Rating: 3.8/5 Review: "Final Destination 5 3D movie review" It is obvious that this is the fifth installment to the popular franchise but it seems the latest movie is getting tiresome. It didn't do exactly well in Box Office; its earnings is the last of the franchise but it may do better worldwide. Final Destination 5 can be considered the best installment though I have not watched 1 and 2. But it is a lot better than 3 and 4 in terms of suspense. It is almost as gory as them so there's no problem. The 4th one is not bad, there is a hot girl and some intense moments but that's about it. The 5th has a hot girl, more intense and suspenseful moments including near-death moments and heck, Brian Tyler scores some intense music especially in the opening credits. The story: It is pretty routine for this series. The main character sees a premotion and warns everyone who dies. They escape but death comes after them. They die in horrible deaths. End. Nothing mu

Rating: 4.5/5 Review: "Gantz: Perfect Answer movie review" I did not catch the first one in cinema therefore I decided to support the last movie. Gantz: Perfect Answer is indeed worth to watch in cinema although it is in only three cinemas. This can be compared to Daeth Note 2 which is also the last movie in the two-parter series (Not counting L changes the world). The suspense and thrills are maxed out like Death Note 2 does. This also features some cool action scenes. The story: It continues where the first movie last stops. In the beginning, there is a quick recap for the first one and even features the names of the main characters. It is good for those who have forgotten what's happening as this took a long time to be released in cinema. The thrills and suspense makes the movie fast-paced. Action fans have to wait for a while for the real major action scene which involves a train. The other and last major action scene is a lenghtly chase and ends with a cool

Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Conan the barbarian movie review" From the director of the remake Friday the 13th and Pathfinder, you will know that this will turn out to be a gore-feast. Well, that's true. Conan the barbarian is nothing but bloody and gory action and nudity. The story is just there for nothing; the story is just a straight-foward revengence story. The story: Nothing you should know about it for it is almost none. The action scenes are the ones that string up the movie with some simple vengence story. It is really an action-packed movie. Reviewers who say that the action scenes start every less than five minutes are telling the truth. After a brief introduction about barbarians, the movie starts in the middle of a war where Conan is born. Then, we are getting frequent action scenes after some minutes of talking and unintentionally funny dialogues. The bad thing about those frequent action scenes is that they are uninspired action scenes; generic action s

Rating: 4/5 Review: "Cowboys and Aliens movie review" Jon, the director of the two Iron Man movies, choose to step down from the director's chair of the Iron Man franchise and direct this western movie. The question is "Is it a wise choice?" I would say probably. Because of the second Iron Man movie, I felt that it is good to have another director for the franchise. Not to say Iron Man 2 is bad but Jon did not actually make the second movie better than the first. Iron Man 2 is still entertaining but it lacks the things the first Iron Man has. One of them is the intensity. So I was surprised that Cowboys and Aliens is intense, the first half and hour is breath-taking intense. Jon manages to make a comeback with this which is good for him. The story: Daniel Crag plays a mysterious guy who wakes up in the middle of nowhere in the first scene of the movie. His mysterious past makes the first half and hour intense and filled with suspense as we have not kno

Rating: 3.8/5 Review: "Drive Angry Blu-Ray review" Nothing much to say as I have already written a review since its release in cinema. It is a fun movie. And I can't wait to watch it in 3D on TV. The edition I bought is the 3D Blu-Ray combo which consists of both 2D and 3D version of the movie. Blu-Ray special features- 3.4/5 The only making of is the Access mode. This is my first time watching like a Maximum mode where you are given the option to watch behind the scenes, interviews while watching the movie. And I do not really like it. I feel that it is disruptive. When I want to watch the movie, I prefer to watch without any commentary or Maximum mode. And when I want to watch the special features like featurettes, I want to just watch them without watching the movie. Access mode is like a commentary but with pictures. The screen will split into half. The movie is shown on top of the TV screen while behind the scenes and interviews are shown below. Small screens for the

Rating: 4/5 Review: "Captain America: The First Avenger movie review" This must be the superhero movie in this year to deliver solid action scenes. Thor's action scenes are disappointing and Green Lantern's are not really worth to mention. X-Men: First Class's are not too bad but they are few. But this, we get to see explosions, fistcuff fights and vehicle chase scenes. It may also be one of the best action superhero movie in Marvel. To tell the truth, Marvel's movies does not really deliver in terms of big-bang action except for some like Daredevil and The Incredible Hulk. The story: It is a simple straight-forward movie with some moral meanings of course. But it is the action scenes that stands out from being classified as a generic superhero movie. This features real action like in a James Bond movie and not much of CGI effects. It involves with many explosions and fistcuff fight scenes which are highly engrossing. After being dissappointed with the few sup
