Fragments of a superstar

» The very first movie I ever saw about Michael Jackson was 1988's Moonwalker. It was also one of the first films I ever paid to see in a cinema with my own money as a kid. Why? Because, like everyone else at the time, we all adored the King of Pop. He wasn't just a pop star -- he was a global phenomenon, something larger than life.
More mystery than horror?

» After weeks of building hype, especially with a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score before it even opened in cinemas, Weapons arrives with massive expectations. And despite there being only four months left in 2025, many are already calling it the scariest movie of the year.

» The Better Sister is the kind of show that proves that even with a stellar cast, a gripping premise and polished production, there's no guarantee it will deliver a consistently entertaining experience. That isn't to say the latest Prime Video mystery thriller is a bad series -- far from it -- but it struggles to stand out in a genre already saturated with stronger contenders. We've probably seen a dozen shows that handled similar material with more finesse and momentum.

» Thai soap operas have long captivated audiences with stories of the privileged class, wealthy families and the dark secrets lurking behind their glamorous lives. These narratives often come with exaggerated melodrama, a hallmark of the genre that audiences never seem to tire of. Over the years, countless tales have recycled these familiar plotlines, delivering high drama and scandal in a formula that consistently draws viewers.

» Tár is set in the contemporary world of Western classical music and centres on Lydia Tár, one of the world's most prolific composer-conductors and first ever female music director of a major German orchestra. While the film has the look and feel of a biopic, Lydia Tár is a fictional character. As portrayed here by Cate Blanchett, she's at the absolute height of her career and there seems to be no limit to what she's able to achieve. She's smart, talented, passionate about music and is ready to take her career to new heights. We see her as she goes about preparing to release her book titled Tár On Tár, as well as conduct a concert in which she tackles Mahler's most complex musical piece, the Fifth Symphony.

Inside the mind of a monster

» 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.
When art imitates a not-so-good life

» On the surface, it's easy to judge Luckiest Girl Alive as another movie made to support #Metoo and other movements. Sure, this new mystery/drama film is clearly trying to shed light on quite a few touchy subjects and heavy issues, whether it's school bullying, class conflict, sexual abuse or mass shootings. But more often than not, fiction is inspired by reality. And with gripping storytelling, good character design and development, Luckiest Girl Alive is definitely a thrilling watch. The film sees the return of actress Mila Kunis as a woman whose perfect life is corroded by her past trauma and emotional scars. The film provides the audience an insight into the complicated reality of how survivors and victims endure on a daily basis.
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.
