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...

Best and Worst movies of 2011 2011 is over! It sees many good movies so it was kind of tricky to list the best 4 movies of 2011. It had been a good year for movies. Let's see if 2012 is any better. 1.Transformers: Dark of the Moon Rating: 4.5/5 It is one of the best 3D movie ever. It has cool action, great 3D and robots. It may be the final Transformers for Michael Bay. Only thing that can be improved is that rushed out ending. Other than that, it could be 2011 best action movie. 2.Sucker Punch Rating: 4.5/5 It is sad to see the critics slamming this movie. I find its presentation kind of cool and unique. The action is not bad too. Zack Synder really has a sense of cool visual which the movie a more interesting view. 3.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Rating: 4.5/5 The end is finally here. Although it is the most action-packed movie in the franchise, I can't help but feel a little disappointed with the climax. I wanted a longer and more epic battle between Harry and Voldemo...

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "Iron Man 2 DVD review" Well, for me, it is kind of disappointing. Seeing the lack of action and three short action scenes disappoints me as this movie has been reported to have a higher budget than the first one. Another thing disappointing is the pace. The pace in the first Iron Man movie is intense, it is filled with intense moments and quirky humour. This one's pace is slower with all the melodrama of Tony trying to live his "broken" life as he thinks he will soon die. And he starts being an ass, some drunk ass, and blah blah.... The story: The first third of the movie is not bad, still holding up some interesting moments like the villian, Ivan in a car race scene. The second third is where the story slows down, luckily it is bearable, when Tony behaves like an ass, drinking and dancing like some nut monkey. Then there is an action scene with Tony and his best friend in armour. The last third is the climax between Tony and Ivan which is...
