Review: "The Vampire Diaries Season 1 DVD review"

This was a huge hit on TV back in 2009. It is clear to see why it has become a popular series that it has its own spin-off, The Originals. With Vampires invading the big and small screens, The Vampire Diaries does its job by spinning its own world that engages audiences. It is worth the watch and is fairly entertaining. It has everything that a TV series should have: Suspense, romance, good-looking stars, decent production looks. It ends with an extreme cliffhanger which makes me want to immediately get Season 2.

DVD special features-Rating: 3.5/5
There are several special features featured in the Season 1 Box set. Firstly, the main meat of the special feature is Into Mystic Falls (25 minutes) which is the making of with producers and cast discussing about bringing the pages into life. It is a decent making of. Next is When Vampires don't suck (19 minutes) which is about how the producers trying to please the huge fan base. A new breed of Vampires (13 minutes) is the producers and cast discussing the new things The Vampire Diaries brings on the table. Vampire 101 (6 minutes) is a pointless featurette which shows the cast discussing about the vampires in the series. A pointless A Darker Truth Webisodes (8 minutes) which is boring. There is a funny Gag Reel (4 minutes) which shows the cast fumbling with their lines. There are deleted scenes that can be accessed through individual episodes. The surprisingly special feature on the disc is the audiobook which rounds up the decent features.

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...
