Review: "Resident Evil Afterlife 3D movie review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another cool 3D movie which has the depth of the 3D. The last 3D movie I have seen is Step Up 3D and it makes full use of the 3D. Afterlife also makes full use of the technology but it does not have many things that pop out like Step Up. The 3D also helps to create a bleak atmosphere in the movie and exciting during the action scenes. This is actually almost the same as the other three live-action movies; they basically have the same plotline except that they have different survivors in different locations. This also amp up the special effects like slow-motion scenes.
The story: Alice is still surviving after the big hit against the umbrella corps in Japan. She goes around and sees if there are any survivors. Most of the story takes place in a huge building surrounding with zombies. Alice and Claire are trapped in the building with some survivors. Alice finds that not every body can fit in her airplane which can carry two people...and Alice going to find a way to save them all. The action scenes are not bad, they are like in your face. But the short climax is disappointing. There are some annoying and really cheap shock scenes which involve zombies suddenly appearing behind someone's back. Music is cool though the pop music is sometimes not needed.
Overall: It is worth the money to watch it in 3D. This does give me a sense of 3D and bring me to the terrible and rotten world the characters are in. Though there are not much stuff popping out of the screen, the 3D shows the action and zombies right in your face. The next movie that is filmed in 3D this year is Tron Legacy. Can't wait for it.

Rating: 4.5/5 Review: "Man of Steel movie review" With all the hype from the trailers, I must say this is what it looks to be expected. I have to say that this is the biggest and epic superhero movie yet. This treats destructions like child's play. It is also the most explosive superhero movie. There are so much explosions that they could literally make you exhausted from watching all those. Although this is directed by Zack Snyder, this does not have much of his trademark except the visuals. His slo-mo trademark is not featured. Instead, the action is rapid fast. Man of Steel is a good entertainment with exciting action scenes and visuals but at the same, a somehow touching human drama. The story: We get an extended opening scene on Krypton where Kal-El is just born. However the planet is going to be destroyed with General Zod adding to the problem. To save Kal-El, he has to be sent to another planet known as Earth. What is interesting about the movie that it do...

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: "The Exchange" (90 minutes) "A decent fast-paced Thai heist thriller that is marred by weak action choreography and shoddy editing"  It's a low-key movie. You can hardly find information about this online when you type in its English title. Perhaps you will have better luck finding information in Thai. My curiosity piqued when I couldn't find any English review on it. Should I take the risk in watching an unknown movie? I finally decided that it wouldn't hurt buying a cheap ticket (US$2.50) to experience it. I actually enjoyed the movie but not the experience. Sure the movie has its own flaws but it is not as distracting as the badly dubbed Khmer language. The dub is emotionless and does not fit the tone of the characters. I know Thai and Khmer are two different languages but I couldn't help by being distracted with the bad lip sync throughout the whole movie. On the other hand, the movie is fast-paced enough to hol...
