Robin Hood Finale

July 3rd, 2009 / No Comments » / by wuhtevah

robinhoodSo the series Robin Hood finally came to an end. I guess the timing was just right because it has dragged on for too long even if it lasted 3 seasons. Robin should have killed the sheriff a long time ago. Instead he just keeps on motioning to kill the sheriff when he has the chance or just tries to scare him. Because of that is the main reason for his undoing (even though he was ultimately killed by Gisbourne’s sister’s poisonous knife slash) in the end.

Yes, Robin Hood died in the 3rd season finale. As did Gisbourne. At that moment I knew then that the tv show has come to a close. They both did become friends unlike in the past when they were bitter enemies. And for good reason as the cause and reason was divulged within the last season. The sheriff was unbelievably alive too after Gisbourne stabbed him and he fell from the top of the castle. It would have been good if they were all alive and repelled the sheriff’s invasion. It was a sad ending for a tv series.

Season 1 was good. Season 2 kind of dragged because Robin Hood could not kill until it was too late … but only good for the sheriff’s men. And good riddance that Marian died at the end of season 2. Her dramatics against Robin were just too plain obvious and the bad guys never noticed she was in cahoots with Robin. Season 3 was a bit disappointing too because of that black guy who joined their group who talks like he is sick. Another female who also joined their group talks just like the black guy.

The actors who portrayed Robin and Gisbourne’s characters fit them well. This was one of the best British tv series in my all time favorite list (even though some characters annoyed me).

Like what you see? Buy me a cup of coffee. I love cappuccinos.

Angels & Demons

July 3rd, 2009 / No Comments » / by wuhtevah

angels_demonsFrankly, this movie was overhyped. I did not enjoy this one bit. It was so boring. I thought there would be some CGI made angels and demons fighting out against one another. But the title it seems, is just a title, nothing more. When a murder of a physicist, Leonardo Vetra, finds a symbolist, Robert Langdon, and Mr. Vetra’s daughter, Vittoria, on an adventure for a secret brotherhood called the Illuminati. Clues lead them all around the Vatican, including the four alters of science, Earth, Air, Fire and Water. An assassin, working for the Illuminati, has captured the cardinals and murders each. Robert and Vittoria also are searching for a new very destructive weapon that could kill millions.

This is what the movie is all about. Nothing more. I have read in news articles that the church condemned this movie because some of the facts shown in the movie are not real? Like people care. Only fanatics would understand deeply nor be concerned about it. I only cared about the action story that I thought is the core of this movie. Plus we see Ewan McGregor doing nothing in the movie except talk to the cardinals until during the last part of the movie where he decidedly took the bomb with him and took off in a chopper. Then again, it turns out he was the overall bad guy, which was not surprising considering that it would be weird casting a top notch actor with no useful role.

Or, it would have been better during the last part of the movie when he was cornered that he took out his lightsaber and used the force to push the cops away. Just daydreaming ha ha. There is not much action here, around 70% all dialogue. So disappointing. And the media helped overhype it.

Where The Safest Place To Sit In An Airplane

July 2nd, 2009 / 1 Comment » / by wuhtevah

airplaneI am sure you have read of the news about a second airbus plane that crashed this month. I read an article in CNN the next day about where the safest place to sit in an airplane to achieve a better survival rate. I heavily agree that the safest would be at the back. For one thing, the plane moves forward and if ever such a crash may occur, people in front would always bear the brunt of the plane’s moving force when it crashes. As such, there is a better survival rate for people sitting at the back.

It is for that same reason why recorders are placed there, to possibly avoid much damage. Then again, there is no such assurance that the back is the safest place. It also depends on how the plane crashes. We can never know the future right? However, a better survival rate is much better than having no survival rate at all, right? Thank goodness there was a child survivor in that Yemeni plane crash. That, is what I call real lucky.
