Review: "Alice in Wonderland DVD review"
-------------------------------------------------------
When I had watched this in cinema with 3D, I gave it 4 because the 3D is kind of cool and is a plus point for the movie. But when the movie comes out on DVD, the feeling of being blown away is not there maybe because of the 3D effect. Still, it is entertaining for 2D.
DVD special features-Rating: 3/5
There are three brief featurettes. One is about on The Mad hatter (6 minutes) on about Johnny and the director/producers discussing his role. Another one is about creating the Wonderland with CGI (6 minutes). The last one is on finding Alice (6 minutes) on about the actress and director talking about how Alice should be played in the movie.

Review: "Clash of the Titans DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------
This is a movie where the 3D does not look good. When I watched this in cinema, there were barely any 3D effects. The chinese subtitles which are in 3D are distracting and cover some of the action; they are like in the middle of the screen. It comes out on 2D DVD and I am not surprised. Anyway, unlike Alice in Wonderland, this one still has the thrills and is replayable.
DVD special features-Rating: 3.5/5
There are deleted scenes (18 minutes) which are long but add nothing to the story. They will only slow down the story. Focus points which are small featurettes (36 minutes total) are not bad but a little too brief. One featurette lasts around 2-3 minutes. They focus on some stuff in the movie like creating Kraken and the other monsters in this movie. There is a featurette on creating the hero (8 minutes) which talks about the main star talking about getting into the role of the main hero. Lastly, another featurette which is a TV special (24 minutes) is almost like the focus points with a bit more footage.

Review: "Ninja Assassin DVD review"
----------------------------------------------------
Rain acts as the lean-muscled ninja who runs away from his clan and is surviving not so well with other ninjas coming to kill him. Blood is spilled and there is a lot of blood and it is CGI. The fight scenes are cool but are few. The first hour has no impressive fight scenes and only tells background information of where Rain is from and how he is trained. Then there is a girl, I don't know what is her true purpose, helping Rain and screaming. Overall: It could have done without the subplot of the girl helping him. I would want more ninjas fighting. Plus this is edited for a M-18 rating...
DVD special features-Rating: 3/5
There are deleted scenes (7 minutes) which are pointless to the movie. There is a featurette on training Rain to get him fit for the role (9 minutes) which is interesting as you can see how hard he train to get his abs.

Review; "14 Blades DVD review"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I saw the trailer, I was impressed thinking it could be great. Alas when I finished watching the movie, I couldn't help to be disappointed. The fighting scenes are okay, they are not what I expected when watching the trailer. I thought Donnie could do some impressive stunts but he didn't really show them here. The story is a bit muddle-headed but still okay. At least, it didn't turn out to be boring. Still, the fight scenes are better than in some movies.
DVD special features-Rating: 2.5/5
A making of (17 minutes) with no english subtitles. It is basically the usual making of. It has interviews with cast and crew and behind the scenes. That is all. Nothing much. There is a trailer of the movie (2 minutes).

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.
