When two genres collide
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 21/03/2025
» I am always intrigued when filmmakers attempt to blend two polar opposite genres -- such as horror and comedy -- just to see how it turns out. These films can either be a surprising hit or an awkward miss. In the case of The Parenting, the latest comedy-horror offering from MAX, I'd say it unfortunately leans closer to the miss side. While it has a decent premise and some entertaining moments, the overall execution falls flat, making it feel more like a missed opportunity than a memorable film.

Apple sets sights on VR market
Life, James Hein, Published on 21/06/2023
» The biggest announcement of the past week or two was the Apple Vision Pro VR system. There has been so much on this recently. The quick summary is -- two 4K eyepieces, no controllers required and it can replace your TV and computer monitors. I was more interested in the battery life being two hours, or if you were using them, not enough for the full Apple presentation. The price is also an amazing US$3,500 in America so out of the range of most people. One argument is that by the time you don't need to pay for a TV upgrade or new monitors it is worth the investment. My counter is if you have a four-person household that price becomes $14,000, a lot more than the cost of a new TV. Oh, and you can mostly only use it with Apple kit which really limits options.
A romance blossoms in Verona

» Netflix's latest original Love In The Villa seems to have all the ingredients for a good romantic comedy from a Shakespeare-inspired love story, a beautiful countryside setting, protagonists with quirky personalities, and even a sassy gay best friend who's always there to give advice to the main character. But unfortunately, Love In The Villa also has flaws that make it nothing more than another run-of-the-mill rom-com out of Netflix's assembly line.
