Rating: 3.8/5 Review: "Green Lantern movie review" Green Lantern is the latest DC Comic adaptation. DC Comic is kind of lacking of superhero movies, recent movie is Jonah Hex which was in cinema last year is a flop. Marvel is more superior by showing more noticable superheroes like recent Thor and X-Men: First Class. Each year will at least feature one Marvel Comic movie whereas DC superhero movies are rare. So hopefully, Green Lantern will encourage DC and Warner Bros. to make more superhero movies. There can't be always Superman and Batman saving the day. The story: It is a straight-forward superhero movie. It starts off nicely with an introduction of the Green Lantern world and the epic title appears with epic music by James Newton Howard. The action starts pretty soon with a brief escape from the monster, Parallax. We are then introduced to the cocky Hal Jordan who will obviously be chosen to become Green Lantern. Though the story is straight-foward, the pace moves ...

Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "I am number four Blu-Ray DVD review" Nothing much to say here as I have already wrote a review since its cinema release. It is not bad to own it on Blu-Ray. The picture is sharp and the colours are vibrant. This combo set includes a standard DVD. I have compared both of them and the Blu-Ray is far more vibrant than the dull DVD which the colors seem to be washed out. Blu-Ray special features- 3/5 There are deleted scenes (19 minutes) which are kind of useless in the movie but they do bring out the extra information for some of the characters. Each deleted scene is introduced by the director explaining why the scene got deleted. I find there are not many deleted scenes and the running time of each of them is short. But it is the director's introduction that makes the whole feature long running 19 minutes. There is only a single making of (12 minutes) and it is not for the movie. It is only focused on the making of number six. Standard making of inclu...

Rating: 4/5 Review: "X-Men: First Class movie review" This is the fifth installment for the X-Men franchise and it is clearly not slowing down into making more X-Men movies. This is the prequel to Brian Singer's movies. And it is much better than his movies, X-Men 3 or the Origin: Wolverine though it lacks the action the franchise had. The thrilling story makes up of the lack of action. This movie makes the characters more intense actually, you are afraid of their powerful and focused minds of the mutants especially the villian- Shaw and vengeful Erik. I must say due to the intensity of the characters, this is a good and watchable installment. When Matthew Vaughn came aboard, I knew this movie will at least be entertaining. His movies are the entertaining ride, Kick-Ass and Stardust. The story: It moves fast with thrills. Critics say the plot reminds them a bit of James Bond's. I could see the resemblance but this only takes James Bond's plot like a hint or even a...
