For those who are into action movies; this one is a must watch. It’s freaking awesome. The screenplay, quality, storyline. Everything was completely superb. It had the perfect blend of action, drama, and artistic martial arts scenes. This movie took awhile to film and they didn’t disappoint us because all that time spent was worth it.

For those who are into movies for their quality, artistic portrayl’s then this one is a must see. I give it 2 thumbs up and a score of 10!

Additionally, I would like to correct a common misconception. There are many people who believe that Ong Bak 2 is in fact Tom Yum Goong (The Protector). Well sorry to burst bubbles lol, but Tom Yum Goong is Tom Yum Goong. Ong Bak 2 was released December 4th 2008. Meaning, it’s a completely new production.

Another thing, Ong Bak 2 is in no way, shape, or form the sequel and/or prequel to the Original Ong Bak nor Tom Yum Goong. It’s a completely new movie with a completely new storyline. Now you’ve heard it pass it on ;p

Also, I added a new page, Wall of Words. On that page I’ll probably be posting up a word everyday that I find interesting. They may not all be SAT words exactly, but they of course manage to captivate me and entice me in some ways ;p

Tom returns to his hometown on the tenth anniversary of the Valentine’s night massacre that claimed the lives of 22 people. Instead of a homecoming, however, Tom finds himself suspected of committing the murders, and it seems like his old flame is the only one will believes he’s innocent.

Body #19 is one of those must watch. If you haven’t seen it; I totally recommend it. The story has great twists. It’s not those average supernatural thriller. I give it 10/10! The acting is superb. Also you get to preview the acting of new comer Pae Arak who will be previewing in a lakorn with non other than the legendary Aum Patcharapa.

Here’s the plot:

Chon, a med student, starts seeing a psychotherapist after he dreams about a woman who he had only met once in a restaurant.

In his dreams, a mysterious man murders her, slices her body into pieces, and flushes them down a toilet one by one. The murderous dreams haunt him into his waking memory, and eventually he feels as if his own body is being dissected and carved up by the surgical knife. Slowly, the terrifying images take control of him. He comes to believe that the dead woman is sending him messages through these nightmares. But these are not messages for him, they are meant for her murderer. They speak of revenge, and say: “I am still here.”

I’ll say that this movie is awesome. I’ve read so many reviews on it and lots of them being bad. Most of those reviews are by westerners. I hate how westerners get to critique Asian Cinegraphy. Why? Because they give bias reviews towards the Western horror films in comparison to Asian horror film. I once read a review by someone who totally praised One Missed Call the American version and totally bashed the Asian version! Dude any movie lover would know that the Asian version was much better and the plot and storyline was constant where in the American version they totally added so much crap that the original movie didn’t have. All that crap NEVER ties into the movie either! My family and I totally loved Body #19. Even my 6 and 10 year old sisters found it entertaining. What we liked was that the story took a turn for the unexpected. If you play close attention to details you would totally be able to figure out and go OHHH in the ending of the movie. I urge that you DO NOT read any spoilers for the movies prior to watching it because it will totally ruin it for you.

Just to be clear my criticism on Western critics aren’t meant to be offensive. After being pointed out. I realized that I never went back to correct myself on that. I totally didn’t mean to be offensive and I do appreciate everyone’s opinion and review’s it’s just that I get kind of upset when I see 100 bias remarks against a perfectly beautiful work against a noticeable piece of crap; thus forgetting everyone’s opinion is different. Remember my blog is all fun and games. I may say things I don’t mean sometimes but I’ll always go back and correct myself when I feel better.
