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 movie and the featurettes. That's a bad thing. I want to watch the featurettes alone without having to watch the movie. I hope that this Maximum mode won't become a trend for Blu-Ray. There are two deleted scenes (1 minute) which are nothing. There is a commentary!!! You mean the access mode is not enough? Although the Access mode is equipped with engish subtitles, the deleted scenes are not. Picture wise is sharp and clear.

Review: "Kamen Rider Double: A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate DVD review"

This is one of the best recent Kamen Rider movie, it could be also the best Kamen Rider Double movie. The reason is the fight scenes. It is the few that actually feature wire-work. The other two movies are Kamen Rider The First and its sequel but they are not based on the TV series; they are remakes/reboot. This is decently paced with non-stop action. For a movie that runs about an hour, it is surprising that it features many action scenes. It has more action scenes than some action movies that last about two hours. It is also the first 3D Kamen Rider movie ever filmed. Sadly, the DVD release sees no conversion.

DVD special features-0/5

Nothing. The picture is alright but the whole movie looks laggy. Luckily, the problem does not ruin the cool action scenes. Unlike the other Kamen Rider movie DVD I recently reviewed, this does not seem cut. It seems the logos for the companies are cut.

Rating: 4.5/5 Review: "Man of Steel movie review" With all the hype from the trailers, I must say this is what it looks to be expected. I have to say that this is the biggest and epic superhero movie yet. This treats destructions like child's play. It is also the most explosive superhero movie. There are so much explosions that they could literally make you exhausted from watching all those. Although this is directed by Zack Snyder, this does not have much of his trademark except the visuals. His slo-mo trademark is not featured. Instead, the action is rapid fast. Man of Steel is a good entertainment with exciting action scenes and visuals but at the same, a somehow touching human drama. The story: We get an extended opening scene on Krypton where Kal-El is just born. However the planet is going to be destroyed with General Zod adding to the problem. To save Kal-El, he has to be sent to another planet known as Earth. What is interesting about the movie that it do...

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: "The Exchange" (90 minutes) "A decent fast-paced Thai heist thriller that is marred by weak action choreography and shoddy editing"  It's a low-key movie. You can hardly find information about this online when you type in its English title. Perhaps you will have better luck finding information in Thai. My curiosity piqued when I couldn't find any English review on it. Should I take the risk in watching an unknown movie? I finally decided that it wouldn't hurt buying a cheap ticket (US$2.50) to experience it. I actually enjoyed the movie but not the experience. Sure the movie has its own flaws but it is not as distracting as the badly dubbed Khmer language. The dub is emotionless and does not fit the tone of the characters. I know Thai and Khmer are two different languages but I couldn't help by being distracted with the bad lip sync throughout the whole movie. On the other hand, the movie is fast-paced enough to hol...
