Riding high in the simulated Wild West
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 05/12/2016
» Looking all parts American perfection and stomaching spicy dishes surprisingly well (according to his bodyguard) for a first-timer in Singapore, James Marsden was in the Lion City last week to promote the season finale of HBO's Westworld. As the human equivalent of goodness and sunshine, it becomes apparent that the Hollywood dreamboat is fittingly well-known for his nice-guy roles (in X-Men, The Notebook, Enchanted, Hairspray) because he is also such a person in real life. In fact, it all feels satisfyingly in-character when the 43-year-old admits that he loves Frank Capra movies and that the violence in Westworld isn't gratuitous.

Black Panther is stylistic substance
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 19/02/2018
» Having been in a movie black hole of sorts for the past few months, I was completely oblivious to what the movie Black Panther is, when my best friend suggested we go see it. The only thing I knew was that it would be a Marvel movie featuring a cast made up of a majority of African-Americans and Africans. This, of course, is rarer than a blue moon, and was enough to pique my interest. Fine by me. In fact, I would be most intrigued to watch a superhero film where the black guy isn't the sidekick or someone likely to get shot within the first 12 seconds.

New looks, old values
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 22/04/2017
» 'Whatchu lookin' at?" Rattanarat "Ploy" Aurthaveekul might have yelled back to her husband's stare before they leave the house. Her taunting look is, however, followed by a sheepish chuckle, before she adds: "Gosh, this outfit is actually really uncomfortable and kind of revealing too. I guess I should go change." Gone are her fashionably freewheeling days -- her closet now tipping more mother than model. But that's about the most that has changed for this style icon, best known as one half of the modelling/actress twins Petch-Ploy.

Breaking the law never looked so cool
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 14/06/2018
» Reboots of larger-than-life franchises that plunk in an all-female cast are always a good idea. Why? Not because of all that feminism babble, thank you very much, but because women definitely have more fun. It was the case with Ghostbusters last year and Hollywood has done it again this time by putting female stars into the world of heists pulled by the Oceans. In this latest edition, following the three previous films directed by Steven Soderbergh, we meet Sandra Bullock as the recently paroled Debbie Ocean -- younger sister of the (maybe) deceased Danny Ocean.

A queen's life
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 20/11/2017
» As I am watching The Crown, only one burning, pressing query hammers against my conscience. In fact, it is the very same question that blazed through my mind as I watched the Minions animated film two years ago: What would Queen Elizabeth II have thought of herself in this portrayal?

Let there be light
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 23/12/2017
» If there is one thing Hungary is becoming known for, it is how this neoclassical, landlocked country is unexpectedly becoming the capital of projection mapping artists. Four prominent groups which hail from Budapest are considered among the top 10 projection artists in the world, and Limelight, which has created the "Beautiful Bangkok" 3D mapping currently showing on the Magnolias Ratchadamri Boulevard, is also one of those pioneers.

Descendants of dance
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 10/09/2015
» Kenny Ortega has another hit on his hands. If there's a movie featuring dancing, then we tend to think of this acclaimed American director, producer and choreographer. Ortega is behind various cult musical phenomena that different generations of teens have grown up with, from the 1987 film Dirty Dancing, Michael Jackson's This Is It concerts, to the globally-embraced High School Musical trilogy.
