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: 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: 3.8/5 Review: "Resident Evil: Retribution movie review" It was a pity that I did not manage to catch it in 3D. I have no doubt that it looks good in 3D since the previous movie looks good in 3D. To say the truth, Resident Evil: Retribution seems to be nothing special without the amazing 3D like what Resident Evil: Afterlife is. The 5th movie is all about action and suspense, the story is pretty straight-forward. The story: You are a fool if you go and watch a Resident Evil movie expecting good story line and acting. So far, none of the movies in the franchise have these qualities. But they are entertaining to watch because of the action and suspense. This is the most action-packed Resident Evil movie so far. The action scenes are also better and bigger. It is like a kind of compensation for the lack of action in Resident Evil: Afterlife. It is not only filled with action but it is also intense. Music in this is also the best in the franchise; it has a more ep...
