Review: "The frightening night DVD review"

More horror movies from China are being made. China horror movies tend to be more ambitious as they want to confuse audience. Like this, it seems like a straight-forward stalker movie but there's supernatural thrown in to confuse the audience whether it's really a supernatural or a stalker movie. And this is not the only one. Others like Mysterious Island did the same. Trailers for upcoming horror movies prove that China do want to confuse or distract audience.

The story: The frightening night starts off with a sexy actress having a sense that she's being stalked by a mysterious guy. She gets a lawyer and soon takes up a role in a horror movie. And the usual, she feels the location of the shooting is mysterious and weird. Weird things happen. Blah blah. There are suspicions in the crew including the director of the movie. Pretty straight-forward until when the supernatural stuff kicks in. It is not an original horror movie but the brisk pace makes the movie watchable. China horror movies now are also showing some skin to spice them up. This has some sensual stuff but it is mild and there's no nudity.

Overall: It is an okay horror movie. It does not raise the bar but it proves that China can make some decent horror movies.

DVD special features: 0/5

There are 2 trailers before the DVD menu and cannot be skipped or fast-forwarded. DVD quality is surprisingly not bad. Unlike Mysterious Island, this is more sharper and clearer.

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
