Review: "Sucker Punch Blu-Ray review"

It is quite an enjoyable ride. I have no idea why it recieved poor reviews; 23% on rotton tomatoes and it didn't fare well with audience too with a rating of 6.2 on IMDB. And then it didn't do that well in Box Office, it got US$89 million. That's not good with a budget of US$82 million. Anyway, although there are many bad reviews, they didn't stop me from enjoying this fun romp. The story presentation is cool with idea dealing with the mind. It is like a movie that you have to pay attention in order to realise what's going on. Like Incpetion. Action scenes are cool too. With lots of fantasy in these scenes, it is kind of rare to see an action movie not being realistic.

Blu-Ray features-3.4/5

Sadly, the only making of is the Maximum mode which means I had to watch the movie just for the making of. Not very enjoyable as I had to sit down for two hours and watch the movie plus at the same time, see how they make the movie. I have no idea why Warner Bros. is pushing up this idea. The Green Lantern Blu-Ray also gets this treatment. There is no option of playing the featurettes seperately. Throughout the feature, you can access to picture galleries and storyboards. Zack, the director, plays the host as he explains how he makes the movies. There is a music featurette (2 minutes) which is so damn brief that it is almost nothing. It is just a promotional featurette with the music composer discussing briefly about the music. And then lastly, a series of motion comic (11 minutes) which is not too bad. They provide background knowledge about the movie. Overall: Not a bad Blu-Ray but would prefer the Maximum mode to be played seperate.

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

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: 4/5 Review: "The Hobbit: An unexpected Journey 3D movie review" This is the highly anticipated prequel to The Lords of the Ring movies. As a stand alone movie, it does pretty well to engage audiences with its great special effects and fantasy creatures. I cannot compare this with the first trilogy as I can hardly remember it although I will catch it later. But as it seems, this is more lighter than the serious first trilogy. Sure this has its fair share of intense battles but this is more light-heart. The story: With a runtime of 2 hours and 49 minutes, you can be sure that this will take its sweet time to get the adventure going which is true. After a brief action-packed introduction, the movie moves slower. The first half and hour sees a hobbit's unwillingness to go for an adventure as the other dwarves plan to steal their treasures and take what is rightfully theirs. After the hobbit agrees, the fantasy adventure starts and following it are dangers.
