In Thailand, Mother’s
Day takes place on August 12 to coincide with Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the
Queen Mother’s birthday. To know more information about its celebration and
history check the following websites:
Now, to begin with my two-part
special dedicated to Mother’s Day, I would like to share the following fan
tributes to my two favorite movies:
Underworld Blood Wars
(2016, Dir. Anna Foerster) is the last one of a vampire horror movie franchise.
We follow the vampire Selene and her daughter Eve who is half vampire and half
Lycan!
Next, White Oleander
(2002, Dir. Peter Kosminsky) is a drama movie. Basically, it tells the life of Astrid
Magnussen as she goes from one foster to home to another while her mother
Ingrid is in prison. Ingrid was imprisoned for murdering her boyfriend with a
poison that contained white oleander. The relationship between the two changes
drastically as Ingrid has to grow up on her own surviving each foster adoption.
