Review: "The Apparition movie review"

Ashley Greene and the premise are the ones that attracted me. Ashley is no doubt hot in this and her acting is not bad. The premise, 'You believe, you die' seems interesting but unfortunately the movie didn't make full use of it. It is just touch and go. The end result is a generic but entertaining horror movie.

The good: Ashley is hot. Music is surprisingly okay for a horror movie. There is a sense of dread in the music. I like that this doesn't resort to jump scenes unlike many others that are eager to make the audience jump often. Unfortunately, those are all that I enjoy or like.

The bad: There are loads. Firstly, the story is seriously generic. There is not much in term of originality. It is really straight-forward with no twist. How many times have you seen a movie about a house being haunted by ghosts? The runtime is a crime. It is only 1 hour and 22 minutes long and take away the credit and what do you get? Nothing much just a series of ghostly events being string up. The events are not that scary nor intense. The climax is one of the worst climax I have seen in a horror movie. There is no resolution. It also brings down the movie. Acting wise is okay. Fans of Tom Felton and Julianna Guill will be disappointed.

Overall: It is barely a watch in cinema. Fans of Ashley Greene and the rest of the cast may catch it. Other than that, there is no other reason people should catch this in cinema. It may fare better if it is Direct-To-DVD. It is a somewhat disappointing generic horror movie that has potential to be better.

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...

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "John Carter movie review" Unfortunately, I didn't catch it in 3D. I wasn't sure of how the post-conversion would turn out. Back to the movie. To tell the truth, before John Carter opened, I was not sure if I should give the movie a try. The posters are boring and uninspired and trailers are not really exciting. It was only the week that it opened that I decided to catch it in cinema. I am glad that it is actually a fun and entertaining movie that is worth to watch in cinema. The story: It does pack a lot during the 132 minutes runtime. And it does feel slightly bloated. But it is still fun entertainment. The movie starts with a short action scene on Mars and moves on to John Carter on the human world. Then the next 20-25 minutes show John on Earth. So Sci-Fi will have to wait a while to see John on Mars. The story is simple to understand but the number of characters may confuse. It is sort of a chase movie. The action scenes while short are many...
