Homeland


As usual the pace is slow but full of suspense (is it just me?). Something about the writing and also the direction. Now Quinn (aka Agent 47)  is hunting Carrie. Well thrill is getting higher.

Crossing Lines


Another series thats keeping to its promise and pace. Thou this one has heroes chasing crooks on the rooftops seem to be too long. The episode for this one seem to be common and too many running a smiliar lines - son hire killer to kill father because abusing mother.
If episodes gone bad enough, the head of ICC could tell the team i am taking Jack Bauer from CTA to solve the problem. After all he is Donald Sutherland. Ha ha !

Limitless


Saw the 4th episode of the maiden season. No complain and truly enjoyed it. The show has gone above my expectation. In this series I saw some 3 plots in 1. The plots aint illogical thou taking the pill will always be. And it also has a continuing plot going from episode to episode. Hope the producer (with Brad Cooper) continue the good work.

Grace of Monaco


Saw this because Nicole Kidman is Grace. Dont know that Tim Roth is in it too. Thought it was just a bio film of Grace Kelly but it actually has an element of Mystery to it. However, imdb gave a low 5.6 rating. This is one movie that i dont agree with what imdbs' are giving. But as long a movie worth my time, give some sort of lesson or knowledge, I am into it.
The movie got through because of NK superb acting. Dont know how accurate it is to history but I think its pretty close enough. Never thought that French can be the bullying type and countries like Monaco can be doom if being attacked as they dont have armies. On top of that they rely the delivery of basics necessities from French. Its the same with Malaysia and Singapore. Difference is Singapore have armies which are stronger than us and close allies of the US.
The ending speech of GK could be a correct depiction of what happened and how she prevented the collapse of the country. War started with simple misfortune and it can be diverted or prevented with simple action like this one. What you need is some form of diplomacy.

A Time for Consequences - Now Showing

A non English action film for our viewing pleasure. Tony Jaa is here and we know that he is Siamese.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5pYpkTIQCDzaEZvb3VYbjFSWDg 
What crystal clear picture and sound can bring ones viewing to a new level. This is one movie that was downloaded and quickly see as its good for the whole family. Forgotten that I have downloaded it before in a low quality and stopped early. Anyway its finally good to see and finish it this time. Not dissapointing at all.
First, the quality has a good windy but not complicated plot. Tony Jaa an action hero we all know and the main star in the film is not the best one thou. He is no 4.
Like any other film, some parts may be illogic and cant comprehend, but that doesnt spoil the fun. Its a 2hr long film ! It has poetry and action. Not all focusing on TJ fighting but chinese martial arts. It brings back memories of old chinese movies in the '90's where fighting poetry is everything. But 2 funny things about smart phones 1. Fell into the sea but recovered by fisherman and good as new. 2. Fell from the 1st floor of the prison (about 20 ft) and escaped with a scratch. Download an app where it can translate Siam - Mandarin vice versa in natural human tone. You can hold on to lukemia for 3 years if want to.
But anyway this is a movie and you can accept these for the sake of film dont you ?

Blindspot S01E04


This episode deals with deadly viruses. Action in episode getting lesser. Hope producers spruce it up in future.

Bridal Wave


Saw this movie because it was still the HDD not deleted yet, short at 1.5hr and need a dose of comedy. Thou it was not mentioned, this is a TV movie. It does give you the feel good feeling when it ends everything seem to have its closure nicely. On checking IMDB it is a hallmark romance one and at 6.6. Morale of the story is when you are with someone at work for a long time and real close, you may confuse that is love rather than merely depending. The failure to lunch is logic enough. But the concierge not knowing who is the groom and assuming someone else to be one may be beyond protocol. Yes Georgie looks familiar but unknown. She is Dwayne J gf in ballers.

Billions in Change


This 42 min documentary was downloaded from one of the campaign website. Glad I did. Its about an entrepreneur who had succesfullly become billions $ with his product the 5hr Energy drink. He is an indian by the name of Monaj and reported to be worth $4 Billion. Now rather than spending and showing his worth he spent on doing and providing research that can change the world in the long run.
Here are some of the significant things :-
1. Bicycle energy
A bicycle where you cycle for 1 hr and it provide electrictity for 24 hrs. If not mistaken something like 1,000w of power ?
2. Water
Turning sea water into distilled water which beside drinking can also do other things like water the plants which current conversion method water could not. Very practical in getting water from the sea dont need pumps to do it and also his unit is mobile and compact.
3. Energy from the Earth
Yes by tapping in 2 miles down to the mantle you can get heat energy. You do this with Graphene where heat is not loss during the conducting.
4. ECCP
Some sort of massaging machine (or rather pressure machine) assist pumping your blood and improving circulation and help prevent diseases like dimentia, blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, stroke etc
Powerful stuff and info.

Knock Knock


I saw this movie because Keanu Reeves is in it eventhou it was newly downloaded. The quality of movies from 300mb is great thou the small size. So what can i say about it ? Just because of this movie a new category i have made - Psycho. It is that. i nearly put it under comedy because some parts are like that. KR was so weak like a girl in some parts and stupid too coupled by lame script, plot and acting, its painful to watch at times. Its not that because he had acted in tough roles that this one is so contrary, it just like he had made the benchmark of being weak and helpless being so low that i cant comprehend at all. Dont expect him to be Neo or even John Wick, but this guy - gimme a break !
And the ending is even hanging no conclusion except that a family is wrecked just because of one man sympathy, stupidity and lust. Well thats life. Maybe there'll be a sequel Knock, Knock, Knock. We can never know.
