Not feeling well at all today. Whole body aches. MAJOR back pain. Eyes burning. Hands and feet cold. Extreme fatigue and weakness.
I have a feeling of whats to come, and it doesnt look good...

痞子英雄
痞子英雄 (English: Black & White), the latest drama series that aired in Taiwan, finally broadcasted their finale episode yesterday. I've been following this series throughout its first release, and I must say, I am very impressed at the quality at which this series presented itself.
The story involves around two cops where one of them is, for a lack of a better word, a slacker, while the other is a cop who sees every thing with only two sides (good or evil). The two of them are at the extremes when it comes to cop work. One day, their lives becomes intertwined with the Triad boss's daughter, and since then, their unusual relationship begins to develop.
The series aired their final 24th episode yesterday. To put it frankly, this series is nothing like I've ever seen before. Everything in it is believable: story, dialog and action. From the production quality to the level of acting skills, this drama series truly presented the high level of cinematic skills that Taiwan now possess. That said, each episode is of Hollywood movie quality. Dont believe me? Check it out for yourselves.
Action packed, suspenseful and crazy plot twists with a tint of love interests made this drama my number 1 of my list. If you havent check it out yet, shame on you. You can watch the entire series here on Youtube, although it is not English subbed.
A movie of this was announced right after the last episode was aired. In continuation of the story, the movie will follow the plot that was left at the end of the series. Scheduled shoot date begins at the end of 2009.
So if you've been living under a rock and not heard any of this amazing series before, shame. Get out there and start watching. You'll thank me later.

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen
Just got back from watching the new Transformers movie. All I can say is, if it werent for Megan Fox and the giant robots, I would've choked a bitch in the theater. Quite frankly, Michael Bay and his crew made this film according to what they think us fans of the first movie would want. Unfortunately, to them, we are stripped down to nothing more than robot-fanatic Megan Fox stalkers who doesnt care much for a plot. The movie is 2.5 hrs long, with 30min of plot, 30min of Megan Fox and hot girls, and 1.5hrs of big explosions with robots fighting each other. Not that I'm complaining about Megan Fox and the hot girls, but c'mon, 30mins of plot?? WEAK! Gimme something I can chew on and believe in!
Compared to the first movie, this one went overboard with the action sequences and too little in explaining who the new robots (the Fallens) are. If you want a movie where you can just sit back and not use the thing between your ears, then this would be a good flick. Otherwise, you might as well wait for it to come out on BlueRay or something. Or better yet, Red Box.
Rating: 75/100 (First movie: 90/100)
