» Embarking on a journey through Vietnam, one may find the allure of cities like Hanoi, Sapa, Hue and Da Nang. However, the southern gem of Ho Chi Minh City or Saigon has been an unsung hero in recent years. Despite being Vietnam's largest city and a nexus of culture, history, and commerce, it seems the city has been overshadowed. Our insightful guide Yuu pondered: "Perhaps familiarity with the city has bred a desire for new horizons or maybe Ho Chi Minh hasn't been given the tourism spotlight it deserves."

» 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.

Making amends
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 17/09/2021
» Whether you believe in life after death or not, we can all agree that it would be nice to have more time to settle matters or have the chance to say goodbye to loved ones before we continue our journey into the afterlife. This combination of romance and supernatural has been used in a number of films over the years like Ghost, a blockbuster hit from 1990, and more recently in Endless (2020). These films are usually designed to be feel-good or tear-jerkers and you'll get both from the latest Netflix original Afterlife Of The Party.
