    A quirky mystery comedy

    Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 28/07/2023

    » I went into Netflix's latest movie They Cloned Tyrone without any expectations, but this turned out to be one of the best original films the platform has come out with this year. The film is a unique blend -- quirky, mysterious and funny. It's a blaxploitation throwback set in modern times with a sci-fi twist and is definitely thought-provoking.

    Dan Brown with a Thai voice

    Life, Melalin Mahavongtrakul, Published on 05/03/2018

    » The Thai award-winning detective novel Kaholmahoratuek is that rare breed: a page-turner set in the 1940s that mixes poetry, history, murder and revenge. The book's appeal also lies with the writer's use of genre elements -- serial murders, cryptic clues and detective work -- in the vintage setting of old Bangkok where century-old temples, back alleys and local communities become grisly crime scenes.

    » A shabby man wanders, scavenging for whatever he can find from a pile of rubbish. Still, he shares leftover food with a stray cat, caressing the creature with a warm smile, the only positive expression on his nondescript face, in a capital city that betrays no sign of any human existence.

    A fresh look at the Moon

    Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 29/12/2021

    » While the idea of Korea and space exploration in reality may still be too far-fetched, South Korean filmmakers seem to be interested in exploring the search of mysterious planets above the sky. After we got the high-octane space adventure Space Sweepers on Netfllix earlier this year, the service recently gave us another outer-space show. The Silent Sea is a mystery thriller series that tackles the darker aspect of space missions and goes even further and deeper into conspiracy and mystery with its revelations and how this all connects to human civilisation's impending doom.

    This Gyllenhaal watch can be enjoyed to the end

    Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 31/12/2021

    » Over the past few decades, we have seen Jake Gyllenhaal's massive transformation from being a Hollywood teenage heartthrob into one of the most diverse acting resumes around. Some of his best roles recently, usually revolve around high drama stories or within crime and thriller genres, like David Ayer's cop drama End Of Watch, Denis Villeneuve's Prisoners (2013) or Dan Gilroy's thriller Nightcrawler (2014). In between those years, Gyllenhaal's fun and expressive eyes became less reactive and more serious and grim. The Guilty, a new Netflix drama, feels almost like a continuation of that same persona by Gyllenhaal but with a unique and gripping story about a police officer at a 911 call centre in a high-stakes game against time to stop a kidnapping. It's a remake of the 2018 Danish film of the same name, directed by Antoine Fuqua of Training Day (2001), Brooklyn's Finest (2009) and Southpaw (2015) fame.

    Seductively mysterious

    Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 29/04/2022

    » Marvel fans who aren't familiar with the comic books probably think they know every single hero in the MCU universe. Over the years, Sony has had the opportunity to buy rights to many Marvel characters, but only picked the likes of Iron Man, Thor, and Spider-Man because they thought nobody would be interested in the more obscure heroes.

    Life, Yvonne Bohwongprasert, Published on 29/06/2021

    » The Royal Thai Police took a good solid year to build an airtight criminal case against Chaiphol "Lung Phol" Wipha, the prime suspect in the death of toddler Orawan "Nong Champoo" Wongsricha, who was found dead and violated on a mountain not far from her home in Mukdahan province last year.
