Review: "My Bloody Valentine 3D DVD review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Final Destination DVD is awesome. It includes both the 2D and 3D versions. 2D should not be a problem to watch. The 3D is quite cool. It is better than the old 3D movies like Spy Kid 3D. Though it is DVD, the 3D effects stand out. It does really give me a sense of 3D in the movie. It is like the characters stand out from the background. It is quite cool.
DVD special features-Rating: 3/5
Having both 2D and 3D versions is good enough. There are some 3D movies that don't get the same treatment, they are 3D in cinema but on DVD, they are not. There are previews (7 minutes) of movies like WhiteOut, Halo Legends and advertisements. There are also deleted scenes (7 minutes). The deleted scenes are not bad, some of them show more bloody deaths and some show more talking. The best thing is that the scenes are completed, not a rough reel. Overall, a good DVD for collection.
My Bloody Valentine 3D is also quite good. I think the 3D effects are better than The Final Destination. It really gives me a sense of 3D, the characters really stand out from the background. Though the good 3D, it is a bit long, runtime of 1 hour and 41 minutes. Luckily The Final Destination is only 1 hour and 22 minutes so I get the fun of wearing the 3D glasses and see the special effects. My Bloody Valentine means you need to wear the glasses long which may be a little uncomfortable. But overall, it is still good for a 3D movie on DVD.
DVD special features-Rating: 2/5
It also has both the 2D and 3D versions which is awesome. But the real special features are meagre. The one-disc edition only contains a commentary by the director which I don't bother to listen and previews of movies such as crank 2 and some straight-to-DVD movies. It also contains the trailer of My Bloody Valentine (2 minutes). If you want special features, get the 2-disc edition.

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: 4.3/5 Review: "Alita: Battle Angel IMAX movie review" (122 minutes) This is Robert Rodriguez's biggest movie yet and costs a staggering US$200 million. It is easy to see why. The sets are massive loaded with CGI and even many characters are CGI. Alita: Battle Angel has everything a Blockbuster has; action, romance, drama, CGI, epic music. Robert's direction is confident despite him handling a large-scale movie for the first time. As this is based on the manga, it suffers the cram condensation of a few volumes. The story: The start is surprising as it has no big opening action scene (we are used to seeing a big opening action in most Blockbuster). The sets may be big scaled but the opening feels intimate in terms of emotions. We see Dr. Dyson (Christoph Waltz) finding and rebuilding a female cyborg, Alita (Rosa Salazar). The first 20 minutes are engaging as we discover Iron City from the eyes of Alita. From then on, the pace quickens as we are introduce...
