A classic high-speed heist
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 18/03/2022
» The first thing that comes to mind when talking about Michael Bay movies are the explosions, gunfire and scenes of cars flipping or helicopters falling from the sky in slow-motion. The man is like a filmmaker on steroids when it comes to big production. No matter how big or small the story is, Bay always finds a way to add explosions and make a big deal out of it. After his success in franchises like Bad Boys and Transformers, Bay has gone on to create the likes of Pain & Gain (2013) and 6 Underground (2019). His latest project, Ambulance, marks Bay's first directorial effort release since the pandemic began in 2020. Ambulance comes to local cinemas today, three weeks before North America where it is scheduled to release on April 8.

Silence interrupted
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 02/03/2022
» Much like his second feature film Blissfully Yours in 2002, serene stillness is the first impression we get from Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Memoria (in local cinemas tomorrow). Everything remains silent for a long period of time, but suddenly there's a loud booming sound resounding in the head of Jessica, played by Tilda Swinton, a British expat living in Colombia. The noise is loud enough to wake her up from the bed of her hotel room, as she begins experiencing a mysterious sensory syndrome. It forces Jessica out to the city and through the jungle in search of the source of the sound. From that moment on, the sound plays a crucial role to the story in Memoria. While this strange sound is the main inspiration for the film, it is also what Apichatpong has been struggling with over the past few years.

When doctors become ghosthunters
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 04/06/2021
» There are many ways to frighten audiences in horror movies -- tense storytelling, a gripping narrative, or an eerie atmosphere. However, jump scares are usually a cheap trick to make the audience think they're scared, especially when the filmmaker tends to accompany it with a very loud and frightening sound without any build-up.

Latest fright fest earns a first
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 26/05/2021
» Thai horror films have always been a source of pride for the country. With its rich culture-driven, full-of-mythology and homegrown folklore storylines, Thai films are internationally recognised especially when it comes to tales from beyond the grave. So for the new GDH supernatural horror Ghost Lab to be the first Thai feature film to have its world premiere on Netflix is quite an appropriate choice.

The Covid conundrum
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 26/04/2021
» From the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, Thailand has been a relative success story with low infection rates. However, a third wave is now hitting hard and ruining the hopes of people just as the country was gearing up for a rebound. Despite the increase in cases with over 1,000 plus infections being reported for several days and 120 deaths, there's no sign that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and his government will announce a nationwide lockdown. Some members of the opposition suspect that the government may be facing financial problems and that there is a possibility that public debt has surpassed 60%, which means there is not enough cash to pay subsidies like the last lockdown. So, it's almost as if we've been told by the government that this time around, it's every man for himself.
