» How many war films have we seen in our lives? Even enthusiasts of war films who think they know history are often surprised to discover new tales. And this is one of the great things about cinema as it allows us to re-examine overlooked moments in history.

» By now, everyone is probably aware of OnlyFans, an online social media platform known for allowing anyone to share 18+ content in order to make money.

This Gyllenhaal watch can be enjoyed to the end

» Over the past few decades, we have seen Jake Gyllenhaal's massive transformation from being a Hollywood teenage heartthrob into one of the most diverse acting resumes around. Some of his best roles recently, usually revolve around high drama stories or within crime and thriller genres, like David Ayer's cop drama End Of Watch, Denis Villeneuve's Prisoners (2013) or Dan Gilroy's thriller Nightcrawler (2014). In between those years, Gyllenhaal's fun and expressive eyes became less reactive and more serious and grim. The Guilty, a new Netflix drama, feels almost like a continuation of that same persona by Gyllenhaal but with a unique and gripping story about a police officer at a 911 call centre in a high-stakes game against time to stop a kidnapping. It's a remake of the 2018 Danish film of the same name, directed by Antoine Fuqua of Training Day (2001), Brooklyn's Finest (2009) and Southpaw (2015) fame.

» Much like the romantic comedy, the action buddy comedy is one of the most popular movie genres, with its generic formula that Hollywood has been tirelessly recycling since it was popularised by the 70 and 80s. The formula usually falls on comedy and action elements with plots involving two people of conflicting personalities who are forced to work together to solve a crime.
Abandon hope all ye who enter here

» January is often the dumping ground for bad movies. It's a slow month at the box office in the run up to the Oscars, and many studios take the opportunity to release low quality titles, some of which may have been collecting dust on the shelf for years. Released on Jan 3 in the US, The Grudge is the latest in this long, tiresome tradition of beginning-of-the-year trash.
Comedic fun with whodunnit
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 13/12/2019
» Old-fashioned whodunnit or detective murder-mystery stories are very successful as novels and television series, but we don't get to see as many of them on film nowadays, let alone a decent one. We may have had the remake of Murder On The Orient Express two years ago, although the movie was kind of a flop, or there's the Sherlock Holmes movie franchise with Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. But even those are based on already very popular characters in literature.
