A New Thai Horror movie, 'Siam Square' is being screened currently, and the film follows a group of high-school students who get caught up in trying to prove on the existence of an Urban Legend. However, something backfires, and now the students are being picked off one by one by something terrifying...   Siam Square is known as the  ‘Shibuya’ of Bangkok, as it is a popular hangout area among the Thai youngsters/teenagers.

I attended the Gala Premiere of the Chinese drama flick,  'Soulmate' which premiered on the 10th of November 2016.       'Soulmate' is based on the web-novel, 'Qiyue and Ansheng'  which was written by An Ni Bao Bei. This movie stars popular Chinese artistes Zhou Dongyu and Sandra Ma as a pair of inseparable best friends who met when they were only 13 years old. They experienced the highs and lows of adolescence and adulthood together.   Qiyue (starring Sandra Ma) is a bookish person with traditional virtues who is aiming to have a stable future. Ansheng (played by Zhou Dongyu) on the end hand is the total opposite   of Qiyue. She is a free-wandering and very outgoing character. Despite their differences, the two remain as close as can be. They snuggle together in bed and are akin to peas in a pod. However everything changes, when a good-looking boy, Jiaming (starring Toby Li) ente...

A couple of days ago, I was invited by Clover Films to attend the preview screening of ' The Bodyguard' which is premiering on the 7th April 2016. The Bodyguard is a Hong Kong-Chinese action drama film which is directed by Sammo Hung . Andy Lau serves as one of the film's producers while also making a special appearance.

When the young girl’s life is in danger due to her father's (played by Andy Lau) connection with a local mobster, the former Bodyguard uses all his long-forgotten skills to save her.     I was pretty disappointed by this movie as being a martial arts fan, I have waited close to 2 decades for a movie directed by Sammo Hung, but I was left sorely disappointed. Despite the action-packed thriller settings, I found the show a slow-paced drama about a haunted civil servant bodyguard who is struggling...
