems to be the source of those woes? Is it still worth it to hold on to love, even if we are slowly damning ourselves to a lifetime of suffering?

    » 1. Until March 31, Paul Smith -- the British fashion brand that coined the phrase "classic with a twist" -- will host a pop-up installation featuring home products from Italian brand Toiletpaper, a collection of classic-looking porcelain cups, bowls and plates that sport a variety of strange, printed patters, such as a horse, a plumber or a set of palm-less fingers (don't ask us why). The installations can be found at the Paul Smith official stores at EmQuartier and Siam Paragon.

    Beast of a political drama

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 09/09/2016

    » Ignore the giant, alien-looking kaiju on the film's posters; Shin Gojira (known in English as Godzilla Resurgence), a remake of the iconic 1954 film, is very much a relatively grounded political drama, trading in the spectacular giant-monster battles we've grown to expect of modern kaiju films for a more deliberate exploration of real-world politics, where indecision, unilateral national agendas and complicated bureaucratic protocols kill more innocent civilians than the titular kaiju ever could on its own.

    More is more in Civil War

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 29/04/2016

    » Walking into Captain America: Civil War, the 13th Marvel film to be released since 2008, I felt like I knew exactly what I was in for. Like with a good majority of Marvel's past films, I assumed this was going to be another two-and-a-half hours of excellent action and CGI imagery peppered with some witty dialogue, wrapped around a serviceable plot with an uninspired villain.

    Prioritising human rights

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 27/11/2017

    » What exactly is a human right? The most obvious way to answer that question may be to point toward the 30 Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Signed in 1948 and ratified by 48 out of 58 member countries of the UN at the time, the declaration affirms several rights an individual must be afforded as a human being, such as the right to life, opinions and expression, or the right to not be subjected to arbitrary imprisonment or torture.

    Putting financial catastrophe on display

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 15/03/2017

    » Can you imagine, Thailand's economy was once recognised by World Bank as the fastest-growing in the world? As tough as it is for younger generations to comprehend, those older than 35 remember a better, more hopeful time for Thailand, tipped to become the Fifth Tiger of Asia, poised to join Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan as Asia's leading economies. Our national economy grew 8-13% annually for a decade between 1985 to 1996, and the income of the average Thai citizen was three times that of someone in China.
