Review: "Alice in Wonderland DVD review"
-------------------------------------------------------
When I had watched this in cinema with 3D, I gave it 4 because the 3D is kind of cool and is a plus point for the movie. But when the movie comes out on DVD, the feeling of being blown away is not there maybe because of the 3D effect. Still, it is entertaining for 2D.
DVD special features-Rating: 3/5
There are three brief featurettes. One is about on The Mad hatter (6 minutes) on about Johnny and the director/producers discussing his role. Another one is about creating the Wonderland with CGI (6 minutes). The last one is on finding Alice (6 minutes) on about the actress and director talking about how Alice should be played in the movie.

Review: "Clash of the Titans DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------
This is a movie where the 3D does not look good. When I watched this in cinema, there were barely any 3D effects. The chinese subtitles which are in 3D are distracting and cover some of the action; they are like in the middle of the screen. It comes out on 2D DVD and I am not surprised. Anyway, unlike Alice in Wonderland, this one still has the thrills and is replayable.
DVD special features-Rating: 3.5/5
There are deleted scenes (18 minutes) which are long but add nothing to the story. They will only slow down the story. Focus points which are small featurettes (36 minutes total) are not bad but a little too brief. One featurette lasts around 2-3 minutes. They focus on some stuff in the movie like creating Kraken and the other monsters in this movie. There is a featurette on creating the hero (8 minutes) which talks about the main star talking about getting into the role of the main hero. Lastly, another featurette which is a TV special (24 minutes) is almost like the focus points with a bit more footage.

Review: "Ninja Assassin DVD review"
----------------------------------------------------
Rain acts as the lean-muscled ninja who runs away from his clan and is surviving not so well with other ninjas coming to kill him. Blood is spilled and there is a lot of blood and it is CGI. The fight scenes are cool but are few. The first hour has no impressive fight scenes and only tells background information of where Rain is from and how he is trained. Then there is a girl, I don't know what is her true purpose, helping Rain and screaming. Overall: It could have done without the subplot of the girl helping him. I would want more ninjas fighting. Plus this is edited for a M-18 rating...
DVD special features-Rating: 3/5
There are deleted scenes (7 minutes) which are pointless to the movie. There is a featurette on training Rain to get him fit for the role (9 minutes) which is interesting as you can see how hard he train to get his abs.

Review; "14 Blades DVD review"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I saw the trailer, I was impressed thinking it could be great. Alas when I finished watching the movie, I couldn't help to be disappointed. The fighting scenes are okay, they are not what I expected when watching the trailer. I thought Donnie could do some impressive stunts but he didn't really show them here. The story is a bit muddle-headed but still okay. At least, it didn't turn out to be boring. Still, the fight scenes are better than in some movies.
DVD special features-Rating: 2.5/5
A making of (17 minutes) with no english subtitles. It is basically the usual making of. It has interviews with cast and crew and behind the scenes. That is all. Nothing much. There is a trailer of the movie (2 minutes).

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 ...
