Review: "Transporter 2 DVD review"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is fast-paced with some cool action scenes.
DVD special features-3.4/5
It has long deleted and extended scenes (20 minutes) which show some background information, small details and more action. It is worth a watch. The making of (4 minutes) is a short one with the usual interviews and behind the scenes. Nothing special and it is short for any interesting information. Surprisingly, the featurette on the music (10 minutes) is longer than the making of. I have no idea what the eng dub version is talking about. The over-lapping of the english dub on the original french version is horrible. It does not follow the mouths. Lastly, there are previews (3 minutes), one is on Night Watch.

Review: "Universial Soldiers Regeneration DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is a decent straight-to-DVD movie. I have not watched the other movies but I can roughly understand the story. The Universial Soldiers are like cyborgs. They cannot feel anything and only follow orders by their owners. And they will do whatever way to complete their missions. What happens when two Universial Soldiers fight each other? The fight scenes are brutal and the action is decent which make the movie decent. As this is just a non-stop action movie.

The hell with this DVD. The USA has special features but the local DVD does not. It does not even include previews of other movies.

Review: "The Box DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Box has an interesting plot. A couple receive a box from a mysterious man. Once the button on the box is pushed, two things happen. Some one in the world they don't know will die. Second, they will receive a million dollars. There are some meanings behind this like the greed of humans. There are some mild twists. The movie is intense at times and sometimes, it turns to the weird direction where nothing make sense. But the plot engages me with its twists and turns.

Again, no special features. The distributor, Scorpio East sucks. It does not even bother to have trailers included in bare-bones DVDs. It also distributes the bare-bones Universial Soldiers DVD. How disappointing.

Review: "Law Abiding Citizen DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is intense and has suspense but when it comes to the ending, it is disappointing. The ending is the bad part of the movie. The ending is so common, it is nothing special and that is why it is disappointing. The acting is convincing. The characters are a bit wack but in the end, they got what they derserve.

Nothing. Nothing and Nothing. Crap DVD.

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: "G-Force movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is not all that bad, at least it tries its to be an enjoyable family movie flick. But as usual, Disney movies now are getting haters around the world due to its popular teens and live-action animals-talking movies. So now, when they see a live-action Disney movie whether it has teenagers singing or animals yapping away, they would be put off immediately. Whatever it is, G-force is fun with 3-D. Kids would like the cute animals coming near them. The story: G-Force has a simple story which is also not creative. But that it is not what kids want, they would want to see action blazing through their ways. As this being a Jerry Bruckheimer production, you can expect at least a car chase and some explosion but only more mild. Trevor Rabin did a good work in creating epic music. Though a kid movie, expect some rude humour but also at the same ti...

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "John Carter movie review" Unfortunately, I didn't catch it in 3D. I wasn't sure of how the post-conversion would turn out. Back to the movie. To tell the truth, before John Carter opened, I was not sure if I should give the movie a try. The posters are boring and uninspired and trailers are not really exciting. It was only the week that it opened that I decided to catch it in cinema. I am glad that it is actually a fun and entertaining movie that is worth to watch in cinema. The story: It does pack a lot during the 132 minutes runtime. And it does feel slightly bloated. But it is still fun entertainment. The movie starts with a short action scene on Mars and moves on to John Carter on the human world. Then the next 20-25 minutes show John on Earth. So Sci-Fi will have to wait a while to see John on Mars. The story is simple to understand but the number of characters may confuse. It is sort of a chase movie. The action scenes while short are many...
