---------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...

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 Voldemo...

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "Iron Man 2 DVD review" Well, for me, it is kind of disappointing. Seeing the lack of action and three short action scenes disappoints me as this movie has been reported to have a higher budget than the first one. Another thing disappointing is the pace. The pace in the first Iron Man movie is intense, it is filled with intense moments and quirky humour. This one's pace is slower with all the melodrama of Tony trying to live his "broken" life as he thinks he will soon die. And he starts being an ass, some drunk ass, and blah blah.... The story: The first third of the movie is not bad, still holding up some interesting moments like the villian, Ivan in a car race scene. The second third is where the story slows down, luckily it is bearable, when Tony behaves like an ass, drinking and dancing like some nut monkey. Then there is an action scene with Tony and his best friend in armour. The last third is the climax between Tony and Ivan which is...
