Picture palace bids Adieu
Life, Sirinya Wattanasukchai, Published on 22/11/2013
» Nakhon Non Rama looks like any typical stand-alone cinema, with its enormous fluorescent sign featuring Tom Yum Goong 2 out front. But with a grand dual staircase leading to a chandeliered hall on the second floor, this can't be any place except the famed movie house in Nonthaburi.

Raising the stakes
Life, Published on 22/11/2013
» The first instalment introduced the audience to The Hunger Games, with its absurd and brutal rules a la Battle Royale, and this sequel, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, reintroduces us to the same game, with repetitions of how the government relies on the hopes and fears of its cowering citizens to remain in power, on its strategic planning of moves and countermoves within the Games and in real Panem life. But as in any sequel, the stakes have been raised. This instalment is deeper and darker, with the first act reminiscent of a cross between Orwell's 1984 and Mel Stuart's Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory.
