B-movie goes big
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 12/07/2013
» Brace yourself, otaku boys across the globe, Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim is the most expensive B-movie ever! And that's a big, big compliment in the season of sterile blockbusters, for this is an immensely imaginative, wildly exhilarating ride through kaiju geekery, Godzilla roars, apocalyptic frenzy and robot fetishism. In short, an East Asian monster flick begotten from the unlikely womb of a Mexican director by way of Hollywood surrogates. Move over Marvel heroes and Superbore, Pacific Rim is the most shamelessly entertaining summer movie we've seen so far this year.

Space Oddity
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 12/04/2013
» The vast, wasted and elegantly desperate post-alien-invasion world is the setting of Joseph Kosinski's Oblivion. In the science-fiction film that opened in Thailand yesterday, Kosinski puts Tom Cruise in the role of Jack Harper, a patrolman and drone-fixer left to station Earth after everyone else has headed for the safe haven of Titan, Saturn's largest moon. Kosinski's debut feature in 2010 was Tron: Legacy, a film that picked up the hallucinatory imagination of sci-fi devotees nearly 30 years after the original.

Rohingya cast out of fire, into the frying pan
News, Kong Rithdee, Published on 19/01/2013
» When Hussein cooks, the whole community rubs its stomach and rejoices. The Rohingya's kitchen repertoire of Burmese, Bangladeshi, Pakistani and northern Indian hybrids - it's hard to classify the origin of his menu of dry-fried ribs, complexly spiced curries, mutton biryani and other marvels - is a feast at Islamic functions and wedding ceremonies in a Bang Rak soi.

Toying with terror
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 16/01/2012
» Loners in Roberto Bolano's stories drift from anxiety and obsession into something darker. Like poetry, bibliophilia, murder, madness. The downward spiral is gradual and unstoppable, its path littered with symbols, graveyards and black humour. Very black. And very humorous. You emerge from one of his books _ and so many of them have been released in English in the seven years since his death, aged 50, in 2003 _ soaked in a cold sweat, like one of those amateur detectives in his novels who stray too close to the abyss and limbo.
