» To be fair, Kingsman: The Golden Circle -- the sequel to 2015's cheeky spy-parody Kingsman: The Secret Service -- manages to deliver on almost everything that made its original a surprise hit. The exaggerated sense of style, zany spy-gadgets and over-the-top fight choreography make their way from the first film, bolstered by an extended all-star cast that includes Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore, Channing Tatum, Halle Berry and Pedro Pascal.

» When looking at the CVs of fresh first-jobbers these days, it's not uncommon to see "proficiency in Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint" under the "technological skills" requirements. For most people, this simply communicates their familiarity with the programs in question -- and many people think everyone can use MS Word or PowerPoint.

» It's September again. While that may not mean a lot to some (namely Android users), for fans of Apple's iOS products, September is the usually when the tech giant graces the world with a glimpse at its latest line-up of new phones, tablets and smartwatches, due to be available in the holiday season. This year's announcement event -- as always -- was live-streamed for Apple fans all over the world. In Thailand, the announcement presentation began late at night on Sept 12, with the highlights being the much-anticipated iPhone 8 and iPhone X (pronounced "ten").
Not a bad Omen

» In a world where even laptop computers are coming out of the box with 4K capabilities, I found it a little discouraging that the HP Omen Desktop 880 couldn't support ultra-HD resolutions (we received the 021d model for review). Don't get me wrong: it's certainly as powerful as you'd expect from a dedicated gaming PC, capable of running even graphically-intense games like Total War or GTA V at maximum settings without so much as a stutter. It also comes in a sleek, sci-fi-esque chassis that is actually more practical than it looks, one that houses an impressive AMD Ryzen7 1800x processor and 16GB of RAM.
Who knew space could be so shallow?

» To be honest, there's a lot that Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets -- the latest space opera from French director Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Taken) -- does well. Its universe, filled with diverse alien creatures and sprawling cities, brings to mind the likes of Star Wars, so rich with life and culture. The diversity of the aliens makes the action equally exciting, as the esoteric weapons and technology of each race come into play in unexpected ways. It's also quite humorous, with a surprisingly light-hearted script for a movie about genocide and military conspiracies.
Finding space in the Spider-Man universe
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 07/07/2017
» From quizzes and club activities to agonising over an uninterested crush, the high-school experience is fraught with peril for the average teenager. When said teenager has superpowers, and desperately wants to impress Ironman so he can join the Avengers, things can get even trickier, as Peter Parker (Tom Holland) finds out in Spider-Man: Homecoming, the webslinger's solo-debut feature under Marvel's cinematic universe. Trading in the usual cataclysmic conflicts of Marvel's earlier films for a more personal story of responsibility (a Spider-Man staple) and maturity, Homecoming manages to feel like a fresh take on the (arguably) tired Marvel formula, being the best Spider-Man film since 2004's Spider-Man 2.
