Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 16/03/2018

Black Panther's not just another Marvel money-grab
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 16/02/2018
» Since Doctor Strange, released in 2016, Marvel has been on an impressive roll. The studio's next three films -- Guardians Of The Galaxy 2, Spiderman: Homecoming and Thor: Ragnarok -- were all critically acclaimed successes, praised for their creativity and refreshing tweaks to the usual superhero formula. The films were a much-needed second wind to the ever-bloated Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), proving to audiences that even after more than 15 films, there is still room for us to be wowed by the studio's colourful and bombastic superhero shenanigans.

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.

Assuming a role on the international stage
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 02/08/2017
» When World War I erupted in July 1914, Siam under the reign of King Rama VI declared itself neutral. Having maintained strong diplomatic ties with various countries from both sides of the conflict, there was little reason for the small country in Asia to enter the war on either side, far removed from the conflict in Europe, and with nothing to gain from taking part.

A war worth watching
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 14/07/2017
» Despite being critical and commercial successes upon their release, the Planet Of The Apes reboot franchise -- beginning with 2011's Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes and followed by 2014's Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes -- never really registered on my radar. I did watch the 2011 film when it was first released, though I didn't find it particularly memorable. I completely forgot about the second, and only realised 15 minutes into War For The Planet Of The Apes that it was in fact the third and closing feature in the series.

Eyes on the road
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 22/02/2017
» Dashboard cameras have been around for many years. However, the device has increasingly made its way into the collective consciousness of Thai society after a spate of road-rage incidents -- some with fatal consequences -- that dramatically and legally hinged on the crucial evidence of recorded images from the car cameras. The government this week also hints that it may mandate every new vehicle to install a camera on the dashboard, probably in effect before Songkran season in April.

Great sequel - more action, more story
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 17/02/2017
» The original John Wick -- released in 2014 -- was perhaps the most enjoyable, well-crafted action film I have seen in years. Despite having a paper-thin premise -- retired (but legendary) assassin John Wick goes on a rampage against an entire army of Russian gangsters for killing his dog and stealing his car -- the film succeeded thanks to its masterfully choreographed action sequences and beautifully shot scenes. If nothing else, the original John Wick proved that you really don't need much in terms of story to make a great action film.
