be great in whatever you decide to do

before i start this post, let me just confess something. i've never watched x-men origins: the wolverine until this morning. as i was procrastinating tidying my room this morning, i decided it might be a good idea to put that movie on. then i discovered hugh jackman. 

well, i've always find him very very attractive. a perfect six-pack. a nice voice (with an australian accent), great actor. there isn't anything that i can't love about this guy, but something in wolverine just made me want to go on a hugh jackman marathon. so i did. 

then i stumbled across this movie.

real steel.

if you think i'm going to tell you what happens, i won't. obviously i'm not a professional movie reviewer, but i think this is one of the best movies i've ever watched. you know when a movie's so good, you shed a tear at the end of the movie? yes it's that good.

on the serious note though, it is phenomenal. the actors are amazing, the story board is amazing, the special effects are amazing. i don't know if hugh jackman is really a boxer or not, but it doesn't change how good the movie is.

i know this is going to sound cheesy, but the movie really brings you up. it makes you think everything (and i stress, EVERYTHING) will work out at the end, as long as you work for it. doesn't matter if you're a man, a woman, or even a robot. you might be clicking on the little red cross button to exit this page, but hear me out.

i will go no further on, but please enjoy a gif of hugh jackman boxing / doing ballet. it's awesome

because it's his bad luck to be the best

as a self-confessed movie addict, i tend to drift away from tv shows. it's not like they're not any good. i just assumed tv shows are less thought-through. then i came across hannibal.

from google images. googles just fantastic.

if you've heard of the silence of the lambs series by thomas harries, you would definitely know who hannibal lecture is. hannibal is a clever yet evil cannibalistic psychiatrist who is destined to be the rival of will graham, a special fbi agent. that's the most in depth i can go into without giving away any of the plot and to hide my lack of knowledge on the novels.

i have to say i have not accepted myself to be so hooked on the tv series. bryan fuller has done a fantastic job on portraying all characters with full details in 13 episodes. the details and set created are phenomenal. there's a scene in one of the beginning episodes, where a murderer's daughter comes home to see the word "cannibals" written on her garage door. even though the camera focuses on the daughter, we can see hannibal blurred out in the backgrounds.

let's be honest here though. i still haven't finished the series, as i cannot watch too many episodes a day. compared to the crazy rate i've gone through "fringe" (4 seasons in 3 days, crazy i know), i've spent a whole week watching one season, which is quite slow. i couldn't actually sleep after the first 6 episodes, giving me the hint that maybe i should either slow down or stop watching.

well to conclude, this is a time-worthy series and if you want something thrilling to watch, you know what to watch. just make sure you lock up doors at night to feel safer when you sleep at night.
