With cinemas currently closed in Phuket luckily film fans can turn to streaming services for some entertainment. Once again worldwide we have seen Netflix get the jump on cinema chains due to the pandemic and they are proudly showing the brand-new Melissa McCarthy (Brides Maids) film ‘Thunder Force’.

There are pluses and negatives to a film studio deciding to make a film based on a popular video game. The plus is that you have a legion of fans that will be ready to watch the film, the negative is that the legion of fans are gamers... some of the harshest critics in the world.

Gone are the days when a film can get away with senseless violence without there being some kind of ‘art’ to it. That’s not because of cancel culture, morals or the like, but instead simply because of what audiences expect from films these days. Yes, gone are the days when an audience would happily sit and watch an action hero blowing away bad guys for 90 minutes – story was optional.

For a generation of movie and television fans a spy is someone who jets around the world, flirting with the opposite sex and getting into the occasional fight or car chase. Whether your favourite spy be Sidney Bristow, XXX or the leader of the pack James Bond they all live pretty much the same life. The weird thing that in comparison to real life things are a way off the scale. In real life your traditional spy will be doing more simple tasks in order to get information back to their handlers, and fights and car chases are the last things they want as they just draw attention to themselves.

Well blockbusters are certainly back in the cinemas. For the past week it has felt that there are no other films in the cinema as the two titans Godzilla and Kong have dominated cinema box office takings as they face off in Godzilla vs Kong.

There is perhaps no bigger way to announce that blockbusters are back in post-COVID cinemas than to let two titans like Godzilla and King Kong go head-to-head. The Godzilla/Kong franchise has bubbled along nicely for Warner Bros over the past seven years and now it roars back to life as the two titans come to some pretty impressive blows in Godzilla vs. Kong.

Well, the Academy Awards recognition of Asian cinema looks like it might finally be set in stone. Many predicted that Korean film Parasite’s big win at last year’s Oscars was the recognition that finally the Academy was willing to accept films from Asia in the high regard that they already did films from America and Europe.

Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley! When it comes to pop culture film stars you couldn’t get two bigger. She is the face and main star of the latest batch of Star Wars adventures and he… well, he is Spider-Man. The fact that the pair of them have joined forces in a film that very few people know about despite the fact it is in cinemas now is deeply astounding.

It is hard to believe that it has been 12 months since Disney released a brand-new film straight to cinemas… yes, even ‘House of Mouse‘ was not immune from the great COVID cinema lockdown worldwide. The big news is that Disney returns to cinemas this week with a film that is arguably one of their greatest pieces of animated brilliance: Raya and the Last Dragon.

It is no stretch of the truth to say that nobody in the film industry really saw streaming as a ‘serious film-going experience’ until Netflix delivered The Irishman. Suddenly streaming wasn’t just a way to watch B-Grade horror and fantasy films that most cinemas wouldn’t screen, it now had esteemed award-winning directors making what many would describe as Oscar-bait films.

One of the surprise winners during this period of zero blockbuster output from Hollywood has been smaller films from around the world suddenly doing very well at the box office. This has been a huge win for Asian, Australian and European cinema as a whole and now New Zealand has decided that it wants its piece of the pie with the release of ‘Shadow In the Cloud’ in Phuket.

With Thai cinemas currently screening a lot of re-releases chances are the more serious film lover may have already seen most of the films gracing the big screen. Thankfully though streaming services are continuing their steady release of new material – and this time it is the brilliant new Tom Hanks film ’News Of The World’ that has just surfaced.

Comedy is such a personal thing. If you ask someone about their favourite comedic actors something soon becomes very clear – people either love or hate the likes of Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler. There is no middle ground for the two – nobody ever says “I kind of like Adam Sandler.” it is either “I hate that man” or “That man is a comedic genius.”

Yes, it is almost February but the Christmas movies just keep coming this year. Now it is time for Happiest Season to be released in Phuket and one thing about this film I should tell you straight away is that this film is not going to be ‘just another Christmas movie’ – and that is the fact that it stars Kristen Stewart.

George Clooney… Is there anything that this man cannot do? Aside from being one of the world’s most handsome men (yes, apparently there actually is an award for that) and an Oscar-winning actor, Clooney is also a seasoned film director. Unlike many of the films that Clooney has acted in over the years as a director, he seems to steer clear of big blockbusters and instead focus on films that appeal more to the serious cinephile.

While a film is often judged by the way that it is received during the Awards season there are times when the best feeling in the world is to sit down and watch a film that is never going to be even mentioned during the illustrious awards period. Yes, it is great to sit down and watch a film that challenges you or makes you think, but at other times all you really want to do is sit down, turn your brain off and watch something dumb yet enjoyable. That is where films like Monster Hunter come into the picture.

Yes the tinsel and trees might already be up but to a lot of people it never really feels like Christmas until the Christmas movies start playing on television and in the cinemas. Perhaps it is the old classics like the spectacular It’s A Wonderful Life or the newer gems like Dudley Moore’s Santa Clause: The Movie that puts you in the Christmas spirit, whatever the case there is always something about a Christmas movie that make you overlook the cheesiness and overzealous holiday cheer and let’s you just sit back and relax.
A year for the ‘Wonder Woman’
A year for the ‘Wonder Woman’
Saturday 19 December 2020, 10:43AM
Well at last 2020 has its own superhero – and her name is Wonder Woman. Over the last decade comic book fans have become used to having at least three or four superhero movies hitting cinemas each year. This year though with the blockbusters on hold those fans have had slim pickings. The underrated New Mutants came and went in the blink of an eye so the fans have just had to sit back and wait patiently for DC to launch their follow-up to 2017’s brilliant Wonder Woman. Now the wait is over and the result may surprise a few people.

The Croods! Easily the best family to come out of prehistoric times since The Flintstones and they are back in the new animated family film The Croods: A New Age. It is hard to believe that it has been seven years since the first film in the franchise was released – but then as a film itself The Croods did some pretty unbelievable things in its time.
