» By the time audiences left theatres in 2016 after watching The Accountant, they had encountered a singular kind of action hero: Christian Wolff, a maths savant with a sniper's eye and a code of honour all his own. In The Accountant 2, director Gavin O'Connor and writer Bill Dubuque thread through a high-stakes murder mystery, the harrowing underworld of human trafficking and a fragile bond between two damaged brothers.

» In an era saturated with 3D animations and live-action Marvel movies, X-Men '97, with its old-school animation style picks up where the original 90s series left off and is a much-needed breath of fresh air. With the first four out of 10 episodes of the debut season now available on Disney+, the verdict so far is surprisingly satisfying.

Half-baked superhero comedy
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 16/04/2021
» It's not difficult to tell the difference between good and bad comedy movies. A good comedy is simply a film that makes us laugh, and those that fail to do that are easily forgotten. When I first heard that the latest Netflix original Thunder Force was written and directed by Melissa McCarthy's husband, Ben Falcone, who has also directed movies like Tammy (2014), The Boss (2016), Life Of The Party (2018) and Superintelligence (2020), I was bracing for the worst. Although Thunder Force may be a step up from Falcone's previous films as it attempts to bring a new story to the table -- the superhero angle in this case -- everything else is straight from the script, from execution to the jokes which all missed the mark.

» Four years ago when the Justice League film first came out it got mixed bag reviews. Many DC comic and movie fans even dismissed the film for its poor, unfocused script. It was mostly because the film suffered a difficult production and underwent major changes between 2016 and 2017. It was reported that Zack Snyder even stepped down during the production due to a family tragedy, then Joss Whedon came in to change things around and probably ended up changing things a little too much than they should have been.
2020: The year virtual concerts took off
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 22/12/2020
» International concerts were absent for much of 2020 as every tour and festival was postponed or cancelled due to the pandemic. While there was not much to look forward to, one ray of hope we had amid the absence of live music was to see the number of artists around the globe covering all genres turning to the virtual world as a new medium to engage with their music fans. They took to social media live-streaming to give fans a much-needed virtual music fix and while the novelty of DIY online concerts filmed in artist's living rooms and home studios via Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube wore off after a few days in quarantine, many musicians and music labels quickly became even more creative in lockdown and evolved a whole raft of innovative and all-round entertaining virtual concerts bringing the new experience of live music into people's homes.
