Review: "Amalfi DVD review"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first half of the 2 hours and 4 minutes movie is a little slow which was kind of disappointing, I expected a fast-paced thriller from reading the summary. Luckily, the last half moves in fast pace and is exciting. Overall: Because of the first half, the plot kind of drags which makes it less enjoyable but still entertains.

As usual from a Japanese movie DVD, it features nothing. That I don't mind but even the quality is not very good. It is like the standard of a VCD. The english subtitles are embedded onto the movie...This is definitely not a good effort made.

Review: "Zombieland DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I feel the movie is over-rated. It is not the best horror/comedy movie. The fact is it entertains with amusing jokes (some are lame) and there are action with zombies. With its short runtime (thankfully, it is short or it will become boring), the pace moves briskly along with four characters finding a place in the world of zombies.

There are two featurettes. One featurette is about the casting of the stars (15 minutes). The actors/actresses tell about their experiences in making the movie. Kind of interesting. The second featurette is more of the making of the movie (11 minutes). There are boring deleted scenes (5 minutes) which are not very amusing. There is a short behind the scenes (4 minutes). For some of the scenes, surprisingly, they used green screen. Boring Promo trailers which is used to advertise the movie. Lastly, the trailers (12 minutes)

Review: "The Covenant DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The supernatural thriller is interesting. It has a mix of thriller, supernatural and action. The final showdown is cool with the two main characters blasting at each others. It starts with the thrills (although it is not very thrilling) and supernatural and ends off with an epic showdown. I need a sequel.

There is a featurette (18 minutes) which is interesting as it covers interviews with the cast and crew and at the same time shows some behind the scenes. It also covers on the special effects. Two trailers (2 minutes) including its own trailer round off the special features. The special features may not be many but it is informative.

Review: "Devilman DVD review"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This live-action movie has been attacked by fans who say it does not resemble its original source. It is considered one of the worst movie in Japan but I don't think so. I may find it entertaining as I am not a Devilman fan. I must agree with the fans who say that the acting is shit. I laughed at the characters screaming, so fake and no emotions. The special effects are not bad considered it is a Japanese movie made in 2004.

The Hong Kong edition does not even contain its own trailer. Special features aside, the quality of the movie is sharp and clear. The USA has special features, what a pity.

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: 3.7/5 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...
