Grey’s Anatomy Season 5

Fri, 07 Nov 2008, 12:12 pm  

I’ve never figured out how to download shows from the net. That bit-torrent download thingy just spins my head.

So I watch the shows that I want to watch online, after letting the video stream and finish loading.

I used to watch Grey’s through links available on Sidereel….but recently, all the links there seem to take ages to load.

Now, I watch it on Truveo which links to YouTube. The show is usually split up to 6 parts, ranging about 6 minutes per part. True, the quality isn’t great, but at least I don’t have to wait….I’ll just open 6 tabs on my browser, go take a bath, and by the time I’m done, everything is loaded! Yay!

I’m still on my streak of bad movies. This one is one of the worst so far.

Horror? Not really. Comedy? Not really. Action (since Donnie Yen is in the show, one would expect lots of fighting, right?)? Not really. Love story? Not really.

Really really bad filming, storyline and acting…oh yeah, baby, it’s all there.

Seriously, if you’re going with the expectations of really good fight scenes, you’ll be seriously seriously disappointed (sorry about the repeated ’seriously’s…been rewatching Grey’s Anatomy recently… :mrgreen: ). Honestly, don’t waste your money watching this in the cinema, just go buy the RM10 DVD from your nearby friendly pirated DVD shop… :lol:

I don’t know how Zhou Xun, who won the Best Actress award for her role in Perhaps Love, ended up in this farce of a show. However, the rest of the cast were so lousy that I ended up rooting for her huli jing character instead.

Speaking of huli jings, don’t we all know one girl that reminds you of one? The one that all guys go ga-ga for but all girls mistrust? :lol:

As much as I wanted to like Sex and the City: The Movie, I came away feeling…rather disgruntled…after watching it. I suppose die hard fans would still love and rave about the movie, but I personally think that they should have left it as a series and ended it there.

Sure, it was nice to see where Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha & Miranda (my least favorite character in the whole series) have ended up four years later, but the movie seemed to have blown their characters into over-the-top caricatures of who they were in the series. Carrie became more whiny, Miranda more irritating, Samantha had too much of her ‘*uck me now’ expression throughout the whole show…the only one that remained likeable was Charlotte. And that was because she looses her cool in the show, else she would’ve been just as prissy as she was in the series. As one critic said:

“[the ladies] have become frozen, Spice Girls-style types - angsty, neurotic, predatory, princess - rather than individuals who might evolve or surprise us”

And the blatant product placements! I’ve read about how over the top it was even before watching the show, but even as prepared as I was (coz I read some early reviews before watching), I couldn’t help rolling my eyes throughout the bridal gown model shoot and that in-your-face iPhone and LV scene.

Ultimately, it feels like they are trying to milk the popularity of the series for all it’s worth while they still can.

It’s a nice enough chic/chick flick for a Sunday afternoon, and as long as you don’t expect this show to recapture the magic of the series like I did, you shouldn’t be too disappointed. As for me, give me Iron Man to watch again and I’ll be a whole lot happier… :mrgreen:

Oh dear god just put me out of my misery. Yes, the reviews were right…this movie STINKS. They should’ve just buried it with Imhotep in Mummy 2 and let it rot.

The storyline sucked. There were inconsistencies throughout the story…example, did someone shave Emperor Han before putting him in his clay Russian doll thingy? Coz he had a beard before dying and he came back all clean shaven and such.

The CGI sucked. Just look at the yeti…so fake they would’ve probably achieved similar or better results with extras hiding inside costumes.

Luke Ford sucked…he is as irritating as young Alex from Mummy 2. Even worse coz now we have to contend with his smug mug.

And Maria Bello DEFINITELY sucked. Not only did she have no chemistry whatsoever with Brendan Fraser, she looked like his mother and she totally totally ruined the character of Evie Carnahan.

Rachel Weisz was one smart cookie for spotting ‘problems with the script’ and declining to rejoin the cast in this Mummy outing.

According to Wiki:

Actress Maria Bello stated in an interview that another Mummy film will “absolutely” be made, and that she has already signed on. Actor Luke Ford is signed on for a total of three films. Bello even hinted the fourth may be in South America, keeping with Jonathan’s move to Peru at the end.

Well, we can expect at least a fourth stinking sinking rotting sequel then.
