Review: "Man-Thing DVD review"


This is one of the rare Marvel comic adaptions that are violent and mature. The Punisher franchise is one of them too. Although Man-Thing is not as violent as The Punisher, it still has its fair share of gruesome and grisly scenes. Though it is a TV movie, it is not too bad and Man-Thing's CGI which only appears in the last half an hour is okay for a low-budget movie. So what's with the rest of the movie. It kills people but you don't get to see the monster doing the deed. The story is kind of simple, there is a sense of dread and suspense in the swamp. Overall: It is not bad for a TV movie based on the Marvel comic. To say the truth, I am only interested in it because it is based on the comic.

DVD special features-2.5/5

There are a handful of deleted scenes (15 minutes). Some of them are extended scenes. A particular extended scene is the cutting of the main characters having sex or tried to. It is weird for the scene to be cut. No idea why they cut that out when the first part of the movie has a couple having sex. There should be a director's commentary. There is a lame bloopers (1 minute) which is too damn short to show anything funny. And it seems to be cut.

Review: "The Tuxedo DVD review"


One of Jackie Chan's Hollywood blockbusters and it didn't get good review from critics and audience alike. But it is not bad, the only downside is there should be more fightings and stunts. The pace is fast and in a not-boring way, moving things briefly. The 1 hour and 38 minutes is a fun romp with its break-neck pace, some cool stunts and likeable characters. Seems that the critics and audience want a more realistic Jackie Chan's movie like what he did in Hong Kong; realistic Kung-Fu with no wires.

DVD special features- 3/5

There is the cutting room which includes deleted and extended scene and outtakes. The deleted scenes (12 minutes) are okay which make the movie more understandable. The extended scenes (5 minutes) do the same. The outtakes (7 minutes) are fun and enjoyable. People are laughing and goofing on and off set. There is a making of (13 minutes) which is actually brief to say the truth. During the short time, it runs through the main points of the movie like stunts and making of the tuxedo and dancing. But even that, the points it touches on is brief. I would like to know more about them. Lastly, there is the trailer of the movie.

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...
