Review: "Harry Potter and the deathly hallows: part 1 Blu-Ray DVD review"

It is the best Harry Potter movie yet. It is a solid harry potter movie. It is more action-packed and intense than the previous ones which is a surprise as the harry potter movies are not famous for action scenes and this delivers though the action scenes are short.

The story: I find it intense from the start of the movie to the credits rolling. The characters seem suspicious and they are capable of doing anything which make the movie more intense. Harry and his friends are on the run from Vodemort and his evil helpers. Every where they hide, troubles find them. And that is where the director crafts his intense action scenes like harry on his narrow escape from the bad guys. The action scene set in the forest is frenetic and intense but it is too shakey to see the action properely. The acting is good, the trio has believable reationships and emotions. The music is good and epic.

Overall: I can't wait to see the epic showdown of Harry and Vodemort. Part 2 might even be better than this one. It is not a disappointment as I was disappointed with the last movie, the half-blooded prince with its lack of action and intensity.

Blu-Ray DVD special features- 3.5/5

The first disc of the 2 disc edition Blu-Ray DVD features focus points which are small featurettes which can be played all at one (19 minutes). The other feature is a maximum mode which I do not bother watching because the movie needs to be played with it. The second disc has about 1 hour worth of bonus features. There are deleted scenes which are not that good. The worthy feature is the sneak peak behind the second part of the movie which is about 3 minutes of new footage of it. The rest of the runtime is the featurettes; making of. The usual stuff. They touch on some of the important scenes in the movie like the multiple Harry Potters and the forest chase scene. There is a slightly interesting featurette on some of the cast members playing golf...which has nothing to do with the movie. There is the making of the music. Not bad stuff.

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...
