Review: "I am number four Blu-Ray DVD review"

Nothing much to say here as I have already wrote a review since its cinema release. It is not bad to own it on Blu-Ray. The picture is sharp and the colours are vibrant. This combo set includes a standard DVD. I have compared both of them and the Blu-Ray is far more vibrant than the dull DVD which the colors seem to be washed out.

Blu-Ray special features- 3/5

There are deleted scenes (19 minutes) which are kind of useless in the movie but they do bring out the extra information for some of the characters. Each deleted scene is introduced by the director explaining why the scene got deleted. I find there are not many deleted scenes and the running time of each of them is short. But it is the director's introduction that makes the whole feature long running 19 minutes. There is only a single making of (12 minutes) and it is not for the movie. It is only focused on the making of number six. Standard making of includes behind the scenes and interviews. It would be nice to have another making of for the movie. The last feature is a gag reel (3 minutes) which involves actors and actresses laughing and goofing around. Lastly, two trailers for Reel Steel and Pirates of the carribean 4 round up.

Raing: 3.5/5

Review: "Harry Potter and the goblet of fire DVD review"


Clocking at 2 hours and 37 minutes, the movie paces around decently with not much boring parts. The start of the movie already see the trio seeing a match and soon an attack by Voldemort. The movie other than dealing with the grand matches between the fittest also deals with teen romance. There is also arguing between the trio about love and jealousy. The action scenes including an intense climax during matches are fine.

DVD special features- 3.4/5

The second disc is filled with special features and lame games. The disc is splited into four sections like the three matches and the things related to them and the forth section is about the general features. The three special sections include games like running away from the dragon; lame stuffs which I can't even control. Te main features, first the Dragon Arena: There is a making of the dragon and how Harry escapes from it (6 minutes). There is another making of that introduces three other characters who are new to the movie (11 minutes). Up next is the Lake where there is a single making of (9 minutes) which shows the making of the lake scene and Daniel training to swim underwater. The maze includes two making of. One is the making of the maze and the intense climax (5 minutes). The other one is the making of Voldemort (9 minutes) which shows Ralph describing how scary he wants to play.

Move on to the general features. There are additional scenes (10 minutes) which are boring. There is one that is played like a music video. Conversation with the cast (30 minutes) is surprisingly long where the trio get interviewed and some lucky winners get to interview them too. Preparing for the yule ball (9 minutes) is about the making of the ball where actors and actresses prepare dancing. Lastly, there is the reflections on the fourth film (14 minutes) where the cast talking about fun stuff like how they play their roles. Lots of features in the second disc but I could finish it in a short time unlike others. Hint: Though there are a lot of features, each of the running time is considered short.

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...
