» I usually have a soft spot for Scandinavian thrillers. Oftentimes, they're so unique and interesting that Hollywood ends up remaking them -- like The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2009) or The Hunt (2012). There's a kind of slow-burning tension and cold realism to them that you don't always get in American shows. However, while that's usually the case, I have to say that The Glass Dome, the new six-episode Netflix series, doesn't quite measure up -- even though it has potential.

» Remember Michael Davis' action-packed Shoot 'Em Up from 2007? Even though it went on to become a favourite among action fans, the reviews when it first came out were divided. Some found the plot to be non-existent and had nothing appealing besides gunfights and explosions. Carter, a new South Korean action thriller about an amnesiac agent who is given an impossible mission, is another movie that follows the Shoot 'Em Up formula, where only action makes sense.

» We all know that people have different IQs and intelligence, and those who are smarter are more likely to have an advantage or even be able to influence others. They also tend to make better decisions and have the ability to persuade others. However, some people misuse that gift to deceive, manipulate and take advantage. If you're unlucky, having someone like this get involved in your life means they can make it a nightmare in no time.

» The Korean wave is unstoppable and this phenomenon is not just happening in Asia.

This has boosted the profile of Korean content and increased its quality, helping it get more investments and new fans across the globe.

» Following the ending of his 2016 film, Split, the king of movie twists M. Night Shyamalan had managed to surprise us all once again by revealing that the film's scary villain and the multi-personality serial killer Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy) actually exists in the same universe as David Dunn (Bruce Willis), a main character in Unbreakable (2000), one of Shyamalan's most successful films and often regarded as one of the best superhero films ever made.
