Of Hunks, Horror & Hump Day!
Am not one to watch scary films - unless they have Vampires or Werewolves, of course! - much more a weekly TV SHOW filled with scary ghosts... but my, oh my, am I glad I broke down and gave this show, American Horror Story, a chance.... Got the DVD last time I was in Manila and have been watching all of Season 1 the last few days....

some WEEDS are good for ya!
So many familiar and talented movie and TV faces have turned up, too: Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jessica Biel, Alanis Morrisette, Mary Kate Olsen, Albert Brooks, Richard Dreyfuss, Kate del Castillo, to name a few.. all used and fitted in rather nicely, no one wasted in their roles - no matter how small or big, or how long they stayed in the show....I love the way the show is written.... always on the verge of realism and the absurd.... almost like real life... but you do get those instances where something is just too shocking to believe... and yet you say to yourself: "it could happen..."
Anyway, am not much of a reviewer... just a fanatic - whenever a show really captivates me - and this one has got me captivated, through and through.... now bring on Season 6 before Season 7 finishes.....

SMILE (*__*)
Could not help but single out this Charlie Chaplin tune - simple and breathtaking... it simple verses can still get to you - and the casts' delivery is a fresh & beautiful take on this old time classic...

sink your TEETH into THESE SHOWS!!!
The last few weeks I was once again getting caught up on all the TV shows am missing on.... this time out, ac ouple of the VAMPIRE series that are heating up the internet and the boob tubes all over the world: "Vampire Diaries" & "True blood" - both about modern day vampires that, in the tradition of Twilight - breaks all the rules and myth of what we were told to believe in from previous movies and novels, say Dracula or even, The Vampire Chronicles....Let me start with the one I prefer more, The Vampire Diaries"... not only because Ian Somerhalder is one of the three lead cast, though certainly enough reason, but because it has more of the elements I love about my vampire shows... the drama & humour that I loved with Buffy, The Vampire Slayer; the hip and moderness of Gossip Girl (albeit they suck not blood but everything else... LOL); and the mystery and suspense of what one needs to hold the audience for an hour each week... plus to keep me coming back for more.... and did I say, Ian Somerhalder is one of the leads -already a favorite of mine since his Felicity & Lost years... in the show, a la the Vampire Lestat - he is neither good, nor bad... he is wicked but he cares and he loves.... tormented by passion & obsession, Ian definitely stands out of the pack in his role here.... and not to say less of the other casts, too many hunks running around this show, Alive, Dead or Undead...
Now, am not saying that I do not like the other show, "True Blood" - I do like it as well... and being on HBO, the show can get bloddier, racier and more adult oriented... and that it does it job well, really well.... not an episode goes by without flesh flashing on the screen... one of the main characters in the heat of passion... and just plain old Sex, Sex and more Sex.... if Sex really sells, then they do sell alot here... and it is SOLD by every single HOT CAST member... leads... supporting... guests...

New Addiction: The Tudors
The last few weeks, we have been totally addicted and enthralled by SHOWTIME's The Tudors... so addicted that we have seen all 3 SEASONS on DVD at least twice!!! So much to take in, so much history and dialogue... so much so that we even find ourselves GOOGLING for more INFO and reading in the BOOKSHOPS anything and everything else we can to CONFIRM who is who and how close to history the show is... which is to say, pretty close... AND MORE!!!The more part comes from the dramatization of course of the actual stories of the lives and loves of King Henry VIII - and everyone else in his court, in his times... one look at the promotional ads/posters from this SHOWTIME series and you will see that the series has so much added SEX APPEAL - from the actors to the actual scenes... playing the King with so much GUSTO is Jonathan Rhys Meyers - a fave actor of mine from Mission Impossible III, MATCH POINT, August Rush and HUGO BOSS & ENERGIE Ads... one cannot help but be hypnotized by his piercing eyes and acting chops... and the rest of the cast is OUTSTANDING... lots of GREAT ACTORS have come and gone on the show: Sam Neil, Peter OToole, Max Von Sydow, Jeremy Northam, to name a few... and also worth mentioning are Natalie Dormer as Anne Boleyn (shines throughout Season 2) & HOTTIE Henry Cavill as Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk (Series Regular since Season 1)...

am a GLEEK!!!
Since I came home last Monday, it has been non-stop rain in Taipei -- which made it hard to go out and do any kind of exercise... too wet to run by the river, too cold for a dip in the pool (though believe me I still try BOTH!)... and when it rains here like CATS & DOGS, it is even harder to get motivated to run my errands.... so instead, in between catching up with work and personal matters to attend to, I alleviate the monotony of my days by watching GLEE...Did not know much about the show 'cept it is about a High School GLEE Club and that it has a lot of singing and dancing, as I have been seeing the video postings of the show's musical numbers on both YOU TUBE and FACEBOOK... and of course, it just won the latest People's Choice Award for FAVE NEW TV COMEDY SHOW...
What a laugh a minute!!! The show is really funny and fun.... love all the musical numbers - each one entices one to jump up and dance & sing along.... love that all the characters gets their turn in the spotlight - to sing or dance or both... love the WITTY and often jaw dropping dialogue/lines - especially the ones that comes out of Sue's mouth (she is the BRASSY Cheerleading Coach)... love the GAY boy and his FUNNY "SINGLE LADIES" bit.... and don't get me started on the Mohawk boy who plays PUCK, Mark Salling... young Brad Pitt in my opinion with a voice and rhythm to equal the looks.... even the the teacher who heads the GLEE Club is too cool to watch.. not drop dead gorgeous but once he sings and dances - you will be swooning -- for sure!!!Each episode is jam packed with musical numbers - and the choices, albeit funny at times, works for me... I mean what other show can do a MASH UP of The Thong Song with I could Have Danced ALl Nite - lordy!!! So far, a lot of my FAVE songs have been used, Beyonce's HALO, Jordin Sparks' NO AIR, Niel Diamond's SWEET CAROLINE, Lez Miz's ON MY OWN - did I not say eclectic selection... cannot wait what other songs they will be covering...
Just finished watching all 16 episodes this afternoon... and Am craving for more... not even sure how many eps have been shown already... so for sure I will be on the look out for the rest.... or fill my withdrawals with bits and pieces on YOU TUBE...
Try to catch the show - you will be glad to be a GLEEK, too!!!

can't take my eyes... off of him... my ears, too!
so this past weekend I was reminded what I miss most in Taiwan television -- watching One Million Star (Taiwan's American Idol)... i miss seeing some really good, and some, not so good but kinda' funny performances form the local talent... plus I get to practice my Mandarin singing prowess.... hahahahahaha....
I say I miss it as for the last couple of years, we have made a conscious effort to not watch television so much... to not get caught up in any shows religiously that we cannot do anything or go anywhere for fear of missing a single episode... in pother words, we try to avoid being COUCH POTATOES in this household... LOLs.... so, besides an occasional DVD showing, we really do not get to watch TV much...
Anyway, last Friday Lyn & Shaun had a little SHABU SHABU nite for a few friends and us in their new home... so we were there for a good couple of hours and the TV was on... and it just so happened that my FAVE show, One Million Star was on... boy was I hooked, once more... why? because of this guy, Anthony Lee Neely(SP?)... not only does he have a rich, manly voice when singing either English or Chinese (so pure and such control) -he is also blessed with the looks, the cuteness to go with the voice.... take a listen of his version of The Blower's Daughter from the movie, CLOSER - even without looking at him... you will get butterflies in your tummy, GUARANTEED!!!
...and this is him singing a FAVE Chinese song of mine: Wo ZHENDE HAO XIANG NII:

So Long Farrah!
Today I woke up to this SAD NEWS: After her 4 year battle with Cancer, one of Charlie's Original Angels and my Personal Favorite, Farrah Fawcett, dies at 62.
Excerpt from the YAHOO REPORT:
"After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away," Farrah's longtime companion, Ryan O'Neal, said in a statement to Access. "Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world."
A Couple of Beautiful Quotes from fellow Original Angels: Kate Jackson & Jaclyn Smith.

Farrah!
Friday the 15th, NBC airs (aired depending on which time zone you are in...) Farrah's Story, Ms Fawcett's chronicle of her brave battle with CANCER -- since diagnosed back in 2006...
I so wish I could see this... am sure it will be INSPIRATIONAL.... as she has been since making a SPLASH as one of the ORIGINAL Charlie's Angels. Totally underrated, she proved her acting talents in subsequent projects on TV, Movies & the stage, such as Bruning Bed, Extremities, Murder in Texas, Poor Little Rich Girl, etc...
I am one of those boys who grew up with that infamous poster of her in the red bathing suit... watched Charlie's Angels religiously... and even collected photos and memorabilia of her and the show avidly...
Through the years, she has remained an icon, and a household name... through ups and downs, through her relationships... and throughout I have remained a BIG FAN! Always getting excited when I see photos of her in the news; seen her latest projects, etc...
From the recent reports, her health issues has been taking it's toll on her... and no one is sure how much longer she has - fighter that she is... but throughout, she has remained a POSITIVE PERSON - who still believes in MIRACLES... and now, I, along with countless of others - DO PRAY FOR ONE OF HER OWN.
Farrah Fawcett, Forever my most Fave Angel... and one of my most Fave People in the World.

with FRIENDS like these....
Okay, with Thanksgiving just around the corner - I got to thinking about some of the TRADITIONS I had back in San Francisco... family & friends get-together; touch football with friends; pigging out; and the BEST of all, watching the Thanksgiving Episode of FRIENDS! Each and every season, it is the one episode I try not to miss -- they always come up with something really fun and funny... Thank GOD for youtube - one can always catch them, anytime of the year...
Here's the one that started it all for me, "The One With The Football":
and the HILARIOUS one where, "Rachel Makes Dessert"

...last nite I cried....
...over the news of this Taiwanese girl committing suicide at the age of 23... it is SAD enough when one hears or reads about this kind of thing -- even if you do not know the person formally or informally... but when it is someone you feel you kinda' know - it can truly affect you... and that is just what it did to me yesterday...
Ivy Li (Lee) was the 2nd runner up in the 3rd year of the Popular Taiwanese Show, >One Million Star, and she was my FAVORITE from the get go.... This show has become a favorite of ours and would watch religiously every Friday nite... None more so for me, than in the year that Ivy was on.. Week after week, I look forward to hearing her sing be it Chinese, English, or Taiwanese... She was not a Great Looker, but she had style and charm -- and just the right amount of sweetness when she spoke. Real, not trying... and boy, can she sing!!! I actually wished for her to have been the winner but alas, it was not in the cards... and she came in third. I recall being IRATE each week with a judge or two for faulting her for one thing or another - usually for singing in ENGLISH one week, then being told that she was better the week prior singing in English... Lols... it is just really a matter of taste... and one's personal opinion... so I just watched it to enjoy her performances.. and just knew, that she had a promising career ahead of her...
So it pained me to hear that she killed herself just yesterday... and that it had something to do with Love Gone Bad. Truly upsetting and incomprehensible for me... I understand loving someone too much, being sooo hurt that you feel empty and alone... but to actually kill myself - that is just something I cannot see... But it is different for all of us -- and only we can truly battle our own devils... and we deal with them the way we know how... and for some it is this way...
Am just really sorry and was affected by this LOSS of LIFE... One Million Star shines one less with her passing...

Here she sings a Mandarin song from one of her own Idol, A-Lin.

HEROES : Season 3
Just caught the 2 Hour Premiere Episode of Season 3 here in Taiwan last Thursday... on STAR WORLD... Can it be any cooler??? If I was not HOOKED then, am totally or even more HOOKED now.... so many things going on.... so glad I got to see the rest of SEASON 2 via DVD during my last stay in Manila....
The Season looks really promising so far... major Villains... more DRAMA.... lots of new twists - cool (Dr Suresh gets powers!) & sick (Sylar is brother to the Petrelli Brothers!)... aaaah... I cannot wait for the next few episode - that will be tomorrow nite... Sadly, it is way behind here in Taiwan... I see it is already Episode 8 in the US... but it is OK, am more than willing to wait and savour it all....
My only complain from the Premiere Ep is that Elle was let go which made me sad as Kristen Bell is sooo good and funny in her role... but I see from the LINK below that she comes back biiig time later on.... can't wait for that!!!
