---------Top movies of 2009------------



Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen-Rating: 4.5/5
Action-packed and special effects. The CGI is convincing enough. Big explosions. Big movie in summer. Enough said. Action and special effects, though it can cut down on the lame sexual humour.

Sherlock Holmes-Rating: 4/5
Quite the thriller but not as much as I expected. There is a nice mix of action, mystery, thriller with a touch of humour. This is more of a quiet blockbuster as summer has the big blockbuster filled with explosions etc. Transformers, G.I Joe

Phobia 2-Rating: 4/5
One of the best horror movies I have seen. Even it is one of the best thai movies. It tells five different stories with a runtime of around 2 hours. So that means the pace in each story is fast and straight to the point. Yep, it is also quite thrilling.

Whiteout-Rating: 3.6/5
This is an odd choice but I enjoyed its thrills and mystery although there is not much. Kate also did a pretty convincing job in acting. The action is blend well with the story too. I don't know why this is panned by almost all of the critics. There are far worse movies out there.


-------------Worst movies of 2009------------

Public Enemies-Rating: 3/5
This is not bad but it disappoints me. I thought it would be a thriller and show me the cat and mouse chase but instead it is more of a boring drama about John, the famous criminal of that time. It mostly revovles around him and his life. He is like the over-rated character in the movie. And the FBI who are chasing him are the under-rated characters. They only appear in around half of the movie whereas John appears throughout the whole movie.

Dance movie-Rating: 2.9/5
Not that it is not funny or whatever but it bores me. This is like Date movie, another spoof, which spoofs some boring movies and turns out more boring. Heck, even Meet the spartans, Disaster movie, Epic movie have some interesting things to see. But this has none. It got its 2.9 rating because of its so-called smart ways of spoofing.

The last house on the left-Rating: 2/5
This is a remake and I have not watched the original so I don't know how it can be compared. But this senseless movie has nothing to excite you. This is the type of movie which has no plot but also has nothing else to see. It is not even thrilling. It bores me...and I have nothing else to say to this senseless movie with characters killing for the sake of killing.

Overheard-Rating: 2.5/5
This chinese movie is disappointing as it is helmed by the directers of Infernal Affairs trilogy which is pretty good movie. This has no suspense, no thrills and all about the descisions of three men which can be a bit boring. They should have warned me that this is more of a drama than a thriller which the directers are famous for. The good thing is it is less than two hours.

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...
The Five Best And Worst of 2017 Best 1. Dunkirk This is the top movie of 2017 because it was a pleasant experience in cinema. Watching this in cinema was not an initial intent however the strong reviews caught my attention. It is Christopher Nolan's best. It is short and sweet without dwelling on much. Han Zimmer's thrilling score levitates the movie to a whole new level. 2. Blade Runner 2049 It is another surprise hit for me as I did not intend to watch this in cinema too. The long runtime was partially the drawback for me but I was pleasantly surprised that I was engaged throughout the whole movie. Aside from Dennis Villeneuve's strong direction, Han Zimmer's score is on another level. 3. Thor Ragnarok Last year has been a great year. I did not expect to enjoy the third outing of Thor that much. The first one is so-so and the second one is an improvement however none of them stood out in my memories. Thor Ragnarok is definitely one of the most ...
