Quick DVD reviews Rating: 4/5 Review: "Sherlock Holmes DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is quite good with the blend of action, suspense, thriller with the touch of humor. DVD special features-3.5/5 In USA, it only gets the one disc edition which means there is only a featurette as special features. In Singapore, we get lucky. There is the 2-disc edition available. It features a long featurette about creating the new Sherlock Holmes (14 minutes). The rest are small featurettes (29 minutes) which touch on some areas of the movie. They are pretty informative. Though they are not as detailed as they should be, it is fine. At least better than the USA edition. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rating: 4/5 Review: "Phobia 2 DVD review" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The five stories are quite entertaining...

Rating: 4/5 Review: "How to Train Your Dragon movie review" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am surprised I would enjoy this more than I thought I would. The 3D is also quite good. DreamWork movies keep improving. I like this better than its last movie, Monsters Vs Aliens. With an epic score by John Power, cute dragons and cool 3D, nothing can go wrong. Well, the plot does engage me too. I am surprised by its little time on dwelling with emotions as what Pixar/DreamWork movies usually do, instead it goes for the action-packed adventure with slapstick. The 3D are at my standards. It is not very mind-blowing but it is cool. With 3D action in front of your face. Wow, is that amazing? Why should it not? 3D movies are the trend. There are more 3D movies releasing like Clash of Titans, Tron Legacy etc. obviously there are many more. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Quick DVD Reviews Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "Transporter 2 DVD review" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is fast-paced with some cool action scenes. DVD special features-3.4/5 It has long deleted and extended scenes (20 minutes) which show some background information, small details and more action. It is worth a watch. The making of (4 minutes) is a short one with the usual interviews and behind the scenes. Nothing special and it is short for any interesting information. Surprisingly, the featurette on the music (10 minutes) is longer than the making of. I have no idea what the eng dub version is talking about. The over-lapping of the english dub on the original french version is horrible. It does not follow the mouths. Lastly, there are previews (3 minutes), one is on Night Watch. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Rating: 3.3/5 Review: "Universial Soldiers Regeneration DVD...

Rating: 4.1/5 Review: "Alice In Wonderland 3D movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am kind of surprised I enjoyed this 3D movie. I actually did not expect much from Tim Burton's movie. I may the only one who is not very interested in his movies. This just pipe my interest as I am interested in seeing how his version of Alice will be like. I went to see it with low expectations and instead I enjoyed it. The 3D effect has helped to enhance the movie by giving the feeling of places in the movie. The story: It is sort of a sequel but Tim said it is not. So whether it is sequel or not, I look at it as a stand-alone movie. I like his version of Alice, the pace is brisk and I did not feel bored (The 3D helps). I find this more engaging than the cartoon by Disney too and one of the TV apdatation. The characters here are more likable. As the usual Tim's movies, this movie is a little dark with some intense...

Quick DVD Reviews Rating: 3.3/5 Review: "Amalfi DVD review" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first half of the 2 hours and 4 minutes movie is a little slow which was kind of disappointing, I expected a fast-paced thriller from reading the summary. Luckily, the last half moves in fast pace and is exciting. Overall: Because of the first half, the plot kind of drags which makes it less enjoyable but still entertains. DVD special features-0/5 As usual from a Japanese movie DVD, it features nothing. That I don't mind but even the quality is not very good. It is like the standard of a VCD. The english subtitles are embedded onto the movie...This is definitely not a good effort made. `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "Zombieland DVD review" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I feel ...

Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "The Wolfman movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To be frank, I had had not much expectations of The Wolfman and I have only gain a bit of interest about it this year when it was nearing the release date. I am not much of a werewolf fan. I walked into the movie without any high expectations, I just knew it was going to entertain me no matter what. I was right...but it exceeded my low expectations. There is a balance of action, drama and thrills. It is good fun. The story: It is quite simple actually. The first scene has a man running away from the wolfman. Cue to the title. And then we soon find out that the man killed is Lawrence Talbot's brother. Obviously, Talbot will be bitten by the wolfman and becomes one himself. There is some action here and there, it is not action-packed though. Surely there is carnage. There is blood when the wolfman appears. There is a little twist whic...

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "The Final Destination 3D DVD review" Rating: 3.8/5 Review: "My Bloody Valentine 3D DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Final Destination DVD is awesome. It includes both the 2D and 3D versions. 2D should not be a problem to watch. The 3D is quite cool. It is better than the old 3D movies like Spy Kid 3D. Though it is DVD, the 3D effects stand out. It does really give me a sense of 3D in the movie. It is like the characters stand out from the background. It is quite cool. DVD special features-Rating: 3/5 Having both 2D and 3D versions is good enough. There are some 3D movies that don't get the same treatment, they are 3D in cinema but on DVD, they are not. There are previews (7 minutes) of movies like WhiteOut, Halo Legends and advertisements. There are also deleted scenes (7 minutes). The deleted scenes are not bad, some of them show more bloo...
