Review: "Inception movie review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the first blockbuster this year that I have rated higher than 4. And it derserves its rating. Not any lower nor higher. Inception is Chris Nolan's latest movie. I have seen three of his movies. His movies are pretty good. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are solid. Prestige, though, wasn't that good, I found it boring. Inception is neither the batman movies nor prestige. It is intense throughout and holds an interesting premise.
The story: Some specialised people can go inside people's dreams/mind and steal information from them. The premise is interesting and it is carried out interestingly. With the movie starts with a bang, you know you will be in for a ride. It is intense because you don't know whether the characters are in a dream. Yes, this movie will make you care for the characters, you would want them all to survive through the whole movie. It then turns into the slightly complex story line where they can go into different layers of a dream. Action is alright, not exactly big. Music by Hans Zimmer is top-notch. And this has non-stop music even during in the talking scenes.
Overall: It is a pretty good movie not to be missed. This is something new for this year's blockbusters. The blockbusters this year are generic with big action scenes. This may not deliver on the action but it certainly delivers on the storyline.

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: 4.3/5 Review: "American Made film review" "An entertaining and fun well-made film boosted by great direction and acting." Doug Liman and Tom Cruise paired up together again for a fast-paced and colorful biography on Barry Seal. American Made may not have the blockbuster action but it holds up on its own firmly with the help of a great direction by Doug. Tom Cruise is definitely the main highlight of the film and he is what made it so entertaining. The story: The pace is brisk; it takes the audience on a crazy ride from the start and never slows down. Though it never felt boring, sometimes I felt that it could have slowed down for some development. After the film ended, it seems that Doug and Tom had a clear mind on just keeping the audience as entertained as they can be. It cuts to the chase and never dwells on anything such as emotions. It moves quickly from event to event. Advantage is that I was not bored at all. Disadvantage is that it felt li...
