    Hail, Hollywood!

    Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 04/03/2016

    » Funny but not that funny, smart and striving to be awfully smart, Hail, Caesar! belongs to the middleweight rank of the Coen brothers' catalogue. It's a movie about movie love, and about the woes of making movies, or at least studio movies, the constant pain of working in that carnivorous system in which its members nibble on one another, and in which the faceless bosses are taking the biggest bite. You can tell from the poster that this is a tribute to the old Hollywood of 1950s, but since this is a Coens' movie, it sprawls into satire, slapstick, musical numbers, and religious mockery, with a darker undercurrent of the post-war ideological theatre played out in the Californian backlot.

    » DEAR DOCTORS: My best friend has diabetes. She used to do finger sticks, but now she has a wearable glucose monitor. How do they work? It's got me wondering if it might be a good idea for me to use one, too. I'm 66 years old, and as I'm getting older, I worry more about developing Type 2 diabetes.

    Ahead of her time

    Life, Published on 23/07/2015

    » Among the Thai classical literature that has been adapted for TV, one of the most popular is W.N. Pramuanmak's Prissana. A dramatic story set in the reign of King Rama VIII and Rama IX, the story centres on a pretty, perky and smart young lady who was raised in the US and returns to Bangkok with a Western attitude. She becomes a strong-willed woman at a time when women are supposed to be quiet. Prissana's love story with an aristocratic man, set amid the hi-society milieu, has sent audiences swooning over the past 30 years.

    When only action makes sense

    Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 12/08/2022

    » Remember Michael Davis' action-packed Shoot 'Em Up from 2007? Even though it went on to become a favourite among action fans, the reviews when it first came out were divided. Some found the plot to be non-existent and had nothing appealing besides gunfights and explosions. Carter, a new South Korean action thriller about an amnesiac agent who is given an impossible mission, is another movie that follows the Shoot 'Em Up formula, where only action makes sense.

    Now You See Me 2 well worth a look

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 10/06/2016

    » The original Now You See Me, directed by Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk, Clash Of The Titans) and released in 2013, was a pleasant surprise. Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Mark Ruffolo and Morgan Freeman, the "Four Horsemen" of Las Vegas magicians from the original film became one of Lionsgate Entertainment's most successful features, delighting audiences with a smart, confidently-executed mixture of fantasy and heist movie.

    Rage against Wall Street

    Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 27/05/2016

    » Jodie Foster's Money Monster touches on two topical subjects. First, Wall Street's greed and how its casino logic can destroy lives; second, the obscene realism of live broadcast and how the producers and audience are both complicit in turning private lives into public spectacle. Big social issues, both of them, and with George Clooney and Julia Roberts in the lead and Foster directing, we expected a smart blast.

    Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 21/12/2021

    » As 2021 moves towards its fateful end, it has been another year of mostly staying home and watching movies rather than at theatres due to the never-ending pandemic. However, movie lovers in Thailand have been introduced to many different streaming services including Netflix, HBO GO and most recently Disney+ Hotstar, each featuring their own original and impressive roster of movies, series, animations and documentaries. All through this year, these services have kept us on our favourite couch at home while we enjoy their massive libraries.

    Fun on a bun

    B Magazine, Published on 27/09/2015

    » A small group of young office employees in smart suits gathered in front of the Thaniya Building shortly before lunchtime. Despite a range of air-conditioned restaurants at that end of Silom Road, these yuppies were happy to queue under a hot sun while waiting for their meal.
