» If you're diving into Netflix's latest Western miniseries, American Primeval, you might find yourself reminded of the 2015 Leonardo DiCaprio film The Revenant. Well, guess what? You wouldn't be wrong. The two share striking similarities and it's not just because American Primeval was penned by the same screenwriter, Mark L. Smith. Both narratives explore survival, hardship, and the relentless pursuit of a goal -- all set against the backdrop of a brutal and unforgiving era. They're dark, gritty tales where protagonists endure unimaginable dangers, reflecting the raw violence of the Western frontier.

» A dozen strangers suddenly wake up to find themselves in a remote field. They have no idea where they are or how they got there, but the next thing they know they're being hunted down for sport. Judging by its premise or the trailer, the new action/horror film The Hunt could give you an impression of another The Hunger Games or Maze Runner, a survival story mixed with strong political messages. But the film surprisingly delivered a satire, dark humour combined with really well filmed action sequences, plus some of the most likeable performances you'll see in a movie this year.

» The literature about modern Thai politics is not abundant, and by this I mean a narrative that grounds its characters in the double-whammy of coup d'etat and street protest that characterised the mid-2000s to mid-2010s.
