Deep in the paradox
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 25/05/2022
» In Cairo, a religious student at the prestigious Al-Azhar Islamic University is recruited by secret police to infiltrate a Muslim Brotherhood cell. In Mashad, a holy city in Iran, a serial killer prowls a seedy suburb and strangles head-scarfed prostitutes. In the first film, bloodlust officials torture dissidents with abandon. In the second film, religion is evoked and the name of God is cited as a justification for murder. This begs the obvious question: Will Boy From Heaven be banned in Egypt, and Holy Spider Iran?
Serial killings or something more sinister?

» Ever since the success of the series Making A Murderer, which ran between 2015-2018, Netflix has kept its foot on the true-crime genre with various cases of serial killers highlighted over the years. Each year, the streaming platform has provided viewers with documentaries like the Ted Bundy Tapes (2019), Don't F**k With Cats (2019), The Ripper (2020), and Night Stalker (2021).
A bone-chilling mystery

» In recent years, Netflix has become the bona fide home of documentaries, particularly in the true-crime genre with releases such as Making A Murderer (2019), The Ripper (2020) and Night Stalker: The Hunt For A Serial Killer (2021). And following the success of Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes (2019), director Joe Berlinger returns with his latest effort, Crime Scene: The Vanishing At The Cecil Hotel, a docu-series which chronicles the case of 21-year-old Canadian tourist and college student Elisa Lam, who mysteriously disappeared during her stay at the infamous Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. As the episodes progress, what really happened gradually emerges and the truth will chill you to the bones.

End of fossil fuel?

» I'm not a linguist. I'm not proud of it. English is my first and only language, which is not to say that it's the only language worth knowing. I studied other languages in school, but couldn't get the hang of them. Neither am I well-versed in English. I'm not being modest. I look at Webster and Oxford with a groan.
Don't rain on my parade
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 19/07/2019
» The rainy season is in full swing and downpours are becoming more and more common, so us Bangkokians are either being rained upon or being beaten down by heat, so yay! While the rain (or the heat) tempts us all to lock ourselves up at home, that doesn't have to be the case. Rainy days don't necessarily mean bingeing Netflix shows (nothing bad about that though, you do you). But if you're getting a little bit of cabin fever and think that the pesky rain is keeping you from fun and entertaining stuff, think again. Guru has listed a number of indoor activities during the monsoons.
50 shades of cheese

» Blink and you'll miss it! The entrance to Ekamai 16 is rather small, narrow and the street sign is barely visible among Bangkok's iconic wire tangle. But what it leads to is a new restaurant serving good old American fare, complete with craft beers -- The Fat Tap. The casual setting in a townhouse is all wood, which is a step up from owner Matthew Fischer's very popular Fatty's Bar and Diner on Din Daeng. The Fat Tap has the cosy feel of a hip hostel, minus the backpackers, with long wooden benches softened by throw pillows. Classic tracks from yesteryear blast in the background and add more character compared to the other pricey craft beer places found in the area.
