Review: "Almost Human season 1 TV review"

The previews of it look promising; high budget production, packed with action, Sci-Fi story and J.J Abrams' lens flare. Come to the actual series, it is not bad but it deserves to be better with all the things involved.

EP 1: It starts off with a big bang featuring a high octane action scene. The rest of the runtime is briskly paced. It doesn't bother to introduce all of the characters in details. It just zooms straight to the action. As usual, the first episode is packed with enough action and thrill.

EP 2-13: After a thrilling 1 episode, unfortunately the rest of the episodes turn familiar and not so fresh. Every episode has a story that has been seen before. The story is just backed by high production, interesting visuals and the likeable chemistry between the two main characters. I was disappointed that the season 1 didn't touch on the Insyndicate, the group mentioned in episode 1. I was eager to find out more about the group and what was their motive. But no, nothing much is mentioned throughout the whole season. At the end of the season, there are questions left hanging. Nothing much is resolved. With the series being cancelled, there is not much hope left.

Overall: The season does not reach up to the standard of the first episode. But it is the likeable chemistry between the main characters that you won't mind watching the other episodes. Fans of Sci-Fi and action should be entertained by this.

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.
