What’s in the box? Here are the movies to watch in cinemas in Thailand this January.
It’s a brand new year which means another year to get to the theater. The first month of the year sees Hugh Grant take a villainous turn and an erotic thriller from South Korea that will surely make some uneasy. There’s also a buddy comedy-drama starring Kieran Culkin and Jesse Eisenberg. But perhaps the highlight of the month is the return of a thrilling and disturbing David Fincher classic that you can watch on a huge IMAX screen.
