Line Walker (Drama Review)

Hey everyone, today I managed to finish a TVB drama called "Line Walker", I was introduced to this drama from a Youtuber, and I have to say that it's really really good! It is set in Hong Kong and spans over 9 months (though in the end, 3 years has passed). This drama is about cops who go under cover and join gangs and gather intel. Two words to describe this drama, plot twist!! I have never seen such a plot twisting drama before, it is fully action packed, and leaves you hanging with each episode that goes by.

Ok so let me give you some info about this drama, but not enough to reveal too much! So at the beginning of this drama, a cop is pushed off a tall building, this cop arranged for 5 under cover cops to gather intel on certain gangs and people and before much was known he was killed, his last words to another cop was to find the 5 UC's (there was something else but I forgot sorry!). This is actually one thing throughout the entire drama which keeps you watching because you want to know who the 5 cops are. We do not know them all initially because all their info was wiped clean to prevent the information going to the wrong hands, though there are 3 of the 5 who were quickly revealed, as for the last 2, they arrive later, and that's where there comes a plot twist so get ready for a plot twist inside a plot twist!!!!

Another thing in this drama is that there are bad cops the UC's try and sniff out, and then again is some plot twists, especially at the end!! Get ready for that too because you'll be surprised. And with gangs and cops, you can expect there to be guns and fighting, so many that it seems only natural that people can easily avoid bullets!! Also with guns and violence comes death. Quite a lot of well known characters are killed in this drama, something which I have only seen in a handful of dramas, so whoever wrote this drama knew how to plan to use characters well! There was actually one scene which really touched me, something death scenes don't really do, but this one really did. It was actually really painful seeing it, and I'm sure if you watch it too you'd think the same way. I think because of the vulnerability of the characters, it's actually very sad. It's left a very big imprint inside my head. Best death scenes go to.......... Line Walker *clap clap*

And of course with dramas comes romance. I have to say, the way some of them kissed made it look like nothing I've ever seen on a western show(just saying haha). Of course you've got your love triangle, and the couple who do not want to date because they don't want the other to get hurt.

The drama also dealt with domestic abuse which I think they depicted well, though more to the dramatic extreme side as it ended with explosions. Though let me say this, I only see house gasses in Asian dramas, maybe because not as much of us use gas to cook??

Anyway, I think I've talked enough about this drama, I'd give it at least an 8.5/10. It was really good and is a definite must to see!! I've currently moved onto another drama called Joseon Gunman(though I've found that there are many different English names), though I feel like I haven't left the TVB world yet, so I might go and watch another TVB drama soon.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (3DS Game Review)

Hey everyone, I finally got a chance to play the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game and honestly I can't say much about it. Each section is split up into different parts of a story?? and you go around fighting ninjas etc. Each stage unlocks the next in the story. To be honest the game got really repetitive for me, even the characters say the same thing over and over when they fight. There was only two sorts of characters you fight(at least for the first stage), they were ninjas and blue ninjas which looked like Utroms. Yea anyway, as for the fighting, you can play as one of the 4 turtles and switch whenever, there's not much to the fighting too, as you have one set of moves, a special move which has a limit, and a move where you can throw the baddies once in a while into a bin or on the screen. Anyway, all in all I don't really enjoy this game, not quite sure if I'll keep playing, but I can see why I it was so cheap. I'd have to give it a 3/10, there has been better TMNT games, and to be honest, I was more of a fan of the 4 Kids series, but I haven't seen this series yet so I'll need to soon! Anyway, I can't guarantee that you'll like this game, maybe watch some game play videos first before you try the game out! Until next time, bye!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Long Haul (Book Review)

Hey everyone, quick review on a book I got yesterday. I love this series, this time Greg and his family go on a road trip holiday which doesn't go as his mum planned it to be. I got a few laughs out of this book, as I normally do, and to be honest, I was sort of expecting some sort of holiday book for some time now. There's a part near the end of the book which is really funny, when basically everything goes wrong as every small problem from the road trip all comes crashing down into one. But anyway, I really recommend reading this book for some light reading. Usually I get through these books within a hour or two. My raiting is 8.5/10!  I still find it funny how Greg's mum still treats everyone like a kid, and Manny turning a bit evil!

Oh yea, I forgot to say what this book series is all about. Basically, it's about a kid called Greg who was given a Diary by his mum, so he documents his day to day events, and does doodles at the same time on his life. I love the simplicity, and all the funny stuff that happens in this family, I always can't wait for the next book. Well, until next time, bye!

Did anyway notice that he spells Mum, Mom now??!!!  Am I the only one who noticed it?

Avatar the Legend of korra Season 4 Episode 6 Battle of Zaofu (TV Show Review)

Hey everyone, so I watched the latest episode of Korra today, and I'm pretty disappointed actually. So Kuvira fights with Korra one on one for the control of Zaofu, and honestly, I say I was disappointed because her fighting is terrible, I really expected more from Korra, though I'm not quite sure if it's just the people who didn't plan it better or something. But anyway, that's basically what happened actually. Apart from that, Bolin and Varrick are now held to keep working on the vine spirit energy, only to have the train blow up moments later in the episode, but you'll figure it all out once you watch the episode, but really I'm disappointed because once again, hardly anything happened. There used to be so much drive in the Avatar series, and now it's kind of dragging on. But yea anyway, can't wait to see what happens in the end! Well until next time, bye!

Back to the Future Part 1&2 (Movie Review)

Hey everyone, so I watched Back to the Future 2 days ago for some mini holiday time before my next exam on Tuesday, so I won't say too much about the story-line because if you know me by now, I don't like revealing too much like some people do on their blogs. But if you haven't watched the series yet then I'm wondering why you haven't??!!! It's like a classic film most people should have watched at least once in their life-time.

Although the film is titled "Back to the Future", there's not much of a future in the film, actually most of the film looks at the past. Anyway, Michael J. Fox who plays Marty McFly is a teenager who is sent back to 1955, after narrowly escaping some terrorists by jumping into a time machine which is a car. And basically he messes up past events, which prevents his mum and dad from falling in love, basically preventing . In part 2, we follow on from the first movie, and this time it's Marty's future family that's at risk(not just him)

Yea anyway, well for part 1, I really like how they managed to go back "in time", I don't know why, but the actor choices were well picked. It's not my usual film I watch as you may or may not know. As a more Sci-Fi film, most of the gadgets arn't seen until we jump to 2015, where there's flying cars etc, although I wish this was true, it's not T.T but for some reason, the film still has a 80's feel to it even if they tried to make it look like 2015, which seems strange, but when you watch it, you'll realise it.

So, is there a reason why I like this series so much? Not really, quite possibly I grew up watching this film on TV, I know I've seen it many times prior to buying it on Blu-Ray. My mind's really blank here sorry! The film is more story-lime/ comedy than anything I think, but more story-line than anything, though we see some pretty futuristic stuff, in terms of action, there isn't a huge chunk.

Yea, I'm just dragging this on, but the films are really great! I'd give them a 8.5/10! Actually part 3 is the one I never remember, so that one's probably a 7?? But I'll need to watch it again to finalise everything. But yea anyway, if you like time travelling, Sci-Fi stuff, romance(in Part 1), and what people thought of 2015 in the 80's, then go check this film out! Time for me to go, sorry for the really bad review, I am blank for this film, but it's really great!!

Avatar The Legend of Korra Season 4 Episode 5 Enemy at the Gates (TV Show Review)

Hey guys, I watched episode 5 of Legend of Korra yesterday, let's see what's happened without giving too much away. So Kuvira wants to claim Zaofu for the new empire, and we as viewers basically realise how "crazy" she is as she's willing to kill people to get there.

There's an amazing fighting scene with the robots, something which you don't see often on avatar, so there's more of a mix of bending and robotic fighting. We also see who is on who's side properly, and also get ready for the big climax which we can almost expect to happen as a whole army is waiting outside Zaofu. We also see Asami's dad in this episode too. Besides what I've mentioned, there's not much that has happened but I'm really excited for what's going to come. They mentioned that this will be the last for the series, so too bad. I wish they were going to make another series of Avatar!!!

The Prodigal Son (Movie Review)

Hey everyone! I watched this movie yesterday, and first off, I want to say that I got it at a bargain! $1.50!!! Amazing!!! So anyway, this is a 1981 Hong Kong martial arts film written and directed by Sammo Hung starring Yuen Biao as Leung Chang, the main protagonist who has a wealthy family. He was taught martial arts, and fought against numerous guys and won each time, until he faces a girl (later revealed to be a guy) who is in a opera troupe. Leung later finds out that he wasn't taught real martial arts due to the fact that his father didn't want him to be hurt, that's why he won all those previous fights until now.

Overall the film has a different feel to your usual Hong Kong martial arts film, obviously film techniques was limited during that time, but the overall plot is quite different to your usual films these days. It wasn't until maybe half way through the film did I figure out what the plot was actually supposed to be about, though I like how we see Leung learn martial arts, and we as viewers learn some moves at the same time too. Though the film got good reviews and won awards in the past, compared to films now, I fill a bit so-so about this film, it's not good or bad, I feel like it's just a film that passes, though most Hong Kong films during this time were sort of similar so I'm not complaining.

Of course martial arts films have lots of action in it, and this film sure has action. The type of fighting is bloody action, so you see lots of blood. What was new to me was fighting with Chinese Opera characters, they used make-up in one scene which was funny, and also there was a scene in which they fight in a burning building so these are two pretty new types of fighting scenes I have never seen before which is cool.

Yea anyway, overall I'd rate this film a 7/10. I bought a few other martial arts films at a bargain too, so can't wait to watch them! The cheapest was 50 cents!!

100th Post!

Hey everyone, this is a post for everyone who visits my blog, I took a rest for around a week because I managed to accidentally miss a day, and couldn't be bothered after because of exams. I have finished 3 exams, and only have one more left so I do have some spare time now. In actual fact I didn't manage to watch anything new during the period, but today and yesterday I managed to watch some new stuff, so over the next few days I might be posting like crazy, so get ready for that!
