» Going into the first episode of the new Netflix series set in Ireland, How To Get To Heaven From Belfast, I was quite sceptical, as the setup somewhat reminded me of Stephen King's IT -- a group of nerdy childhood friends, now adults, returning to their hometown after 26 years to confront old fears and a dark secret from their past.

» After his Oscar-sweeping triumph Parasite (2019), Bong Joon-ho had carte blanche to do just about anything. His follow-up? Mickey 17 -- a US$115 million (3.8 billion baht) sci-fi dark comedy that's equal parts existential nightmare, absurdist farce and strangely, a love story. Based on Edward Ashton's novel Mickey7, the film is genre-defying, thought-provoking and often downright bizarre -- in the best way possible.

This was followed by the echoing sounds of screaming fans as Ji-soo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa finally appeared on stage. Some fans had actually waited for them since early morning that day.

» Sleep is the best time of day for the body to rest and let go of things we have to face. Dreams are also commonly associated with sleep. Assuming you sleep like a regular person each night, you should have a few dreams, most of which will generally be forgotten, unless they are nightmares.

» 'Wow! There are a lot of foreigners here. Is there a concert here tonight?" a taxi driver asked while dropping me off in front of the Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani last Wednesday. "Billie who? Never heard of them. Are they popular?" Of course, there are some people who have never heard of Billie Eilish before. But definitely not the thousands of people gathered at the arena. In fact, most have been waiting more than three years to see this actual concert.

» 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.

Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 08/08/2022
» There's always a first time for everyone. After three years of living life virus free, I got Covid-19 from a friend after attending a concert recently. However, to my surprise, my first experience wasn't all that terrible. I felt mildly ill, with fever and body aches, but no sore throat or a lung infection. Fortunately, I was able to look after myself at home and the symptoms only lasted a week.
