Review: "Final Destination 5 Blu-ray review"

The 2D version is alright but still not as entertaining when watched in 3D in cinema. The picture is sharp and clear but not as vibrant as the 4th movie. It has a cold and hard look rather than being bright.

Blu-ray special features- 2.9/5

There is a short featurette (6 minutes) which involves interviews with cast and crew. It is interesting but brief. There are two useless alternative scenes (16 minutes) which only show slightly alternative death scenes. The alternative deaths are less than a minute. There are two visual effects featurette. One is the bridge collapsing (9 minutes) and the other is the plane crash ( 3 minutes). The screen is split into two; one shows the movie scenes and the other shows raw footage. Overall, the features are disappointing but at I should be thankful that there are some features. There are the 2D Blu-ray and the 2D and 3D combo Blu-ray.

Review: "Conan the barbarian Blu-ray review"

Nothing much to say. It seems suited for small screen than big screen as the feeling is like in a direct-to-DVD movie only with bigger budget. The movie is dull and the colours are depressing. Not a very colourful movie but Blu-ray is clear.

Blu-ray special features- 3.4/5

There are almost 45 minutes of special features. There is the main meat (18 minutes) which shows the legacy of Conan where the cast and crew discuss about him. There is a featurette on the creator of Conan (10 minutes). There is a featurette on the action in the movie (9 minutes) which has the cast and crew discussing about the action and cherography. There is a test for the action cherography (5 minutes) where stunts men cherograph the action in the movie. Trailers round up the features. An okay Blu-ray which also includes the 3D version of the movie.

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...

Best and Worst movies of 2011 2011 is over! It sees many good movies so it was kind of tricky to list the best 4 movies of 2011. It had been a good year for movies. Let's see if 2012 is any better. 1.Transformers: Dark of the Moon Rating: 4.5/5 It is one of the best 3D movie ever. It has cool action, great 3D and robots. It may be the final Transformers for Michael Bay. Only thing that can be improved is that rushed out ending. Other than that, it could be 2011 best action movie. 2.Sucker Punch Rating: 4.5/5 It is sad to see the critics slamming this movie. I find its presentation kind of cool and unique. The action is not bad too. Zack Synder really has a sense of cool visual which the movie a more interesting view. 3.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Rating: 4.5/5 The end is finally here. Although it is the most action-packed movie in the franchise, I can't help but feel a little disappointed with the climax. I wanted a longer and more epic battle between Harry and Voldemo...

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...
