CHOCOLATE (2008) - Sept. 13, 2008
This is the newest film from the director of Ong-Bak and the Protector, and despite the absence of Tony Jaa, this features action that's easily just as good if not better than in those films. It's pretty clear that Prachya Pinkaew is awesome at directing action but pretty awful at everything else -- the first half hour or so, featuring almost no action, is tough to sit through. But it's worth it for what follows: once the action kicks in, it pretty much doesn't stop until the movie ends. And man, is it good. If this movie is any indication, JeeJa Yanin should have a promising career ahead of her. ***
