Review: "Sherlock TV series season 1 review"

It's a rare time that I have finished watching a TV series. Maybe it's because that season 1 only consists of 3 episodes. One episode is almost like a TV movie lasting for 1 and a half hour. Basically, they are interesting and engrossing episodes. In this, Sherlock Holmes seems to be like a wise-cracking fast-talking and slightly crazy detective which is a kind of different from the recent big-budget movies.

The episodes are good so it's hard to say which one is better. But the last episode of the season turns to a more intense ride where Sherlock has to play a fast-paced game with Moriarty and it is a more exciting episode than the rest. Acting wise is good. Although Sherlock can sometimes be an ass, you can't help marvel at his excellent deduction. John Waston is good too. But I don't know what to say about Moriarty. He's different from the big-budget movies. Anyway, he has just appeared in the last episode so it's early to say. Music wise is good too.

Overall: It is one of the best TV series I have watched. I like mystery stuff so it is fun to sit back and watch Sherlock and John piecing the mystery together. It is actually worth to own it on DVD. Now I can't wait for season 2 to arrive on TV.

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 ...
