A retrospective of 2025's best movies and shows

Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 05/01/2026

» 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.

LIFE

The art of the kill

Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 03/06/2025

» The Final Destination franchise has always relished in turning the ordinary into the extraordinarily lethal -- delivering a pulse-pounding cocktail of suspense, chaos and inevitable death. Now, over a decade after the last instalment, the series is back on the big screen with Final Destination: Bloodlines, a visceral, terrifying reinvention that digs deeper into emotional stakes while doubling down on its signature Rube Goldberg-style carnage.

Deadly reunion

Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 06/05/2025

» 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.

» On a recent warm Bangkok evening, Shintaro Sakamoto stepped onto the stage at Maho Rasop Music Festival for his first-ever performance in Thailand. For fans of the Japanese singer/songwriter, it was an electrifying moment -- a rare opportunity to witness the visionary artist who has quietly redefined modern music with his eclectic blend of soft rock, reggae, bossa nova and psychedelia. As a founding member of the legendary rock band Yura Yura Teikoku and now a celebrated solo artist, Sakamoto's ability to push creative boundaries has made him a revered figure in Japan's music scene and beyond.

Can Cross break the curse?

Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 22/11/2024

» There seems to be a recurring curse when it comes to adapting James Patterson's best-selling Alex Cross novels for the screen. Those who grew up in the 90s may remember crime thrillers Kiss The Girls (1997) and Along Came A Spider (2001), starring Morgan Freeman as the titular forensic psychologist and detective. Despite box office successes, these films received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics. The 2012 reboot, Alex Cross, starring Tyler Perry, fared even worse. Panned by critics and ultimately a box office bomb, it led to the cancellation of a planned sequel.

Gritty Australian outback drama Territory takes the reins

Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 01/11/2024

» The premise of Territory tackles power struggles, complex family dynamics and the unyielding grit of frontier life. Described by some as the Australian answer to Yellowstone, this six-part neo-Western drama series brings its own distinct flavour to the genre. While the comparison is understandable, Territory stands firmly on its own, diverging from Yellowstone's influence to craft an original story.

A refreshing modern return

Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 05/04/2024

» 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.

United in grief

Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 11/11/2022

» The second instalment to Black Panther (2018) has become one of the most anticipated films this year, not only because fans are so excited of the continuation of this unique superhero story or the fate of the people of Wakanda, but also audiences are curious at which direction Marvel Studios is going to take this popular franchise, especially after the loss of main character King T'Challa played by the late actor Chadwick Boseman. What is it like having to balance loyalty to a fan base with a performer as regal and elegant as Boseman, along with the future of the franchise?
