    Outstaying their welcome

    News, Editorial, Published on 03/11/2017

    » If the general elections take place in November next year as promised by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, his military regime's stay in executive power would have exceeded the four-year tenure of any elected government. By then, the period of four-and-a-half years under the military ruling would already be much longer than needed.

    No, separatism isn't the continent's next major crisis

    News, Leonid Bershidsky, Published on 03/11/2017

    » Those who are always on the lookout for the next European crisis -- Brexiters not least among them -- have latched on to Catalonia's symbolic "secession" as another sign that Europe isn't working well. The Catalan events, however, merely confirm that today, Western European countries are secession-proof -- too fat to fail. Belgium, the country where ousted Catalan First Minister Carles Puigdemont is hiding out from prosecution (or, to Catalan secessionists, leading a government in exile) is another example.

    » Edmund Yeo started writing the film Aqerat before the word "Rohingya" would make world news headlines -- entirely for a distressing reason.

    Stranger Things remains binge-worthy

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 03/11/2017

    » Being the geeky, nerdy man-child that I am, I absolutely loved the first season of Netflix's Stranger Things, the original sci-fi horror series released last year. With all its reverence for geek culture, the 1980s aesthetic and excellent cast, Stranger Things was a love letter to everything I loved, and I loved it for that. It was also a masterclass in suspense, a show that knew how to make you desperate to find out what's next at the end of every episode.

    To thunderous applause

    Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 03/11/2017

    » Earlier this year, I had the chance to review another Marvel Studios Film, Spiderman: Homecoming. In that review, I described the film as more of a teenage flick with a sprinkling of superhero glamour, a trait that added a much-needed breath of fresh air to the usual Marvel film formula, one that threatens to outstay its welcome as the studio churns out multiple films each year.

    Life, Bernard Trink, Published on 03/11/2017

    » In the US, and many other lands, justice is in the hands of the police and the courts. The citizenry must abide by their decision. But this overlooks the fact that vengeance is a human instinct.
