What If
What if “I just had sex, and I’m about to have nachos!” was one of the first lines in a trailer? Would that make you more or less interested in the film?
In this romantic comedy, Harry Potter plays Wallace, a young man jaded from a string of failed relationships. He then develops an interest in Chantry, a bubbly and quirky blond who – surprise! – is in a long-term relationship and quickly friend-zones the boy magician.
Navigate the frustrations and awkward moments faced by Wallace as he suppresses his feelings (for the most part) for his new “best friend.”
Ju-On 3
The seventh film in the series, “Ju-On 3: The Beginning of the End” starts with a young new teacher, Yui Ikuno, at an elementary school whose curiosity gets the better of her. She decides to visit the house of a student, Toshio Saeki, when his long-term absence starts to worry her. She encounters strange voices as well as a box in an empty bedroom, and her life is never the same again. At least not until “Ju-On 4: The Latter Half of the Beginning of the End.”
Tookae-Ruk-Pang-Mak (Chiang Khan Story)
This Thai-language romantic comedy takes us back in time 30 years to an era when the Internet was nonexistent, and when movies were the main non-television entertainment.
The film follows a boy, Tukkae, and his crush, Pang, from childhood to adulthood, when the two eventually meet again on the set of a film shoot.
Chiang Khan Story is produced by Transformation Films – a joint venture between four Thai film companies including M Pictures, Bangkok Film Studio, True I-Content and Matching Studio.
Lucy
Scarlett Johansson stars as an evolved, ruthless warrior who’s unlocked “100 percent” of the human brain’s capacity. Aside from the dubious science of the 10 percent brain-usage myth underpinning the film, Lucy promises some feisty female-driven action and intriguing psychological weaponry.
This French science fiction action film was shot in Taipei, Paris and New York City, and since it was released across the seas, has become the third highest-grossing female-action figure film just after Wanted and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Morgan Freeman is also featured in Lucy, playing an accomplished scientist/researcher, just like he was in Batman.
