» 2025 was a year defined by contradiction in the world of cinema. It was marked by the loss of several influential figures in the entertainment industry, moments that cast a long shadow over the year and reminded us how fragile even the most celebrated creative legacies can be.

» 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.

» After his Oscar-sweeping triumph Parasite (2019), Bong Joon-ho had carte blanche to do just about anything. His follow-up? Mickey 17 -- a US$115 million (3.8 billion baht) sci-fi dark comedy that's equal parts existential nightmare, absurdist farce and strangely, a love story. Based on Edward Ashton's novel Mickey7, the film is genre-defying, thought-provoking and often downright bizarre -- in the best way possible.

There have been plenty of movies and documentaries covering this topic, from Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin's The Rescue and Ron Howard's thrilling drama Thirteen Lives to Emmy-winner Pailin Wedel's upcoming documentary The Trapped 13: How We Survived The Thai Cave.

» I was first introduced to Jordan Peele in his directorial debut Get Out in 2017. As soon as it came out, the film was an instant favourite and considered a trendsetter in the thriller, horror and dark comedy genre not because of its cinematography, suspenseful storyline or giving newcomers like Daniel Kaluuya a big break, but for being thought-provoking and weaving trenchant social critiques into an effective film. Despite being produced by horror studio Blumhouse, the film had the vibe of an A24 release instead.

» In the past few years, Netflix and the Korean entertainment industry have taken the country's original streaming content to another level. The phenomenon has impacted not just locally, but worldwide too. With its own solid storytelling style, there's no tale from Hollywood today that Koreans can't do.

» While the idea of Korea and space exploration in reality may still be too far-fetched, South Korean filmmakers seem to be interested in exploring the search of mysterious planets above the sky. After we got the high-octane space adventure Space Sweepers on Netfllix earlier this year, the service recently gave us another outer-space show. The Silent Sea is a mystery thriller series that tackles the darker aspect of space missions and goes even further and deeper into conspiracy and mystery with its revelations and how this all connects to human civilisation's impending doom.

» 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.
