Review: "Transporter 2 DVD review"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is fast-paced with some cool action scenes.
DVD special features-3.4/5
It has long deleted and extended scenes (20 minutes) which show some background information, small details and more action. It is worth a watch. The making of (4 minutes) is a short one with the usual interviews and behind the scenes. Nothing special and it is short for any interesting information. Surprisingly, the featurette on the music (10 minutes) is longer than the making of. I have no idea what the eng dub version is talking about. The over-lapping of the english dub on the original french version is horrible. It does not follow the mouths. Lastly, there are previews (3 minutes), one is on Night Watch.

Review: "Universial Soldiers Regeneration DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is a decent straight-to-DVD movie. I have not watched the other movies but I can roughly understand the story. The Universial Soldiers are like cyborgs. They cannot feel anything and only follow orders by their owners. And they will do whatever way to complete their missions. What happens when two Universial Soldiers fight each other? The fight scenes are brutal and the action is decent which make the movie decent. As this is just a non-stop action movie.

The hell with this DVD. The USA has special features but the local DVD does not. It does not even include previews of other movies.

Review: "The Box DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Box has an interesting plot. A couple receive a box from a mysterious man. Once the button on the box is pushed, two things happen. Some one in the world they don't know will die. Second, they will receive a million dollars. There are some meanings behind this like the greed of humans. There are some mild twists. The movie is intense at times and sometimes, it turns to the weird direction where nothing make sense. But the plot engages me with its twists and turns.

Again, no special features. The distributor, Scorpio East sucks. It does not even bother to have trailers included in bare-bones DVDs. It also distributes the bare-bones Universial Soldiers DVD. How disappointing.

Review: "Law Abiding Citizen DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is intense and has suspense but when it comes to the ending, it is disappointing. The ending is the bad part of the movie. The ending is so common, it is nothing special and that is why it is disappointing. The acting is convincing. The characters are a bit wack but in the end, they got what they derserve.
DVD special features-0/5
Nothing. Nothing and Nothing. Crap DVD.

Rating: 4.5/5 Review: "Man of Steel movie review" With all the hype from the trailers, I must say this is what it looks to be expected. I have to say that this is the biggest and epic superhero movie yet. This treats destructions like child's play. It is also the most explosive superhero movie. There are so much explosions that they could literally make you exhausted from watching all those. Although this is directed by Zack Snyder, this does not have much of his trademark except the visuals. His slo-mo trademark is not featured. Instead, the action is rapid fast. Man of Steel is a good entertainment with exciting action scenes and visuals but at the same, a somehow touching human drama. The story: We get an extended opening scene on Krypton where Kal-El is just born. However the planet is going to be destroyed with General Zod adding to the problem. To save Kal-El, he has to be sent to another planet known as Earth. What is interesting about the movie that it do...

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: "The Exchange" (90 minutes) "A decent fast-paced Thai heist thriller that is marred by weak action choreography and shoddy editing"  It's a low-key movie. You can hardly find information about this online when you type in its English title. Perhaps you will have better luck finding information in Thai. My curiosity piqued when I couldn't find any English review on it. Should I take the risk in watching an unknown movie? I finally decided that it wouldn't hurt buying a cheap ticket (US$2.50) to experience it. I actually enjoyed the movie but not the experience. Sure the movie has its own flaws but it is not as distracting as the badly dubbed Khmer language. The dub is emotionless and does not fit the tone of the characters. I know Thai and Khmer are two different languages but I couldn't help by being distracted with the bad lip sync throughout the whole movie. On the other hand, the movie is fast-paced enough to hol...
