Review: "The Social Network DVD review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This movie recieved very positive reviews from critics and audience alike. It has a high percentage of 96 on rotton tomatoes. I wouldn't say I don't like it but I wouldn't say I like it. I just enjoyed it. The drama about the creator of Facebook moves decently with the runtime of 2 hours. The movie switches from lawsuits scenes to how Mark deals with his Facebook to Mark argueing with his best friend. In the end, it is entertaining but I wouldn't say I like it. And Mark is speaking damn fast like a bullet train spewing smart-ass lines. After the movie, I think of him an ass. Not really an ass, but still an ass.
DVD special features- 3.5/5
The two-disc edition comes with loads of featurettes. I am surprised that I actually enjoyed watching the long making of (92 minutes) which I thought it would be boring. There are other feaurettes about the effects of the movie (7 minutes), the creation of the errie music (18 minutes) and post-production (17 minutes). Then there is music for you to listen, rough cut and finalised. I thought I would skimmed through the features but I am glad I did not.

Review: "The Hole DVD review"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The simple horror movie is entertaining at best. The director mentions that he intended to make this as a family movie. I am not sure how is this a family movie with shocking and one gruesome scenes. There are some creepy scenes too featuring a ghost child. But it wouldn't be that scary for older kids.
DVD special features- 3/5
There is the making of (22 minutes) which is splited into different parts. The making of is nothing interesting, there isn't much behind the scenes too. There are interviews with the cast and crew (12 minutes) which are not impressive. The audio is horrible and the interviews are edited badly. There are useless scenes from the movie (10 minutes)

Review: "Devil DVD review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is an intense movie about five people trapped in a lift in a high-rise building. The short runtime of 1 hour and 20 minutes sees the pace moving fast. Soon, people start dieing and the inevitable conclusion is that someone in the lift is the devil but who? There are twists coming out when things go amok in the confined lift where people suspect each other. The final twist is fine; something I didn't expect. The movie proves to be thrilling and intense till the final twist where the devil appears.
DVD special features- 2/5
There are three deleted scenes (3 minutes) which show background information of three of the people trapped in the lift. They are worth a watch. There are three short featurettes (6 minutes) which are disappointing as they are brief. They seem like promotional featurettes where clips of the movie are mixed with interviews. They are too brief; offer little insights of the movie. They did the worst crime of all. They show only a few seconds of behind the scene footage.

Review: "Spider-man DVD review"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 2002 version is not bad but it offers nothing much except romance and action. Even in the action department, it disappoints. Spider-man 2 and 3 prove to be better movies than the first one. Maybe at that time, it was considered the best superhero movies and a good movie. The reviews agree on that. I disagree on that, maybe that's because I watched this late when great superhero movies were already made like The Dark Knight.
DVD special features- 3/5
The second disc contains usuals like the HBO making of (25 minutes) which is blah and a long featurette on spider-man (40 minutes) which is okay but nothing great either. There are profiles of the director and composer (14 minutes) which are not bad as they are focused on Sam and the composer doing their stuff. There are gag reel (3 minutes) and costumes and auditions of the actors (3 minutes). Then lastly, there is a documentary on spider-man (25 minutes) where Stan Lee, the creator, explains how he created the legendary Marvel hero.

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: 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: 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.
