Thai Movies!

For some reason I have been watching a lot of Thai movies recently. Some I have been bumbling through without subtitles and others I have had the luxury of subtitles.

Cream of the crop would have to be Buppha Ratree a funny horror film about the ghost of a student who dies from a backyard abortion, and the zany attemtps to excorcise her from the bloakc of flats she is terrorising. Saw this without subtitles, and was still impressive.
Also liked Beautiful Boxer an acclaimed film a bout a famous Muay Thai boxer who is also a Ladyboy.
Another great film, although a bit sad is Mon Rak Transistor, about a carfree country boy who goes AWOL from military service, also deserting his pregnant wife, with dreams of making it big in the city as a pop singer.

Remains To Be Seen - "Live, one-off video cut-up animation collage jamming and performances for MIAF."

Caught this show last night and enjoyed it immensely - actually got roped in at the last minute to DJ accompaniment audio and that was excellent fun as well. But apart from that just wandering around sipping beer and checking out the dazzling eyecandy on display was well worth it.

here are some links that giva an indication of the cool stuff on display.
