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: 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: 3.5/5 Review: Taken DVD review Taken is a new action movie that makes the audiences want more hard and gritty action flicks. I can see that now. Taken has the drama (Yawn!) and the realistic action (Like the Borne movies). Clocking at only 1 and a half hour, the movie starts off slow with drama. After half and hour pass, it goes straight to the intensity and non-stop realistic action. I don't like the slow start. As it is only 1 and a half hour, it do not have the time for slow characters' development. It should drive straight to the action, unless it clocks around 2 hours. The story: It seems to be the usual kidnapping movies where the bad guys kidnap some random girl/boy and ask for ransom. But in this, they kidnap young women to become sex-slaves. A father of a kidnapped daughter is enraged and goes to Paris where his daughter is. "I will find you! I will kill you!" He says to the bad guys. He starts punching and kicking people to hell. He kicks men's b...

Rating: 3.8/5 Review: "Resident Evil: Retribution movie review" It was a pity that I did not manage to catch it in 3D. I have no doubt that it looks good in 3D since the previous movie looks good in 3D. To say the truth, Resident Evil: Retribution seems to be nothing special without the amazing 3D like what Resident Evil: Afterlife is. The 5th movie is all about action and suspense, the story is pretty straight-forward. The story: You are a fool if you go and watch a Resident Evil movie expecting good story line and acting. So far, none of the movies in the franchise have these qualities. But they are entertaining to watch because of the action and suspense. This is the most action-packed Resident Evil movie so far. The action scenes are also better and bigger. It is like a kind of compensation for the lack of action in Resident Evil: Afterlife. It is not only filled with action but it is also intense. Music in this is also the best in the franchise; it has a more ep...
