Best and Worst of 2012

The end of the year has passed. 2012 has shown a lot of good movies and is a much better year than in 2011. Let's see if 2013 can top 2012 as 2013 will also see many blockbusters and sequels and other movies.

Best: 
1. The Avenger-It is a great superhero movie. It has great action and ,at the same time, an interesting story. You see superheroes learning to accept one another.

2. The Dark Knight Rises-The end is here and it ends with a bang. It features the best action ever seen in a Batman movie. It also has the moral story which is interesting to watch although it is a little too long.

3. Skyfall-Could be the best James Bond movie; rivaling Casino Royale. It does have great action and a thrilling story. How will the next James Bond movie beat it? Daniel Craig has the best James Bond movies.

Other notable movies are Dredd and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter in 3D, The Amazing Spider-Man. There are actually many good movies that is impossible to list all of them.

Worst:
1. The Watch-It is disappointingly bad. It features funny actors like Ben Stiller but it is not even slightly funny. How can that be? The gag jokes are not funny and they are just boring. The story also does not help. The aliens only appear in 2 scenes.

2. About Cherry-Yawn, it is a really boring movie with nothing accomplished except some nudity.

3. The house at the end of the street-It is not too bad a horror thriller but it is just plain and generic. The twist is nothing special. The thing that it is predictable.

2012 does not have a lot of bad movies. It is hard to find and list out a bad movie in 2012.

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...
