SELECTED POSTS
This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is
actually the index page of this website has
grown into a huge database of my almost
daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to
my heart, including gossips of the most
sordid kind. For your convenience, I have
posted a list of posts which I thought is
pretty informative in my own way that you
might find interesting. The list itself may
be long but those selected few are the ones
I thought drives home the point I wanted to
make. Do check them out in
MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].
SERIES' SUMMARIES
Sometime in 2004 I began
reviewing selected
series in an episode by
episode way, where I
called these reviews
EPISODIC THOUGHTS.
These thoughts are
mostly summaries of each
and every episode with
my opinion of that
episode included in it
as well. I may not
provide the most in
depth summaries but I am
very proud of the fact
that I could keep the
writing on such a long
winded basis each and
every night for the
entirety of the series.
I don't do this for each
and every series though
because it kills a lot
of brain cells, mine as
well as fellow netizens
who often joined in the
discussion by posting
informative stuff. These
thoughts are still open
for feedback and
discussion. Do check
them all out in
REVIEWS where it is
indicated with an
[E]
next to my name.
OFFBEAT STUFF
There is this one
section in here that
features offbeat stuff
that are not
entertainment based. The

personal favourites of
all kinds.
THE DDGs [COMMENTS
& OPINIONS] which

AI & PITNOL & HK Awards & Announcements
Permanent link ▫ ▫  
AI
I saw Matt Rogers got booted today. Not shocking but I love his goodbye performance. He is charismatic and has a lovely smile. I have a feeling he will do great as an actor in a buddy film and I hope to see more of him. Simon has always been severely critical of him and I believe that is one of Simon's blinded biasness. Latoya London, I read looks like she is sleepwalking through the show. I find that funny but very true. Now I look forward to Thursday and I think is the Motown night.
PITNOL
Tonight at 9.30pm at Astro's Wah Lai Toi I watched the first episode of Perish In The Name Of Love. The first scene in itself was disturbing, as former princess of the Ming Dynasty kneeling before the Qing King. Of course they both then killed themselves, which was very sad actually. Anyway I am very disappointed with the over dramatic storyline.
Problem 1
Queen (played marvellously by the gorgeous Maggie Siu) was a commoner who became a Queen thus hated by the second in line who is actually a relative of the King and a favourite of the King's mother.
Why this is a problem? Queen a commoner? King's mother hating her? Don't you get what's wrong? The Queen will always be someone who is chosen from some very prominent family and probably by the King's mother. A commoner cannot be Queen. Moreover where is the drama by Maggie being the Queen? Wouldn't it be better if she is a favoruiet concubine of the King? Then of course Cheung Ping cannot be said to be a favourite of the King's mother.
Problem 2
Concubine screaming and bullying the kind hearted Queen
Why this is a problem? Even Empress Dowager Cixi when she was a second in line as a concubine however devious and scheming never showed a bad face to the Queen. Of course rumours had it she later poisoned the Queen but that remained as a speculation. Likewise nobody would dare to scream at the Queen because the Queen has power within the concubines and as noted in this series, she even had the right to cut budget. So it's very annoying to watch such drama when I can't buy all that. The fact that the Queen is kind hearted is irrelevant. Jan Lau's portrayal of the queitly scheming concubine is more accurate and more true.
Problem 3
Chow Sai Hin lying that he farted when it was Cheung Ping who did and thus incurring the wrath of the King's mother and causing Sai Hin to be severly punished by the King's mother.
Why is this a problem? Obvious isn't it. The King's mother said Cheung Ping is the apple in her eye. So whatever Cheung Ping did would be right and perfect. So she farted. So what? She probably wouldn't be punished and King's mother may be even charmed by this sudden accident. And if Cheung Ping have admitted that fact, that evil concubine would not be able to say anything negative. The only reason the scene was like the way it was is because to show how gallant and brave Sai Hin is and how loving he is to Cheung Ping. To me it showed Cheung Ping as such a coward who didn't know her influence on the King's mother. She never even said anything when the teacher was punished severely.
Problem 4
Sai Hin and Cheung Ping in love.
Why is this a problem? Not really a problem but we are constantly reminded every 2 minutes that they are made for each other. By the end of episode 1 I had enough of that over sweet love story that didn't have a beginning but certainly will have an end. From the start we all know Sai Hin and Cheung Ping is in love. So get over it!
Problem 5
How old is Cheung Ping? The evil concubine said every since the Queen came into the palace, for 8 years the King never visited her. So I assume Cheung Ping is 7 (since pregnancy is about 9 months plus a few months for conception) and Sai Hin may be afew years older, maybe 12?
Why is this a problem? The kid playing Sai Hin is the right age if Sai Hin is a young teenager but the girl who plays Cheung Ping is too old. But the young actors did quite a good job.
Problem 6
Maggie Siu and Moses Chan parents of Charmaine Sheh!
Why is this a problem? Obvious isn't it? If Cheung Ping was 8, I say ok, right age to play parents. But When Cheung Ping is 18 (zooming 10 years later), Maggie Siu looks too young to be her mom and Moses Chan too young to be her dad. But assuming Maggie Siu married into the palace when she was a young teen, maybe. But Maggie Siu looks great for her age, she should not play a mother.
Problem 7
Moses Chan and Sonija Kwok.
Why is this a problem? I predict these two will be a problem to this series, especially Sonija Kwok a horrible horrible actress. Just 2 minutes of promo and she already irritated me with her sleep walking and effortless acting. When people say effortless mean this person is so good she can do it all by not trying at all. But for Sonija Kwok this means she is so bad she looks like she isn't trying at all!!
As for Charmaine Sheh (pretty looking but looks old because too thin) and Steven Ma (too tanned and again too dramatic in his expressions), I will reserve my comments as the episodes go by.
I will be sure to add the above in my upcoming review of this series.
HK MOVIE AWARDS
I do think Dayo Wong did a brilliant job as a host, injecting the dry show with his witty humour. His best was his monologue about HK films reflecting the social aspect of HK. Some gems here ...
"Some people say they want to buy Simon Yam's costume in the new movie (PTU). Everybody, you can't buy that costume, it's the HK police force uniform"
"Many said the custome of Simon Yam in his new movie is a great cutting. No no ... Simon Yam's body is a great cutting!"
"Some people say HK movies reflect the social aspect of the real HK. I agree... when you sit in a minibus and the driver swerves immediately in a sharp corner, do not curse the drivers. It could be that her husband just died and she has a child who is not her own to look after, so we must understand them (the movie Lost in Time) ..also our local politics is like the movie Turn To The Left Turn To The Right (I can't remember the exact title but it starred Gigi Leung - this was such a punchline, even Tung Cheee Hwa was laughing hard)"
"We have 2 hosts and 2 winners and all of whom can't speak proper Cantonese. Ladies and gentleman, our movie awards has truly gone international!" (the best I believe, I was laughing so hard)
Just some gems. There are many more but it is very difficult to translate. Definitely a host that is on the same rank as Billy Crystal! But the intros were horrible, so preachy and pretending!
ANNOUNCEMENTS
On a brighter note, new reviews coming and I am rewriting my Square Pegs review. Most upcoming reviews are very well written movie reviews written by fellow Malaysian.
By the way the tag board is a now free for all discussion tag board. I will be removing the topic thing soon.
AND do check out The Storytellers please!
And submissions! More submissions!
