Review: "Alvin and The Chipmunks 2 DVD review"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seeing it widely panned by critic and audience is wow. Don't you know this is meant for kids. When the kids enjoy it, it means this has done its job. For me, it is not too bad. The chipmunks are cute. But the songs are....well, too rocking. I am not saying that the songs are horrible to the ears but they are definitely not as good as the songs in the first movie. Other the songs, everything else is alright. It is alright to watch on DVD and i don't think I would catch it again.
DVD special features-Rating: 3.5/5
The special features are not bad. There are many music videos (20 minutes) which I did not hear all of them and would not hear them again. Then come the featurettes on the second disc. They are good in letting me know the chipmunks' past. There is a featurette(9 minutes) on how it has progressed from the many years since they were created. The interesting featurette (8 minutes) is on about the Chipettes, the female chipmunks. Then the rest are the usual, covering on the special effects on the chipmunks (5 minutes) and music stars in the movie (16 minutes) and finally a dance tutorial video on how to dance the moves in the movie (8 minutes) which is lame. I don't know whether the dance moves are geared toward kids or teenagers.

Review: "Push DVD review"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The movie is kind of thrilling when I first watched it. The last half of the movie is intense and is filled with suspension and twists. Push is about two people with superpowers on the run from the bad guys. Yeah, the story may seem simple but there are suspense and twists that kept me watching it till the credits.
DVD special features-Rating: 2/5
The special features are disappointing somewhat. There are trailers (10 minutes). There are deleted scenes (4 minutes) which belong to the deleted scenes. Finally there is a featurette (9 minutes) which is sadly not about the making of the movie, it is just about the director researching on the humans with powers.

Review: "Where Wild Things Are DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was interested in this movie as the reviews of this are mostly positive and I was interested in how the boy, Max, deals with his sad life. I understand the positive reviews. It is emotionally touching and gloomy. But I can't stand the annoying brat, Max, who is always throwing tantrum and even bite his mother. What the hell? Though the boy is around 10 years old, he does not know how to contain his freaking anger and goes around smashing things up. Sad life. Other than the boy, there is not much of a story but it shows the emotions of the characters and how they deal with it. This is gloomy for kids and I am not sure if kids even feel like seeing this.
DVD special features-Rating: 2.5/5
There are some short featurettes (13 minutes). One interesting featurette is on how they filmed the dog running and barking at the same time. Surprisingly, they encountered a lot of troubles.

Review: "The Conspiracy DVD review"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not so bad. There are twists and thrills in this. It may not be that predictable if you have not seen Eagle Eye. I find Eagle Eye better but still this is enjoyable and make time pass.
DVD special features-Rating:0/5
Obviously none when the USA edition does not have any special features.
