  » The little pleasures are always the best ones. Running your hand over a smooth stone or metal surface, seeing a lid sit perfectly flush with the lip of a pot, these seemingly simple manifestations of perfection, of symmetry, are what help us make sense of the confusion that is life.

  » Today, Thai audiences will finally be formally introduced to the latest member to join Disney's immortal pantheon of princesses -- Moana, the titular character of Walt Disney Pictures' latest feature film. Unlike her fellow damsels, however, Moana's brand of "happily ever after" doesn't involve a prince charming or a posse of magical, singing animals who make her look pretty for a ball.

  » Trent Kusters was playing Red Dead Redemption when he came upon a moment that he will never forget.

  Method in the madness

  Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 10/11/2017

  » Whether it be Hannibal Lector, Norman Bates or even the Joker, psychopaths have long been some of the most fascinating characters in all of pop culture. As terrifying as they supposedly are, there is also a mystique to their madness, one that exists on the cusp of comprehensibility, divided only by that thin, elusive border we call sanity or morality or compassion.

  Stone on Snowden

  Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 07/10/2016

  » Director Oliver Stone likes to tell stories of larger-than-life characters. Or not just characters, but real people caught up in the swirl of American history, which is sometimes to say world history: John F. Kennedy in JFK (1991); Jim Morrison in The Doors (1991); Richard Nixon in Nixon (1995); Fidel Castro in Commandante (2003); Alexander the Great in Alexander (2005); and George W Bush in W (2008). The fuzzy line between glory and shame of American policy is also his favourite subject, such as in the Vietnam War-set Platoon (1986), Wall Street (1987), Born On The Fourth Of July (1989) and World Trade Center (2006).

  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.
