Now You See Me

(Movie, 2013)

I loved this movie. I watched it twice in an afternoon. Never saw the trailer before but I got interested when I read the synopsis. Fun and intriguing, I like it. 

By the way, the background music/theme sounds like The Hunger Games.

NCIS Los Angeles S04E16 – Lohkay


(TV Series, 2013)

This is the worst episode by far. Lousiest acting ever! Even the main actors looked liked they got tired of what they’re doing. This episode is just plain horrible.

After watching the first 10 episodes, I decided I will not watch this series after this current one. I liked NCIS LA because it’s light and it’s non-episodical. However, every now and then they show personal stories of the characters. It’s alright to let the viewers understand them but it appears to be pushed too hard. I get goosebumps.

As always, the creators decided to make the season finale a major cliffhanger again. It made me think never to watch season finales again unless the new season starts OR not the watch the series altogether. I might go with the latter.

The Call

(Movie, 2013)

For a 911 operator to fail calling during an emergency/eminent threat, that’s grossly idiotic. The Last 30 minutes of the film was horrible (plot-wise). Other than that, the movie was great.
