Review: "Kingdom of Heaven DVD review"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fast and Furious is the forth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise. I have seen all of the movies. This is not much different than the others just that this has some new sleek cars. The story is simple enough and the action/racing is the thrills. That is all I want from the franchise. Thrilling and action-packed plot and cool action scenes. Yep, this pretty much delivers.
DVD special features-Rating: 3/5
The features are not bad on a 1 disc DVD. There is a gag reel (5 minutes) which is not exactly funny but has some entertainment values like Paul Walker keeps laughing for no reason. There are numberous of featurettes (24 minutes). Two featurettes focusing on cars and casts. One is Vin's driving test and the other is making of the movie.
Kingdom of Heaven is a good piece of epic movie. Though there is only one major war scene, the rest of the runtime thrills me. Though its long runtime, 2 hours and 25 minutes, the pace is considerably fast and seldom drags. The music is epic too. Acting is convincing enough. Its DVD cover and poster made me think that this has non-stop action and I was wrong. But in the end, I was massively entertained.
DVD special features-Rating: 4/5
The features are good and detailed. There are two featurettes about the history (1 hours and 30 minutes) which is awesome. It is good to know the history of this story. There is a detailed making of (1 hours and 32 minutes) which is good too. There are some small things like a net featurette (9 minutes) and trailer (2 minutes). Good DVD.

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...
