Review: "Predators DVD review"

This is the 2010 version of the classic, Predator. This is the first Predator movie I have watched, Aliens VS Predator not counted. The movie starts immediately when Adrien's character realises he is dropping down in mid-air to ground. As soon as he smacked on the ground, the big and bold title Predators appears. With other mysterious characters appearing and finding themselves on a different planet, Adrien's character must try and work together to escape from the Predators' traps. During the first watch, it is kind of intense as there is the suspense of what happens next. When will those vicious Predators appear? It is not a bad action adventure thriller movie. Only thing I don't understand is why is there a rock song during the credit, it totally spoils the mood of the movie.

DVD special features- 2/5

There is a making of (10 minutes) which briefly covers the important points of the movie like setting the location, filming the stunts etc. It is not too bad as it covers some points of the movie but I wish that it is longer. Unfortunately, the rest of the making is on Blu-Ray. There is a useless motion comic (2 minutes) which tells a background story. To be honest, I am not interested. There is a commentary which obviously I won't listen to. The dvd should have deleted scenes.

Review: "Kamen Rider: Movie War Core DVD review"

I was disappointed with the action scenes in this. Yes, the action scenes are usually packed with CGI but the fighting scenes are the usual Kamen Rider's fight. The previous movie has better fighting chereography. It has wire-work. But in this, it is back to the almost no wire-work fight scenes. But the climax is more interesting as it is filled with CGI effects when the monster Kamen Rider Core appears and two Kamen Rider, W and OOO battle against it. The story is nothing much but it is splitted into three parts. First story is about how Kamen Rider Skull forms. Second is about OOO and the birth of Kamen Rider Birth. The third act is the climax. The three stories act like three episodes from the series combined to become a movie. The titles appear in the three parts. Action could have been better and story could be more engaging. I am actually tired of seeing three different parts form one movie. I prefer seeing a full lenght movie with one Kamen Rider. Other Kamen Riders can act as cameros.

DVD special features- 0/5

Barebones. The movie seems to be cut. It is only 1 and an half hour long when it is supposed to be 1 hour and 40 minutes long. Other than that, english subtitles is alright. There are some mistakes in it but it is still understandable.

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...
