The Mechanic - it is about an assassin, a lot of actions and shootings.  Don't expect too much though -


Score: 6.5 /10

Van Helsing - there are 2 kinds of vampires - feeders and ferals.  Ferals are like zombies, but feeders are typical vampires.  The plot from mid of the 1st season gets more complicated.  Those who enjoy Walking Dead should like this one.


Score: 7/10

The Big Bang Theory - great comedy, especially for sci-fi fans.  I have been watching it for the past 12 months, from season 1 to season 9.  Overall, I enjoy each and every episode -

進擊的巨人 - rubbish, rubbish, rubbish ......................


score: 4/10

The Jackal, released in 1997, is still better than most of the films today.  It is also Bruce Willis best piece of work -


Score: 9/10

Star Wars: the Force Awakens - nothing good except that it reminds me of the first Star Wars -



Score: 5.5 /10

Independence Day: Resurgence - don't know why they need to get back all the actors after 20 years.  Anyway, this can be a lot better -



Score: 6/10

Quantico - watched a few episodes, and I think the plot is unreasonable and lost interest already.

Dark Matter - a bit boring

thenext

Real Humans: This is a Swedish TV series about human robots.  The plot is good but the development is slower than the usual US tv series.  People like it and there is a English remake called Humans.  

Score: 7/10

X Men Apocalypse:  this is good, better than those boring Wolverine ones -

Score : 7.5/10

The Intern - it is good, one of the best I've watched recently

Warcraft - a bit disappointed, it should be much better



Score: 6.5/10

Now you see me 2 - not as good as the first one , don't expect too much as the plot is more or less similar.


Score: 7/10

Captain America: Civil War - it is not really exciting, fighting with each other is not as spectacular as fighting with some aliens with super powers.  One key part I think is a flaw - is it worth so much effort to let Stark to watch a video clip with the presence of Bucky?  I think there are many far easier ways to do it.

Score: 7.5/10

Japan's Longest Day - the movie itself is quite good except that it is all from their own viewpoints.  The film tried to tell what happened before they surrendered in WWII, how different parties - the emperor, the marine and the land troops, the old and the young generations of the army see the best interest of the Japanese future.  The Emperor was filmed as a leader who valued the life and future of its people, but in fact he was the one with a key role in starting the war.


Score - 7/10

Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice - not bad at all, except there are too much talking at the first half.


Score - 7/10

Allegiant - story is not good, acting is not so so.  One may watch it to kill time -

Score: 6/10

thenext

The Lady in the Van - the movie is based on a real story.  It is not entertaining but the acting by Maggie Smith is spectacular.

Score: 6.5/10

thenext

道士下山 - the story / plot is poor and unreasonable, the action is like HK movies 30 years ago.  This may not be a complete rubbish but definitely a waste of time.


Score:  3/10

Eye in the Sky - British trying to justify for bombing other people.  There is a detail bombing decision process and military line of report -


Score: 6/10
