Quick DVD reviews Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Austin Powers: International man of mystery DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is the first movie of Austin Powers which is a triology though there are rumours of a forth one. It's funny and entertaining. The jokes are funny and crude (most of the jokes are about sex). This movie is also random at most, with spoofs with mostly the spy genre. The plot is simple and moves briskly along with jokes and gags. DVD special features-2/5 There are deleted scenes (10 minutes) including two alternative endings which are worth a watch. There are star highlights which show the actors and actresses's other movies highlights (6 minutes). They are alright. Surprisingly there are no Mike Myers' highlights. There is a music video of the original animated sequence which plays like a menu. Then there is a trailer of the movie (2 minutes). Other special features are the cast bio and t
Quick DVD reviews Rating: 3.4/5 Review: "King of Fighters DVD review" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gordon Chan's live-action version of the game gets bashed seriously by fans saying it is a disgrace to the game.

There are interviews with Ray Park and Sean Faris (4 minutes) which are brief, they talk about how they play the role. Then there is a three part behind the scenes (7 minutes) which is really brief. Each part touches on one thing like the stunts. Gordon Chan and the producers discuss how they bring the game into
Rating: 4.5/5 Review: "Tron: Legacy 3D movie review" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is probably the last movie I will watch in cinema for the year. Tron Legacy is massively entertaining and is worth to watch it in cinema for its 3D and rocking soundtrack. It is good to see that the last blockbuster I watched for the year turns out to be one of the best movie this year following Inception and Scott Pilgrim Vs the world. The story: It is pretty simple, well, disney's live-action movies usually have simple plot. The 3D, well, is expected to be good. It is almost like the 3D of Avatar, with almost none of the cheap gimicks of things coming straight for you. It has the depth between the characters and the background and shows the action in your face. One of the best thing in this movie is the soundtrack. It is kind of amazing, it matches the movie a lot. It is epic and just amazing. It makes the movie more epic a
