Review: "Sucker Punch Blu-Ray review"

It is quite an enjoyable ride. I have no idea why it recieved poor reviews; 23% on rotton tomatoes and it didn't fare well with audience too with a rating of 6.2 on IMDB. And then it didn't do that well in Box Office, it got US$89 million. That's not good with a budget of US$82 million. Anyway, although there are many bad reviews, they didn't stop me from enjoying this fun romp. The story presentation is cool with idea dealing with the mind. It is like a movie that you have to pay attention in order to realise what's going on. Like Incpetion. Action scenes are cool too. With lots of fantasy in these scenes, it is kind of rare to see an action movie not being realistic.

Blu-Ray features-3.4/5

Sadly, the only making of is the Maximum mode which means I had to watch the movie just for the making of. Not very enjoyable as I had to sit down for two hours and watch the movie plus at the same time, see how they make the movie. I have no idea why Warner Bros. is pushing up this idea. The Green Lantern Blu-Ray also gets this treatment. There is no option of playing the featurettes seperately. Throughout the feature, you can access to picture galleries and storyboards. Zack, the director, plays the host as he explains how he makes the movies. There is a music featurette (2 minutes) which is so damn brief that it is almost nothing. It is just a promotional featurette with the music composer discussing briefly about the music. And then lastly, a series of motion comic (11 minutes) which is not too bad. They provide background knowledge about the movie. Overall: Not a bad Blu-Ray but would prefer the Maximum mode to be played seperate.

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: 4.3/5 Review: "American Made film review" "An entertaining and fun well-made film boosted by great direction and acting." Doug Liman and Tom Cruise paired up together again for a fast-paced and colorful biography on Barry Seal. American Made may not have the blockbuster action but it holds up on its own firmly with the help of a great direction by Doug. Tom Cruise is definitely the main highlight of the film and he is what made it so entertaining. The story: The pace is brisk; it takes the audience on a crazy ride from the start and never slows down. Though it never felt boring, sometimes I felt that it could have slowed down for some development. After the film ended, it seems that Doug and Tom had a clear mind on just keeping the audience as entertained as they can be. It cuts to the chase and never dwells on anything such as emotions. It moves quickly from event to event. Advantage is that I was not bored at all. Disadvantage is that it felt li...
