Sunday 1 June 2025 02:00 PM
Most visitors to the United States flock to the coastal cities. If you seek the “other America,” consider an offbeat visit to the state of Kentucky. I have deep roots in Kentucky and a post-Songkran trip reminded me of the unassuming allure of this state known for bluegrass, horses and bourbon.
Are we alone? Exploring the Cosmic Silence
Are we alone? Exploring the Cosmic Silence
Saturday 31 May 2025 01:00 PM
Look West from Promthep Cape on a clear Phuket night (on the rare nights that might be possible!) and the Milky Way stretches overhead like a fistful of sea-salt flung across black velvet. The sight is beautiful, humbling - and, if you think about it, slightly cheeky. With two hundred billion stars up there, surely someone ought to have switched on the cosmic porch light or at least sent the Earth a “hiya” text by now. But decade after decade our best telescopes remain stubbornly free of interstellar selfies.

Many people have been critical of Disney’s decision to turn some of their classic animated films into live-action movies but to be honest I have never seen the issue with it.

Saturday 24 May 2025 02:00 PM
When you think of the Mission: Impossible franchise you think of Tom Cruise and epic stunts. So when you hear that Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is perhaps the last film of the series you would except that the cast and crew would amp up the adrenaline to a eleven and go out with a big bang.

Korea Beyond Seoul: Places That Redefine What “Popular” Should Mean
Friday 23 May 2025 08:58 AM
Is popularity in travel just a numbers game, or should it be about the soul of a place?

But amidst the emotional entanglements and twisted plots, there was one sleek star that quietly stole the spotlight: SPACECAT, the ultra-luxurious catamaran that left viewers wondering, where is that boat and how do I get on it?

The dangers of making a movie based on a video game is that a filmmaker can either make the movie so unlike the game it is hated by gamers or relying on so much game-lore that it becomes a confusing mess for anyone who has never played the game.

Thunderbolts* gives the Marvel Universe a shot in the arm
Saturday 10 May 2025 02:00 PM
Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is coming to a close – and some may argue that is a good thing.
