Review: "Alice In Wonderland 3D movie review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am kind of surprised I enjoyed this 3D movie. I actually did not expect much from Tim Burton's movie. I may the only one who is not very interested in his movies. This just pipe my interest as I am interested in seeing how his version of Alice will be like. I went to see it with low expectations and instead I enjoyed it. The 3D effect has helped to enhance the movie by giving the feeling of places in the movie.
The story: It is sort of a sequel but Tim said it is not. So whether it is sequel or not, I look at it as a stand-alone movie. I like his version of Alice, the pace is brisk and I did not feel bored (The 3D helps). I find this more engaging than the cartoon by Disney too and one of the TV apdatation. The characters here are more likable. As the usual Tim's movies, this movie is a little dark with some intense scenes. The truth is I enjoyed this more than Avatar. Avatar may be ground-breaking for people but it is not for me. Because of its long runtime, Avatar spends time talking about some mushy contents, they are not even interesting. But staying throughout the film pays off, you will be treated to a war scene in 3D. But the thing is it is too long, my eyes got a little tired wearing the glasses. The time of Alice is just nice, 1 hour and 48 minutes. Danny Elfman has done it again by composing some striking music.
Overall: This may be the first Tim's movie I like. The 3D may not be popping out at you but it is enough to gain the realistic yet cartoonish tone of the movie. The 3D version may also be too intense for kids, 2D would be fine anyway. Half way in the movie, a kid was crying for no reason...

Rating: 3.4/5 Review: "The Spirit of Ramayana" (103 minutes) "A passable Thai horror movie with an interesting concept but weak execution." As a low-budget horror movie, it has enough entertainment values. In the recent years, there are a few strong Thai horror movies with decent production values and there are many mediocre low-budget horror movies. The Spirit of Ramayana is somewhat in the middle. It may not look that polished but its themes and concept are intriguing enough. The story: The narrative is straight forward however its editing made the movie look messy and disjointed. It is a simple story about Mintra, a young dancer who is rejected for the main role because she cannot pull off an evil and sensual side. However, a spirit helps her to unleash her dark side. On paper, it sounds like a supernatural Black Swan. It lacks the emotional depth of Black Swan as the director seems only interested in churning out cheap scares. As the plot develops fur...

Rating: 4.3/5 Review: "American Made film review" "An entertaining and fun well-made film boosted by great direction and acting." Doug Liman and Tom Cruise paired up together again for a fast-paced and colorful biography on Barry Seal. American Made may not have the blockbuster action but it holds up on its own firmly with the help of a great direction by Doug. Tom Cruise is definitely the main highlight of the film and he is what made it so entertaining. The story: The pace is brisk; it takes the audience on a crazy ride from the start and never slows down. Though it never felt boring, sometimes I felt that it could have slowed down for some development. After the film ended, it seems that Doug and Tom had a clear mind on just keeping the audience as entertained as they can be. It cuts to the chase and never dwells on anything such as emotions. It moves quickly from event to event. Advantage is that I was not bored at all. Disadvantage is that it felt li...

Best and Worst movies of 2011 2011 is over! It sees many good movies so it was kind of tricky to list the best 4 movies of 2011. It had been a good year for movies. Let's see if 2012 is any better. 1.Transformers: Dark of the Moon Rating: 4.5/5 It is one of the best 3D movie ever. It has cool action, great 3D and robots. It may be the final Transformers for Michael Bay. Only thing that can be improved is that rushed out ending. Other than that, it could be 2011 best action movie. 2.Sucker Punch Rating: 4.5/5 It is sad to see the critics slamming this movie. I find its presentation kind of cool and unique. The action is not bad too. Zack Synder really has a sense of cool visual which the movie a more interesting view. 3.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Rating: 4.5/5 The end is finally here. Although it is the most action-packed movie in the franchise, I can't help but feel a little disappointed with the climax. I wanted a longer and more epic battle between Harry and Voldemo...
