The Profit
- On pet stores. Hopefully Marcus has turn Giovani's business around
The Brain (Ep 3)
- Surprising that most of what we do are from the subconcious. Thise having problem doing them are having problem with thier subconcious and had to rely on their concious mind to control what they wish to do.

Late Show with Stephen Colbert
- Download because Daniel Craig was the main guest. Really funny the interview was but wasted on playing a sketch of rental cars. Better if to discuss on further 007 projects or something else.

Anyone taller than me - OUT ! Daniel Craig (Co producer)

REVIEWED (full of spoilers)
So one of the most anticapated movie of the year finally came. I was one of the first, proudly proclaimed, to see it in Malaysia (Thursday 11.30am mantinee). The opening was today, but it was already shown midnite.
So here is my report..
Before stepping into the cinema, I had saw some reviews over Youtube and even typed news. The review was not very good. One youtube claimed that it was worst and "dogshit" (not J Jahn). Not everyone review it yet as US screening is only tommorow. Britain was earlier last week Monday. However Chris Stuckman gave mixed reviews.. some good some bad. So now my opinion is entirely mine as I have seen it finally.
Action
You are not dissapointed when it comes to the action. All the actions are great and real because they are close to real. The first one, Mexico carnival, is the most exciting and scarry. Of course JB is no match to Mr Hinx (Batuista) but kindda non JB for him to run (in the car chase) than to face and finish its once and for all. This also happen on the train too.
The scene where the whole desert complex destroyed still bothers me. 007 stole a machine gun and shoot up bad guys along the way. He also shot what seem to be a gas tank. And that is enough to have the whole complex exploded and destroyed. Perhaps, the villains forgot about security as they had busily equipped the complex with hi tech surveillance technology ?
Death not defined
Yes you dont see that in this one especially to Mr Hinx. For him he died after all, but did not seem so during his "death" scene. Maybe he came back alive like Oberhauser did, but he didn't (meaning he died). But why not satisfy the audience by giving one.. After all its at the hands of 007 !
007 Character
Read or heard it that he acted different in this one not like his previous outings. Talking about Craig's Bond of course. We all know he has a dark and cruel side but not a funny side which was potrtayed in this one. But he is not Connery, Moore or even Brosnan. At certain times, its a mistake for him to come out with a trying to be funny one liner which aren't and it spoil the whole scene. He is just not kindda of Bond and many would agree with me.
Acting Time
Mentioning below is on Belucci's acting time. Even Chris Waltz acted quite brief in this 2hr 38min film not worthy of being a co star. Salute to Daniel Craig for acting in almost every scene.
Dialog
This needs mentioning. Its kindda strange in a Bond movie especially Craig's Bond era. Some are cheesy. Even surprising that some should not be the "train of thought" of the conversations. But it happened.
Bond Girls
With so short a screen time and nothing contributing, wonder why they call Monica Belucci as a bond girl ? Co strarring would do fine. And as for Lea which definitely is one, she must be the luckiest actress around to be both appearing as a Bond Girl and also in Mission Impossible. As a villian thou in Ghost Protocol (the one who got thrown out of Burj towers)
Fashion and Style
We all know Bond films is full of style. But why dress up in white tuxedo on a old train running on a hot desert for dinner. This brought up Mandeline's sexy dress, of course. At the desert complex it was Oberhauser who wants both to dress up nicely with suit and dress fit them nicely too.
Music
Overall the soundtrack was good and unlike the usual ones. Except for the car scene which is out of place.
Theme
The theme song by Sam Smith fit the mode of the film nicely. Not one of better ones thou. However, the theme is not that nicely done. Giant octopus, Yucks ! Wonder why in reviews some even admire it.
Finance
Read that this film cost a whopping $300 Mil and over budget to $350 mil ! The film didn't look that expensive to me. So has politics or creative funding works its way to the movie like we suspect in Lone Ranger ? Maybe they are banging on the success of SkyFall crossing the $1B will be no problem. So why not the funders makes some money.
Conclusively, this is still a good film. It feels disappointing as the expectation was much too high judging from the previous outing.

Blindspot Ep 7

Some shooting and tatoos wont hurt, would they ?
REVIEW
Featuring now old Lou Diamond Phillip. Seem that the tatooing tells what to happen very soon after, which dont make sense. Example - finding guns and helicopter parked and ready to go, gimme a break ! Then there's this code found in the library right to the intended page. Quite far fetch. Its fun if you dont take it seriously. But how long will the tatoos on Jane's body got exhausted ? Good shooting thou.

The Brain (Ep 3) 
- Partly. Pity the rock climber died weeks after the interview was taken whilst climbing mountain. As they say, you gotta go when you gotta go or a better one - you ask for it !
 Major Crimes
Not one of the better ones. The Rusty kid seem to be useful and going somewhere but still annoying.
