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. Well, true to that, the movie's characters actually do not look like the game's characters. I am not a game fan so I watched this without knowing the world of King of Fighters and I got entertained by its fight scenes mashed with CGI effects. However, the $12 million movie does look a bit cheap with its simple plot.
DVD special features-2.5/5
It features some interviews and brief behind the scenes. 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 life. Finally, there is a free football game played by sexy babes (1 hour and 9 minutes) which I didn't bother to watch it because it is boring and has nothing to do with the movie.

Review: "Constantine DVD review"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Without knowing the world of Constantine, I thought this would be a action-packed supernatural movie but I was wrong. Yes, it does contain some neat action scenes but they are few. The climax has no action, just Constantine talking to demons face-to-face. Not sweet. The story is engrossing though, with Contantine willing to help a female cop who has lost her twin sister in a mystery suicide.
DVD special features-3.5/5
The special two-disc edition is packed with extra features. There are deleted scenes (18 minutes) which are boring. Conjuring Constantine (17 minutes) is about the director talking about the comic. The production from hell (15 minutes) is okay. One of the most interesting part is about the weapons used in the movie. Imagining the underworld (28 minutes) is a making of the movie which is standard interviews with cast and crew with behind the scenes. The boring previsuallization (13 minutes) is really pointless. Not bad.

Review: "Altitude DVD review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is not bad as it is pretty intense. A group of young people are trapped in the air with a mysterious force lurking in the darkness. From there, tension started to build as they argue with each other and getting killed off.
DVD special features-3.5/5
It contains one major making of (49 minutes) which is broken down into different parts. It is the standard making of and at least it is not brief. There is a featurette on the special effects (10 minutes) which is pointless. It is like watching the movie fast-forwarding with special effects being added on. There is a picture gallery which is extensive. Alternative ending is also being shown in there. Lastly, there is a trailer (2 minutes) of the movie.

Review: "Sin City DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the violent world of the comic book where people are killed of tortured for no reason. Many characters die. Yup, that's all. There is no message in the movie. Just bullocks and entertainment. Jessica Alba dancing. Woo.
DVD special features-2/5
There is only one featurette (8 minutes) with Robert and Frank Miller talking about how they bring the comic book style to live-action. Cast also talk about the movie. It is brief though. It comes with english subtitles.
