Review: "Ben 10 Alien Swarm DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007 saw Ben 10's first live action movie, Race against Time, which was enjoyable. Though enjoyable, it also has its weak points. One has a low budget so the special effects is not that good but still interesting to see. Acting by the kids is not especially good and if you think the adults in that can do any better, you are wrong. Grandpa Max looks like he is on drug. Then 2009 saw its sequel, Alien Swarm. This is so much better than the first one. Special effects look realistic and even acting is so much better although not great.
The story: It is pretty much simple. It sees three major action scenes including three aliens and a car chase scenes. They are good to see but yeah, for its budget, are short. But still overall, they are interesting to see. Yep, nothing much to say about the story. It is just like an average action movie plot that is simple for kids to understand. The music is somehow disappointing considering that the guy behind the music also scored Punisher War Zone.
Overall: It is worth the watch. This is more darker than the first. There are also improvements. I hope there will be another movie.

DVD special features-Rating: 2/5
It is disappointing that the DVD only comes with a short behind the scenes (2 minutes) and a music video (3 minutes). There is nothing much in the behind the scenes just some short interviews with the cast and crew and short sniplets of behind the scenes. The music video is awesome though.

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 ...
