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...

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...

Quick DVD reviews Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Batman: Gotham Knight DVD review" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2D animated movie has six different stories which are interesting on their own. The stories are fast-paced and some of them are action-packed due to the short runtime. The whole movie is only 1 hour and 16 minutes. Some of the famous villians are featured like Scarecrow and the Lizard. The six different stories also have their different styles, Batman seems like a fat monster in one of the story and he is a sleak man in black in another. Overall: It is a good watch even for those who are not a Batman fan but are into the recent live-action Batman movies. DVD special features-3.7/5 The second disc features two good and informative featurettes. One is about the villans of Batman (36 minutes). The writers and producers explain some of the famous villians like Joker and Scarecrow. The interesting facts are that they even ...
