The modern day Hollywood Godzilla franchise has certainly been an up-and-down affair. The first film in the series hit screens in 2014 and was largely criticised due to the fact that it lacked something that you would have thought would be pretty important to the film being liked by fans – screen time for Godzilla himself.

Some might call this review be­lated, but it’s taken half a year since these games released back in November 2018 for me to feel finished with my copy of Let’s Go Eevee and put it down long enough to write about it.

As Thailand goes to the polls, it’s difficult to say exactly what honorific or position Prayut Chan-o-cha will have by the time the week is out. Whatever the outcome, though, what we can say is that he’s a pop star… kind of.

Here, Tyler Roney, a Bangkok-based writer and editor and currently the editor-in-chief of the travel magazine Travelogues from luxury tour designer Remote Lands, gives his appraisal of that article and the arguments proposed therein.

What do you call a male witch? A wizard? Warlock? The word ‘witch’ derives from the Old English nouns wicca (male) and wicce (female). A witch can be both male or female in form.

I was a bit of a strange child. I used to, and still do, enjoy tidying; actively taking pleasure in it. During school holidays, I would, without prompt, take an entire day out to declutter, rearrange and clean my room then wait impatiently for my dad to return from work so I could show off the transformation. (Envious parents please note I was a little terror in other ways…)

The word ‘talent’ has become an oxymoron, literally replaced by ‘moron’. In a world where celebrities are ten-a-penny and earn their stardom stripes by such trivia as bearing their empty lives on soul-less and never-ending live TV shows and Twitter streams or eating grubs in a jungle, it’s no wonder we yearn for yesteryear’s true talent.

Everyone loves to get a little spooked at Halloween. Whilst the cinemas tend to show adult ‘shock’ flicks to bring in the big kids looking for something a little meatier, it does leave the smaller ones with little more to do on this festive occasion than wreak havoc on the neighbours in penance for not handing over their candy stash.
