    A plea for tradition

    Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 25/10/2021

As a movie critic who's been mainly working from home for the last 15 months, I miss the ambience of cinema -- the smell of popcorn, the posters advertising coming attractions or the greats of cinema's glory years.

    The Covid conundrum

    Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 26/04/2021

    » From the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, Thailand has been a relative success story with low infection rates. However, a third wave is now hitting hard and ruining the hopes of people just as the country was gearing up for a rebound. Despite the increase in cases with over 1,000 plus infections being reported for several days and 120 deaths, there's no sign that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and his government will announce a nationwide lockdown.

    Have no fear of missing out on Malevolent

    Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 20/11/2020

    » With the impact of the coronavirus on the global film industry causing cinemas around the world, including Thailand, to struggle with a lack of big releases, it's understandable that the number of movies showing in theatres nowadays aren't as diverse as usual. And without new blockbuster films to show, we've seen many cinemas rerun old movies in the past few months, whether it's Hong Kong action/drama classic A Moment Of Romance (1990), Christopher Nolan's sci-fi epic Inception (2010), Korean zombie movie Train To Busan (2016), or action hit starring Keanu Reeves John Wick Chapter 3 (2019).
