Review: "Green Lantern extended cut Blu-ray review"

The extended cut is about 9 minutes more than the cinema version. 9 minutes may seem a lot of footage but actually, most of the new footage is about the Hal's childhood. That's it. It shows how Hal saw his father died in a plane crash. Other that, the movie is still okay. Fortunately, the 9 minutes do not drag the pacing of the whole movie.

Blu-ray special features- 3.5/5

There is the main meat which is the maximum mode viewing which can be played seperately as focus points (47 minutes). They cover up basic stuff such as special effects and making of the costume and stunts etc. There is a featurette about Green Lantern's origins (20 minutes) which is interesting as I do not know a lot about Green Lantern. There is another featurette about Ryan discussing his role as Hal Jordan (6 minutes). There are deleted scenes (5 minutes) which are not particularly interesting. Special effects are rough. There is a digital comic book about the new Justic League issue 1 (9 minutes). It moves to every panel of the page slowly but the words are a bit small for me. Lastly, there is a preview of the upcoming Green lantern animated series (6 minutes) which does not interest me much. The animation seems a bit lazy. Overall: A not bad Blu-ray disc. Picture quality is sharp and clear. The 3D Blu-ray pack includes both 2D and 3D version.

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 ...
