TV Review: "Harper's Island Review" (13 episodes)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have finally finished watching the whole series, the 13 episodes. The story is simple. Even the tagline will tell basically you about the plot outline. 25 people are invited to a wedding. From there, people start dieing. One by one. At least one will die in an episode. Come to the final episode, the killer will be revealed. It is pretty engrossing as it is intense, I would want to know who will die and who the killer is. In the middle of the story, there seems to be some kind of lame supernatural stuffs like things that magically appear and supernatural forces. I thought: 'What the hell! I don't watch this show for supernatural shit. I would rather go watch some cheesy horror movies.' Glad I was wrong.
The killer is a human. But they didn't explain how those supernatural things come about. It is not bad as what other people say, it is just not original. Hey, at least, there is some mystery in order to keep you watching. Not a bad western series, Heroes is another good show. I seldom stay up late to watch western series, even those popular series don't interest me etc. Prison Break, Chuck and many more.
Overall: Harper's Island just interests me for its suspense and mystery. It is good to give a watch. It is quite entertaining. And I can get a break from watching superheroes saving the world from a crazy brain-eating sick-ass guy who knows how to trick everybody. You know, this kind of story gets a bit tired. Currently, I am watching a japanese drama-Bloody Monday.

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: 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: 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.
