Search for 'Riddick' in English: Udonthani

Udon Thani supposedly has movies in English, and Riddick came out this weekend. And we (Nick and I) really wanted to see it. So as part of our Udonthani 'Western weekend' (Starbucks and DQ and shopping malls, oh my!) we tried to find Riddick in English. 

Movie theater #1 : Central Plaza. Easily the prettiest of the movie theaters, at least from the outside. While they WERE playing Riddick, the only movie they had in English was a crappy dance movie.

Movie theater #2: Landmark. No Riddick but they WERE playing The Conjuring in English, which I wanted to see, so Nick and I bought tickets for the 7:35pm showing. I even got the back row sofa seats, which were 400baht (about $13) for two people, cuz I thought it would be more unique to the Asia movie theater experience. Alas, we got super lost on our way to the hotel and never made it to the movie. 

Movie theater #3: IT Center (across from UD Town). Showed up at 10:45am on a Sunday only to be told that they had no movies in English.

So many American movies everywhere, and we can't understand a single one. 

(What will happen when Catching Fire and X-Men : Days of Future Past come out?!)
