Review: "Wolverine DVD review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The latest X-men movie and the first origin movie, Wolverine. Wolverine is one of the most popular X-men so I am definitely not surprised that they have made a film about him. It is entertaining at most, a straight-forward story packed with action. It is not the best X-men movie. Though it is action-packed, it just feel bloated. It is like stuffing your stomach more food when it is full. The action is not that breath-taking, it is just filled with explosion and destruction. Even X-men 3 which present the action better seems to be better than this bloated action-packed movie.
The story: The origin of Wolverine. What else do you need to know? It features scenes of Wolverine screaming or roaring like some pissed-off animal which is true. The whole time, he is pissed off with mutants like Gambit and Victor known as Sabertooth. He goes on a killing spree and so does Victor. They hack and slash and without the blood and gore, this is only a PG-13 movie. Blah blah, everything is squeezed into the 1 hour and 47 minutes runtime. Guess what? It is just bloated.
Overall: It is not bad and also not the better Marvel comic movies I have seen. It is just entertainment and that is all about it. I enjoyed X-men 3 better than this. One thing to look out for, Wolverine crying like a pussy. Now that is entertainment.

DVD special features- Rating: 2.5/5
The one-disc edition only contains two special features. One is a short docu-making of (12 minutes), it is just briefly tells about how they get about making this movie and some behind the scenes. The second and last one is some boring deleted scenes (9 minutes). They are meaningless and do not really contribute to the story and hence got deleted.

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 ...
