5 Prang / Phobia 2 (15+)
90 mins (Thai/ English subtitles)
Thai, Horror – Literally "five crossroads," this is a five-part horror anthology by some of Thailand’s best-known directors of horror films, including segments by the two directors of the classic Shutter, and Songyos Sugmakanan, who created the poignant coming-of-age and sort of horror film Dorm. I rather enjoyed the first Phobia, and am looking forward to this one.

Gamer (18+)
95 mins (English/ Thai subtitles)
US, Action/ Sci-Fi/ Thriller – I found this an absolutely repellent and repugnant film, and I would have no problem with its being banned and all copies burned. I think it’s just too brutalizing to exist. By the writers and directors of the two recent Crank movies, as they continue their quest for ever bigger explosions, action which is even more “non-stop,” and plots and stories which explore the outer limits of the vile and sick. Rated R in the US for frenetic sequences of strong brutal violence throughout, sexual content, nudity, and language; “18+” in Thailand. Generally unfavorable reviews: 20/31 out of 100.
11:45| 13:50| 16:00| 18:05| 20:10| 22:20|
My Ex / Fan Kao / แฟนเก่า (15+)
90 mins (Thai/ English subtitles)
Thai Horror/ Romance – Unaccountably bloody, dreadful, and confusing, even for a Thai flick. Ken is a heartthrob of an actor with a bad-boy reputation of loving beautiful girls and then dumping them. After his marriage, one of his ex-girlfriends comes back from the grave to exact revenge. Some interesting cinematography.
11:30| 13:35| 15:40| 17:50| 19:55| 22:00|
The Final Destination (in Digital 3D) (18+)
82 mins (English/ Thai subtitles)
US, Horror/ Thriller – Another film I found truly repulsive and offensive. After a teen's premonition of a deadly race-car crash helps saves the lives of his peers, Death sets out to collect those who evaded his plans. It’s in the new Major Cineplex digital 3D cinema system here, in Cinema 3.The price of regular seats has been raised from 120 baht to 200 baht for the added dimension! But you get your money’s worth with this one: It contains 11 truly ugly and grotesque death scenes, the most of any film in the series! Rated R in the US for strong violent/gruesome accidents, language, and a scene of sexuality. In Thailand it’s rated “18+.” Generally unfavorable reviews: 30/30 out of 100.
11:25| 13:25| 15:25| 17:25| 19:25| 21:30|

5 Prang / 5 แพร่ง / Phobia 2 (15+)

Inglourious Basterds (18+)
153 mins (English/ Thai subtitles)
US/ Germany/ France, Drama/ Action/ Adventure/ War – QuentinTarantino's long-awaited, exceptionally bloody tale of Jewish-American troops on the hunt for Nazi scalps in World War II France, starring Brad Pitt and an amazing Christoph Waltz in a truly fine performance. A must-see movie, though I’m uncomfortable with the fact that I’m recommending a film that carries violence to such extremes. But it’s just that I find the filmmaking skill so mind-blowing. Rated R in the US for strong graphic violence, language, and brief sexuality. In Thailand it’s rated “18+.” Generally favorable reviews: 69/70 out of 100.
12:00| 15:00| 18:00| 21:00|

The Elephant King / เสน่ห์ แค้น ราคะ ฤดูแห่งรัก (18+)
92 mins (English/ Thai subtitles)
US/ Thai, Drama/ Romance – Filmed for the most part in Chiang Mai. Two American brothers – one domineering, the other introspective – as they binge on drink, drugs, and women in Chiang Mai. The mother (Ellen Burstyn) dispatches the younger son Oliver off to Chiang Mai to do everything he can to lure his reckless, older brother Jake back home to the US to face pending fraud charges. Oliver finds the intoxication of Chiang Mai hard to resist, and as he falls deeply in love for the first time, his brother Jake slips deeper into despair, and the seams of their relationship begin to come undone. Rated R in the US for sexual content, drug use, language and some violence. “18+” in Thailand. Mixed or average reviews: 46/41 out of 100.
