Review: "The Social Network DVD review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This movie recieved very positive reviews from critics and audience alike. It has a high percentage of 96 on rotton tomatoes. I wouldn't say I don't like it but I wouldn't say I like it. I just enjoyed it. The drama about the creator of Facebook moves decently with the runtime of 2 hours. The movie switches from lawsuits scenes to how Mark deals with his Facebook to Mark argueing with his best friend. In the end, it is entertaining but I wouldn't say I like it. And Mark is speaking damn fast like a bullet train spewing smart-ass lines. After the movie, I think of him an ass. Not really an ass, but still an ass.
DVD special features- 3.5/5
The two-disc edition comes with loads of featurettes. I am surprised that I actually enjoyed watching the long making of (92 minutes) which I thought it would be boring. There are other feaurettes about the effects of the movie (7 minutes), the creation of the errie music (18 minutes) and post-production (17 minutes). Then there is music for you to listen, rough cut and finalised. I thought I would skimmed through the features but I am glad I did not.

Review: "The Hole DVD review"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The simple horror movie is entertaining at best. The director mentions that he intended to make this as a family movie. I am not sure how is this a family movie with shocking and one gruesome scenes. There are some creepy scenes too featuring a ghost child. But it wouldn't be that scary for older kids.
DVD special features- 3/5
There is the making of (22 minutes) which is splited into different parts. The making of is nothing interesting, there isn't much behind the scenes too. There are interviews with the cast and crew (12 minutes) which are not impressive. The audio is horrible and the interviews are edited badly. There are useless scenes from the movie (10 minutes)

Review: "Devil DVD review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is an intense movie about five people trapped in a lift in a high-rise building. The short runtime of 1 hour and 20 minutes sees the pace moving fast. Soon, people start dieing and the inevitable conclusion is that someone in the lift is the devil but who? There are twists coming out when things go amok in the confined lift where people suspect each other. The final twist is fine; something I didn't expect. The movie proves to be thrilling and intense till the final twist where the devil appears.
DVD special features- 2/5
There are three deleted scenes (3 minutes) which show background information of three of the people trapped in the lift. They are worth a watch. There are three short featurettes (6 minutes) which are disappointing as they are brief. They seem like promotional featurettes where clips of the movie are mixed with interviews. They are too brief; offer little insights of the movie. They did the worst crime of all. They show only a few seconds of behind the scene footage.

Review: "Spider-man DVD review"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 2002 version is not bad but it offers nothing much except romance and action. Even in the action department, it disappoints. Spider-man 2 and 3 prove to be better movies than the first one. Maybe at that time, it was considered the best superhero movies and a good movie. The reviews agree on that. I disagree on that, maybe that's because I watched this late when great superhero movies were already made like The Dark Knight.
DVD special features- 3/5
The second disc contains usuals like the HBO making of (25 minutes) which is blah and a long featurette on spider-man (40 minutes) which is okay but nothing great either. There are profiles of the director and composer (14 minutes) which are not bad as they are focused on Sam and the composer doing their stuff. There are gag reel (3 minutes) and costumes and auditions of the actors (3 minutes). Then lastly, there is a documentary on spider-man (25 minutes) where Stan Lee, the creator, explains how he created the legendary Marvel hero.

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...

Quick DVD reviews Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Batman: Gotham Knight DVD review" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2D animated movie has six different stories which are interesting on their own. The stories are fast-paced and some of them are action-packed due to the short runtime. The whole movie is only 1 hour and 16 minutes. Some of the famous villians are featured like Scarecrow and the Lizard. The six different stories also have their different styles, Batman seems like a fat monster in one of the story and he is a sleak man in black in another. Overall: It is a good watch even for those who are not a Batman fan but are into the recent live-action Batman movies. DVD special features-3.7/5 The second disc features two good and informative featurettes. One is about the villans of Batman (36 minutes). The writers and producers explain some of the famous villians like Joker and Scarecrow. The interesting facts are that they even ...
