17 Again
102 mins (English/ Thai subtitles)
US, Comedy/Drama/ Romance – A mild comedy about redoing life over again from high school, and generally making the same mistakes again. It uses a well-worn formula, but has just enough Zac Efron charm to result in a harmless, pleasurable teen comedy. Mixed or average reviews: 48/51 out of 100.

Buppha Rahtree 3.2: Rahtree's Revenge / บุปผาราตรี 3.2 (18+)
90 mins (Thai/ English subtitles)
Thai, Horror/ Romance – The sequel to Buppah Rahtree 3.1: Rahtree Reborn that continues the romantic-horror story of the revengeful ghost of Buppha and her love struck cartoonist (Mario Maurer of Love of Siam fame).

Rated “18+” under the new ratings system which went into effect August 11. “18+” is an advisory rating that suggests viewers should be 18 or older to see the movie.

Gamer (18+)
95 mins (English/ Thai subtitles)
US, Action/ Sci-Fi/ Thriller – Set in a near future when gaming and entertainment have evolved into a terrifying new hybrid. Humans control other humans in mass-scale, multi-player online games: people play people...for keeps.

His latest brainchild, the first-person shooter game "Slayers," allows millions to act out their most savage fantasies online in front of a global audience, using real prisoners as avatars with whom they fight to the death. Rated R in the US for frenetic sequences of strong brutal violence throughout, sexual content, nudity and language. InThailand it’s rated “18+” under the new ratings system. “18+” is an advisory rating that suggests viewers should be 18 or older to see the movie.
