Review: "Whiteout Blu-ray review"

I have upgraded it from DVD. Well, the Blu-ray is obviously more sharper and crisper than the normal DVD version. The colors are more brighter. The faces appearances are more sharper and you can see wrinkles or whatever. The downside of the disc is that it doesn't actually have a menu. It only has a special features menu where you can play the movie from there.
Blu-ray special features-3/5
There are two featurettes; one for the making of the movie (11 minutes) and another for the discussion of bringing the comic to life(10 minutes). Both are passable for special features stuff. There are also deleted scenes (4 minutes) which is also included on DVD. There are previews before the movie. Overall: If you are a rare fan of the movie, it's worth the upgrade.

Review: "Red Riding Hood Blu-ray review"

It is a passable mystery thriller. More fairy tales are being adapted into big screen. The recent movie is Snow White and the huntsman. Next year, we will get more such as Jack the giant killer. Anyway, Red Riding Hood is tense at moments. There are some parts that drag the movie. The most disappointing thing is the short and few appearances of The wolf. The picture quality seems like in a dreamy state but it is decent and sharp.
Blu-ray special features-3/5
 There is nothing much if you don't watch the maximum mode (the annoying trend from Warner Bros. Blu-rays). There are some short featurettes like making of the movie (5 minutes), talking about the two 'hot' guy in the movie (3 minutes), an interesting making of the score (10 minutes) and an insanely short making of the wolf which lasts less than a minute. You can watch audition tapes by the actors (7 minutes) and rehearsal (5 minutes). There is a gag reel (2 minutes) which is somehow funny. There are two music video (5 minutes) which are kind of nice. Pointless additional scenes (4 minutes) round up the features.

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...
