Day 76 continued - Bangkok Assassins (Thai)

 Four kidnapped/stolen kids who were forced to beg for money on the streets until they are saved by a monk. The monk took them and trained them in martial arts. Each one of the four has a special technique and each one has a handicap. One is blind, one is deaf, one is mute, and the other is mentally disabled. Their master is killed and now its up to these four to get revenge.

Another bad Thai film that could have been much better with a different director and screenwriter. The story was predictable, some of the acting was horrible and the special effects were over the top. The story was very tame, it had the typical cliches you can see from a mile away. There is not a lot I can really say about this film but to skip it no matter what.

0/5

Day 75 continued - Fireball (Thai)

Tai discovers that his twin brother, Tan, was beat badly to the point he is in a coma after playing a good game of basketball. Though this is not basketball like you have see it before, the players are allowed to use martial arts and weapons as long as they leave everything they have on the court.

I enjoyed the concept but everything else could have been thrown away. The action sequences were poor as was the story development. It was predictable at every turn and wasn't all that good to watch. The script was very weak though I was surprised that the concept and the music were the best parts of the movie.
The main character falls in love with his twin brothers girlfriend. Its a stupid part of the story that doesn't really work, I'm guessing it was the directors attempt to add a bit more drama to the film. The final scene was weak as well, it was predictable and not that enjoyable. Sure there was a lot of blood but there was no substance. I was left disappointed and sought to find a better film. I suggest you skip this film and watch something a bit better.

1/5

Little Info

This film won the Guru Prize for Most Energetic Film at the Fant-Asia Film Festival, it was tied with Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl.

Day 37 continued - Art Idol (Thai)

"Art is a young boy looking for fame, but he is uncertain if he has the talents for that. Foon, a young girl is completely the opposite of Art. She knows what she wants and is reaching her goal, but she has feelings towards Art, but will Art know it? "

I wasn't a big fan of this movie when I first started to watch but it grew on me. I enjoyed Foon but wish we could have seen more of her world. I hated the character Art until the last half of the movie when he finally discovers his true passion. I like the idea behind the movie and the statement it makes.


2.5/5

Day 35 continued - The Coffin (Thailand)

"A young man, and several years later, a woman, undergo a Thai ritual of lying in a coffin, which is supposed to ensure long life and banish bad luck. The ritual is also seen as a solution to fatal genetic diseases and diseases like cancer. The man, Chris, wakes and is brought to the hospital where doctors say he suffers from hallucinations. It turns out that the hallucinations are paranormal visits by his ex-girlfriend and trying to kill him, who dies, along with her child, just when his wife is cured. The woman on the other hand is rid of her lung cancer, however is haunted by her boyfriend, Jack, whom she was supposed to marry. The woman consults an expert in the paranormal, and later Chris, to try to solve her supernatural difficulties."

 

A very confusing horror film that features good and bad English speaking actors. I like the concept of the film but the execution was bad. This is probably one of the worst horror movies I have seen. I suggest you skip this one.
