Rating: 4/5 Review: "Avatar 3D movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The reason why Avatar has a rating of 4 is because it is entertaining and its 3D effects are cool. Avatar's 3D is not the usual 3D which has things popping out from the screen instead its 3D effects make you feel like you are in the movie. There is actually nothing that pops out from the screen. The effects also show characters in front of the background. The 3D manages to cover up the simple story but entertaining story. The story: Those who said that the story is not very original are right. The story isn't any original but it has thrills and entertainment. In the future world, characters are able to control avatars hence the title. Jake is an eager man who can't wait to control his avatar. His avatar then develops a realationship with the other blue aliens and soon needs to make a decision to join whose side as man and aliens

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

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "The Storm Warriors movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the long-awaited sequel to The Storm Riders which was made ten years ago. Can you believe it? After ten years, the Pang Brothers decide to helm the sequel. They made it into an action-packed movie filled with incredible special effects not seen in chinese movies. It is obviously filmed with green/blue screen. The special effects are not to be compared with high budget Hollywood movies'. The story: The action with special effects starts straight from the first scene. Wind and Cloud, the main characters, cannot defeat the powerful bad assholes so they flee the scene. They then both are trained in different ways. Wind takes the evil way which may endanger him and Cloud being taught by Nameless, a teacher. With its fast pace, the movie took me from one action scene to another in a short time and soon I forgot the time and

Rating: 3.3/5 Review: "Fast and Furious DVD review" Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "Kingdom of Heaven DVD review" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fast and Furious is the forth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise. I have seen all of the movies. This is not much different than the others just that this has some new sleek cars. The story is simple enough and the action/racing is the thrills. That is all I want from the franchise. Thrilling and action-packed plot and cool action scenes. Yep, this pretty much delivers. DVD special features-Rating: 3/5 The features are not bad on a 1 disc DVD. There is a gag reel (5 minutes) which is not exactly funny but has some entertainment values like Paul Walker keeps laughing for no reason. There are numberous of featurettes (24 minutes). Two featurettes focusing on cars and casts. One is Vin's driving test and the other is making of the movie. Kingdom of Heaven is

Rating: 3.1/5 Review: "New Moon movie review" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am not the crazy-ass fan who will scream when seeing Edward or a fan of the books. I watch this for pure entertainment and as to see how bad this movie can be. This is not bad, in fact, it is actually interesting to see how the main character, Bella, copes with her vampire lover, Edward, plus a new guy's love. The thing is it is a little slow. The way the director, the one behind Golden Compass, bring up the story isn't there. The pacing also seems a bit off. From a starting slow pace shoots into a slightly faster pace and then shoots right back into the slow pace. So it is a little hard not to feel bored at times. Other than that, it is quite okay. The story: It continues after Twilight, which is also okay, and goes in a melodrama pace. Bella is still in very love with the vampire hunk, Edward. Hooooo.....un
