The art of travel
Life, Published on 15/03/2013
» Our first guess is that a documentary about young backpackers embarking on a cross-continental journey must be more or less about seeking the meaning of life. But after one of the characters throws us such a great dilemma as "to poop, or not to poop" _ a quandary facing most travellers in a tight spot to catch a train _ it's no longer that easy to surmise where this film will take us.

We have a Pope, or not yet
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 15/03/2013
» So the Vatican chimney has belched out the white smoke. And as Pope Francis prepares for his papacy, here's a movie for your papal weekend. Nanni Moretti's We Have A Pope may not be the sharpest satire of the Catholic Church, but it certainly has its bites and a soulful, sympathetic performance by Michel Piccoli, playing an underdog cardinal who's crowned Pope and suddenly finds himself in a spiritual meltdown.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 15/03/2013
» Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained is a happy whip, drawing as much blood as laughter. It runs on Road Runner humour, fired by cruel comedy, cartoon revenge, cracking you up and making you wince, and that balancing act has always been one of the secrets of Tarantino's brilliance. Still, this is a serious film about history and how cinema appropriates history. In a year that most Oscar-contending titles lay pompous claims to accurate retelling of the past, from Argo, Zero Dark Thirty and Lincoln, the blissful disregard of "history" somehow makes Django the most truthful film of the lot. Or at least it feels truthful in spirit, leaving the grandstanding of other filmmakers looking spurious, frivolous, or simply wrong.

» If you want to shout "kampai!" in style, there is probably no better place to raise your sake glass than Ogu Ogu. The name itself means inner harmony and there is definitely a harmony in all the things going on here, particularly how diners and boozers can coexist in this swanky sake bar.

Off the eaten track
Life, Ung-Aang Talay, Published on 15/03/2013
» You can usually be sure of a good meal if you're being taken to a restaurant you've never tried before by a friend who knows what you like. A recommendation from a co-worker with reliable foodie instincts will also generally lead to good things. But there's a lot to be said for playing it less safe, heading into unknown territory for a meal at a restaurant you've chosen just because you like the look of it.

Guru, Sumati Sivasiamphai, Published on 15/03/2013
