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: 3.4/5 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...
