Thai authorites are on the lookout for Lee Aldhouse, a British professional kickboxer who knifed an American tourist to death one week ago. Aldhouse, who seems to have quite the reputation as a violent douchebag, provoked a fight with 23-year-old ex-Marine Dashawn Longfellow at a Phuket bar before following Longfellow back to his hotel and stabbing him to death. Aldhouse, [...]
I love tattoos. I don’t have any myself (It’s not that I’m a baby about pain- trust me, after labor and a c-section I cannot be fazed, pain-wise- it’s just that I have other things I would rather spend my money on) but I like to look at other people’s. And if you tell people you like their tat, they [...]
I’m under your bed, licking your floor I’ll be out of town until Monday afternoon, but next week will be packed with the last six reviews I need to complete my goal. Also, like I did last year, I’ll be posting a ghost story every day in the week leading up to Halloween! The Unborn (Thailand, 2003) I hope I [...]
3 down…10 more to go! Dorm (Thailand, 2004) Dorm has a lot in common with Guillermo del Toro’s 2001 movie The Devil’s Backbone. Both are set in a boys’ school. In both, the characters are haunted by the death of a fellow student, and both films rely heavily on atmosphere rather than outright scares. And, as in del Toro’s film, [...]
Thailand’s had a rough year- governments settling in only to be booted out, angry mobs (wielding torches and farm implements?…one can hope) and tons of unrest. So some of the residents of ‘The Land of Smiles’ have forgotten how to smile. Especially cops, who probably have a really stressful job even in peaceful years. But there is a solution in [...]
Netflix just added a handful of goodies to their Instant Watch service, including The Machine Girl, Tokyo Gore Police, and the Thai horror flick Art of the Devil II (Art of the Devil I has been up there for a while, I think…). Here are a few trailers in case you want to see what you’re getting into…
A cute little panda was born in a Thai zoo, which will probably please Panda consumption proponent Chris Packham. Table for one, then Chris? Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
Buddhist monastaries in Thailand are implementing new guidelines for how their monks behave in public. Apparently, these guys are total boors in public. Especially the gay ones. Senior monk Phra Maha Wudhijaya Vajiramedhi told the BBC he would address issues like smoking, drinking alcohol, walking and going to the toilet properly, which are all detailed in the traditional 75 Dharma [...]
In Thailand, an autistic kid climbed out onto a third-story window ledge on the first day at his new school (I bet his parents are really eager to send him for a second day, now), only to be rescued by….SPIDER-MAN! BBC Article A fireman dressed as the kid’s favorite superhero coaxed him down rom the ledge. A fireman who just [...]
A British guy in Thailand hooked a stingray that was roughly 7″ by 7″ and weighed 55 stone- in normal language, that’s 770 pounds! Monster Ray Pic Once on Iron Chef the secret ingredient was stingray meat from the ‘wings’…and that shit looked disgusting. It was all gray and greasy. Fortunately, this giant ray was saved from a fate of [...]
What’s not to like? Delicious cookies that make your boobs bigger. Of course, by the time you eat enough cookies to become an F-cup, your ass is also enormous. The Japanese manufacturer of the cookies says it has never claimed that its product actual causes breasts to grow larger, and that it is merely a dietary supplement Yeah, obviously the [...]
Just kidding. Anteaters don’t actually want to eat you- they want to eat delicious ants. But they are sensitive to noise, it seems: Anteaters on Vacation It’s nice that the zookeepers sent them away to avoid the disturbance. Though I’m sure the two people who died in the clash don’t care so much about that. But Hell, there’s 6 billion [...]

Gary Glitter, who was recently released from a Vietnamese prison where he did three years for diddling children, is ‘in transit’ at Bangkok airport after refusing to board a flight to London. I don’t know about you, but after spending 3 years in a Vietnamese prison, I’d gladly fly just about anywhere other than Vietnam. Maybe he should charter a [...]
I don’t know very much about this film (which is a Pang Brothers-directed remake of their own 1999 film of the same name), but its’ been in the can for two years. Apparently some political turmoil in Thailand hampered production. Looks fun, though. Bangkok Dangerous is out September 5th.
