Review: "Harry Potter and the deathly hallows: part 1 Blu-Ray DVD review"

It is the best Harry Potter movie yet. It is a solid harry potter movie. It is more action-packed and intense than the previous ones which is a surprise as the harry potter movies are not famous for action scenes and this delivers though the action scenes are short.

The story: I find it intense from the start of the movie to the credits rolling. The characters seem suspicious and they are capable of doing anything which make the movie more intense. Harry and his friends are on the run from Vodemort and his evil helpers. Every where they hide, troubles find them. And that is where the director crafts his intense action scenes like harry on his narrow escape from the bad guys. The action scene set in the forest is frenetic and intense but it is too shakey to see the action properely. The acting is good, the trio has believable reationships and emotions. The music is good and epic.

Overall: I can't wait to see the epic showdown of Harry and Vodemort. Part 2 might even be better than this one. It is not a disappointment as I was disappointed with the last movie, the half-blooded prince with its lack of action and intensity.

Blu-Ray DVD special features- 3.5/5

The first disc of the 2 disc edition Blu-Ray DVD features focus points which are small featurettes which can be played all at one (19 minutes). The other feature is a maximum mode which I do not bother watching because the movie needs to be played with it. The second disc has about 1 hour worth of bonus features. There are deleted scenes which are not that good. The worthy feature is the sneak peak behind the second part of the movie which is about 3 minutes of new footage of it. The rest of the runtime is the featurettes; making of. The usual stuff. They touch on some of the important scenes in the movie like the multiple Harry Potters and the forest chase scene. There is a slightly interesting featurette on some of the cast members playing golf...which has nothing to do with the movie. There is the making of the music. Not bad stuff.

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: 4.1/5 Review: "Transformers: Age of Extinction movie review" Michael Bay is back for the forth time in the soon tired franchise. To be honest, I like Michael Bay and enjoyed all of his Transformers movies. But seeing him return to the franchise made me weary. Three times the explosions is enough and yet a forth explosion happens. The good news for this is that it still has fantastic action, explosions, CGI and on top, it has fresh characters to carry the weight. The not so good news is that it has amazingly the longest runtime in the franchise which drags down the whole movie. The story: Michael Bay wanted to start afresh with this. It is clear with the different title font, a fresh set of new characters, less humour and even a different theme song by Imagine Dragons. However these are all that have changed. Michael's extended explosive noisy action, stereotype characters and others still stay the same. The formula of the story is almost like the last thr
