The descent 2

I have watched the first part many years ago when I first got my dvd player and this is the sequel to it which is able to maintain the standard I expected on this movie. This movie is about a bunch of women that went for a cave exploration that had gone wrong when they encountered a bunch human-like creatures in the cave that eat humans and able to climb walls. There was a sole survivor in part 1 and this sequel is about mounting a rescue team, if there is any survivor left to rescue at all. Well, the team is faced with the same creatures and similar to part 1, plenty of skull cracking kills and blood gushing scenes coupled with a few sudden scare tactics. You know, it's dark in the cave and these creatures can appear all of a sudden. I'll rate this at 7/10.

The stepfather

This is a murder movie about a maniac who targets recently divorced woman with children. The amazing thing is this maniac is good in pretending to be a good guy to blend into the woman's family and her children well, especially if that woman is in need of a man in the house. This movie doesn't have much action but you will stay on to find out how this maniac is unmasked in the end and his outcome. However, the ending is rather expected for me as it's getting common for US movies to have an ending reserved for a sequel, maybe because it can be sold off as a franchise later. I'll rate this at 7/10.

72 tenants

This is a movie produced by TVB, a company specialised in producing dramas in HK. This movie in a way actually shows how influential TVB is in HK judging from how TVB is capable of getting almost all the top artists in HK to play a small role in this movie. This is a comedy movie produced specially for the Chinese New Year celebration this year with some musical dancing scenes included, something not commonly done in HK movies. Overall, quite entertaining but failed to make me LOL like those CSC classics and some of the humour requires deep understanding of the cantonese dialect. The CNY song at the end is also very creative. I'll rate this at 6/10.

The others

This is a not so horror but mysterious movie with lots of talking and very little sudden scare scene. It is however saved by a very unexpected ending and probably the first time I've seen a horror movie with such storyline. I'll rate this at 5/10.

Bad blood

This is a HK mafia movie about internal tussle within a gang to be the leader when its existing leader has been caught in PRC and executed. This movie is packed with impressive hand to hand & melee combat fight from not just one but various actors and actresses. Unfortunately. the storyline is not very thought out causing certain fights to look unnecessary or illogical. For example, why would the PRC police waste their breath chasing the gang and engage for hand fight when they could easily finish them off with guns. I'll rate this at 6/10.

The sniper

This is a HK movie about a sniper team within the HK police force. This movie has portrayed some reality of sniper shooting and quite action packed. Unfortunately, the storyline doesn't flow logically like how that bad guy is able to easily procure high power sniper rifle and the helping a prisoner to escape just for his killing pleasure later. I'll rate this at 6/10.

9 Dead

This movie is about kidnap and a father's revenge on injustice done on his son. It's something like Saw but the gory effect is far from it. Heck, even the gunshots don't look real at all. But the mystery makes you wanna stay on to find out the motive of the kidnapper and why the nine persons who don't really know each other are inter related. I'll rate this at 5/10.
