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.

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.

Point Of No Return 
Permanent link Post a Comment

One of the biggest news this year I suspect will be that Charmaine cut her hair for the series Always On Standby. Yeah right.
What's the big deal? She is an actress and a professional one will shave her head if she is required to play a monk or whatever! So kudos to her though frankly that hair looks like Moonlight and I hated that series and I hated her in that series and I hated that character in that series. Her reason for such a short hair (which is not THAT short) is because she just woke up from a coma after surgery to her heard. I wonder how long was her character in coma?? Anyway, she could have cut it shorter as in An Herbalist Affair where she looked cute and all. And some anti-fans dare to go to the Discussion Forum and say she is ugly with that new hairstyle. Frankly, ugly is too much a word to use but you can say she looked way better years before in that stupid series about that stupid character. Oh yes, she was chubby, or a bit more filled, younger and way way way prettier. Even in a stupid series with a stupid character in White Flame she looked better. So frankly yeah yeah she looks bad with this new hairstyle. Too thin.

Anyway a picture..



Oh my, how much Ekin has aged! Now that is shocking. He's 40? Issit?

Ok back to main point, Point of No Return. Yesterday, that is 28.02.2005 was the first episode. I wanted to do an Episodic Thoughts on this but I realised I may be missing some episodes later on so I decided to watch it and then write a review. Problem with nowadays is I watch one episode per day so at the end of 40 episodes I kinda forgot about the first 5 episodes when long time ago I rent tapes and I watch 5 tapes in a day so my memory was still fresh with the plot and all. Except for CTHD (TV Series), I remembered everything. I like the 1st episode BUT Chilam is too old to play that useless brat. I was thinking Raymond Lam and now if you ask me I am thinkin Ron Ng or Bosco but then Charmaine will be too old for them. Hmmm the dilemma.

Anyway wanna ask you all a question. I just discovered an old trailer of CTHD (the series) as well the opening themevideo. You want it? If yes I will upload it.

By the way more clips and songs in Media > Downloads.

Personally, I think Julian's baby face make him look a lot younger than his real age. So, look wise, he suitable for that role.

Anyway, useless brat doesn't neccessarily must be a teenager. You can be 26 and still useless. Maybe during that time, people start schooling later, thus also graduate high school later. So, Julian might be 21 or above in the series.

As for your Charmaine look too old for Ray/Ron/Bosco delima. Just chance the actress loh. :D

At first I thought that Julian was too old to be playing that type of character too but I got used to it after awhile. His acting makes up for it. Frankly, I didn't think Charmaine was suitable for the role, she looks much too old, even older than Julian. And her acting didn't help either.

I agree with kidd, if they were going to cast Ray/Ron/Bosco they could always cast a younger actress as well, like Myolie or Tavia.

Although Charmaine doesn't look as good as when she had some meat, I think she looks better with her current short hair than the long hair she had. She doesn't look youthful but the short hair does help her look less old and her face doesn't look as long and thin.

Actually, both Charmaine and Julian are too old to play their roles... As much as I like Julian, I think he was kinda miscast in this serial. Very hard for me to believe that two 20-plus people in that era would be still schooling (it looked like a primary school, in fact) and fooling around like little kids. The flimsy script didn't help things either.

Agree, agree, agree with everybody. Chilam is a good actor, so he can pull it off but still, it looked like a senior citizens series if you get my meaning. The start of the relationship of Charm and Chilam is quite like Meteor Garden isn't it? In fact Chilam is like F4 except this is B3 (Bully 3) and lot less attitude. I can't believe I am saying this but I thought what's his name? Jerry Yan really looked like a bully in Meteor Garden whilst Chilam looked like he was pretending as one. The script didn't help either. Oh yes I have plenty to say now in my review.
