» Last Saturday saw many fans and film lovers from everywhere gather from morning to evening in front of Scala Theatre, Bangkok's last stand-alone cinema and the magnificent architectural icon of the Siam Square area. People stood in line for hours to buy advance tickets for the farewell programmes in the "La Scala" event organised in conjunction with the Thai Film Archive, which will take place on Saturday and Sunday before the movie theatre closes its doors for good after serving Thai cinemagoers for more than half-a-century.

» I'm not afraid of a long story and in fact enjoy long movies if the film is engaging or when there is a payoff. A lengthy movie means there's more room for the filmmaker to add more complexity and character development. I will gladly sit there for three or four hours and love every second of it. But sadly, that's not the case with Netflix's original action/heist thriller The Last Days Of American Crime. During its two hours and 30 minutes, I found myself struggling to finish the film the entire time.

The Lovebirds glides along

» I discovered both director Michael Showalter and actor Kumail Nanjiani for the first time back in 2017 at the press screening for a romcom I then knew very little about called The Big Sick. And with its indie-ish charm, Nanjiani's witty performances, clever jokes about romance and cultural identity, The Big Sick turned out to be one of the movies I most remember from that same year. So I was really excited to hear they teamed up once again in the new comedy The Lovebirds, which is now streaming on Netflix. And although the new film is an entirely different beast and may not be as good as its predecessor, The Lovebirds still manages to deliver a semi-good laugh, and a heartwarming love story.
Newish twist on a classic tale

» Growing up, we were all familiar with the name of the Brothers Grimm who left us such an astounding legacy of folklore and fairy tales collected and published from the 19th century, like Snow White, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Beauty And The Beast, that have been made into hundreds of TV shows and films, animated and otherwise, over the years. However, when we think of fairy tales, we most likely think of cute Disney versions, but the original Grimm fairy tales weren't actually intended for children and are incredibly gruesome in tone.

Too much Kareem
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 10/04/2020
» Much like the romantic comedy, the action buddy comedy is one of the most popular movie genres, with its generic formula that Hollywood has been tirelessly recycling since it was popularised by the 70 and 80s. The formula usually falls on comedy and action elements with plots involving two people of conflicting personalities who are forced to work together to solve a crime.
