    Half-baked superhero comedy

    Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 16/04/2021

    » It's not difficult to tell the difference between good and bad comedy movies. A good comedy is simply a film that makes us laugh, and those that fail to do that are easily forgotten. When I first heard that the latest Netflix original Thunder Force was written and directed by Melissa McCarthy's husband, Ben Falcone, who has also directed movies like Tammy (2014), The Boss (2016), Life Of The Party (2018) and Superintelligence (2020), I was bracing for the worst. Although Thunder Force may be a step up from Falcone's previous films as it attempts to bring a new story to the table -- the superhero angle in this case -- everything else is straight from the script, from execution to the jokes which all missed the mark.

    Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 12/02/2021

    » There's a certain type of thriller movie in which filmmakers try to bring something different to the table by designing a plot with the main character getting stuck in a single location while having to deal with a series of life-and-death situations.
