Focusing on and dramatizing the first 22 chapters in The Book of Genesis, "The Bible... in the Beginning...," Huston diligently explores the Biblical version of the origins of mankind. The stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah and the Ark, the Tower of Babel, Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham and Sarah, their son Isaac and Abraham's covenant with God are all dealt with in epic fashion.

8th April 2006: The Ten Commandments
USA - 1956 - 220 mins - Rated - G
Director: Cecil B. DeMille

A biblical film that would become a landmark in movie history itself, The Ten Commandments clinched Oscar award with the scene that shows the parting of the Red Sea. It is ranked fifth in the US All Time Box Office (after adjusting for ticket price inflation). Needless to say, this is DeMille's greatest work ever.

15th April 2006: King David
USA - 1985 - 114 mins - Rated - PG-13
Director: Bruce Beresford

Richard Gere gave a fine performance as King David, a shephdr-boy who slew Goliath and became King of Biblical Israel. Director Bruce Beresford wasn't aiming to make King David a larger-than-life epic, intending instead to create a more sophisdticated study of dramatic character.

22nd April 2006: The Gospel According to St. Matthew
Italian - B&W - 1964 - 133 min - Rated - N/A
Director: Pier Paolo Pasolini

A very poetic motion picture narration of the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth, based on the witness of St Matthew. Pier Paolo Pasolini's movie is one of the most spiritual films ever made. An atheist and Marxist himself, he presents a rather revolutionary, stern Jesus using parables to teach his disciples.

COMMERCIAL CINEMAS IN CHIANG MAI

Chiang Mai is not without good cinemas for film buffs. Although only two cinema operators are competing to attract the big-screen fans, a wide variety of choices are on offer daily from noon to midnight.

The Vista Entertainment Group

Established about 13 years ago, Vista theaters on the fourth floor of Kad Suan Kaew introduced the people of Chiang Mai to the multiplex theaters and the thrills of Hollywood magic. Of the seven digital-sound theaters in Kad Suan Kaew, Vista 1 - 4 offer a large capacity and big screen, while the rest are of medium and low capacity. Vista Group also has four other large capacity theaters, of which two at the 12 Huay Kaew arcade opposite Kad Suan Kaew also show English-speaking films.

Reservation: phone 053-894415 (Kad Suan Kaew), 053- 404374 (12 Huay Kaew)

Major Cineplex

A now household name for movie theater buffs in Thailand, Major Cineplex offers a relatively new cinema complex on the fourth floor of Central Airport Plaza. Although the theaters are generally of lower capacity, they boast more comfortable seats and superior audio-visual systems.

Reservation: phone 053-283939, or visit http://www.majorcineplex.com for on-line ticketing.
