---------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: 3.5/5 Review: Taken DVD review Taken is a new action movie that makes the audiences want more hard and gritty action flicks. I can see that now. Taken has the drama (Yawn!) and the realistic action (Like the Borne movies). Clocking at only 1 and a half hour, the movie starts off slow with drama. After half and hour pass, it goes straight to the intensity and non-stop realistic action. I don't like the slow start. As it is only 1 and a half hour, it do not have the time for slow characters' development. It should drive straight to the action, unless it clocks around 2 hours. The story: It seems to be the usual kidnapping movies where the bad guys kidnap some random girl/boy and ask for ransom. But in this, they kidnap young women to become sex-slaves. A father of a kidnapped daughter is enraged and goes to Paris where his daughter is. "I will find you! I will kill you!" He says to the bad guys. He starts punching and kicking people to hell. He kicks men's b...
Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "From Vegas To Macau 2 movie review" "Loads of fun in Wong Jing's bigger sequel." Wong Jing is back with more madness, action, explosion and a longer runtime. As every sequel tries to top its original in every way, From Vegas To Macau 2 is no different. Lots of explosion, lots of wacky humour and more CGI, if these are your entertainment, the movie will do you no wrong. From the opening gun fight to the CGI climax, the story is kept brisk to keep your attention in check. The story: Chow Yun-fat is back as the titular gambler, Ken, with the magic hand. This time, the movie exaggerates his skills with CGI poker cards until it almost becomes a fantasy. But that's to be expected in a Wong Jing's movie. This time, the location is shifted to Thailand where Mark (Nick Cheung), an accountant in a money-laundering syndicate, DOA, is chased by Interpol and DOA. Ken has to save him and help his protege, Vincent (Shawn Yue). Wong Ji...
Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D season 2 TV review" Season 2 has improved greatly. Starting straight from the massive cliffhanger in season 1, season 2 is more tense, action-packed, darker and better paced. I think season 1 took its time to introduce its characters before diving into the action. The time is spread out to individual characters' development. More twists and turns make the season a stark improvement. Episode 1-22: Skye has discovered her powers and is learning how to cope with it. Meanwhile, the team has its problems. Coulson seems to be hiding secrets. In fact, everybody has secrets. More powers are unleashed. It is a little surprising that Marvel is bold enough to veer the series to a darker tone by amping up the number of deaths and more violence. The whole season has little humour and moves at a brisk pace without really pausing. As the tension between human and superhuman increases by each episode, it is an exciting season that w...
