Review: "Whiteout Blu-ray review"

I have upgraded it from DVD. Well, the Blu-ray is obviously more sharper and crisper than the normal DVD version. The colors are more brighter. The faces appearances are more sharper and you can see wrinkles or whatever. The downside of the disc is that it doesn't actually have a menu. It only has a special features menu where you can play the movie from there.
Blu-ray special features-3/5
There are two featurettes; one for the making of the movie (11 minutes) and another for the discussion of bringing the comic to life(10 minutes). Both are passable for special features stuff. There are also deleted scenes (4 minutes) which is also included on DVD. There are previews before the movie. Overall: If you are a rare fan of the movie, it's worth the upgrade.

Review: "Red Riding Hood Blu-ray review"

It is a passable mystery thriller. More fairy tales are being adapted into big screen. The recent movie is Snow White and the huntsman. Next year, we will get more such as Jack the giant killer. Anyway, Red Riding Hood is tense at moments. There are some parts that drag the movie. The most disappointing thing is the short and few appearances of The wolf. The picture quality seems like in a dreamy state but it is decent and sharp.
Blu-ray special features-3/5
 There is nothing much if you don't watch the maximum mode (the annoying trend from Warner Bros. Blu-rays). There are some short featurettes like making of the movie (5 minutes), talking about the two 'hot' guy in the movie (3 minutes), an interesting making of the score (10 minutes) and an insanely short making of the wolf which lasts less than a minute. You can watch audition tapes by the actors (7 minutes) and rehearsal (5 minutes). There is a gag reel (2 minutes) which is somehow funny. There are two music video (5 minutes) which are kind of nice. Pointless additional scenes (4 minutes) round up the features.

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...
