Review: "Inception movie review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the first blockbuster this year that I have rated higher than 4. And it derserves its rating. Not any lower nor higher. Inception is Chris Nolan's latest movie. I have seen three of his movies. His movies are pretty good. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are solid. Prestige, though, wasn't that good, I found it boring. Inception is neither the batman movies nor prestige. It is intense throughout and holds an interesting premise.
The story: Some specialised people can go inside people's dreams/mind and steal information from them. The premise is interesting and it is carried out interestingly. With the movie starts with a bang, you know you will be in for a ride. It is intense because you don't know whether the characters are in a dream. Yes, this movie will make you care for the characters, you would want them all to survive through the whole movie. It then turns into the slightly complex story line where they can go into different layers of a dream. Action is alright, not exactly big. Music by Hans Zimmer is top-notch. And this has non-stop music even during in the talking scenes.
Overall: It is a pretty good movie not to be missed. This is something new for this year's blockbusters. The blockbusters this year are generic with big action scenes. This may not deliver on the action but it certainly delivers on the storyline.

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: 3.5/5 Review: "G-Force movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is not all that bad, at least it tries its to be an enjoyable family movie flick. But as usual, Disney movies now are getting haters around the world due to its popular teens and live-action animals-talking movies. So now, when they see a live-action Disney movie whether it has teenagers singing or animals yapping away, they would be put off immediately. Whatever it is, G-force is fun with 3-D. Kids would like the cute animals coming near them. The story: G-Force has a simple story which is also not creative. But that it is not what kids want, they would want to see action blazing through their ways. As this being a Jerry Bruckheimer production, you can expect at least a car chase and some explosion but only more mild. Trevor Rabin did a good work in creating epic music. Though a kid movie, expect some rude humour but also at the same ti...

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "John Carter movie review" Unfortunately, I didn't catch it in 3D. I wasn't sure of how the post-conversion would turn out. Back to the movie. To tell the truth, before John Carter opened, I was not sure if I should give the movie a try. The posters are boring and uninspired and trailers are not really exciting. It was only the week that it opened that I decided to catch it in cinema. I am glad that it is actually a fun and entertaining movie that is worth to watch in cinema. The story: It does pack a lot during the 132 minutes runtime. And it does feel slightly bloated. But it is still fun entertainment. The movie starts with a short action scene on Mars and moves on to John Carter on the human world. Then the next 20-25 minutes show John on Earth. So Sci-Fi will have to wait a while to see John on Mars. The story is simple to understand but the number of characters may confuse. It is sort of a chase movie. The action scenes while short are many...
