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: 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: 4.3/5 Review: "American Made film review" "An entertaining and fun well-made film boosted by great direction and acting." Doug Liman and Tom Cruise paired up together again for a fast-paced and colorful biography on Barry Seal. American Made may not have the blockbuster action but it holds up on its own firmly with the help of a great direction by Doug. Tom Cruise is definitely the main highlight of the film and he is what made it so entertaining. The story: The pace is brisk; it takes the audience on a crazy ride from the start and never slows down. Though it never felt boring, sometimes I felt that it could have slowed down for some development. After the film ended, it seems that Doug and Tom had a clear mind on just keeping the audience as entertained as they can be. It cuts to the chase and never dwells on anything such as emotions. It moves quickly from event to event. Advantage is that I was not bored at all. Disadvantage is that it felt li...
