Review: "12 Monkeys TV review"

I did not watch the movie however you don't have to watch it to understand the TV series. There are probably references to the movie. Most of the 13 episodes are engaging and filled with twists and turns. As a time-travel story, it is somewhat understandable and as usual, it has some plot holes. Acting wise is alright, the usuals. The special effects, sets and music are decent.

Overall: It is worth a watch if you have the time. I am drawn to the tense storyline that has a clock ticking. It makes more curious about the movie and will probably watch it. It ends with the usual cliffhanger however, I hope it will end soon. How long can you continue with this storyline before it looses its steam?

Review: "Galavant TV review"

This is my first time watching a musical TV series (there aren't many musicals TV series). It is nott as bad as I thought it would. The brisk 8 episodes are a hoot to watch. The short runtime of each episode (23 minutes) means that nothing will be boring and is packed with songs. One downside is the reliance of pop culture jokes. At first, they are funny however they go downhill in the later episodes. The acting is fine however some characters' development could improved. Most of the songs sound good.

Overall: It is for a certain audience. One who enjoys musicals and does not mind some mindless entertainment. It is not deep or rousing but it does contain enough humour and songs to keep you entertained for half and hour.

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...

Best and Worst movies of 2011 2011 is over! It sees many good movies so it was kind of tricky to list the best 4 movies of 2011. It had been a good year for movies. Let's see if 2012 is any better. 1.Transformers: Dark of the Moon Rating: 4.5/5 It is one of the best 3D movie ever. It has cool action, great 3D and robots. It may be the final Transformers for Michael Bay. Only thing that can be improved is that rushed out ending. Other than that, it could be 2011 best action movie. 2.Sucker Punch Rating: 4.5/5 It is sad to see the critics slamming this movie. I find its presentation kind of cool and unique. The action is not bad too. Zack Synder really has a sense of cool visual which the movie a more interesting view. 3.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Rating: 4.5/5 The end is finally here. Although it is the most action-packed movie in the franchise, I can't help but feel a little disappointed with the climax. I wanted a longer and more epic battle between Harry and Voldemo...

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "Iron Man 2 DVD review" Well, for me, it is kind of disappointing. Seeing the lack of action and three short action scenes disappoints me as this movie has been reported to have a higher budget than the first one. Another thing disappointing is the pace. The pace in the first Iron Man movie is intense, it is filled with intense moments and quirky humour. This one's pace is slower with all the melodrama of Tony trying to live his "broken" life as he thinks he will soon die. And he starts being an ass, some drunk ass, and blah blah.... The story: The first third of the movie is not bad, still holding up some interesting moments like the villian, Ivan in a car race scene. The second third is where the story slows down, luckily it is bearable, when Tony behaves like an ass, drinking and dancing like some nut monkey. Then there is an action scene with Tony and his best friend in armour. The last third is the climax between Tony and Ivan which is...
