Review: "Street Fighter the Legend of Chun Li DVD review"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, it is based on the popular game. Video-game movies seldom have many good reviews. It is just the fans critizing them for not staying close to the games, this one is no different. Luckily, I am not a hard-core gamer, I don't even play video games. This Street Fighter movie is okay. Its fight scenes are the one that stand out in the movie. Other than that, there is hardly anything to speak of. The acting by Chris Klein is horrible. One of the worst acting I ever saw. When he appears, the movie becomes a comedy. What the hell! It is supposed to be serious but when this dude appears with bored over-acting, I started smiling. Overall, it is good if Chris is not in the movie.
DVD special features-Rating: 3.5/5
It has some cool features. It features deleted scenes (15 minutes) which are nothing much except the last scene with Rose with superpower. There is a preview on the upcoming game (2 minutes). Then comes the featurettes. One is on creating the movie (17 minutes) which is kind of interesting to heard the crew's past with the game. One is on creating Chun-Li (6 minutes), Kris is not bad but lack the shape. Finally, the last one is on creating a scene (9 minutes), the making of the back alley fight. Interesting featurettes.

Review: "Johnny English DVD review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rowan is funny...his Mr Bean role is funny. His Johnny English is an idiot but funny. With the short runtime of 1 hour and 27 minutes, it moves briskly with gags added into it. I am glad that they have decided to make a sequel.
DVD special features-Rating: 3/5
There are only two things, one is a making of and another is deleted/extended scenes. The making clocks around less than half and hour but it is pretty good. Rowan discussing on how he wanted to play his character. The deleted scenes are boring, I can see why they are deleted. They will only slow down the pace.

Review: "The Eye DVD review"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jessica Alba stars in the remake of the chinese horror movie. I haven't watched the original but the remake is not bad. Although there are not much tense scenes, the pace moves reasonably and does not dwell on the emotions. As usual, some of the shock scenes are over-used. For god's sake, those scare scenes are cheap. Jessica's acting is okay, overall, the acting is not bad. The music is surprisingly good. One of the better remakes I have seen even though I don't watch the original movies.
DVD special features-Rating: 0/5
Nothing and nothing...but at least, the movie is sharp and clear.

Review: "Friday the 13th DVD review"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Again, this is another remake of the slasher movie. It is nothing new actually. The kills are kind of boring, nothing new. The suspense is mild. The only thing this stands out from the usual remakes is the sex scenes, there are two of them and they are graphic for a remake. That is all. But I am interested on seeing whether the main leads will survive or will they perish. The usual cheap scare scenes are annoying as well. Overall: It is okay to watch on a boring day.
DVD special features-Rating: 3.5/5
The deleted/extended scenes (8 minutes) are nothing but it is interesting to see the scenes that are shot differently. The two featurettes (22 minutes) are interesting. The cast and crew talk on how the reboot came about and making of the movie. But the most interesting thing is on the cast and crew sharing their experiences when watching the original. All the special features have english subtitles.
