Review: "Green Lantern extended cut Blu-ray review"

The extended cut is about 9 minutes more than the cinema version. 9 minutes may seem a lot of footage but actually, most of the new footage is about the Hal's childhood. That's it. It shows how Hal saw his father died in a plane crash. Other that, the movie is still okay. Fortunately, the 9 minutes do not drag the pacing of the whole movie.

Blu-ray special features- 3.5/5

There is the main meat which is the maximum mode viewing which can be played seperately as focus points (47 minutes). They cover up basic stuff such as special effects and making of the costume and stunts etc. There is a featurette about Green Lantern's origins (20 minutes) which is interesting as I do not know a lot about Green Lantern. There is another featurette about Ryan discussing his role as Hal Jordan (6 minutes). There are deleted scenes (5 minutes) which are not particularly interesting. Special effects are rough. There is a digital comic book about the new Justic League issue 1 (9 minutes). It moves to every panel of the page slowly but the words are a bit small for me. Lastly, there is a preview of the upcoming Green lantern animated series (6 minutes) which does not interest me much. The animation seems a bit lazy. Overall: A not bad Blu-ray disc. Picture quality is sharp and clear. The 3D Blu-ray pack includes both 2D and 3D version.

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...
