The Rock twists, turns and cracks a few eggs
Life, Yvonne Bohwongprasert, Published on 26/11/2021
» Netflix's latest action-comedy Red Notice has a couple of things going for it. A-listers Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot, and a US$200 million (6.6 billion baht) budget. Where it falls flat is in its attempt at keeping it original.

» Whether you are a fan of big-budget action or heist genre films, seeing massive Hollywood stars like Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Gal Gadot plastered on the poster of the latest Netflix original Red Notice felt like a no-brainer crowd pleaser. And it's true, as the film is now among the top five most-watched titles on the service, and has already logged 277.9 million hours within less than two weeks of its release.

In praise of crazy
Life, Ung-Aang Talay, Published on 01/03/2016
» There is a story by the American writer Donald Barthelme in which a condemned man is offered the chance to hear one last song before he is executed. He requests Charles Ives' Fourth Symphony, a good choice because with its demand for a huge orchestra, chorus, organ, three pianos (one tuned in quarter-tones), and ultra-complex scoring, the wait involved in preparing a performance would be sure to keep him alive for a long time.
