STEAL

 WAR OF THE WORLDS. New television series (not the movie of Tom Cruise) with foreign actors as cast of this scary, surreal invasion of "aliens." The aliens are "humans with some peculiar taste for human blood" they are not vampires but the blood transfusion helped these brand new aliens to survive on Earth. The Earth 's sky is like a canvas of grey sky not blue sky and a huge black hole appeared and they don't know what it is. Dr. Catherine Durand who is a scientist trying to pinpoint the origin of the giant black hole and its gravitational force had her time warped from the Earth to a chaotic version of Earth where her sister is alive not dead, all the while she was actually in a coma inside the hospital. Mind boggling of course. 

In this series, robotic dogs without heads are the terminators, owned by humans with black tattoos on their hands that symbolized two circles ( circle within a circle).

LA BREA. Continuation of this science fiction series: Eve and Levi were captured by the men in leather suits and let them work in a cave digging for coal. They planned to escape. Eve was outside the cave and found that her ex- husband Gavin was also captured. More dialogues then later Eve, Gavin and Levi planned the escape however, they were captured back again and back to the cave... While Lucas, Veronica, and Rohan decided to steal food from the villagers. Rohan had other plans... and he saw the old comics of  " Journey To The Center Of The Earth" by Jules Verne in one of the outpost, and a flashy card with an inscription LAZARUS. He took the card and hid it, however on the way to the ruins, somebody was following him and asked if he found what she wants. Rohan gave it to the female doctor but she told him to keep it because it might open the doors to bring Josh and Riley back to the sinkhole and to "3000 BC." 

Hmm...dunno how the series will be interesting for those who love Star Trek. 

SURVIVOR. The VISI team finally won and had the prize of  fish for food but they can trade it with something else from other teams: COCO & BAKA. They traded the fish with basket of fruits. Then one of the Visi members has to steal or trade with fishing gear, cassava roots. 

To think that there are cassava root crop in that Fiji island, there are fruits such as papaya, etc. Those teams who didn't win anything got nothing to eat? Or they don't know what is growing in the island? Mind blowing. The island is surrounded by ocean water, there are school of fish, whether you have no fishing gear you can probably swim and capture fish or crabs or look for oysters on the shore of the beach. There are coconut groves. They stayed in the island for more than weeks after weeks and they cannot build a house made of bamboo and coconut leaf sheath. Hard to believe. 

Have you seen the movie BLUE LAGOON? Kids could live and survive without parents or any older people in a remote island. Why old people with more experience and skills cannot build a house that could last for their one month stay at least or long duration of their stay in an island. Or could it be when the cameras stop grinding then they have to sleep and stay in a luxury hotel and come back again to the island feeling like impoverished, tired, hungry and filthy. Maybe that's the idea. That their families once they saw them how unhappy, crazy, dirty and feeling like they are suffering, they  will bail them out from the island. Because at the end of this show, the one who should win never win anyway, just like those who competed in BIG BROTHER shows. Whatever.

Movie I enjoyed watching recently, NOW YOU SEE ME 2 (Story of the illusionists and magicians). Brilliant. The writer/scriptwriter of this movie is a genius.
