Review: "Tron Legacy Blu-Ray DVD review"

Tron Legacy is released on Blu-Ray and 3-D Blu-Ray and unfortunately I do not have a 3-D TV and player so I can't watch it in 3-D. The 2-D version is also quite good, with the picture clear and sharp. The epic music on the other hand isn't what I have heard in cinema. Maybe because the TV speakers are not loud enough. The good thing about this Blu-Ray set is that it comes with a 3-D Blu-Ray disc so I may view it in future.

Blu-Ray DVD special features- 3.3/5

Sadly, it is not really packed with special features. There are only four featurettes that are related to the movie. Launching the Legacy (10 minutes) is the pre-production the movie and the crew discussing how to upgrade the movie. Visuallising Tron (11 minutes) and Installing the cast (12 minutes) are like the making of the movie where behind the scenes and interviews are shown. Disc roars (3 minutes) shows that the cheering and booing for the game in the movie are actually from the fans of Tron. There is a preview (1 minute) of the animated series based on the movie. There is music video, Derezzled by Daft Punk (3 minutes) which is one of the less impressive music from the movie. The next day: Flynn Lives Revealed is a not so interesting video, I had actually no idea what is it about until I read the description of it. The weird thing is that it has no running time shown. There is 3-D advertisement (4 minutes) by Timon and Pumbaa. The 2-D advertisement shows some laughable 3-D gimmicks. This combo set is a good set with Blu-Ray and 3-D Blu-Ray.

Review: "Knight and Day DVD review"

Tom Cruise's latest action flick is generic but an entertaining ride. Cruise and Diaz go round the world in this action-packed movie. The action set pieces are not bad, the car chases are thrilling and fast. There are many explosions too with cars tumbling around. The decent pace adds to the entertainment value. Proves that Tom is still running around in action. He stars in the latest Mission Impossible movie.

DVD special features- 3/5

There are four featurettes (31 minutes in total) which are alright. There are the standard making of featurettes. One featurette shows Cruise and Diaz goofing around with a kick and soccer. Another featurette is about Cruise getting Black Eye Peas to sing the main theme for the movie. Not bad special features for a DVD. They also come with english subtitles.

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...
