Review: "Kingdom of Heaven DVD review"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fast and Furious is the forth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise. I have seen all of the movies. This is not much different than the others just that this has some new sleek cars. The story is simple enough and the action/racing is the thrills. That is all I want from the franchise. Thrilling and action-packed plot and cool action scenes. Yep, this pretty much delivers.
DVD special features-Rating: 3/5
The features are not bad on a 1 disc DVD. There is a gag reel (5 minutes) which is not exactly funny but has some entertainment values like Paul Walker keeps laughing for no reason. There are numberous of featurettes (24 minutes). Two featurettes focusing on cars and casts. One is Vin's driving test and the other is making of the movie.
Kingdom of Heaven is a good piece of epic movie. Though there is only one major war scene, the rest of the runtime thrills me. Though its long runtime, 2 hours and 25 minutes, the pace is considerably fast and seldom drags. The music is epic too. Acting is convincing enough. Its DVD cover and poster made me think that this has non-stop action and I was wrong. But in the end, I was massively entertained.
DVD special features-Rating: 4/5
The features are good and detailed. There are two featurettes about the history (1 hours and 30 minutes) which is awesome. It is good to know the history of this story. There is a detailed making of (1 hours and 32 minutes) which is good too. There are some small things like a net featurette (9 minutes) and trailer (2 minutes). Good 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...
