Review: "Man-Thing DVD review"


This is one of the rare Marvel comic adaptions that are violent and mature. The Punisher franchise is one of them too. Although Man-Thing is not as violent as The Punisher, it still has its fair share of gruesome and grisly scenes. Though it is a TV movie, it is not too bad and Man-Thing's CGI which only appears in the last half an hour is okay for a low-budget movie. So what's with the rest of the movie. It kills people but you don't get to see the monster doing the deed. The story is kind of simple, there is a sense of dread and suspense in the swamp. Overall: It is not bad for a TV movie based on the Marvel comic. To say the truth, I am only interested in it because it is based on the comic.

DVD special features-2.5/5

There are a handful of deleted scenes (15 minutes). Some of them are extended scenes. A particular extended scene is the cutting of the main characters having sex or tried to. It is weird for the scene to be cut. No idea why they cut that out when the first part of the movie has a couple having sex. There should be a director's commentary. There is a lame bloopers (1 minute) which is too damn short to show anything funny. And it seems to be cut.

Review: "The Tuxedo DVD review"


One of Jackie Chan's Hollywood blockbusters and it didn't get good review from critics and audience alike. But it is not bad, the only downside is there should be more fightings and stunts. The pace is fast and in a not-boring way, moving things briefly. The 1 hour and 38 minutes is a fun romp with its break-neck pace, some cool stunts and likeable characters. Seems that the critics and audience want a more realistic Jackie Chan's movie like what he did in Hong Kong; realistic Kung-Fu with no wires.

DVD special features- 3/5

There is the cutting room which includes deleted and extended scene and outtakes. The deleted scenes (12 minutes) are okay which make the movie more understandable. The extended scenes (5 minutes) do the same. The outtakes (7 minutes) are fun and enjoyable. People are laughing and goofing on and off set. There is a making of (13 minutes) which is actually brief to say the truth. During the short time, it runs through the main points of the movie like stunts and making of the tuxedo and dancing. But even that, the points it touches on is brief. I would like to know more about them. Lastly, there is the trailer of the movie.

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...

The Five Best And Worst of 2017 Best 1. Dunkirk This is the top movie of 2017 because it was a pleasant experience in cinema. Watching this in cinema was not an initial intent however the strong reviews caught my attention. It is Christopher Nolan's best. It is short and sweet without dwelling on much. Han Zimmer's thrilling score levitates the movie to a whole new level. 2. Blade Runner 2049 It is another surprise hit for me as I did not intend to watch this in cinema too. The long runtime was partially the drawback for me but I was pleasantly surprised that I was engaged throughout the whole movie. Aside from Dennis Villeneuve's strong direction, Han Zimmer's score is on another level. 3. Thor Ragnarok Last year has been a great year. I did not expect to enjoy the third outing of Thor that much. The first one is so-so and the second one is an improvement however none of them stood out in my memories. Thor Ragnarok is definitely one of the most ...
