Review: "Quick DVD review"

This is a rare korean action blockbuster. It has everything that an action movie must have. Noticeably, korean action movies seldom have loud explosions, brisk pace and lots of action. But this sets the bar of action high in korean movies. Although, it seems like Quick steals stunts, car crashes from superior Hollywood action movies, it is still a fast entertaining action romp.

The pace is like the title of the movie: Quick. There are non-stop action chase scenes filled with crashes and explosions. The story is easy enough to understand. This is what a korean action blockbuster should be like. Once in a while, movies like this happens. This year, it seems that Soar into the Sun starring Rain will take Quick's role of a blockbuster.

DVD special features-2/5

There is only a sole making of (12 minutes) which contains brief interviews and behind the scenes. It is not a very good making of. It is just a bunch of interviews and behind the scenes slapped together. Nothing very interesting happen. Even the behind the scenes of the stunts at the movie's credits are much more interesting. At least, it comes with english subtitles. A trailer of Quick rounds up the features.

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: 3.7/5 Review: "Johnny English Reborn movie review" The sequel of the 2003 comedy takes its own sweet time to enter the cinemas. At least, it is not disappointing. It may not be original but it still provides the laugh. Rowan is back as the idiotic but somehow smart Johnny English. The story: Johnny is back for an impossible mission. Blah blah, it is like a series of gags being stringed up together but most of the gags are funny and entertaining so I can't really complain. This movie amps up the action by having a few chase scenes but most of them are light-hearted. One of the memerable chase scenes is Johnny calmly chasing an assassin and ends with a funny fight. Another one is the wheelchair chase scene where Johnny sits on a high-tech wheelchair and being chased by police. Surprisingly, this has some tense moments unlike the first one which is light throughout the movie. This has betrayal, people getting killed and more serious spy stuff. Overall: It is a pretty
