Review: "Kamen Rider Cho Den-O and Decade movie review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Den-O is a really popular character in Kamen Rider, after his third movie, a forth one appears. I feel that he is too over-rated but whatever it is, his new movie still entertains. The new movie is not as good as his past movies and that is because I am a little sick in seeing him taking the spotlight. As the title states," Cho Den-O and Decade" I thought I would see Decade in some kick-ass action but no, he is just a background character-he appears for less than 15 minutes! To see some real action of Decade, I should wait for his real movie that came later this year.

The story: It has nothing special...the only thing exciting is the CGI battle between the Den liner and a battleship. This time, the action is not very exciting. I could say that this is not a very good Kamen Rider movie. Yes, it has non-stop action but I have seen everything in this movie before. The story is the usual superhero/Kamen Rider type, the action is just alright with no great stunts, CGI is okay and music could have been better. All this summarise into a typical and average kids action movie.

Overall: Though it is a bit disappointing, the fun value is still there. Kamen Rider beating the shit out of each other and bad guys. The 1 hour and 20 minutes movie still entertains me but not as much as other Kamen Rider movies. Enough with Den-O and move on. Den-O is getting old.

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...
