Review:  

When I read the synopsis not so long ago, I thought it would be one good movie. It has a good concept, great acts from Eric Bana to Cate Blanchett, and the story was quiet interesting. The story about revenge, espionage with CIA included is not a new concept in movie history. There are so many espionage movie involved CIA like James Bond series, Bourne Series, etc. But what makes it interesting to watch it, the espionage in this movie is a teenager, a girl teenager. She is not an ordinary girl but scary girl who had been trained by his father in a wood since she were kid. 
I think the story has a good script even it's not too detail for telling scene by scene. It's still ok and I can enjoy it from the beginning to the end. The focus is on this Hanna girl, she is beautiful, pretty, smart, calm teenager like everybody else, but she has  so much abilities inside of her. She had been taught by his father for fighting, archery, languages, and the important one is killing, killing without feeling sorry. The only point of well trained Hanna is to kill Marissa, the person who had been told by her father was her mother killer from CIA group. But inside of her, she just want to be normal like anybody else, lives a good life and doesn't want to kill but everything has been her fate and she can't deny it. And as you all can guess what will happen in the movie, the chasing is happened, and who's Hanna exactly will be revealed at the last scene with her father, it's all just cliche but still a good one. 
For the acting side, Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett is great as always. This movie doesn't show their true act but still a good one to see. They prove that they are senior actor/actress who can play anything in the movie. The only main actor for me of this movie is this Hanna girl who is played by  Saoirse Ronan. She is still young but so talented. I give her 'A' credit for this movie. I think her act were absolutely brilliant. She is perfect for this character. Sometimes she can be an usual teenager, but the other time she is a cold hearted killer. She played it really good, When i saw this movie, I felt that she can brought me to the movie, made me feel what she felt about. It's really a hard life to live normal. Overall, everybody shows a great performance in this movie. 
I don't think this movie counts on the effects because it doesn't have many effects like any other action movie has. Everything seems so real without any mark up effects. Joe Wright has directed a good movie here. He just want to prove to everyone, a story without any great effects is still good to watch if the script is done perfectly.  
Overall, this movie is ok, it's still recommended to watch it in a theater or even rent it in any video rentals. It's not a very wow movie, it's not big, it's cliche, It's not a new thing but It's still a good entertaining for everyone. This Saiorse Ronan is really an actress you have to watch. Again, she is young, brilliant, and talented. Just enjoy it. :D

Good points: 
-   The story is good, well scripted
-   Good concept
-   Well played by its actor/actress especially Saiorse Ronan, She is brilliant 

Bad points:
-   The story has so many cliche part for me
-    It's not too detail for telling scene by scene

Rating: 7.0/10.0

Review: 
Ok, this episode is amazing. The best episode of season 4 so far. I like the whole story line in this episode. It's surprising, and of course Godric appearance is one of the best part. The opening is really surprising when i think Tommy will be back to the arena because he was got caught by his parents. But everything changed when Tommy killed them. That scene is the first surprise for me. 
The next great scene for me and also quite surprises me is when Tommy turns into Crocodile at Sam's van when Eric the police forces Sam to open his van. The scene makes my heart beats so fast, I think it would be done when Eric discovered Tommy but yeah I can't imagine how he can turns into crocodile, it's just never occurred on my mind. Smart choice of a shifter. 
This episode is the first time I ever love to see cursed Eric. He is just so spoiled and cute at the scenes. When he's cursed, that shows his good side ever. Godric appearance surprised me for the third time because I always adore Godric character, so the scene is great for me. Godric has been a great vampire character for me in True Blood series. He is smart, calm and confidence vampire on this series. I hope he will also appear in the next episodes.
And here we welcomed a new character who is Jesus' Grandfather, a living shaman. I think it would be great since the witch, Marnie is quite lame. 
The only silly part of this episode is when reverend  Daniels and his new wife, Latie Mae, who is Tara's mom conducts a ghost cleaning ritual at Terry's house. It's just really ridiculous. When I saw that scene, I was just like huh??? What is this??? I think it's just a fun side among the serious scenes. Overall, it's the best episode of the season so far. Love it. :D

Good points: 

-   All the surprising scenes like Tommy killed his parents, turns into crocodile, Godric appearance, everything was great

Bad points:
-   The lame part when reverend Daniels and his wife conducted ghost cleaning ritual

Review: 

When I saw this movie's trailer few months ago, I thought it would be a great movie. It will be a great masterpiece in 2011. I liked the whole concept of the movie, it's beyond your imagination, it's in your fantasy, and it should be great. Unfortunately, it's far away from great. It's even far away from good. It's bad. I really felt disappointed after I watched it. Everything was so lame and bad, just bad. Let's peel it one by one. 
The story tells us about war between human and vampire that has been happened for a very long time. It's like a never ending war. Finally, the Church create a group of super power persons called Priest. It consists of six persons. At last, they think they have win and eliminated all the vampire. Unfortunately, the queen of the vampire is still alive and has turned one of the priest to be the king of the vampires. Few years later, human may lives in peace until the priest feel something is going wrong when one of his niece has been abducted by the vampires. The church leader doesn't believe in him, so he has to break his sacred vow in order to save his niece. with the help of is niece's boyfriend, and his other companion, they try to find the vampire's hive and kill all the vampires who abducted his niece. Finally, he finds out that he has to fight his long lost friend in order to save his niece. 
If you just read the story I has written above, you may say it good or maybe great. But it's really different than it should be. The script for me is really bad. The beginning of the movie is the "best" one, well you know it's best out of the worst and it becomes worst minute after minute till its ending. The concept is maybe great but the whole script has ruined the concept. It's totally falling to pieces. The story doesn't make any sense at all. It's a little spoiler here, the vampire's queen is no whereabout, she should be around and fight the priest, but she isn't. Another spoiler, when the priest's niece knows that she is actually the priest's daughter, she doesn't seem feel surprised at all. It's just ridiculous. The winning scene is even worse, how can a super enemy is beaten just like that??? Great concept, wrong script make it be one of  the worst movie of vampire kind.
For the acts, Paul Betanny is not as good as usual. The wrong dialogue makes it worse. Maggie Q who is a vampire hunter, also can't evoke her sexiness through the movie. She is just wrong to play this character. The one who also get the horrible role is Cam Gigandet, his sheriff character is awkward, his acts is lame and terrible, but for me he still has a sexy look and personality inside. But he is not that stunning as his role in Twilight. Stephen Moyer who is a cameo in this movie is also bad. He is really bad. He can't be compared with his role in True Blood. It's too far. Cam and Stephen who were famous vampire in their hits movies, just be a human in this movie, it really turns down their great act and sexiness. Maybe, they shouldn't be human form but vampire in order to defend their great performance. :D
The visual effect is good as this movie should be. I think they were too focus about the effect so they lost the script. Sorry to say, even I can call the effects good, it's not better than the similar movie. It's just the same. Nothing is new about the effects, it seems just like Matrix effects that maybe still good to see but old. Maybe I've watched too much fantasy movie, so if this one compares to the other, this flick effect is just ok and that's it.
Overall, this movie is the worst of the kind in 2011. for me, it's just wasting you money and time if you watch it at a theater. Does it entertain? Yes, maybe but not in theater. I suggest you better watch it at home if you really want to watch it. Just rent it at your nearest video rental, it's not worth it to buy it, except you are a collector or that Gigandet guy fans. :D

Good points: 
-   The visual effects maybe good to watch for some of you

Bad points:
-   The script is bad and the story isn't how it supposed to be
-   The great acts are given horrible roles and that makes this flick even worse 

Rating: 4.0/10.0

Review: 

The first time I see the poster of this movie, I know that it will be a hit in a theater. The poster is really eye catching. You will know it's a comedy movie from its colorful poster. Everybody who watched this movie told me to watch it also, they say it's really funny, that I should watch it and give the review through out the world. No I have watched it and I will review it for every movie lovers especially the comedy lovers. :D
The story tells us about a simple thing in our life. i bet we all ever felt about that in our childhood, maybe some of you who still be in high school or college, still feel about that simple thing. It's all about love and friendship. The story is quite in the flow, the plot develops very smart from the beginning to the end.  I may call it the story is just so so (in a word: generally), but all the comedy acts between the guys are superb. A little bit lame but crazy. I bet you all will laugh out loud through out the movie. They behave like they should be in a teenager love and friendship life. For all movie lovers who has passed through this phase of life, I bet you will feel a little Déjà vu when you see this movie. You must be ever lived in that phase of life when you deeply think about it. 
The acting here is quite good. They are still young but they really can make it feel like what it should be. Their comedic behaviors, faces, etc make the movie be a great comedy. They are lovely and cheerful. They act happily when they are in happy mood, sadly and anger when they are in any bad mood. Especially, Koong who is easy going and talk active person, and Ped who is shy and hide his feeling all the time. I bet some of you ever be Ped or Koong in your childhood. :D
The direction is good, it will give you back your childhood memories. Some places like school, home, station in the movie will evoke your feeling when you are still in their position. It doesn't need any great effect to make it work. It just need comedy flavors to make it a great comedy for the audiences. And it all works without any doubt, it's a perfect comedy for all of us to watch.  
Overall, this movie really gives us so many laughs. It doesn't have any surprises like drama or horror movie, but it still good. It's pure comedy without any adult things. They are just teenager who will do the teenager things. So the comedy here is really free to watch for all movie lovers. . I call it to as the one of the best horror in 2011 so far. It's just so real, thrilled, and chilled. It's a very light movie. Just enjoy it :D

Good points: 
-   Good comedy flavors, good laugh, it's very fun movie to watch
-   It will remind you all of your childhood memories :D 

Bad points:
-   Just an usual ordinary story about love and friendship

Review: 

At first, I haven't seen the trailer yet, I just saw the poster at the theater and since I like horror movie, I'll definitely want to see it, especially coupled with the director name on the poster who read 'James Wan'. We'll talk about him later because he is worth it to talk about. I don't have any high expectation about this movie except its director. I imagined that this movie will look like Exorcist and the gang. But it turns out really different, and it's recommended to all the horror lovers. Believe me, you gonna love it. Let's peel it one by one. 
The story tells us about a simple thing that may happens in our life. I have heard many times about this kind of event. It's definitely not about possessed or exorcist or the other ghost. It tells about a boy who can move out of his astral body. It's a situation when you are sleeping, you can move out of your body and see your body's sleeping in your bed. It's just like a dream but it's different. It' real, you can move out of your body and maybe you will never come back again and that's what happens to the Josh boy. It's all about looking for that's boy soul so that he comes back to his astral body before other soul take his body over. The story is decent for all the horror lovers to watch even some scenes are added to the movie just for increasing the thrilled and horror feeling to the audience. Still, it's recommended. 
The acting here is not that good. The main actors act like in a drama movie, they can't evoke the thrilled in the movie. For me, they were just boring and a bit lame in a whole movie. Especially the ghost buster guys that looks like two actors in a very cheap movie. They act like playing comedy flick, and that's the worst part.
Now, as a promise, I will talk about the director, James Wan. He is still young and really talented. I like all his masterpiece works like Saw, Dead Silence, etc. He is the proper director to direct thriller ad horror movie. He can create the scenes which will be the great twists in the movie. He can create the horror atmosphere through out the whole movie from the beginning to the end and that's great and perfect. All I gotta say is this James never disappoint me at all. He is great and I can't wait for his next movie. 
Last one is for the effects, I don't talk about the great visual effects like you all see in science or fantasy movies. It's all about the cinematography. I bet you will surprised and jump out of your chair at some scenes of the movie. It's just unbelievable surprise through out the movie. The ghosts thing there are look like real and scary. All angles and scenes are looked so perfect and great. It's fabulous, you will like watching a classic horror movie, a great one indeed. And also it's supported by a great sound effects, It's really chilling from the beginning to the ending. It has so many surprises and if you are still human, you will at least feel surprised and scream out loud. :D 
Overall, this movie really gives us a real horror in this 2011. I call it to as the one of the best horror in 2011 so far. It's just so real, thrilled, and chilled. So many surprises among the scenes are the best parts of this movie. Believe me, some of you will sleep with lights turn on at night, and still remember the scary ghosts in the movie. Yeah, It's high recommended movie. :D

Good points: 
-   The cinematography and sound effects are perfect. It will chill you to the end
-   Some surprises are really scary and hardly bites, prepare to scream :D 

Bad points:
-   The acts are below the standard

Review: 
Cursed Eric's crazy acts are going on and on and on and on. I don't like his crazy and dumb behavior at this season, but Alexander is really a great actor. Ok, I don't want to talk more about him now. Let's move to the Alcide guy. I think he is the greatest werewolf at True Blood. I like his appearance at this movie. He is just good and saves the werewolf from the worst situation. I hope the love line between Sookie and him will continue to the next level since Bill is really boring. 
The great scene at this episode belongs to Jason and the Werepanther family (again). They entertain me the most at this season so far. It's so thrilled when Jason was chased by Felton, and finally killed Felton in a bad way. Will Jason turn into Panther, I can't wait to see his changes at the full moon. 
The witch part tonight is boring. I don't like it because it's just usual story and too much talking without any great acts. The way Pam is cursed by Marnie is also ridiculous just like her curse to Pam.  Other scenes tonight also the same boring as the witch did. Nothing special, just ok. The Tommy boy part is quiet surprising at the end. Just enjoy it, overall, it's as good as last week. :D

Good points: 

-   Jason killed Felton (must watch)

Bad points:
-   The witch part is boring for me

Rating: 8.0/10.0

Written by Official Site  

Review: 
When I saw this movie's trailer, I really had high expectation on this since I really like thriller kind of movie like Scream, Saw, etc. This kind of movie always surprises me at the end with its twist. and it's worth watching for me. I haven't watched a really good Thai thriller yet but this one is challenging. Let me review it part by part. :)

The story tells us about a serial killer who always murders his victims and slices it to pieces then outs it in the red luggage, big one. This homicides captures national attentions when the son of a politician also be the victim. The police who responsible with this homicides comes to dead-end. He has to find a way to solve this case in 15 days before he gets punished. He asked Tai, a prisoner who may have a clue about this Serial Killer. This case may connects to Tai's past. And finally at the last part of the movie, he discovers the biggest surprise ever for himself about who is the serial killer and what's his motive exactly. The story goes along so well. It may be a bit confusing because sometimes the story goes to the past and then to the present time, it happens a lot , maybe a whole part of this movie. The plot gradually peels the killer’s monster identity to reveal an abused child whose childhood has been permanently scarred by bullies, beating, and sexual abuses. His first murder was an act of self-protection, and what he has gone through makes us understand why he seeks an all-out revenge on those who has taken his childhood away. Tai, the closest friend of the killer, also gets a multidimensional treatment, as his own scarred childhood and insecurity sometimes sabotage the relationship. The plot keeps the audience alerted and thrilled as Tai chases the killer and confronts the past. And the climax scene adds a real great shocking twist to the already fascinating storyline.
The scenery is really beautiful, I don't know where the scenes takes place, nut the scenery at their childhood village is beautiful. A mountain with many reeds and grasses. In the dark, it seems a bit scary but still it's beautiful in the morning. 
For the acting, I will give my credit to almost all the actors. They are really good at acting and plays their own character. Especially, that two kids who play Tai and Nut (at their childhood time) are really amazing. They are young but their talents are incredible. They really put their efforts into their character. They built it really well so that the audiences may feel the rage, the sadness between those kids. You must feel thrilled and sad along the movie. Arak Amornsupasiri who plays adult Tai and his wife Noi also are incredible actor/actress. They all make me feel really into that way when I am in their position. At the last scene of the movie, you will witness a scene that make you can't choose either of the options, just like the actor/actress did. 
The weakness of this movie for me is its time turns too fast, it doesn't show you the part what are Tai and Nut did before Nut was a serial killer and Tai was in a prison, also had a relationship with Noi, after their all childhood things. How and why they all change after that childhood time. I hope the story was not fast-forward to adulthood too quickly at the end. 
Overall, this movie really doesn't need much effects to make it perfect. The story and the acting itself give it all to make it incredible and awesome. It proves that Kongkiat Khomsiri is a great director, great story maker. This movie is masterpiece, beautifully done by him and his actor/actress. Well done and can't wait for his next movies. The inside I can take is children need to be taken care really well, they really need love. Because if it's not, well, it may grow up to be a serial killer. For you all who is the thriller fans, you've got to catch this one. It's just like saw movies packed in real great story. :D

Good points: 
-   The story is great, the plot develops really well
-   The actors who play kid Tai and kid Nut are incredibly awesome. 
-   The scenery, the mountain is beautiful

Bad points:
-   It is felt like the story was turned from childhood to adulthood too quickly at the end

Review: 
This episode is much better than the first two episodes. The plot is really good. You can see how the story goes along with a better script and case. The case doesn't seem contrived. It moves along with a proper time. I can't say it's the best case of Detective Conan I've ever seen, but this one is definitely the best case of the season so far.  Shinichi and Eri character are great at this episode. They don't seem plain and lame, but the most disappointed characters here are Kogoro and Ran. Kogoro seems a bit overact and Ran in Dorama isn't as strong as Ran in Anime, she is lack of power and charm inside. 
The other big question is (this may contains spoiler) I wonder how the murderer shoot the suspect without any noise and exact focus to the suspect forehead with just a lipstick case??? It doesn't make any sense here. It will be perfect when they think of any other better weapon. I just don't like this part. But anyway, it's just a short duration, I can't hope more than this, so I consider it's good. Just enjoy it guys. :D

Good points: 

-   The best case of this dorama so far

Bad points:
-   I doesn't make any sense how the murderer kills the suspect 
-   Kogoro and Ran characters are lack of acting power 

Rating: 6.0/10.0
