Pretty vacant
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 23/01/2026
» As far as cop thrillers go, The Rip checks a lot of familiar boxes. It's gritty, it's propulsive -- at least in theory -- and it clearly wants to position itself as a throwback to those older, morally murky crime dramas about corrupt cops and fractured loyalties.
Farewell frights
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 05/09/2025
» After more than a decade of terrifying audiences with four feature films and an array of spin-offs, The Conjuring: Last Rites arrives as the supposed final chapter in the saga of Ed and Lorraine Warren. This film is positioned as an emotionally driven farewell to the famous paranormal investigators, who face one last case against a vengeful entity they can no longer avoid.
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.
A pitch perfect pairing

» What makes an action movie exciting and enjoyable, even when the story is simple or predictable? It doesn't happen often, but every now and then, a film comes along that proves a formulaic plot doesn't have to be a dealbreaker. Enter Prime Video's latest buddy action flick, Heads Of State -- a wild, high-energy, odd-couple romp that resurrects a familiar formula and injects it with sharp comedic timing and absurdly fun set pieces. Idris Elba and John Cena are the unexpected duo that make it all work.
A modern martial arts tale

» When Karate Kid: Legends lands in cinemas on July 17, it won't be just another sequel -- it will mark a long-awaited cinematic reunion decades in the making. Directed by Jonathan Entwistle and produced by Karen Rosenfelt, the film unites martial arts icons Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio on screen for the first time while introducing rising star Ben Wang as the new face of the franchise.
When two genres collide
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 21/03/2025
» I am always intrigued when filmmakers attempt to blend two polar opposite genres -- such as horror and comedy -- just to see how it turns out. These films can either be a surprising hit or an awkward miss. In the case of The Parenting, the latest comedy-horror offering from MAX, I'd say it unfortunately leans closer to the miss side. While it has a decent premise and some entertaining moments, the overall execution falls flat, making it feel more like a missed opportunity than a memorable film.
A time-travelling tale that doesn't click
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 15/11/2024
» The combination of a coming-of-age story and a masked serial killer is a familiar formula. But Time Cut, Netflix's latest teen slasher, attempts to elevate this well-worn genre by adding a twist of sci-fi and time travel. At first glance, this new approach is intriguing, promising a mix of Back To The Future and Scream, but does it deliver?
A fast-paced vampire thriller
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 11/10/2024
» As a devoted fan of Stephen King since youth, I am familiar with Salem's Lot and its chilling narrative of bloodthirsty vampires infiltrating a small town. Many will recall the 1979 TV series adaptation, a tale potent enough to dissuade late-night trips to the kitchen or even a glance out the window.

» Don't miss your chance to secure tickets to see Filipino-American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo who recently announced additional dates for her Guts World Tour, which includes Thailand in the Asia leg.
Piecing together a lost night

» Gender inequality, sexual abuse and societal attitudes towards women are common issues in Southeast Asia, yet not many dare to bring such a topic into a story especially those from conservative countries. So to see Indonesian filmmaker Wregas Bhanuteja explore and highlight this in his directorial debut, Photocopier is absolutely a bold move and quite admirable. Although without much information on the film and whether this is based on a real event or not, Photocopier is a gritty, riveting dramatic crime mystery that feels realistic and honest.
