TV Review: "Harper's Island Review" (13 episodes)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have finally finished watching the whole series, the 13 episodes. The story is simple. Even the tagline will tell basically you about the plot outline. 25 people are invited to a wedding. From there, people start dieing. One by one. At least one will die in an episode. Come to the final episode, the killer will be revealed. It is pretty engrossing as it is intense, I would want to know who will die and who the killer is. In the middle of the story, there seems to be some kind of lame supernatural stuffs like things that magically appear and supernatural forces. I thought: 'What the hell! I don't watch this show for supernatural shit. I would rather go watch some cheesy horror movies.' Glad I was wrong.
The killer is a human. But they didn't explain how those supernatural things come about. It is not bad as what other people say, it is just not original. Hey, at least, there is some mystery in order to keep you watching. Not a bad western series, Heroes is another good show. I seldom stay up late to watch western series, even those popular series don't interest me etc. Prison Break, Chuck and many more.
Overall: Harper's Island just interests me for its suspense and mystery. It is good to give a watch. It is quite entertaining. And I can get a break from watching superheroes saving the world from a crazy brain-eating sick-ass guy who knows how to trick everybody. You know, this kind of story gets a bit tired. Currently, I am watching a japanese drama-Bloody Monday.

Rating: 3.5/5 Review: Taken DVD review Taken is a new action movie that makes the audiences want more hard and gritty action flicks. I can see that now. Taken has the drama (Yawn!) and the realistic action (Like the Borne movies). Clocking at only 1 and a half hour, the movie starts off slow with drama. After half and hour pass, it goes straight to the intensity and non-stop realistic action. I don't like the slow start. As it is only 1 and a half hour, it do not have the time for slow characters' development. It should drive straight to the action, unless it clocks around 2 hours. The story: It seems to be the usual kidnapping movies where the bad guys kidnap some random girl/boy and ask for ransom. But in this, they kidnap young women to become sex-slaves. A father of a kidnapped daughter is enraged and goes to Paris where his daughter is. "I will find you! I will kill you!" He says to the bad guys. He starts punching and kicking people to hell. He kicks men's b...

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...
