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 it is only for kids who can't get enough of this fantasy world. All we get is 15 minutes of extras. Disappointing.
Shaolin Girl is *yawn* but it is not that boring. It is disappointing, no real action until the last part of the movie. And even that, the fight is not good. The motion and way they fight are slow until you lose patience and say "What the hell! The story is slow and even the action is slow!" and you throw the DVD cover at the screen. "F the director! He can't even create a decent fight scene." It spends a lot of time on girl's sport and obviously the comedy is weird. There is a fat ass who likes eggs so much that he...sucks the egg yolk when the egg is cracked. Overall, it is bearable but disappointing. It cannot even deliver the action scenes.

The DVD is shit! No special features! Not only the movie is disappointing, the DVD is also disappointing. F this DVD. This thing is an outrage!

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.
