Review: "Batman: Gotham Knight DVD review"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 2D animated movie has six different stories which are interesting on their own. The stories are fast-paced and some of them are action-packed due to the short runtime. The whole movie is only 1 hour and 16 minutes. Some of the famous villians are featured like Scarecrow and the Lizard. The six different stories also have their different styles, Batman seems like a fat monster in one of the story and he is a sleak man in black in another. Overall: It is a good watch even for those who are not a Batman fan but are into the recent live-action Batman movies.
DVD special features-3.7/5
The second disc features two good and informative featurettes. One is about the villans of Batman (36 minutes). The writers and producers explain some of the famous villians like Joker and Scarecrow. The interesting facts are that they even explain how the villians come about. The other interesting featurette is about Bob Kane, the creator of Batman (38 minutes). It shows footage of him and talks about how he came about reaching fame by creating Batman. Stan Lee, his friend, even talks about him. Lastly, there are four episodes from the Batman animated series (1 hour and 26 minutes) which are okay.

Review: "The love guru DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This movie is stupid funny but even that, it can't get much chuckles from me. Mikes Myers plays the love guru who is quite successful. But he is not the top love guru and wants to be. He accepts the request of bringing the lover back to a famous hockey player who is distracted by the loss of his lover. Slapsticks and dirty jokes like people fighting with mops soaked with urine or elephants humping each other. They are not funny but are gross. Mikes Myers is quite entertaining as a love guru. Jessica Alba looks good in screen too. Both of them are barely able to outweight the typical story filled with lame jokes.
DVD special features- 3/5
There are three featurettes. One is about the making of the movie (9 minutes) where Mikes Myers disturbingly says that he has been thinking of the idea long time ago. There is a featurette on playing ice hockey (6 minutes) which looks into the actors trainning to play ice hockey. The last featurette is on creating the prosthetic elephant (5 minutes) which is interesting because in the movie, it looks like the two elephants are really humping each other. There are deleted scenes (13 minutes) which is a bore, only the last one about Mikes Myers and Jessica Alba are in bed and she says "Damn!". A pointless outtakes (10 minutes) which acts almost like deleted scenes or alternative scenes. Another outtakes by the two hosts (5 minutes) in the game which is slightly amusing.

Review: "Old cow eat tender grass DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an okay local movie which is actually quite pointless. With the short running time of 1 hour and 30 minutes, it is impossible to care for the characters and whether they get together. The movie focuses on two characters who are taxi drivers falling in love with younger women. Since it is focused on the two characters, the running time seems to be shorten and in the end, there is not much of characters' development and you won't care if they end up together. The local humor is slightly funny and that broken english/singlish is used often as a joke.
DVD special features- 2.5/5
There is a sole making of (23 minutes) and yeah, it does show how the dog managed to lick the actor's tongue. During the movie, I thought it was gross and wanted to know how did they do that. Then the rest of the making of is standard, the director surprisingly spoke cantonese in it. There is a trailer (2 minutes) which is already shown in the making of.

Review: "Bruce Lee, my brother DVD review"
----------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, this should be known as a drama and not as an action flick like the Ip Man movies. The director showed Bruce Lee's younger life before he went to USA. The 2 hours and 4 minutes movie moves briskly, thankfully. You will get to see the romance and the triangle love between Bruce, his friend and a girl. Blah Blah. Typical. The last half an hour features some brutal fight scenes, the boxing match and the rematch. Then the climax has a slightly intense chase scene between Bruce and a gang. Overall: It is an interesting movie with unknown Bruce Lee facts; I don't know Bruce Lee well.
DVD special features-3/5
There is a sole making of (19 minutes) which covers some topic like doing the fight scenes and some goofy moments with the cast. It also comes with english subtitles and I could understand it better. There is also trailers of the movie.
