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 Voldemort. Other than that, it is a good closure.

4.Gantz: Perfect Answer
Rating: 4.5/5
It was a tough choice but this makes the top 4 in the list. It is great Japanese movie. I have not seen a Japanese movie that could deliver the action in this. On top of the cool action scenes, the movie is intense throughout. It is a pity that there is no third part.

Although 2011 has many great movies, it also has some bad/boring movies which make me yawn.

1.The Dragon Pearl
Rating: 1.8/5
This is really boring. It does not have the excuse that it should be boring because it is a children fantasy movie. Most of time, the story is almost none as far as I can remember. Only the last half and hour, the kids search for the pearl and the dragon appears. The few fighting scenes are alright but they do not make up for the really boring story.

2.Age of the Dragons
Rating: 2/5
This is also another really boring movie where nothing much happen. The pace moves slowly. The action scenes are few and lame. The only thing good about it is the props and costumes. The rest of the movie is a real bore.

3.Skateland
Rating: 2/5
Ashley Greene can't even save the boring movie. The movie felt pointless and nothing interesting happen. I almost fell asleep watching this.

4.In the Name of the King: Two Worlds
Rating: 1.9/5
The first one directed by Uwe Boll is okay. But this is a really boring sequel directed by Uwe Boll. I don't know why a sequel exist and the story is really lame. A ex-soldier is being transported to medival time. It is also low-budget. The story is pointless just some boring talks between characters. Blah. The only thing good is the action scenes, it seems Uwe has improved on his action scenes.

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...
