Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "Halloween 2007 DVD review" Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Crow Zero DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Halloween 2007 is a remake of the original. I have not watched the original but I will watch it. Anyway, this movie is a remake and a prequel to the original so no harm not watching the original before this. It is entertaining to see how the killer, Michael became a cold-blooded killer. Yes, there is violence and blood and sex and nudity and language. But it does not really have the one thing that most slasher movies try to have and that is the suspense. Though there is not much suspense, it has thrills. DVD special features-Rating: 3/5 It has trailers including its own trailer for the movie and for The Mist (2 minutes). The DVD also includes interviews (25 minutes) and behind the scenes (18 minutes). The interviews are not bad as it is interesting to hear the cast and crew's

Rating: 3.4/5 Review: "The Spiderwick Chronicles DVD review" Rating: 2.9/5 Review: "Shaolin Girl DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The spiderwick Chronicles is a fun and entertaining movie. You get to see monsters, magical creatures etc. Special effects are good, the story is simple but entertaining. The 1 hour and 35 minutes movie manages to entertain with its magical creatures, intense action scenes and evil monsters. It is worth the watch. DVD special features-Rating: 2/5 Yuck! Why did this entertaining movie get such crap extras? Can't the extra even be decent? The extras include a simple making of (8 minutes) and a featurette of Spiderwick Chronicles' world (7 minutes). The rest is yuck! You get to explore the creatures' design and bio. And these are all. The making of is okay and simple. I am surprised that it did not cover on the special effects. The featurette is boring and

Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "State of play DVD review" Rating: 3.4/5 Review: "Bangkok Dangerous DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- State of play is actually an entertaining thriller. I feel that at some point, it feels a little slow but in end, it is fine as the pace is actually fast and the twists will come one by one. Soon, as the movie ends, the biggest twist is revealed. I was not expecting that. 2 hours and 7 minutes is a fine runtime for a thriller like this. DVD special features-Rating: 3/5 The DVD features a making of/featurette (18 minutes) and deleted scenes (9 minutes). The featurette is interesting and shows you behind the scenes and how they design the office. They also talk about how they adapt from the original series that this is based on. Deleted scenes are blah but they provide some detailed things. Bangkok Dangerous is a remake of a thai movie. The thing is it is also directed by th

Rating: 3.7/5 Review: "2012 movie review" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2012 is a thrilling and emotional ride. The CGI is the one that stands out. The detruction scenes are quite realistic, destroying everything in sight and leaving nothing spared. Acting including the children's is also quite good. 2012 is 2 and an half hour of pure destruction and I enjoyed seeing it. The story: It starts off a little slow but when it comes to the second destruction/disaster, the pace becomes faster due to the thrilling escapes from the disasters. It is a about a family struggling to survive from the natural and huge desturctions. They meet some other characters. The usual plot in a disaster movie. Though the CGI of the destructions are good, some of the emotional scenes are good as well. The music goes well especially during the emotional scenes. Enjoy seeing countries being smashed up! HA HA! Bring out the little kid in you.

Rating: 3.1/5 Review: "Prom Night DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is just as good as renting it. The remake has nothing new to look at except the suspense but even that, it is still pretty weak. It is a little intense with many shock scenes (obviously in a horror/thriller movie) and it has its fair share of suspense. Surprisingly, there are some light moments considering that has a serious story and killer. It is definitely not for the gore hounds, if gore is the only thing they want to watch this, even the unrated edition features little blood. The story: Moving on to thrills and suspense, it does deliver these but they are not very heavy. There is little thrills: you see the killer's face clearly and at most of the time, the camera will show what the killer will do next. Blah. That kills the suspense. There are shock scenes which are predictable, in fact, most of them are predictable. Overall:

Rating: 3.4/5 Review: "Kamen Rider Cho Den-O and Decade movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Den-O is a really popular character in Kamen Rider, after his third movie, a forth one appears. I feel that he is too over-rated but whatever it is, his new movie still entertains. The new movie is not as good as his past movies and that is because I am a little sick in seeing him taking the spotlight. As the title states," Cho Den-O and Decade" I thought I would see Decade in some kick-ass action but no, he is just a background character-he appears for less than 15 minutes! To see some real action of Decade, I should wait for his real movie that came later this year. The story: It has nothing special...the only thing exciting is the CGI battle between the Den liner and a battleship. This time, the action is not very exciting. I could say that this is not a very good Kamen Rider movie. Yes, it has non-stop
