Review: "24: Live Another Day TV review"

I have no previous knowledge of 24 except the TV movie. However, the first episode of the new season establishes what happened to Jack Bauer and his collateral damage to countries. There is in fact no recap but there are brief mentions of the previous season in dialogues and action. Those new to the series, be rest assured that there are new characters however there are several important characters in previous seasons to take note.

Episode 1-9: It works like a mini-series; 12 episodes. Right from the start of episode 1, there are many things happening and it does not let the viewers take a breather. The action starts from the get-go and the pace is constantly going as Jack races to stop terrorists from killing many innocents and creating tension between US and UK. Each episode is thrilling and there is often a twist in the end. The tense action scenes are kept real and there is no over-the-top explosion.

Episode 10-12: The episodes are increasingly becoming more intense. There is a big twist among the other small twists. A usual, the final episode ends with a big bang however it is not resolved yet. It means that it is not the end yet. Fans will be urging to see a next season.

Overall: It is a consistent thrilling TV series that never slows its pace. Every episode is packed with thrills, action and mystery. Even the drama and emotional scenes are not annoyingly prolonged, everything is fast-paced that will keep the viewers on the edge of their seats. For newcomers, it is possible to watch this as a stand alone series but it would be wise to watch previous seasons for more background knowledge of the characters.

Rating: 4.5/5 Review: "Man of Steel movie review" With all the hype from the trailers, I must say this is what it looks to be expected. I have to say that this is the biggest and epic superhero movie yet. This treats destructions like child's play. It is also the most explosive superhero movie. There are so much explosions that they could literally make you exhausted from watching all those. Although this is directed by Zack Snyder, this does not have much of his trademark except the visuals. His slo-mo trademark is not featured. Instead, the action is rapid fast. Man of Steel is a good entertainment with exciting action scenes and visuals but at the same, a somehow touching human drama. The story: We get an extended opening scene on Krypton where Kal-El is just born. However the planet is going to be destroyed with General Zod adding to the problem. To save Kal-El, he has to be sent to another planet known as Earth. What is interesting about the movie that it do...

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...
