21

123 mins (English/Thai subtitles)

US Drama – Kevin Spacey is a crafty professor who trains brainy students to count cards and then flies them to Las Vegas to raid the blackjack tables. I found it intermittingly interesting, and I do like Kevin Spacey and Laurence Fishburne. Mixed or average reviews: 48/51 out of 100.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army

119 mins (English/Thai subtitles)

US Action/Fantasy – Again directed by Guillermo del Toro and again starring Ron Perlman as Hellboy, this presents again a dark and difficult fantasy world full of fantastical creatures. It’s a brilliant nightmare, and almost too rich – one is truly overwhelmed with astonishing visuals and strange stories. Generally favorable reviews: 78/73 out of 100.

Journey to the Center of the Earth

92 mins (English/Thai subtitles)

US Action/Adventure/Fantasy – A 2D version of a 3D film. A visionary scientist, his 13-year-old nephew, and their beautiful local guide, are trapped in a cave, their only escape to go deeper into the depths of the Earth. Traveling through never-before-seen worlds, they come face-to-face with surreal creatures – including man-eating plants, giant flying piranha, glow birds, and terrifying dinosaurs. Mixed or average reviews, 57/60 out of 100, for the 3D version, which we won’t be seeing here.

The Dark Knight

152 mins (English/Thai subtitles)

US Action/ Crime/ Drama/ Thriller – Dark, complex, and unforgettable, it succeeds not just as an entertaining comic book film, but as a richly thrilling crime saga. Reviews: Universal acclaim: 82/80 out of 100.

He and his 10,000 warriors have lain forgotten for eons, entombed in clay as a vast, silent terra cotta army, until a reckless young archaeologist is tricked into awakening them. Brendan Fraser, Jet Li, Maria Bello. Generally negative reviews: 31/39 out of 100.

The Strangers

85 mins (English/Thai subtitles)

US Thriller/Horror -- Repellent and repulsive. If I were in charge of things, it would be banned. Shows kids how much fun it is to terrorize people, and then details how to do it. Three malevolent, masked strangers terrorize a couple in their isolated vaction home. Rated R in the US for violence/terror and language. Mixed or average reviews: 47/48 out of 100.
