Review: "Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End DVD review"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The third installment for the Pirates of the Carribean franchise. There is even a forth movie coming. I wouldn't blame them as the movies were big money grabbers. As usual, this contains huge fantasy sets, especially the last battle scene. The pace moves reasonably for a movie with a runtime of almost 3 hours. Han Zimmer's music is epic too.
DVD special features-Rating: 2/5
This one disc edition only contains bloopers (5 minutes) which is at least worth to watch and some previews (3 minutes). Other than those, nothing else. All the featurettes are packed into the special edition.

Review: "The lovely bones DVD review"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Peter Jackson returns with a fantasy drama. And it receives negative reviews from both critics and audience. This usually happen for a movie based on a book. For me, it is rather okay for me, I didn't read the book. Critics say that this relies more on special effects than the story. The story is rather simple. Emotions are focused in this. With people....showing emotions...Mark Walberg is a father who finds out her daughter's killer. All the emotional stuff happen.
DVD special features-Rating: 0/5
Nothing. Not even trailers. The almost 3 hours bonus features are on Blu-Ray DVD. Not fair.

Review: "Superhero movie DVD review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This spoof obviously spoofs superhero flicks. Basically, it spoofs Spider-man. It is one of the better spoof movie. Some of the jokes are lame like the farting jokes but there are some which is kind of funny. Overall, it has its hit and miss. Some jokes work but some do not. Now, the spoof movies seem to cease...who know when the next will come. But I wouldn't mind a second Superhero movie.

None again. The quality of the video seems be a little darkened. Not the best nor the worst quality. It is somehow disappointing. And it is also cut. My god, cut version. Not good.

Review: "The Wolfman Extended Cut DVD review"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have seen The Wolfman in cinema and now on DVD. The Extended Cut adds another 17 minutes into the movie. It does not really add any gore but it does add in background information. Those who says that the cinema version is disjointed and does not have much character development, the extended cut may please. Most of the added 17 minutes are in beginning of the movie which means the wolfman transformation is pushed back. Those eager to see the wolfman transformation may just want to stick to the cinema version. For me, the Extended Cut is just worth seeing once. I would stick to the cinema version. The extended cut includes notable footage of Lawence being asked for help to find out what has happened to his brother.
DVD special features-Rating: 2/5
It only contains deleted/extended scenes (11 minutes) and previews (5 minutes). The deleted/extended scenes are worth a watch. It seems that those are just to dispose of and not being added to the extended cut. They offer nothing much just some extended action scenes which are really extended and background story of the servant. As usual, the featurettes are on Blu-Ray 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: 3.7/5 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 ...
