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: 3.5/5 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: 3.9/5 Review: "John Carter movie review" Unfortunately, I didn't catch it in 3D. I wasn't sure of how the post-conversion would turn out. Back to the movie. To tell the truth, before John Carter opened, I was not sure if I should give the movie a try. The posters are boring and uninspired and trailers are not really exciting. It was only the week that it opened that I decided to catch it in cinema. I am glad that it is actually a fun and entertaining movie that is worth to watch in cinema. The story: It does pack a lot during the 132 minutes runtime. And it does feel slightly bloated. But it is still fun entertainment. The movie starts with a short action scene on Mars and moves on to John Carter on the human world. Then the next 20-25 minutes show John on Earth. So Sci-Fi will have to wait a while to see John on Mars. The story is simple to understand but the number of characters may confuse. It is sort of a chase movie. The action scenes while short are many...
