» In the working-class suburbs of Philadelphia, an FBI agent leads a task force determined to stop a string of violent robberies carried out by an unlikely family. That's the central premise of Task, a seven-episode limited series starring Mark Ruffalo and Tom Pelphrey. The show is emotional, gritty and tense -- one of the new crime dramas that may well be worth your binge time.
Back in black

» After what feels like an eternity, Netflix has finally brought Jenna Ortega back to our screens -- and back to the shadowy corridors of Nevermore Academy -- in Wednesday Season 2. This time, we're getting the story in two halves: Part 1 now, Part 2 in September. That split alone is enough to test the patience of fans who have been waiting since the breakout first season, but at least these four new episodes offer enough twists, revelations, and deliciously dark moments to keep us hooked until the rest arrives.

» Like many others, I'm one who grew up loving the Indiana Jones franchise, especially the original trilogy. It opened my eyes to the world of adventure, Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford as a famed and loved archaeologist.
The illusion of justice

» Even after a three-year hiatus, ratings for the first season of period crime drama Perry Mason have made the show one of this year's highly anticipated shows. Perry Mason is known for its well-executed storytelling and performances by actors that make something old-fashioned feel new again. In fact, the show could have been HBO's highest-viewed series to date in terms of total viewers if not for the success of The Last Of Us.
Inside the mind of a monster
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 21/10/2022
» Why do many people seem to be fascinated by true crime stories, especially when it's about the lives of serial killers? I guess it's a morbid curiosity. As human nature, we keep wanting to watch these documentaries and movies. It's not because people enjoy watching horrific stuff, but we're trying to wrap our minds around how a person can be capable of doing something so dark and sinister.
A modern twist to an old story

» 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.
Passion play

» I was a little hesitant before going into Pistol, a music biographical drama miniseries, as I wasn't that convinced how the filmmaker is ever going to pull off such a story. The Sex Pistols was no doubt an important group in rock music history, having so much influence on the 70s UK punk movement as well as DIY and indie rock music a few decades later. However, their career was rather short, lasting a little over two years. Most of the news while they were active was rather negative with coverage focused more on scandals caused by the band members' behaviour than the actual music.
A simple story of the heart

» La Famille Bélier became my favourite film of the year as soon as I saw it for the first time in 2014. I liked it not because it was a foreign indie film or because I'm a fan of musicals, but because it was different from formulaic teen singing flicks like Pitch Perfect (2012) or Bandslam (2009), which were popular at the time. The film was a heartwarming comedy-drama that checked the boxes of a teen coming-of-age story. But who would have thought there would be a remake a few years later?
