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: 3.7/5 Review: "The Green Hornet movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is not a bad movie to start on January, a month which okay movie are out. The Green Hornet is a special hero with cool gadgets and cars but the movie turns him into a generic superhero. It is entertaining at best but if you look for a complex plot with a lot of characters' development, this will not sastify. Reid aka The Green Hornet at first in the movie acts like an asshole and making out with girls. Then his father's death hit him hard, but not hard enough. He meets kato and they become The Green Hornet and Kato fighting the bad guys as bad guys. The action scenes are many and loud with explosions. The fight scenes are often played in slow motion. The climax features a cool car chase, a gun fight and a fight in the office. Boom! The climax is loud and explosive and even tearing down the whole office. And it is cool. Who doesn...

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 ...
