Review: "Sucker Punch Blu-Ray review"

It is quite an enjoyable ride. I have no idea why it recieved poor reviews; 23% on rotton tomatoes and it didn't fare well with audience too with a rating of 6.2 on IMDB. And then it didn't do that well in Box Office, it got US$89 million. That's not good with a budget of US$82 million. Anyway, although there are many bad reviews, they didn't stop me from enjoying this fun romp. The story presentation is cool with idea dealing with the mind. It is like a movie that you have to pay attention in order to realise what's going on. Like Incpetion. Action scenes are cool too. With lots of fantasy in these scenes, it is kind of rare to see an action movie not being realistic.

Blu-Ray features-3.4/5

Sadly, the only making of is the Maximum mode which means I had to watch the movie just for the making of. Not very enjoyable as I had to sit down for two hours and watch the movie plus at the same time, see how they make the movie. I have no idea why Warner Bros. is pushing up this idea. The Green Lantern Blu-Ray also gets this treatment. There is no option of playing the featurettes seperately. Throughout the feature, you can access to picture galleries and storyboards. Zack, the director, plays the host as he explains how he makes the movies. There is a music featurette (2 minutes) which is so damn brief that it is almost nothing. It is just a promotional featurette with the music composer discussing briefly about the music. And then lastly, a series of motion comic (11 minutes) which is not too bad. They provide background knowledge about the movie. Overall: Not a bad Blu-Ray but would prefer the Maximum mode to be played seperate.

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...

Rating: 3.7/5 Review: "Fantastic Four movie review" "A decent gritty reboot that could have been something more than what it is now." This is Josh Trank's first big budget movie and it seems he is slightly inexperienced of directing a movie of a massive scale. Fresh from directing a small budget movie, Chronicle, it seems that he is overwhelmed by whatever happened (there are rumours that Matthew Vaughn was brought in to reshoot). Nonetheless, on the whole, the reboot is an alright movie that rehashes on the tired superhero origin. It is disappointing that it is a little shallow. I think with a longer runtime, it could benefit the characters' development and flow of the story. The story: Apparently, the writers of the film said that it does not follow any story from the source material. Instead, a new origin is created. I didn't exactly know how the original source material goes (I read a couple of Fantastic Four comic books to know the tone ...
