Review: "I Robot DVD review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is kind of intense in some ways. It has non-stop thrills but I would not say that this is action-packed. As far as I can remember this only has three-four major action scenes. And the action scenes are loaded with CGI robots and stunts. Well, this was in 2004 so I found those scenes slightly cheap. The story is ot bad, it has the thrills to keep me watching until the credit. Good popcorn flick.

Wow, this 2-Disc DVD has extensive featurettes and making of. There is a long making of/video production diaries (91 minutes) which can be viewed in chapters. It is basically behind the scenes on some scenes. Yeah, not a bad making of as it is quite detailed and covers up those major scenes. Moving on is a featurette on the CGI of the movie (35 minutes). It is just an extension of the behind the scenes with more talking about the CGI. There is a featurette on robot behaviour (35 minutes) which is not bad but a little boring. The last featurette (31 minutes) is about the 3 laws of robots. It is kind of boring. I could not sit still while watching this one. Lastly, there are deleted scenes (6 minutes) which add up to nothing and more behind the scenes with CGI (12 minutes). I took a while watching this extensive special features.

Review: "G-Force DVD review"

Not a bad kid flick. Too bad that the DVD does not contain the 3D version of the movie. The 2D is still as interesting as the 3D version anyway.

This is kind of disappointing. There is almost no making of/behind the scenes. There are two featurettes. One is about the weapons and stuffs they used in the movie (5 minutes) which is lame. This featurette is only for kids. Another one is about a kid talking about the idea of this movie (4 minutes) which is mildly interesting. There is bloopers (2 minutes) which is not bad but it is a little too short. There are three music video (9 minutes) which are also not bad. The last one is....not that rocking. Deleted scenes (6 minutes) which are just extended scenes and are also mildly interesting. Lastly, the advertisement of Blu-ray (4 minutes) which makes me want to buy. Disappointing special features.

Review: "Yoga DVD review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is one of the latest korean horror movie. It isn't that bad as it does not actually feature ghosts, there are only creepy women who smile like some retards. It also shows the ugly side of people when they are obsessed. In this movie, they are obsessed with their faces! Bunch of retards. They are mostly pretty women who want to even make themselves more prettier. Like how? By doing yoga but when they break the rules meant not to be broken, serious ass things happen. Yap-Yap, the usual korean horror movie. At least it is better than Cinderella, another korean horror movie which is crap dull.

Nothing. There are two trailers (3 minutes) which cannot be skipped. Even the quality of the movie sucks, it is not even sharp.

Review: "Austin Powers in Goldmember DVD review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is quite funny. Mike did a perfect job in playing all of his roles, Austin, Dr Evil etc. He is quite funny. This latest movie which is made in 2002 may not the funniest or the best Austin Powers movie but it makes full use of its entertainment. I find it a little random though.
DVD special features-Rating: 3.5/5
They are quite extensive for a one-disc edition. They are divided into two major sections, Beyond the movie and All-Access pass. Beyond the movie has four short featurettes (12 minutes) which are pretty interesting with the background information. All-Access pass has numberous of featurettes and stuff. There are deleted scenes (22 minutes) which is basically useless, they are only funny and add nothing to the story. There are four featurettes (15 minutes) covering on the characters in Austin Powers in one section. There are another few featurettes (20 minutes) on the behind the scenes, anotomy of three scenes and cars featured. There is featurette on visual effects (4 minutes). Then there are some music videos (12 minutes) which are not that good, I wouldn't listen to them again. Lastly, there are trailers (6 minutes) which are wacky. Phew, pretty good for a one-disc editon.

Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D season 2 TV review" Season 2 has improved greatly. Starting straight from the massive cliffhanger in season 1, season 2 is more tense, action-packed, darker and better paced. I think season 1 took its time to introduce its characters before diving into the action. The time is spread out to individual characters' development. More twists and turns make the season a stark improvement. Episode 1-22: Skye has discovered her powers and is learning how to cope with it. Meanwhile, the team has its problems. Coulson seems to be hiding secrets. In fact, everybody has secrets. More powers are unleashed. It is a little surprising that Marvel is bold enough to veer the series to a darker tone by amping up the number of deaths and more violence. The whole season has little humour and moves at a brisk pace without really pausing. As the tension between human and superhuman increases by each episode, it is an exciting season that w
Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "From Vegas To Macau 2 movie review" "Loads of fun in Wong Jing's bigger sequel." Wong Jing is back with more madness, action, explosion and a longer runtime. As every sequel tries to top its original in every way, From Vegas To Macau 2 is no different. Lots of explosion, lots of wacky humour and more CGI, if these are your entertainment, the movie will do you no wrong. From the opening gun fight to the CGI climax, the story is kept brisk to keep your attention in check. The story: Chow Yun-fat is back as the titular gambler, Ken, with the magic hand. This time, the movie exaggerates his skills with CGI poker cards until it almost becomes a fantasy. But that's to be expected in a Wong Jing's movie. This time, the location is shifted to Thailand where Mark (Nick Cheung), an accountant in a money-laundering syndicate, DOA, is chased by Interpol and DOA. Ken has to save him and help his protege, Vincent (Shawn Yue). Wong Ji
Rating: 4/5 Review: "The Hobbit: An unexpected Journey 3D movie review" This is the highly anticipated prequel to The Lords of the Ring movies. As a stand alone movie, it does pretty well to engage audiences with its great special effects and fantasy creatures. I cannot compare this with the first trilogy as I can hardly remember it although I will catch it later. But as it seems, this is more lighter than the serious first trilogy. Sure this has its fair share of intense battles but this is more light-heart. The story: With a runtime of 2 hours and 49 minutes, you can be sure that this will take its sweet time to get the adventure going which is true. After a brief action-packed introduction, the movie moves slower. The first half and hour sees a hobbit's unwillingness to go for an adventure as the other dwarves plan to steal their treasures and take what is rightfully theirs. After the hobbit agrees, the fantasy adventure starts and following it are dangers.
