Bustin’ makes us feel good. Here are the movies to watch in cinemas in Thailand this April.
What better place to take refuge from the heat than in the cool confines of a theatre? Watch Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain in a gripping suburban thriller or witness the origins of the evil Omen child. You can also witness Ryan Gosling become action star Ken alongside Emily Blunt, or you can opt for the slightly disturbing, might-come-true A24 film about the United States. Still not satisfied? Then run into the arms of your childhood heroes and return to that familiar place in New York City.
