Review: "12 Monkeys TV review"

I did not watch the movie however you don't have to watch it to understand the TV series. There are probably references to the movie. Most of the 13 episodes are engaging and filled with twists and turns. As a time-travel story, it is somewhat understandable and as usual, it has some plot holes. Acting wise is alright, the usuals. The special effects, sets and music are decent.

Overall: It is worth a watch if you have the time. I am drawn to the tense storyline that has a clock ticking. It makes more curious about the movie and will probably watch it. It ends with the usual cliffhanger however, I hope it will end soon. How long can you continue with this storyline before it looses its steam?

Review: "Galavant TV review"

This is my first time watching a musical TV series (there aren't many musicals TV series). It is nott as bad as I thought it would. The brisk 8 episodes are a hoot to watch. The short runtime of each episode (23 minutes) means that nothing will be boring and is packed with songs. One downside is the reliance of pop culture jokes. At first, they are funny however they go downhill in the later episodes. The acting is fine however some characters' development could improved. Most of the songs sound good.

Overall: It is for a certain audience. One who enjoys musicals and does not mind some mindless entertainment. It is not deep or rousing but it does contain enough humour and songs to keep you entertained for half and hour.

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...
