Something old, slightly new
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 27/03/2026
» It's common to see that when a film achieves great success with its first instalment, Hollywood quickly pushes for a sequel to capitalise on fan demand and the promise of massive box office returns -- even when the original story has little left to explore.
Too long, too limp
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 27/02/2026
» Years after the Fifty Shades trilogy dominated pop culture, erotic thrillers have become a rarer breed. The genre hasn't disappeared entirely -- last year's breakout hit The Housemaid, starring Sydney Sweeney, proved there's still an appetite for stories that blend sex, suspense and psychological danger -- but they don't arrive as frequently as they once did.

» There's nothing remotely original about the plot of Netflix's new romantic comedy French Lover. A self-absorbed movie star meets a down-on-her-luck "ordinary" woman who teaches him the true meaning of life.

Prime Video drama presents mother versus girlfriend showdown
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 19/09/2025
» The story of a mother-in-law clashing with her son's partner -- and the hapless son stuck in the middle -- feels universal. It's a tale many people can recognise, either from personal experience or from watching families around them unravel in similar ways. Prime Video seems particularly fond of this theme lately, frequently pushing dramas about dysfunctional families. This year alone, they've released titles like Better Sister and We Were Liars. Whether or not you'll enjoy their latest entry, The Girlfriend, depends largely on how much patience you have for this type of conflict-driven domestic drama.

» Happy Gilmore is back 29 years after the original movie helped make Adam Sandler a comedy superstar. Whether you're a fan of the 1996 film or not, there's no denying how important Happy Gilmore was to pop culture at the time and how it cemented itself as a cult sports comedy beloved by multiple generations.
Girls gone bad
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 18/07/2025
» Remember the popular HBO series Girls from over a decade ago? The show was widely recognised for its postfeminist commentary on female sexuality and millennial angst and it ran for a surprisingly long six seasons. To this day, I still don't really understand the rave reviews. I only watched a few episodes here and there, so I won't pretend to be an expert on it, but what I saw never quite resonated with me.
