Review: "The Twilight Saga: Breaking dawn part 2"

Finally the final part has arrived in cinema. And like the final Harry Potter movie, this is full-blown compared to the other movies in the franchise. The pace in this is a lot faster than the other Twilight movies and it has a thrilling climax. The final movie is probably a sad thing for the fans who wish to see more Edward and Jacob but the franchise has to come to a closure. It can't be running for a long time.

The story: After some neat credit, the movie starts straight after Bella is revived. There are no recap scenes although they are not necessary. For the first 10 minutes, we see Bella struggling and testing with her powers and thirst for blood. Her daughter, Renesmee, grows up and finally the Volturi knows about it. They plan to go after Renesmee due to some rules. The Cullen family knows about it and calls up witnesses to show that Renesmee is not a threat. It leads to the thrilling showdown between them and the Volturi. And it is brutal; there are a lot of beheading which definitely shows that this is the most violent movie in the Twilight franchise and even for a PG-13 movie. If there is blood added, I think it will shoot to a NC-16 rating. Music wise is good. It is more noticeable and the tone of it has changed into a more epic tone.

Overall: It is an okay movie but it is good for a Twilight movie. Its pace has been improved which makes a lot of difference in a Twilight movie. The franchise has started out quietly and ended with a bang. With this being off the franchise list, companies are scrambling to find the next big franchises. Next year sees many movies being adapted from teenage novels.

Rating: 4.5/5 Review: "Man of Steel movie review" With all the hype from the trailers, I must say this is what it looks to be expected. I have to say that this is the biggest and epic superhero movie yet. This treats destructions like child's play. It is also the most explosive superhero movie. There are so much explosions that they could literally make you exhausted from watching all those. Although this is directed by Zack Snyder, this does not have much of his trademark except the visuals. His slo-mo trademark is not featured. Instead, the action is rapid fast. Man of Steel is a good entertainment with exciting action scenes and visuals but at the same, a somehow touching human drama. The story: We get an extended opening scene on Krypton where Kal-El is just born. However the planet is going to be destroyed with General Zod adding to the problem. To save Kal-El, he has to be sent to another planet known as Earth. What is interesting about the movie that it do...

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: "The Exchange" (90 minutes) "A decent fast-paced Thai heist thriller that is marred by weak action choreography and shoddy editing"  It's a low-key movie. You can hardly find information about this online when you type in its English title. Perhaps you will have better luck finding information in Thai. My curiosity piqued when I couldn't find any English review on it. Should I take the risk in watching an unknown movie? I finally decided that it wouldn't hurt buying a cheap ticket (US$2.50) to experience it. I actually enjoyed the movie but not the experience. Sure the movie has its own flaws but it is not as distracting as the badly dubbed Khmer language. The dub is emotionless and does not fit the tone of the characters. I know Thai and Khmer are two different languages but I couldn't help by being distracted with the bad lip sync throughout the whole movie. On the other hand, the movie is fast-paced enough to hol...
