A modern twist to an old story
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 16/09/2022
» Pinocchio is the latest to join Disney's assembly line of turning classic cartoons into computer-generated live-action remakes. In this film, Forrest Gump (1994), Cast Away (2000) and The Polar Express (2004) director Robert Zemeckis is reunited with Tom Hanks, who retells the tale of a wooden puppet who embarks on a thrilling adventure to become a real boy. Despite the high-budget production, and the director's attempt to bring an old-fashioned story with a modern voice, Pinocchio feels somewhat lifeless and in the middle of the mediocre pack.

» When a friend can no longer complete a promise made to a past sweetheart, you decide to take his place and set out on a wild adventure to fulfil your friend's lifelong dream. For computer-animated and musical films, this premise is nothing new and you have seen it countless times, especially in Pixar movies like Up (2009), Inside Out (2015) and the Toy Story franchise.

» A millennial comet is hurtling past Earth and two Japanese teenagers wake up one morning with their bodies switched, living each other's life and dreaming each other's dream. Mitsuha in a small rural town becomes Taki, and Taki in Tokyo becomes Mitsuha. Then time bends, souls migrate, the sky bursts, and the painful transience of love pushes and pulls the two high-schoolers in a conspiracy of stars (and quantum physics, maybe).

» Any child of the ’90s will remember the hugely popular character Max Steel. Kids everywhere loved to collect the action figures and read about the superhero’s adventures in his comic books. Max even had his own cartoon series, which ran from 2000 to 2002. In 2013, the show was successfully rebooted and this renewed popularity led to a new movie, the live-action adaptation of Max Steel.
Descendants of dance

» Kenny Ortega has another hit on his hands. If there's a movie featuring dancing, then we tend to think of this acclaimed American director, producer and choreographer. Ortega is behind various cult musical phenomena that different generations of teens have grown up with, from the 1987 film Dirty Dancing, Michael Jackson's This Is It concerts, to the globally-embraced High School Musical trilogy.

» As a rain shower stopped over Hong Kong Disneyland, our tourist group stepped into the "Frozen" zone, the park's newest themed area based on the animated film. After walking through the entrance of the Sleeping Beauty Castle and keeping left, we saw a small castle decorated like the one seen in Frozen. Looking up at the surroundings and seeing Queen Elsa and Princess Anna, we felt we were part of the fairy tale.
