Review: "Harry Potter and the deathly hallows: part 1 Blu-Ray DVD review"

It is the best Harry Potter movie yet. It is a solid harry potter movie. It is more action-packed and intense than the previous ones which is a surprise as the harry potter movies are not famous for action scenes and this delivers though the action scenes are short.

The story: I find it intense from the start of the movie to the credits rolling. The characters seem suspicious and they are capable of doing anything which make the movie more intense. Harry and his friends are on the run from Vodemort and his evil helpers. Every where they hide, troubles find them. And that is where the director crafts his intense action scenes like harry on his narrow escape from the bad guys. The action scene set in the forest is frenetic and intense but it is too shakey to see the action properely. The acting is good, the trio has believable reationships and emotions. The music is good and epic.

Overall: I can't wait to see the epic showdown of Harry and Vodemort. Part 2 might even be better than this one. It is not a disappointment as I was disappointed with the last movie, the half-blooded prince with its lack of action and intensity.

Blu-Ray DVD special features- 3.5/5

The first disc of the 2 disc edition Blu-Ray DVD features focus points which are small featurettes which can be played all at one (19 minutes). The other feature is a maximum mode which I do not bother watching because the movie needs to be played with it. The second disc has about 1 hour worth of bonus features. There are deleted scenes which are not that good. The worthy feature is the sneak peak behind the second part of the movie which is about 3 minutes of new footage of it. The rest of the runtime is the featurettes; making of. The usual stuff. They touch on some of the important scenes in the movie like the multiple Harry Potters and the forest chase scene. There is a slightly interesting featurette on some of the cast members playing golf...which has nothing to do with the movie. There is the making of the music. Not bad stuff.

Rating: 4.5/5 Review: "Man of Steel movie review" With all the hype from the trailers, I must say this is what it looks to be expected. I have to say that this is the biggest and epic superhero movie yet. This treats destructions like child's play. It is also the most explosive superhero movie. There are so much explosions that they could literally make you exhausted from watching all those. Although this is directed by Zack Snyder, this does not have much of his trademark except the visuals. His slo-mo trademark is not featured. Instead, the action is rapid fast. Man of Steel is a good entertainment with exciting action scenes and visuals but at the same, a somehow touching human drama. The story: We get an extended opening scene on Krypton where Kal-El is just born. However the planet is going to be destroyed with General Zod adding to the problem. To save Kal-El, he has to be sent to another planet known as Earth. What is interesting about the movie that it do...

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...
