Review: "The Apparition movie review"

Ashley Greene and the premise are the ones that attracted me. Ashley is no doubt hot in this and her acting is not bad. The premise, 'You believe, you die' seems interesting but unfortunately the movie didn't make full use of it. It is just touch and go. The end result is a generic but entertaining horror movie.

The good: Ashley is hot. Music is surprisingly okay for a horror movie. There is a sense of dread in the music. I like that this doesn't resort to jump scenes unlike many others that are eager to make the audience jump often. Unfortunately, those are all that I enjoy or like.

The bad: There are loads. Firstly, the story is seriously generic. There is not much in term of originality. It is really straight-forward with no twist. How many times have you seen a movie about a house being haunted by ghosts? The runtime is a crime. It is only 1 hour and 22 minutes long and take away the credit and what do you get? Nothing much just a series of ghostly events being string up. The events are not that scary nor intense. The climax is one of the worst climax I have seen in a horror movie. There is no resolution. It also brings down the movie. Acting wise is okay. Fans of Tom Felton and Julianna Guill will be disappointed.

Overall: It is barely a watch in cinema. Fans of Ashley Greene and the rest of the cast may catch it. Other than that, there is no other reason people should catch this in cinema. It may fare better if it is Direct-To-DVD. It is a somewhat disappointing generic horror movie that has potential to be better.

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...
