Review: "Tron Legacy Blu-Ray DVD review"

Tron Legacy is released on Blu-Ray and 3-D Blu-Ray and unfortunately I do not have a 3-D TV and player so I can't watch it in 3-D. The 2-D version is also quite good, with the picture clear and sharp. The epic music on the other hand isn't what I have heard in cinema. Maybe because the TV speakers are not loud enough. The good thing about this Blu-Ray set is that it comes with a 3-D Blu-Ray disc so I may view it in future.

Blu-Ray DVD special features- 3.3/5

Sadly, it is not really packed with special features. There are only four featurettes that are related to the movie. Launching the Legacy (10 minutes) is the pre-production the movie and the crew discussing how to upgrade the movie. Visuallising Tron (11 minutes) and Installing the cast (12 minutes) are like the making of the movie where behind the scenes and interviews are shown. Disc roars (3 minutes) shows that the cheering and booing for the game in the movie are actually from the fans of Tron. There is a preview (1 minute) of the animated series based on the movie. There is music video, Derezzled by Daft Punk (3 minutes) which is one of the less impressive music from the movie. The next day: Flynn Lives Revealed is a not so interesting video, I had actually no idea what is it about until I read the description of it. The weird thing is that it has no running time shown. There is 3-D advertisement (4 minutes) by Timon and Pumbaa. The 2-D advertisement shows some laughable 3-D gimmicks. This combo set is a good set with Blu-Ray and 3-D Blu-Ray.

Review: "Knight and Day DVD review"

Tom Cruise's latest action flick is generic but an entertaining ride. Cruise and Diaz go round the world in this action-packed movie. The action set pieces are not bad, the car chases are thrilling and fast. There are many explosions too with cars tumbling around. The decent pace adds to the entertainment value. Proves that Tom is still running around in action. He stars in the latest Mission Impossible movie.

DVD special features- 3/5

There are four featurettes (31 minutes in total) which are alright. There are the standard making of featurettes. One featurette shows Cruise and Diaz goofing around with a kick and soccer. Another featurette is about Cruise getting Black Eye Peas to sing the main theme for the movie. Not bad special features for a DVD. They also come with english subtitles.

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...
