I've heard from various sources that all cinemas showing western (or non-Khmer) films have closed down, then I hear there's a new one, elsewhere i hear no thats not true, etc.
Can someone give me a definitive answer on whether PP has cinemas playing western films?
If not, how's the quality of the pirates of the carribean DVDs going round PP right now
Cinemas in PP?

As far as i'm aware THE PEACE PUB is the only space in town that regularly shows movies. We have an athouse night every thursday (see the thread) and show the big blockbusters when we get a good copy.
over the years we have screened Phnom Penh's premier of Star wars . Fahrenheit, king kong, war of the world, devinci code as well as dozens of independant movies.
We will be showing superman returns and pirates when decent copies come out.

No foreign movie cinemas..occassionally some of the Khmer cinemas have movies with English subtitles... occassionally. No popcorn though.
Always good copies of DVD's available. Secret is to establish a relationship with your seller so you can just ask if its shit or good. My seller tells me which ones are shit now, because she knows Ill be back when the good copy arrives, and Ill whinge like a muthaf*&er when she lies to me about the quality.

My experience has been the same. Nice family and nice people.Per Seuss' post, I can recommend the shop on 178 near FCC as being very straight up. They'll tell tell you whether it's a decent copy or not (and exchange if you have a problem). Nice people.

im bringing along series 3 of frontline (the fake current affairs doco made by 'The Panel' guys) to give to someone here, if any of you aussies remember the show and want a copy, let me know...[/quote]
Frontline...a brilliant vivisection of the organ of lies and crap that we call the News Media. I have my own copy of series one, and recommend it to all. I'm now in Saigon but will certainly contact you re series 2 when I get back to PP.
Also try 'Couplng' (UK) for a laugh and 'Wildside' for drama that shows the American crime crap for what it is: a cheap perv that reinforces Americans' paranoia about everyone both inside and outside of America.
W should be collecting and protecting these videos because the way things are ging they will be banned some day.
