Review: "The Vampire Diaries Season 1 DVD review"

This was a huge hit on TV back in 2009. It is clear to see why it has become a popular series that it has its own spin-off, The Originals. With Vampires invading the big and small screens, The Vampire Diaries does its job by spinning its own world that engages audiences. It is worth the watch and is fairly entertaining. It has everything that a TV series should have: Suspense, romance, good-looking stars, decent production looks. It ends with an extreme cliffhanger which makes me want to immediately get Season 2.

DVD special features-Rating: 3.5/5
There are several special features featured in the Season 1 Box set. Firstly, the main meat of the special feature is Into Mystic Falls (25 minutes) which is the making of with producers and cast discussing about bringing the pages into life. It is a decent making of. Next is When Vampires don't suck (19 minutes) which is about how the producers trying to please the huge fan base. A new breed of Vampires (13 minutes) is the producers and cast discussing the new things The Vampire Diaries brings on the table. Vampire 101 (6 minutes) is a pointless featurette which shows the cast discussing about the vampires in the series. A pointless A Darker Truth Webisodes (8 minutes) which is boring. There is a funny Gag Reel (4 minutes) which shows the cast fumbling with their lines. There are deleted scenes that can be accessed through individual episodes. The surprisingly special feature on the disc is the audiobook which rounds up the decent features.

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.
