Review: "Ben 10 Alien Swarm DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007 saw Ben 10's first live action movie, Race against Time, which was enjoyable. Though enjoyable, it also has its weak points. One has a low budget so the special effects is not that good but still interesting to see. Acting by the kids is not especially good and if you think the adults in that can do any better, you are wrong. Grandpa Max looks like he is on drug. Then 2009 saw its sequel, Alien Swarm. This is so much better than the first one. Special effects look realistic and even acting is so much better although not great.
The story: It is pretty much simple. It sees three major action scenes including three aliens and a car chase scenes. They are good to see but yeah, for its budget, are short. But still overall, they are interesting to see. Yep, nothing much to say about the story. It is just like an average action movie plot that is simple for kids to understand. The music is somehow disappointing considering that the guy behind the music also scored Punisher War Zone.
Overall: It is worth the watch. This is more darker than the first. There are also improvements. I hope there will be another movie.

DVD special features-Rating: 2/5
It is disappointing that the DVD only comes with a short behind the scenes (2 minutes) and a music video (3 minutes). There is nothing much in the behind the scenes just some short interviews with the cast and crew and short sniplets of behind the scenes. The music video is awesome though.

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...
