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...

Rating: 3.7/5 Review: "Terminator Salvation DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is not bad. It is not the worst terminator movie, I actually thought Terminator 1 is just okay. Terminator 2 and 3 are quite entertaining followed by also entertaining Salvation. MCG, the director of Charlies' Angels, takes the directing seat and turned terminator into a dark and gritty world. As what he said, he did not want the future to be a shiny world but a dark and gritty world. He is considered to have done a great job in that and creating the realistic and cool action. But his story pretty much stays the same as his other movies, a simple mindless thrill ride. The story: The future is here and the year is 2018...John Conner is a daring man who will be willing to save people from Skynet, a evil organisation which creates Terminators. A mysterious man who is supposed to be dead suddenly finds himself in the year of...

Quick DVD reviews Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Batman: Gotham Knight DVD review" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2D animated movie has six different stories which are interesting on their own. The stories are fast-paced and some of them are action-packed due to the short runtime. The whole movie is only 1 hour and 16 minutes. Some of the famous villians are featured like Scarecrow and the Lizard. The six different stories also have their different styles, Batman seems like a fat monster in one of the story and he is a sleak man in black in another. Overall: It is a good watch even for those who are not a Batman fan but are into the recent live-action Batman movies. DVD special features-3.7/5 The second disc features two good and informative featurettes. One is about the villans of Batman (36 minutes). The writers and producers explain some of the famous villians like Joker and Scarecrow. The interesting facts are that they even ...
