    Neon-splashed altered reality

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 09/02/2018

    » Part Blade Runner, part samurai Western, Netflix's Altered Carbon is one of its most interesting originals yet. With its 10-episode season released last Friday, the series is set in a futuristic, neon-splashed world, where death has been conquered thanks to a mysterious alien technology that allows people to digitally store their consciousness and personalities before downloading them into new bodies.

    Living forever

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 30/01/2018

    » A new scientific study has been published on the upper limits of the human lifespan. While medical advances continue to lengthen the average time a human stays alive on Earth, scientists have determined that the maximum age a human can likely survive is no longer than 120 years, due to physical imperfections in the gene-replication process. Like all things borne of flesh, our bodies can only alter the natural force of entropy for so long before we break down forever.

    Please, touch the art

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 09/08/2017

    » It's not easy learning art when you can't see. For many blind or visually-impaired students in a regular school curriculum, art class can become a tedious and limited affair. While they may be able to memorise names and dates for a quiz, blind students can struggle to keep up with their visually normal peers in more practical tasks or assignments, creating a gap between the capabilities of visually-impaired and regular students.

    Beast of a political drama

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 09/09/2016

    » Ignore the giant, alien-looking kaiju on the film's posters; Shin Gojira (known in English as Godzilla Resurgence), a remake of the iconic 1954 film, is very much a relatively grounded political drama, trading in the spectacular giant-monster battles we've grown to expect of modern kaiju films for a more deliberate exploration of real-world politics, where indecision, unilateral national agendas and complicated bureaucratic protocols kill more innocent civilians than the titular kaiju ever could on its own.

    Hijabs rocking to the funky, funky beats

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 17/09/2015

    » You could almost smell the collective excitement and youthful energy emanating from the nearly 20,000 gathered at Sunway Lagoon, the water park and resort (and shopping mall, university, etc.) -- the site of this year's MTV World Stage concert, which took place in Kuala Lumpur last Saturday.

    An allure of contrasts

    Muse, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 21/11/2015

    » As anyone who has spent any significant measure of time in Thailand can testify, the country has a mishmash of seemingly conflicting values and cultures that, somehow, come together to form a unique, complex and — more often than not — baffling way of life that is simultaneously confusing and ruthlessly charming.

    May I go back to high-school?

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 02/10/2015

    » Directed by Chayanop “Moo” Boonprakob, the director who brought us SuckSeed in 2011, the new Thai teen comedy May Nhai Fai Raeng Froer (or May Who?) tells the story of May, an outwardly unremarkable loner who has a secret: her body can create electric shocks whenever her heart rate rises.

    Attack On Titan lays on the gore, but is short on plot

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 28/08/2015

    » Based on the massively popular manga series of the same name, Attack On Titan is a film that constantly skips the line between lip-biting tension and comically over-the-top Japanese anime tropes that don't translate well to film at all. The result is something that is entertaining in small bursts, but is ultimately forgettable and even cringe-inducing in parts.
