Firecracker issue 11 a poppin

There's a bunch of Thai film coverage in the new issue of Firecracker.

• An interview with Beautiful Boxer director Ekachai Eukrongtham.
• A review of Beautiful Boxer (film due for release in UK on October 21).
• A DVD review of The Bodyguard, Petchtai Wongkamlao's action-packed directoral debut.
• A DVD review of Ong-Bak.
• And a feature by Robert Williamson on the Brit-directed Thai film, The Ghost of Mae Nak.

Incidentally, I just watched The Bodyguard. I didn't get the fully loaded, subtitled Region 2 version. Not yet anyway. No, for about $1, I picked up a legal Thai copy of the DVD. No subtitles, so I miss out on the jokes, but the action is awesome.
