Pokemon The Series XY Collection 1 (Series DVD Collection Review)
Hey everyone, sorry for being so slack on reviews but I really haven't been in the mood for doing any reviews lately so I haven't been doing much. At the moment I am watching Pokemon XY so I thought I might do a review on the collection released by Beyond Home Entertainment.
The series XY continues on from the previous Black and White series in which Ash and Pikachu go on and continue their journey by visiting the Kalos region. Just like when Ash traveled to Sinnoh and Hoenn, Ash decided to leave all his old Pokemon behind once again except for his partner Pikachu.
I know this series has similarities between the first season and the Ruby and Sapphire arc in which for one thing, the opening uses the same lyrics as the original series, and also (Spoiler Alert), Ash loses his gym battle and decided to train up his Pokemon. Oh yea, did I mention that there's a girl chasing Ash??? Let's not reveal too much so soon :) Also in this series Ash travels with with a young girl who is still too young to be a trainer(remember Max??) though she doesn't have the brains Max did, but let's not compare them :P
A few things that has changed is that Ash's region starter isn't a grass type, and Ash has had some cosmetic changes which I don't think are too noticeable. Also Ash's male friend doesn't have the different eyes Cilan and Brock had, but we are introduced to the art of science :) Oh yea, whenever there's a TBC the episode usually ends as a cliff hanger which is a bit different to usual episodes which normally end. This is usually because the story for that episode ends but then they bring in a bit of the story for the next episode to make that cliff hang, annoying! >< Don't get me started on Nurse Joy ai-ya!
That's all I want to say about the series at the moment anyway. For the series I think it's pretty average but it's quite enjoyable at the same time. My rating would be 7.5/10 :D The series follows what normally happens in each series so there's nothing much different, just new Pokemon and characters etc.
As for this collection, I like how Beyond has finally taken the time to make a nice selection screen instead of just a list of episode so good job! Just like the usual designs, Beyond has split up this series into two collections. This collection features a red and blue Poke-Ball, though I'm not certain if they just made that Poke-Ball or not, the design continues on from the previous collections so yey :D
So what's missing from this collection?? I know many people are still wanting subs and Japanese versions, but I guess it can't be helped too much, but why no English subs?? Let's hope everyone knows what they're saying right?? I also noticed that the audio is still 2.0 so that's not too great, but it's still typical for a TV show. At the moment I'm still waiting for Blu-Ray releases of the series so Beyond Home Entertainment, please keep that in mind!!
Not much else to say really, so let's leave it there. If you're wondering how much I got it for, it was around $18 price matched on Mightyape, so it's pretty normal. Usually it sells for around $25 so if you can, be sure to price match it to save yourself some $$. Until next time, cya!

Stalker (TV Show)
Stalker is a thrilling and suspenseful drama about victims being stalked. The main characters are Jack Larsen portrayed by Dylan McDermott and Beth Davis portrayed by Maggie Q, both who are members of the Threat Assessment Unit. What is different with this show to other shows I have seen is that it sets itself apart from the usual murder cases you see with shows such as NCIS and CSI as it deals with usually (alive) victims who are or have been attacked, and the main characters in a role you'd expect people to have guns with, without carrying guns on your normal basis. Also one of the main characters has a secret life of their own by doing something bad, something few shows touch on.
A good example of suspense and thrill would be episode 2. At the start you think a stalker might appear, and you get ready for that scare, but then you realise that there's nothing that scary at all, you just become scared of nothing.
Although this show got pretty bad reviews, I actually enjoy this show and was waiting to watch it for quite some time. Because Maggie Q stars in this show, I think it has influenced my review but I do enjoy watching this show.
I'll be back with another review on this show later on maybe, but for now I quite enjoy it, shorry for not doing such an in-depth review. I'll give it a 7.5/10. I think it'll give you a new perspective on TV dramas and also on how stalkers(may) work. But anyway, hope you enjoyed this review. See you all next time, bye!

How to Get Away with Murder (Ep1 TV Show Review)
Hey everyone, I'm currently watching the first episode of How to Get Away with Murder. I've heard of it for quite some time now and finally it's started airing in NZ. Anyway, from what I've seen so far within the few minutes of this show, the series starts off at present where a group of college students have just killed someone(unknown) and we are later brought back to before the murder happened(day one of college). I was unsure of this happening until I saw the scene of a statue figure interchanged between the past and present day(seems a bit confusing but you'll understand once you see the show).
So far, the show is pretty interesting, I just wondering if the person killed is who we think it is, and why the students killed someone. My thoughts is that it's just an assignment, but it'd be a bit strange if that really happened. If you're looking for a mysterious show then this is the one for you! I absolutely love these sorts of shows. I never did a review on God's Gift yet(Korean Drama) but I'll do one on that soon as it's a pretty mysterious show too.
But yea anyway, so far I'd give this show a 7.5/10. I'm excited to know what will happen in later episodes. As the film progresses, I believe that in this show the characters are portrayed as not entirely good or bad, some worse than others. I think that maybe one of the characters were only helping to kill, but too soon to make assumptions. See you guys next time, bye!

I'm Back!
Hey guys, it's been quite a while hasn't it?? I think the last time I posted was just a few days after my exam period and after that I sort of forgot because of my holiday, but I've been having a break and I'm finally back to posting. I've seen quite a few movies and dramas which I'll be reviewing over the next few days to make up for my lack of posts. So anyway, thanks for sticking by for so long! I'll be changing the layout a tiny bit so that the info is more easily understood, thanks :)
