Review: "My Bloody Valentine 3D DVD review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Final Destination DVD is awesome. It includes both the 2D and 3D versions. 2D should not be a problem to watch. The 3D is quite cool. It is better than the old 3D movies like Spy Kid 3D. Though it is DVD, the 3D effects stand out. It does really give me a sense of 3D in the movie. It is like the characters stand out from the background. It is quite cool.
DVD special features-Rating: 3/5
Having both 2D and 3D versions is good enough. There are some 3D movies that don't get the same treatment, they are 3D in cinema but on DVD, they are not. There are previews (7 minutes) of movies like WhiteOut, Halo Legends and advertisements. There are also deleted scenes (7 minutes). The deleted scenes are not bad, some of them show more bloody deaths and some show more talking. The best thing is that the scenes are completed, not a rough reel. Overall, a good DVD for collection.
My Bloody Valentine 3D is also quite good. I think the 3D effects are better than The Final Destination. It really gives me a sense of 3D, the characters really stand out from the background. Though the good 3D, it is a bit long, runtime of 1 hour and 41 minutes. Luckily The Final Destination is only 1 hour and 22 minutes so I get the fun of wearing the 3D glasses and see the special effects. My Bloody Valentine means you need to wear the glasses long which may be a little uncomfortable. But overall, it is still good for a 3D movie on DVD.
DVD special features-Rating: 2/5
It also has both the 2D and 3D versions which is awesome. But the real special features are meagre. The one-disc edition only contains a commentary by the director which I don't bother to listen and previews of movies such as crank 2 and some straight-to-DVD movies. It also contains the trailer of My Bloody Valentine (2 minutes). If you want special features, get the 2-disc edition.

Rating: 4.5/5 Review: "Man of Steel movie review" With all the hype from the trailers, I must say this is what it looks to be expected. I have to say that this is the biggest and epic superhero movie yet. This treats destructions like child's play. It is also the most explosive superhero movie. There are so much explosions that they could literally make you exhausted from watching all those. Although this is directed by Zack Snyder, this does not have much of his trademark except the visuals. His slo-mo trademark is not featured. Instead, the action is rapid fast. Man of Steel is a good entertainment with exciting action scenes and visuals but at the same, a somehow touching human drama. The story: We get an extended opening scene on Krypton where Kal-El is just born. However the planet is going to be destroyed with General Zod adding to the problem. To save Kal-El, he has to be sent to another planet known as Earth. What is interesting about the movie that it do...

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: 3.5/5 Review: "The Exchange" (90 minutes) "A decent fast-paced Thai heist thriller that is marred by weak action choreography and shoddy editing"  It's a low-key movie. You can hardly find information about this online when you type in its English title. Perhaps you will have better luck finding information in Thai. My curiosity piqued when I couldn't find any English review on it. Should I take the risk in watching an unknown movie? I finally decided that it wouldn't hurt buying a cheap ticket (US$2.50) to experience it. I actually enjoyed the movie but not the experience. Sure the movie has its own flaws but it is not as distracting as the badly dubbed Khmer language. The dub is emotionless and does not fit the tone of the characters. I know Thai and Khmer are two different languages but I couldn't help by being distracted with the bad lip sync throughout the whole movie. On the other hand, the movie is fast-paced enough to hol...
