The Housemaid cleans up as a suspenseful classic
The Housemaid cleans up as a suspenseful classic
Saturday 24 January 2026 02:00 PM
It feels like it has been a good number of years since we have a decent thriller in our cinemas. Most films in the genre feel like they are too predictable or rely on a last minute supernatural explanation that is really only there to cover up some poorly thought out screenplay.
Turning 77 in cycling heaven
Turning 77 in cycling heaven
Saturday 24 January 2026 01:00 PM
I turned seventy-seven at dawn on Jan 10, which felt appropriate: a small, private moment before the island woke and began making its usual persuasive arguments for breakfast. The sea lay flat as a pane of glass, tinted the colour of old pewter, and the geckos were still negotiating the final clauses of their overnight treaties. I wheeled my bicycle out from under the bougainvillea, patted the saddle as if it were a reliable old dog, and pointed us south, toward Promthep Cape.

Breaking into the electronic music industry is notoriously difficult. For new and independent artists, the landscape is saturated, competitive, and often unforgiving — with few clear pathways to visibility or belonging.

Anaconda reboot raises laughs but lacks bite
Anaconda reboot raises laughs but lacks bite
Saturday 10 January 2026 02:00 PM
If you ask a few people to name some of their guilty pleasure films I can guarantee that if they were watching movies back in the 1990s then they will mention the original Anaconda movie from 1997. Yes it was trashy, yes it was pulpy but this action horror that starred the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Eric Stoltz, Ice Cube and (unbelievably) Jon Voight got its job done and entertained its audience.

Getting into good habits
Getting into good habits
Sunday 28 December 2025 11:00 AM
A New Year, a new you, right? January has a way of bringing out the idealist in all of us. We make resolutions and declare that this is the year we will finally “get it together.” There is a certain thrill in imagining a future self with impeccable habits and steady discipline. But as the weeks unfold, enthusiasm wanes, routines disintegrate and those shiny intentions start to feel less like a plan and more like a passing mood. The issue is not a lack of resolve – it is misunderstanding how habits are built in the first place.
