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: 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: "Terminator Salvation DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is not bad. It is not the worst terminator movie, I actually thought Terminator 1 is just okay. Terminator 2 and 3 are quite entertaining followed by also entertaining Salvation. MCG, the director of Charlies' Angels, takes the directing seat and turned terminator into a dark and gritty world. As what he said, he did not want the future to be a shiny world but a dark and gritty world. He is considered to have done a great job in that and creating the realistic and cool action. But his story pretty much stays the same as his other movies, a simple mindless thrill ride. The story: The future is here and the year is 2018...John Conner is a daring man who will be willing to save people from Skynet, a evil organisation which creates Terminators. A mysterious man who is supposed to be dead suddenly finds himself in the year of...

Rating: 3.7/5 Review: "Fantastic Four movie review" "A decent gritty reboot that could have been something more than what it is now." This is Josh Trank's first big budget movie and it seems he is slightly inexperienced of directing a movie of a massive scale. Fresh from directing a small budget movie, Chronicle, it seems that he is overwhelmed by whatever happened (there are rumours that Matthew Vaughn was brought in to reshoot). Nonetheless, on the whole, the reboot is an alright movie that rehashes on the tired superhero origin. It is disappointing that it is a little shallow. I think with a longer runtime, it could benefit the characters' development and flow of the story. The story: Apparently, the writers of the film said that it does not follow any story from the source material. Instead, a new origin is created. I didn't exactly know how the original source material goes (I read a couple of Fantastic Four comic books to know the tone ...
