Review: "Prom Night DVD review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is just as good as renting it. The remake has nothing new to look at except the suspense but even that, it is still pretty weak. It is a little intense with many shock scenes (obviously in a horror/thriller movie) and it has its fair share of suspense. Surprisingly, there are some light moments considering that has a serious story and killer. It is definitely not for the gore hounds, if gore is the only thing they want to watch this, even the unrated edition features little blood.
The story: Moving on to thrills and suspense, it does deliver these but they are not very heavy. There is little thrills: you see the killer's face clearly and at most of the time, the camera will show what the killer will do next. Blah. That kills the suspense. There are shock scenes which are predictable, in fact, most of them are predictable.
Overall: It is an okay slasher flick with no heavy suspense or thrills. It is just an average thriller. The problem with this is that it reveals everything too fast, there are not much suspense and thrills to anticipate. Even When Stranger calls is better than this. When Stranger calls at least deal with heavy suspense.

DVD special features-Rating: 3/5
The unrated edition contains one minute more than the theatrical cut but obviously I don't know what is added except some more blood. Uncut runtime is 1 hour 29 minutes. There are a few featurettes which includes making of (12 minutes), a featurette of creating the killer (5 minutes) and location (4 minutes) and real prom night experiences by the cast and crew (6 minutes). All of them are not bad but lack of behind the scenes. They are mainly interviews of cast and crew. There are deleted scenes and a different ending (5 minutes), they are meaningless...no point. There is a slightly funny gag reel (2 minutes) and finally a some sort of preview of how a yearbook is like (5 minutes), yawn. Boring trailers for boring movies are added too.

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...

Best and Worst movies of 2011 2011 is over! It sees many good movies so it was kind of tricky to list the best 4 movies of 2011. It had been a good year for movies. Let's see if 2012 is any better. 1.Transformers: Dark of the Moon Rating: 4.5/5 It is one of the best 3D movie ever. It has cool action, great 3D and robots. It may be the final Transformers for Michael Bay. Only thing that can be improved is that rushed out ending. Other than that, it could be 2011 best action movie. 2.Sucker Punch Rating: 4.5/5 It is sad to see the critics slamming this movie. I find its presentation kind of cool and unique. The action is not bad too. Zack Synder really has a sense of cool visual which the movie a more interesting view. 3.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Rating: 4.5/5 The end is finally here. Although it is the most action-packed movie in the franchise, I can't help but feel a little disappointed with the climax. I wanted a longer and more epic battle between Harry and Voldemo...

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "Iron Man 2 DVD review" Well, for me, it is kind of disappointing. Seeing the lack of action and three short action scenes disappoints me as this movie has been reported to have a higher budget than the first one. Another thing disappointing is the pace. The pace in the first Iron Man movie is intense, it is filled with intense moments and quirky humour. This one's pace is slower with all the melodrama of Tony trying to live his "broken" life as he thinks he will soon die. And he starts being an ass, some drunk ass, and blah blah.... The story: The first third of the movie is not bad, still holding up some interesting moments like the villian, Ivan in a car race scene. The second third is where the story slows down, luckily it is bearable, when Tony behaves like an ass, drinking and dancing like some nut monkey. Then there is an action scene with Tony and his best friend in armour. The last third is the climax between Tony and Ivan which is...
