FILM: That Demon Within (魔警)

New Chinese movies I want to see in 2014:

That Demon Within (魔警)

Why I want 2 C it: Demon looks like a very stylish action pic w/ enough twists to make it fresh. It could have a Fight Club like split-personality thing which would be an interesting injection into HK action film.

Director: Dante LAM  Starring: Daniel WU & Nick CHEUNG

   But it becomes obvious that Dave is suffering from a severe mental disorder, and he finds that instead of upholding the law, he has now become a fugitive wanted for murder. Dave executes one final move that is certain to wipe out all traces of the gang and restore his reputation as a good police officer.

THAI: Ploy Chermarn (พลอย-เฌอมาลย์) in Swimsuit

ImageMagazine - January 2014 Issue
Photos via: Magazine Dee & Image FB page

Name: Chermarn/Laila Boonyasak (เฌอมาลย์ บุญยศักดิ์)

Nickname: Ploy/พลอย

Profession: Actress/Model

Date of birth: September 15, 1982

   Ploy gained most of her fans thru her roles on Thai Lakorns (ละคร = nighttime TV dramas). 

   Unlike the majority of Daras (ดารา = Thai stars) who only play Nang-ek (นางเอก = heroine), Ploy has also played her share of villains. 

   Usually Lakorns are compared to soap operas or their nighttime equivalent (Dynasty, Melrose Place, OC, etc), because of their over the top emotional confrontations & cliched plot devices (evil twins, rich vs. poor, amnesia, etc).

   However, Thai Lakorns have closed story lines & are closer to mini-series usually airing 2ice/week over 2 - 3 months.  

      

    SELECTED LAKORN-OGRAPHY: 

    The Best of Chermarn - IMO

Chester Ming played by Kenneth Choi

Born: October 20, 1971 in Chicago, Illinois, USA

   Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, Choi desperately dreamed of becoming an actor. Against his family's wishes, Choi left Purdue college to pursue his dream. He literally ran away from home for 5 years to train and study before moving to Los Angeles. Once in L.A., Choi hit the ground running. He was cast in an independent film during his first week and finished the year with appearances in 6 television series.

   Chester Ming is an outstanding Asian-American character more because of what he isn’t.
