Review: "Kingdom of Heaven DVD review"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fast and Furious is the forth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise. I have seen all of the movies. This is not much different than the others just that this has some new sleek cars. The story is simple enough and the action/racing is the thrills. That is all I want from the franchise. Thrilling and action-packed plot and cool action scenes. Yep, this pretty much delivers.
DVD special features-Rating: 3/5
The features are not bad on a 1 disc DVD. There is a gag reel (5 minutes) which is not exactly funny but has some entertainment values like Paul Walker keeps laughing for no reason. There are numberous of featurettes (24 minutes). Two featurettes focusing on cars and casts. One is Vin's driving test and the other is making of the movie.
Kingdom of Heaven is a good piece of epic movie. Though there is only one major war scene, the rest of the runtime thrills me. Though its long runtime, 2 hours and 25 minutes, the pace is considerably fast and seldom drags. The music is epic too. Acting is convincing enough. Its DVD cover and poster made me think that this has non-stop action and I was wrong. But in the end, I was massively entertained.
DVD special features-Rating: 4/5
The features are good and detailed. There are two featurettes about the history (1 hours and 30 minutes) which is awesome. It is good to know the history of this story. There is a detailed making of (1 hours and 32 minutes) which is good too. There are some small things like a net featurette (9 minutes) and trailer (2 minutes). Good DVD.

Rating: 4.5/5 Review: "Man of Steel movie review" With all the hype from the trailers, I must say this is what it looks to be expected. I have to say that this is the biggest and epic superhero movie yet. This treats destructions like child's play. It is also the most explosive superhero movie. There are so much explosions that they could literally make you exhausted from watching all those. Although this is directed by Zack Snyder, this does not have much of his trademark except the visuals. His slo-mo trademark is not featured. Instead, the action is rapid fast. Man of Steel is a good entertainment with exciting action scenes and visuals but at the same, a somehow touching human drama. The story: We get an extended opening scene on Krypton where Kal-El is just born. However the planet is going to be destroyed with General Zod adding to the problem. To save Kal-El, he has to be sent to another planet known as Earth. What is interesting about the movie that it do...

Rating: 3.5/5 Review: Taken DVD review Taken is a new action movie that makes the audiences want more hard and gritty action flicks. I can see that now. Taken has the drama (Yawn!) and the realistic action (Like the Borne movies). Clocking at only 1 and a half hour, the movie starts off slow with drama. After half and hour pass, it goes straight to the intensity and non-stop realistic action. I don't like the slow start. As it is only 1 and a half hour, it do not have the time for slow characters' development. It should drive straight to the action, unless it clocks around 2 hours. The story: It seems to be the usual kidnapping movies where the bad guys kidnap some random girl/boy and ask for ransom. But in this, they kidnap young women to become sex-slaves. A father of a kidnapped daughter is enraged and goes to Paris where his daughter is. "I will find you! I will kill you!" He says to the bad guys. He starts punching and kicking people to hell. He kicks men's b...

Rating: 3.8/5 Review: "Resident Evil: Retribution movie review" It was a pity that I did not manage to catch it in 3D. I have no doubt that it looks good in 3D since the previous movie looks good in 3D. To say the truth, Resident Evil: Retribution seems to be nothing special without the amazing 3D like what Resident Evil: Afterlife is. The 5th movie is all about action and suspense, the story is pretty straight-forward. The story: You are a fool if you go and watch a Resident Evil movie expecting good story line and acting. So far, none of the movies in the franchise have these qualities. But they are entertaining to watch because of the action and suspense. This is the most action-packed Resident Evil movie so far. The action scenes are also better and bigger. It is like a kind of compensation for the lack of action in Resident Evil: Afterlife. It is not only filled with action but it is also intense. Music in this is also the best in the franchise; it has a more ep...
