Review: "How to Train Your Dragon movie review"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am surprised I would enjoy this more than I thought I would. The 3D is also quite good. DreamWork movies keep improving. I like this better than its last movie, Monsters Vs Aliens. With an epic score by John Power, cute dragons and cool 3D, nothing can go wrong. Well, the plot does engage me too. I am surprised by its little time on dwelling with emotions as what Pixar/DreamWork movies usually do, instead it goes for the action-packed adventure with slapstick.
The 3D are at my standards. It is not very mind-blowing but it is cool. With 3D action in front of your face. Wow, is that amazing? Why should it not? 3D movies are the trend. There are more 3D movies releasing like Clash of Titans, Tron Legacy etc. obviously there are many more.

DVD special features-3/5
There are two featurettes. One is about the cast of the movie (11 minutes) which the cast discuss about their roles and the directors commenting about their performances. The other one is about the making of the dragons (10 minutes). There are some interesting facts like how the directors wanted the dragons to breathe out fire and other stuff like mastering the lighting of the movie to make it as realistic as possible. There are a commentary and trailers of Megamind and Shrek 4.

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: 3.7/5 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...

Rating: 3.7/5 Review: "Fantastic Four movie review" "A decent gritty reboot that could have been something more than what it is now." This is Josh Trank's first big budget movie and it seems he is slightly inexperienced of directing a movie of a massive scale. Fresh from directing a small budget movie, Chronicle, it seems that he is overwhelmed by whatever happened (there are rumours that Matthew Vaughn was brought in to reshoot). Nonetheless, on the whole, the reboot is an alright movie that rehashes on the tired superhero origin. It is disappointing that it is a little shallow. I think with a longer runtime, it could benefit the characters' development and flow of the story. The story: Apparently, the writers of the film said that it does not follow any story from the source material. Instead, a new origin is created. I didn't exactly know how the original source material goes (I read a couple of Fantastic Four comic books to know the tone ...
