    Red Sparrow never quite takes flight

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 02/03/2018

    » Some stories are just told in the wrong medium. We've all come across one at some point; a series that feels like it could've been told in two compact hours, or a film that lays down so much groundwork for interesting developments that it simply can't give every subplot the necessary room to grow. Red Sparrow, the new spy thriller from director Francis Lawrence, falls into the latter category. With its gripping and violent story of espionage and sex, bolstered by an all-star cast of award-winning actors, Red Sparrow's downfall is the fact that there simply isn't enough room in its considerable run-time -- well over two hours -- to do its own world justice.

    Finding space in the Spider-Man universe

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 07/07/2017

    » From quizzes and club activities to agonising over an uninterested crush, the high-school experience is fraught with peril for the average teenager. When said teenager has superpowers, and desperately wants to impress Ironman so he can join the Avengers, things can get even trickier, as Peter Parker (Tom Holland) finds out in Spider-Man: Homecoming, the webslinger's solo-debut feature under Marvel's cinematic universe. Trading in the usual cataclysmic conflicts of Marvel's earlier films for a more personal story of responsibility (a Spider-Man staple) and maturity, Homecoming manages to feel like a fresh take on the (arguably) tired Marvel formula, being the best Spider-Man film since 2004's Spider-Man 2.

    » Here's an idea for those looking for children's gifts for the holiday season. Office-supplies brand Brother recently released a special model of their P-touch D200 label makers with the Rilakkuma theme, based on the adorable Japanese character.

Coming in the form of a yellow, square-ish machine with a keyboard for typing labels, this special-edition product also features cute Rilakkuma emojis and text frames so your children can have fun while keeping their things nicely labelled and organised.
