Review: "Kung Fu Cyborg: Metallic attraction DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning: This is not action-packed either does it contain amazing action like Transformers. Named as the chinese's Transformers, it is obviously no match for Michael Bay's Transformers. Transfomers has a massive budget of US$150 million and Kung Fu Cyborg only has a budget of around US$14 million. There is a big difference. In Transformers, you get to see realistic CGI robots. In this, you get to see cheap CGI robots. Even its story, this is not match for Transfomers. Transformers has a fun story line with some humerous jokes and is action-packed. This is a slow romance story with robots as its sub plot. So don't expect this to be as explosive as Transfomers.
The story: It is a slow-paced romance story with love and love...yawn. If you cant sit still for at least half an hour, you will be rewarded and get to see cheap-ass CGI robots fighting. They have to make use of the title, Kung Fu. There are three main action scenes, first not very good and the second is okay-robots are fighting. The third is the last battle between good and evil which is just okay and not very outstanding. La-la-la...love is everywhere...why does this have to be romance. Can't it be a comedy? At least, i will get a bit amused. Yeah, this does contain some slap-your-ass jokes but I am not even amused. Put in more effort!
Overall: Yep, it is not so bad but it is disappointing and a little boring. At least, the chinese tried to make a robot movie on their own. The best part of this is the action scenes. Other than that, you skip it. I did not quite enjoy it but at least, I was the slight entertained. Korea is coming up its robot movie too. Awesome!

DVD special features-Rating: 2.9/5
The Hong Kong DVD edition features a making of (30 minutes) and trailers. The making of is entertaining, it makes the movie seems like an action movie. Nice to see some goofing around and some deleted scenes which I have not seen in the movie. Trailers include its trailer and two other previews (3 minutes). So sad that they are not equipped with english subtitles.

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: 4.3/5 Review: "American Made film review" "An entertaining and fun well-made film boosted by great direction and acting." Doug Liman and Tom Cruise paired up together again for a fast-paced and colorful biography on Barry Seal. American Made may not have the blockbuster action but it holds up on its own firmly with the help of a great direction by Doug. Tom Cruise is definitely the main highlight of the film and he is what made it so entertaining. The story: The pace is brisk; it takes the audience on a crazy ride from the start and never slows down. Though it never felt boring, sometimes I felt that it could have slowed down for some development. After the film ended, it seems that Doug and Tom had a clear mind on just keeping the audience as entertained as they can be. It cuts to the chase and never dwells on anything such as emotions. It moves quickly from event to event. Advantage is that I was not bored at all. Disadvantage is that it felt li...

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...
