Review: "The Phantom 2010"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is actually a mini-series but it is edited into a movie which means there are some bad points like some important parts are cut out (No reason). The length of the mini-series is around 2 hours and 40 minutes and it is being cut into a 1 hour and 43 minutes movie which does not make much sense. I have seen the whole mini-series so i do know which parts are cut out like the important introduction of the Phantom Cave, I can't believe it is cut out. On the other hand, all the action scenes are still kept (Phew). The edited movie is not a bad job but it could have been so much better, the length should be 2 hours.
DVD special features-Rating: 1/5
There are only trailers and previews (11 minutes) which include a featurette on District 9. Other than that, I didn't really expect anything.

Review: "Domino DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A movie by Tony Scott. I have no idea why I am attracted to his movies. Perhaps, his movies have styles and big-bang action scenes. Domino does not have big-bang action scenes but it has an interesting story and exploding vehicles. Domino is actually based on the real life bounty hunter, Domino. And I am not sure if it actually follows the real Domino's life, it is pretty interesting how a bounty hunter works. Keira is hot too.
DVD special features-Rating: 3.5/5
There are two featurettes. One interesting featurette is on the real Domino (20 minutes) which is pretty intereting to see how the Domino's life is like. It has interviews with her and her friend, Choco. Another featurette is about how Tony get the colouring of the movie (9 minutes). It shows how hard it is to get the right colour of the movie. It also shows behind the scenes. There are deleted scenes which as usual add nothing to the story line, there is an alternate sex scene??? Lastly, there are two trailers on Domino (3 minutes) to round up the special features.

Review: "Cirque du Freak DVD review"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nothing much to say. I have already wrote a review on it in Jan.
DVD special features-Rating: 3/5
There is a featurette on the making of the movie (19 minutes) which is not bad. The cast and director share information on the making of the movie and adapting it from the book. There is another featurette which tours around the home of the freaks (19 minutes) which shows some information of the characters in the movie. It is okay...not very interesting as it is repeative. There are also deleted scenes (10 minutes) which are the usual which add nothing to the story.

Review: "Prince of Persia: Sand of Time DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have already wrote the review on it in june. The DVD is surprisingly not bad, I could see most of the cool action which I thought I wouldn't on DVD.
DVD special features-2/5
There is only one featurette on the making of the movie (15 minutes) which is standard. It covers stunts ,the story and the locations. Nothing much, just some behind the scenes of the movie. Lastly, there are previews on Disney's upcoming DVDs.
