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: 3.5/5 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...
