Review: "Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End DVD review"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The third installment for the Pirates of the Carribean franchise. There is even a forth movie coming. I wouldn't blame them as the movies were big money grabbers. As usual, this contains huge fantasy sets, especially the last battle scene. The pace moves reasonably for a movie with a runtime of almost 3 hours. Han Zimmer's music is epic too.
DVD special features-Rating: 2/5
This one disc edition only contains bloopers (5 minutes) which is at least worth to watch and some previews (3 minutes). Other than those, nothing else. All the featurettes are packed into the special edition.

Review: "The lovely bones DVD review"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Peter Jackson returns with a fantasy drama. And it receives negative reviews from both critics and audience. This usually happen for a movie based on a book. For me, it is rather okay for me, I didn't read the book. Critics say that this relies more on special effects than the story. The story is rather simple. Emotions are focused in this. With people....showing emotions...Mark Walberg is a father who finds out her daughter's killer. All the emotional stuff happen.
DVD special features-Rating: 0/5
Nothing. Not even trailers. The almost 3 hours bonus features are on Blu-Ray DVD. Not fair.

Review: "Superhero movie DVD review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This spoof obviously spoofs superhero flicks. Basically, it spoofs Spider-man. It is one of the better spoof movie. Some of the jokes are lame like the farting jokes but there are some which is kind of funny. Overall, it has its hit and miss. Some jokes work but some do not. Now, the spoof movies seem to cease...who know when the next will come. But I wouldn't mind a second Superhero movie.

None again. The quality of the video seems be a little darkened. Not the best nor the worst quality. It is somehow disappointing. And it is also cut. My god, cut version. Not good.

Review: "The Wolfman Extended Cut DVD review"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have seen The Wolfman in cinema and now on DVD. The Extended Cut adds another 17 minutes into the movie. It does not really add any gore but it does add in background information. Those who says that the cinema version is disjointed and does not have much character development, the extended cut may please. Most of the added 17 minutes are in beginning of the movie which means the wolfman transformation is pushed back. Those eager to see the wolfman transformation may just want to stick to the cinema version. For me, the Extended Cut is just worth seeing once. I would stick to the cinema version. The extended cut includes notable footage of Lawence being asked for help to find out what has happened to his brother.
DVD special features-Rating: 2/5
It only contains deleted/extended scenes (11 minutes) and previews (5 minutes). The deleted/extended scenes are worth a watch. It seems that those are just to dispose of and not being added to the extended cut. They offer nothing much just some extended action scenes which are really extended and background story of the servant. As usual, the featurettes are on Blu-Ray DVD.

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: 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.
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
