Review: "Fireball movie review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hong Kong has its own kung Fu basketball movie, Kung Fu dunk by Jay Chou. Now, Thailand has its own Kung Fu basketball movie, Fireball. The good news is that it is better than the empty Kung Fu dunk which has nothing to do with Kung Fu or basketball. Though, it is better, it is not very good...when it comes to the action/fight scenes, the camera work becomes frentic and I could not take a proper look at how they are fighting. The camera work is shaky and it shakes like a mad dog itching to get close to the action but could not so as it avoids being hit by the actors doing some manic stunts.
The story: It starts up with some confusing story line. You see someone goes out of jail and later sees him visiting someone whom is his brother. Blah, he joins a violent basketball game where the players are supposed to knock the others holding the basketball. I see that the game basketball is misused, why not let them fight without playing basketball. They are just holding it like something like shit and it is liked being forced to hold it. The M-18 rated movie shows brutal and violent fight scenes, the usual thai fighting movies and tries to mix them with drama. I am not saying the drama does not work but it is just better if they went straight to the point in this 1 hour and 32 minutes movie.
Overall: It is not bad but it can get a bit dull, even the actors' expressions are dull. This low-budget movie may not match up to superior movies like Ong Bak, Tony Jaa's movies etc. but at least it proves itself to be entertaining. That is all what you can ask from this.

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.
