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: 3.7/5 Review: "The Green Hornet movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is not a bad movie to start on January, a month which okay movie are out. The Green Hornet is a special hero with cool gadgets and cars but the movie turns him into a generic superhero. It is entertaining at best but if you look for a complex plot with a lot of characters' development, this will not sastify. Reid aka The Green Hornet at first in the movie acts like an asshole and making out with girls. Then his father's death hit him hard, but not hard enough. He meets kato and they become The Green Hornet and Kato fighting the bad guys as bad guys. The action scenes are many and loud with explosions. The fight scenes are often played in slow motion. The climax features a cool car chase, a gun fight and a fight in the office. Boom! The climax is loud and explosive and even tearing down the whole office. And it is cool. Who doesn...
