Rating: 3.2/5 Review: "The last exorcism DVD review"


This has pontential to be a scary and creepy movie but it never lives up to it. The reason is that there are stupid characters that make you not want to care what the hell will happen to them. The exorcism is actually a fraud made by some cheap-ass person who does it for the sake of doing it. When he revealed his plans, I could care less for him to die. He also didn't believe the demon possessing the girl. Until the end. And he finally does something good. The camera man is also annoying. He doesn't respect people's privacy. And for a 1 hour and 22 minutes, the start-up takes almost 30 minutes and the rest is blah. It is only intense for about 15 minutes in the last 30 minutes.

DVD special features- 0/5

Barebone DVD. Not even one feature is found. There are no trailers. There is not even a trailer for the movie.

Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "The Town DVD review"


It is not a bad heist movie. In fact, it is one of the better ones. I remembered watching Takers, another heist movie and I found it not that good. Ben Affleck did an excellent job in playing the main character and also directing the movie. How many directors actually do that? The runtime of 2 hours and 5 minutes is fine, keeping things briskly. There are three action set pieces. They are not bad but a little too short. But climax is fine; a fine shootout between the police and the bank robbers.

DVD special features-2/5

The DVD contains only two short featurettes. One is about the people of charlestown (3 minutes) which tells more information of the location and the real-life people staying there. It is interesting but brief. The last one is about Ben Affleck (7 minutes) about how he juggles two important roles; an actor and a director. Not too bad.

Rating: 3.4/5 Review: "The long distance DVD review"

It is not a bad comedy, it has some laughable jokes but in the end, the story still turns out generic; not much from the comedy category. Drew Barrymore and Justin Long play a couple who has to withstand long distance relationship. They have encountered problems, obviously. But there is still a happy ending, not really but they still manage to have the relationship. Yep, that's about all. The jokes are not bad, some make me laugh and some crude humour make me smile but that do not make up for the generic romance comedy plot.

DVD special features- 2/5

The standard Warner Bros' DVD. Deleted scenes (12 minutes) which are nothing much. The only interesting scenes are the different ideas the two buddies have when Justin's character is thought to be very depressed. One scene show them discussing if he were to die, what would they do. One of them mentions about taking his room. The other scene shows one of them calling a prostitute for him.

Rating: 3.4/5 Review: "Paris Express DVD review"

This is a french movie. The start of the movie may be a bit confusing but as it progresses, the story seems more clearer. It is not really an action movie as the trailer states. There are some mild action including a gun fight and chases. It is also not really that intense considering that this is something like a chase movie. Overall, it is not really worth to watch it if you are familiar with chase movies, this is nothing new. Even in the action department, it offers nothing new.

DVD special features- 0.5/5

A trailer of the movie (2 minutes). At least, it is better than those DVDs with nothing.

Rating: 4.5/5 Review: "Man of Steel movie review" With all the hype from the trailers, I must say this is what it looks to be expected. I have to say that this is the biggest and epic superhero movie yet. This treats destructions like child's play. It is also the most explosive superhero movie. There are so much explosions that they could literally make you exhausted from watching all those. Although this is directed by Zack Snyder, this does not have much of his trademark except the visuals. His slo-mo trademark is not featured. Instead, the action is rapid fast. Man of Steel is a good entertainment with exciting action scenes and visuals but at the same, a somehow touching human drama. The story: We get an extended opening scene on Krypton where Kal-El is just born. However the planet is going to be destroyed with General Zod adding to the problem. To save Kal-El, he has to be sent to another planet known as Earth. What is interesting about the movie that it do...

Rating: 3.5/5 Review: Taken DVD review Taken is a new action movie that makes the audiences want more hard and gritty action flicks. I can see that now. Taken has the drama (Yawn!) and the realistic action (Like the Borne movies). Clocking at only 1 and a half hour, the movie starts off slow with drama. After half and hour pass, it goes straight to the intensity and non-stop realistic action. I don't like the slow start. As it is only 1 and a half hour, it do not have the time for slow characters' development. It should drive straight to the action, unless it clocks around 2 hours. The story: It seems to be the usual kidnapping movies where the bad guys kidnap some random girl/boy and ask for ransom. But in this, they kidnap young women to become sex-slaves. A father of a kidnapped daughter is enraged and goes to Paris where his daughter is. "I will find you! I will kill you!" He says to the bad guys. He starts punching and kicking people to hell. He kicks men's b...

Rating: 3.8/5 Review: "Resident Evil: Retribution movie review" It was a pity that I did not manage to catch it in 3D. I have no doubt that it looks good in 3D since the previous movie looks good in 3D. To say the truth, Resident Evil: Retribution seems to be nothing special without the amazing 3D like what Resident Evil: Afterlife is. The 5th movie is all about action and suspense, the story is pretty straight-forward. The story: You are a fool if you go and watch a Resident Evil movie expecting good story line and acting. So far, none of the movies in the franchise have these qualities. But they are entertaining to watch because of the action and suspense. This is the most action-packed Resident Evil movie so far. The action scenes are also better and bigger. It is like a kind of compensation for the lack of action in Resident Evil: Afterlife. It is not only filled with action but it is also intense. Music in this is also the best in the franchise; it has a more ep...
