Review: "Crow Zero DVD review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Halloween 2007 is a remake of the original. I have not watched the original but I will watch it. Anyway, this movie is a remake and a prequel to the original so no harm not watching the original before this. It is entertaining to see how the killer, Michael became a cold-blooded killer. Yes, there is violence and blood and sex and nudity and language. But it does not really have the one thing that most slasher movies try to have and that is the suspense. Though there is not much suspense, it has thrills.
DVD special features-Rating: 3/5
It has trailers including its own trailer for the movie and for The Mist (2 minutes). The DVD also includes interviews (25 minutes) and behind the scenes (18 minutes). The interviews are not bad as it is interesting to hear the cast and crew's views on the movie. The behind the scenes' editing is quite choppy. After one scene ends, there is a sudden blackout before moving to the next scene. It is basically straight behind the scenes with no interviews in between. Though the extras are not put well, I should be thankful as it at least contains extras.

Crow Zero is based on the popular comic book/manga. Its action is not bad but do not expect it to be martial arts' fights. The fighting scenes are like ugly brawling of gangs only they seem to have super strenght. The story seems rather simple. Obviously, the best fight scene is the climax of the movie where two gangs clash together. Crow Zero 2 is also on DVD but that will have to wait.
DVD special features-Rating: 2/5
It only includes an interview (12 minutes) and its trailer (2 minutes). The interview is interesting as the cast get some absurd questions and do their best to answer them. The only thing bad is that the english subtitles are somehow gone in between the interview and come back toward the end of it. Can't it at least have a simple behind the scenes?

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: 3.7/5 Review: "Terminator Salvation DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is not bad. It is not the worst terminator movie, I actually thought Terminator 1 is just okay. Terminator 2 and 3 are quite entertaining followed by also entertaining Salvation. MCG, the director of Charlies' Angels, takes the directing seat and turned terminator into a dark and gritty world. As what he said, he did not want the future to be a shiny world but a dark and gritty world. He is considered to have done a great job in that and creating the realistic and cool action. But his story pretty much stays the same as his other movies, a simple mindless thrill ride. The story: The future is here and the year is 2018...John Conner is a daring man who will be willing to save people from Skynet, a evil organisation which creates Terminators. A mysterious man who is supposed to be dead suddenly finds himself in the year of...

Quick DVD reviews Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Batman: Gotham Knight DVD review" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2D animated movie has six different stories which are interesting on their own. The stories are fast-paced and some of them are action-packed due to the short runtime. The whole movie is only 1 hour and 16 minutes. Some of the famous villians are featured like Scarecrow and the Lizard. The six different stories also have their different styles, Batman seems like a fat monster in one of the story and he is a sleak man in black in another. Overall: It is a good watch even for those who are not a Batman fan but are into the recent live-action Batman movies. DVD special features-3.7/5 The second disc features two good and informative featurettes. One is about the villans of Batman (36 minutes). The writers and producers explain some of the famous villians like Joker and Scarecrow. The interesting facts are that they even ...
