» 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.

» 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.

» 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.

» 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.

» 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?

» 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.

» Even though Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, was a strong supporting character rather than a main title character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), she developed a great deal as one of the Avengers since her first appearance over a decade ago in Iron Man 2 (2010). So it's quite hard to believe that Black Widow finally got a solo adventure.
