It's All About The Originals!!

The Mikaelsons just keep delivering one good episode after another, The Originals , which I would call one of the best and most successful Spin-off's  has been Ah-Mazing so far! The plot is developing at a good pace and the characters are all brilliant!! I mean it doesn't matter how many sad emotional monologues they deliver, they always know exactly what to say to make us love them even more. Klaus has been changing (yes they're tiny tiny baby steps) but there's a change and he's trying his best to make it work out with his siblings and well everyone else around him (who doesn't want to kill him), Elijah is still the most loyal,loving, bad-ass brother ever. always looking out for his family and protecting them at all costs, even from themselves! Rebekah, whom I was not a fan of when she was first introduced on TVD (what is this show btw...sounds familiar...) has really developed and became a powerful character. really different from when we first met her and she was all childish and annoying!

They did some bold moves by getting rid of some annoying characters UGH what's her face that annoying witch...seriously can't remember her name...I think of her annoying face and I just go blank on the name!! wth was it....anyways it was probably something annoying as well. Killing her off was a Good move and I approve of it. more of that, everytime we get an sucky character please kill them off! I wanted Cami gone at first because she was all whiny and just boring, but ever since she got her shit together and fixed her brain, she's been ok, and yes I admit it her scenes with Klaus are nice, maybe its because she brings out the playful yet devilish side in him! Adorable.let's see oh yeah that's right Hayley is still there, of course she is I mean she's the one who's knocked up and is carrying the King's child and Heir so yeah I guess she's important, she's trying to save her werewolf family by hanging out with them in the woods, dancing around the fire with a bunch of naked hunks! yeah typical day for her....

Back to the main point , that is, THE ORIGINALS, is simply the best thing on tv at the moment...with probably one of the best and most talented cast. Seriously.. what TVD...what is that..who knows...something from the past I'm sure. All I know is there's a new Vampire Kingdom taking over and it's all About the Mikaelsons!! 

I mean look at this....where will you get something like this!

OR OR THIS

man this crazy bastard was one scary powerful witch, That's right another good awesome thing about the Originals, the witches actually KICK ASS and know what they're doing!! 

Papa Tunde you rocked!! 

so yeah leave the light and come to the dark side of New Orleans and start watching The ORIGINALS!!

They're actually really nice people..see...

Foreign Films- A Different Kind of Art

It's always interesting to discover something out of the ordinary. Stumbling across something we normally wouldn't think of checking out, could at times turn out to be quite amusing. That's exactly how I feel about foreign movies. We've gotten so used to watching Western movies that we never consider what others have to offer. All the time thinking , this is as good as it gets, nothing can be better than this movie, or that story was the best, these actors are superb, no one can top that. On the contrary, I have discovered that foreign movies are true contenders for western movies. There's this thing about them that I find genuinely appealing, both story-wise and acting-wise. Yes at times it's not the big mega production type with the big names, but you know what, that works! The simpler the better apparently. Because when a story is simple and normal and innocent it just has a different feel to it. I haven't seen a lot of foreign films to call myself an expert here, but I've seen my fair share and so far I like them all. Although my genre has been somewhat the same for all the movies I've seen (those sad-dramatic-romance-types- that- rip-your-heart-apart-and-make-your-eyes-leak-without-you-realizing- it!) yeah those movies are my guilty pleasure and I love it! I'm a sucker for these stories and I can't seem to get enough of them. So far it's all about the Japanese movies, man they can deliver some good heart-wrenching drama! The acting isn't bad not at ALL, as most people would assume, and just because the leads hardly ever kiss , or if they do, it's the most G-rated kiss ever, doesn't take anything away from the beauty of the story being told through the eyes of their characters. When a movie is like that you can't help but feel the authenticity and purity of the story and that just makes it 10-times better! Also a very important aspect (personally for me) when it comes to watching these movies, if they don't make me cry, whether its tears of sadness or joy, then I can't really say I liked it that much. There's always a specific moment, or scene, or word or maybe just a long stare between two lovers that will get to you and bring  on the waterworks. I LOVE THOSE MOMENTS!
Now it's not all about the romance , I've seen other genres as well, action and thrillers, from countries including, Germany, France and Sweden. I must say I liked the Swedish one the most, it was pretty intense and shit just escalated quickly in that one I remember thinking "What the hell is happening!! Everyone is getting shot at!", they were all interesting and I would definitely watch more of them.
So like that old saying goes "Don't judge a book by its cover" just because its not some hot-shot drop dead gorgeous leads on the poster , doesn't mean it'll be a bad movie or the acting would be bad or the story just wont be interesting. Give it a chance before you judge it, you might discover something quite fascinating.
