The Gen Z couple changing Hong Kong’s Pilates scene with their studio about ‘community’

Pilates studios are a dime a dozen in Hong Kong – and that is partly what motivated Valeriia Kim and Caden Chan to launch their dream studio when they arrived in Hong Kong in 2025.

How Godzilla’s appearance has evolved over 70 years, from puppet to costume to CGI

By Christopher Borrelli Seventy years ago, Godzilla, King of the Monsters! debuted in Chicago theatres as half of a double bill with a Roger Corman prison flick, Swamp Women. Infamously, the monster movie underwent an extensive facelift between its Japanese premiere in 1954 and its landfall in the United States two years later: two independent production companies bought the American rights on an agreement that anything too Asian or unsettling be removed for American audiences. Out went all the...
