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.

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: 3.4/5 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...
Rating: 3.7/5 Review: "Fantastic Four movie review" "A decent gritty reboot that could have been something more than what it is now." This is Josh Trank's first big budget movie and it seems he is slightly inexperienced of directing a movie of a massive scale. Fresh from directing a small budget movie, Chronicle, it seems that he is overwhelmed by whatever happened (there are rumours that Matthew Vaughn was brought in to reshoot). Nonetheless, on the whole, the reboot is an alright movie that rehashes on the tired superhero origin. It is disappointing that it is a little shallow. I think with a longer runtime, it could benefit the characters' development and flow of the story. The story: Apparently, the writers of the film said that it does not follow any story from the source material. Instead, a new origin is created. I didn't exactly know how the original source material goes (I read a couple of Fantastic Four comic books to know the tone ...
