Talking Bright
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 05/01/2018
» Released globally a few weeks ago, Bright is the ambitious Netflix original genre-bending film that stars Will Smith and Joel Edgerton as cops in a present-day Los Angeles inhabited by mythical creatures like orcs and elves. The film is Netflix's biggest film to date with a budget of $90 million as well as a global press tour prior to the film's release.

Fickle friends

» While I praised the prime minister for his stance in wanting to promote the Bang Kaew dog breed, I'd also like to draw attention to our late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who adopted a stray dog presented to him, which became Thailand's number one, most famous dog.
