Coming to Chiang Mai (or showing already?)

The Forgotten

When single mother, Telly Paretta (Julianne Moore), loses her 8-year-old son, she seeks the help of a psychiatrist (Gary Sinise) to cope with the pain, only to be told that her son is merely a figment of her imagination, and her mind making up eight years of false memories. When she meets Ash Correl (Dominic West), a father who has a similar experience with his own disappeared daughter, they try to find the answer behind the mystery to prove the reality of their children and their own sanity also. Directed by Joseph Ruben.

National Treasure

'Indiana Jones of the year 2004' Benjamin Franklin (Cage) tries to find the national treasure which his family hid eight generations back - a treasure partly used to finance the War of Independence by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and his name-sake predecessor Benjamin Franklin. The hunt involves clues that include a map which was made on the first day of Independence. Directed by Jon Turtletaub, starring Nicholas Cage, Sean Bean , Diane Kruger, Harvey Keitel and Justin Bartha.

AUA

The real film freak can get him/herself to AUA on Rajdamnern Road, just up from Pratu Thapae. There, in Chiang Mai’s coolest, most convenient little English-language library, you can take your pick of close to 200 of the choicest videos going. You want Five Easy Pieces, Trainspotting, Leaving Las Vegas, Das Boot, Apocalypse Now, La Haine, Mon Oncle, Men in Black, The Third Man, Taxi Driver, Wild Strawberries, Cyrano de Bergerac, Blade Runner, The Simpsons, The Bicycle Thieves, etc. etc. etc? You do? Well, they got it. And for a smallish charge you can either take it home or see it on the premises. And now - DVDs too!

La Grande Vadroville (1966)

An British bomber is shot down over Paris by the Germans. Its crew (Terry Thomas is flight captain) bale out and land by parachute.

Les Vacances de M. Hulot (1953)

Mr. Hulot goes on holiday to a seaside resort, but accidents and misunderstandings follow wherever he goes. The peace and quiet of the hotel guests don't last very long with Hulot around, because although his intentions are good, they always turn out catastrophically. An all-time comedy classic.
