Review: "New Moon movie review"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am not the crazy-ass fan who will scream when seeing Edward or a fan of the books. I watch this for pure entertainment and as to see how bad this movie can be. This is not bad, in fact, it is actually interesting to see how the main character, Bella, copes with her vampire lover, Edward, plus a new guy's love. The thing is it is a little slow. The way the director, the one behind Golden Compass, bring up the story isn't there. The pacing also seems a bit off. From a starting slow pace shoots into a slightly faster pace and then shoots right back into the slow pace. So it is a little hard not to feel bored at times. Other than that, it is quite okay.
The story: It continues after Twilight, which is also okay, and goes in a melodrama pace. Bella is still in very love with the vampire hunk, Edward. Hooooo.....undying love. The way it is shown in this movie is slightly annoying. Anyway, Edward leaves her for a purpose and Bella becomes emo. Sigh! The pace goes back to slow...when Bella turns to a new hunk, Jacob. La! La! So happy. I am not going spoil the whole story but...it is predictable.
Overall: Alright, it is not bad. CGI is quite good except for some times. The little action is intense. The love between Bella and Edward is undying and on it goes. For entertainment, it may deliver. For other things, it may not. Obviously it delivers on the wide spread of hunks and romance. Watching it one time is good enough for me and I won't be buying the DVD.

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...
