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: 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: 3.5/5 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...
