Bangkok--Dec 21--TOTAL QUALITY PR (THAILAND)
This January, there’s even more reason to be thankful for Fridays! With new movies galore, the end of the week has never been this good.
Jakob the Liar — 7 January
In the midst of World War II in Nazi-occupied Poland, Jakob plays a dangerous game with the Germans when he begins a crusade to spread hope by cooking up fictitious stories about Soviet military successes against the Nazis.
As his stories of hope spread throughout the oppressed ghetto in which he lives, a rumour emerges that Jakob has a radio — an offence punishable by death — and the blood-thirsty Nazis set out on a hunt for the resistance hero who dares to defy them.
Starring Academy Award? winner Robin Williams (One Hour Photo, Good Will Hunting, The Final Cut) and Oscar? nominees Alan Arkin (Catch-22) and Armin Mueller-Stahl (Shine).
Cruel and Unusual — 14 January
When Kate’s younger brother mysteriously disappears after trying to warn her about a visiting stranger whom she’s starting to fall for, she starts to realise that the alluring stranger may not be all she thinks he is.
Torn between her feelings for the seemingly harmless man and the warnings of her missing brother, she finds herself in a race against time to uncover the truth and to save her only sibling.
Starring Academy Award? nominee Tom Berenger (Born on the Fourth of July, Platoon).
Cruel Intentions 2 — 21 January
Brilliant young trouble-maker Sebastien is given the chance to reinvent himself for the better when his father marries an immensely wealthy woman and he moves in with his new stepfamily. But his plan to put his questionable past behind him falls to pieces upon meeting his heartless, manipulative stepsister, Kathryn.
A hostile contest of one-upmanship and humiliation quickly develops between them, and they both vow to destroy each other in a battle of wills that sees them both going to extremes to out-scheme each other.
This roaringly wicked tale starring Robin Dunne (Species III, The Big Hit) and Amy Adams (Catch Me If You Can, Serving Sara)
Warriors of Heaven & Earth — 28 January
On the Emperor’s orders, illustrious swordsman Lai Xi sets out along the Silk Road to find the legendary Lieutenant Li, a renegade soldier wanted for leading a violent mutiny. But instead of meeting a murderous criminal that Li was portrayed to be, Lai Xi instead finds a righteous man who mutinied only when ordered to massacre a group of women and children.
When the two men come across a caravan carrying a sacred and powerful pagoda bound for the emperor, they agree to delay their final battle, and unite to protect the caravan from the schemes of the region’s ruthless overlord, Master An. Side by side, the two legendary warriors face the cruelty of the desert and the brutality of the overlord’s men before they can finally face one another in a duel to the death.
This epic tale is directed by renowned Chinese writer and director He Ping (Swordsman in Double Flag Town), and brings together a remarkable cast — China’s most popular actors, Jiang Wen (Red Sorghum) and Zhao Wei (So Close), and Japan’s top-ranked star, Kiichi Nakai.
