» I was a little hesitant before going into Pistol, a music biographical drama miniseries, as I wasn't that convinced how the filmmaker is ever going to pull off such a story. The Sex Pistols was no doubt an important group in rock music history, having so much influence on the 70s UK punk movement as well as DIY and indie rock music a few decades later. However, their career was rather short, lasting a little over two years. Most of the news while they were active was rather negative with coverage focused more on scandals caused by the band members' behaviour than the actual music.

Sounds from the silver screen

» Has there ever been a more miraculous tunesmith than film composer John Williams? Following a fantastic evening of complete immersion in his best-known movie themes in the company of the marvellous Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra under the commanding baton of resident conductor Dr Vanich Potavanich, the answer last week was surely an unequivocal "No!". In yet another sold-out concert at the Thailand Cultural Centre on Nov 13, there were indeed some terrifying moments when the "Dark Side" was unleashed, however, for the most part, this was an evening of unadulterated, joyful reverie and fond recollections of all those treasured moments when we experienced these magical soundtracks for the first time in the movie theatre. The RBSO truly revelled in "Movie Themes By John Williams".
