Don't Go Breaking My Heart

Last night I watched the HK romcom from Johnnie To, Don't Go Breaking My Heart and I enjoyed it very much despite the fact that I don't agree with the ending at all. Louis Koo was handsome and the rythm and flow of the film was perfect.

Pride And Prejudice (2005), Turning Angel

Last night I have watched Pride and Prejudice (2005) again. I wonder why this adaptation has so many fans when clearly BBC one is still the best out there. First it is not really possible to cram the novel into a film format so director Joe Wright wisely chose to cut what is not essential to the plot and I agree with him on that but at the same time I can't help but think the story half baked. I wouldn't care so much about the characters if I have not read the novel.

I also don't really like Kiera Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet. She is a fine actor and very pretty but somehow her Elizabeth came off as mean and mocking (generally being the person she critisizes others to be)

I also started reading Turning Angel by Greg Isles and so far it is going great. There is something about stories in Southern areas of USA.

I'm Number Four-End, Detective Dee and The Mystery of the Phantom Flame

Last night I have watched Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame which was an OK film, not bad but nothing special.

I also finished I'm Number Four at the shuttle while coming to work. It was an easy read and that is the best thing I can say about it.

True Blood Season 3 - End, Love In The Time of Cholera - End, I'm Number Four

I have finished True Blood Season 3 last night and it was a blast. I really like these series but also realise that they are not going in a good direction. Anyway looks like I'll stick to them and not just for eye candy.

Love In The Time of Cholera is a good book and I liked it, on the other hand while I admire GGM's prose, it is not for me. I don't feel a connection.

And even though I was not going to buy any new books, I purchased I'm Number Four on a whim and it was the wrong book to follow up Marquez. The prose seem like it is written by a kid or something.

What's Up Fox? - End, True Blood Season 3

I liked What's Up Fox? a lot. It was not marathoning material (the last time I marathoned was City Hall I think???) but really enjoyable.

I'm watching True Blood season 3 and despite the fact that it is turning out to be an Anita Blake novel I like it very very much.

What's Up Fox? Eps.1 & 2

I really like this drama despite the vulgar jokes.
