Movies & TV Series

Surprise! I'm not writing much on this page when I should. As you probably have noticed that I wrote more whenever  I watched the number one TV series "The walking Dead." It is somewhat unfair for other television series such as: The Big Bang Theory, Marvel Agents of Shields, The Flash, Quantico, Amazing Race (Canada and U.S.A.), Orphan Black,  Victorious, Big Time Rush and iCarly. Maybe I am a little bit biased. But TWD is one "epic surreal television series and the characters are almost living in such almost real-life world full of zombies." Besides, the actors and actresses in TWD are superbly talented! They have natural talent for acting.

What we had watch so far for this year when it comes to MOVIES? Let me tell you: The latest of the Jurassic park sequel, JURASSIC WORLD is quite exciting even if it's just a sequel. They brought new strength of primates, carnivorous dinosaurs and "dinos who obeyed its master." They brought new vehicle that is amazing until it was wrecked by the vicious cycle of  monstrous dinosaurs that their prime aim in life is destroy anything that are hindrance or barriers to their world.

I watched the sequel to Mission Impossible: ROGUE NATION starring Tom Cruise in his death-defying stunts, running after a running fast airplane at the airport runway before it ascended into its flight schedule. As usual Tom or Ethan Hunt was shown again in a drag-racing with the enemies in the Moroccan landmarks. What's left to see in his daredevil stunts and mystery of the MI is that every character in the story has a purpose and each has to work for their own self-vested interest until they decided to help save their "own kind."

The world and work of stuntmen and women are dangerous. Their works are equally valuable to the movie production and film making. Sure they expect respect and benefits from their source of employment.

What else? ANT-MAN. The story of a very competitive thief  (Paul Rudd) who had stolen an incredible tight-fitting  suit that gives him the power to shrink himself and become smaller than the size of an ant. The special effects of this movie is remarkable. A movie that made Michael Douglas talked and talked non-stop. This movie is similar to the movies "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids."

THE AVENGERS: Age of Ultron, another sequel for year 2015 starring the very talented rather multi-talented Robert Downey Jr.  who appeared sad and tired in this movie. The cast looked very tired and unhappy from the beginning to end. I can only sense that  they are superheroes and time's running out for them when they realized that they have no family of their own to come home (except for one character in the cast of heroes) to and they are getting old and all they can do is help other people, realizing they have to help themselves after all they are humans. The story is about Tony Stark, a billionaire who invented his super power suit and had that super intelligence to act rationally, purposely and deal with the environment according to his conscience and the consensus of his co-superheroes: Captain America, Thor and other Marvel superheroes. Ironman tried to revive the defunct "United Nations - peacekeeping organization" but something goes haywire and that calls for their super skills to be tried and tested  once again saving lives of those greatly affected by disastrous wormholes, chaotic unnatural balance of  natural disaster, including the earthquake in Nepal and other earth's worst turbulence caused by some unknown forces.

The sequel to the movie DIVERGENT and HUNGER GAMES are not that of an exciting movies to watch. Unless these movies (sequel) will provide a better cinematography rather keep us awake by providing remarkable never seen "out of this world scenery" even if just a "mural of somekind but colorful and nostalgic and what else? 3D animation special effects that could make us in a dream state of higher consciousness.



I haven't watch STAR WARS: The Force Awakens, yet.  My sons watched it in the big cinema the day it was opened (premiere opening). They said it was good but I want to hear more from them but they don't want to reveal the whole story. Darn! Maybe I'll just wait for it on DVD or VOD. It will take months to view that movie on VOD. So, that would mean CIAO for now or ALOHA? Ha ha ha ha!
