Been watching English TV series recently
The most notable are:

Prison Break ( currently watching Season2 )
Heroes
Supernatural

Didn't chase much of this earlier on but it seems I am hooked to them. Interesting and revolving story lines just makes you want to keep watching.

Movies :

Babel(a confusion of voices and other sounds )
2 hr 15 minutes long.

I went to search for the definition of the word after I watched 15 minutes into it.At least 50 % of the show were alien language to me. I guess that's what the Director wanted the audience to feel as per to why they name it that way.

Slowly as the show goes, you will realize whats is happening and somewhat, the language you are listening are not important anymore. Just concentrate on the actors/actress emotions and acting portrayed and the story line falls right back in place. There were a few small details spoken in alien language but I manged to understand through the synopsis I read later on.

Hopefully it will be subtitled and I can better understand the show.I don't mind watching it again. Haha.

Norbit

Another Eddie Murphy Classic. Multiple Character portrayal with just one actor. I am just baffled at how they put the same people in the same scene. The most interesting one was he morphing himself to a Chinese old man. It got me searching the internet for clips on it and the make up sure look pretty long.
A good laugh for your money.

Ghost Rider

Somehow, it's one of the top box office hits this year. Why so? I am totally baffled too. The story is very dull and at the end of the show, I only managed to say : "Huh, finished? " I guess its rated highly for the CG and effects done. really amazing stuff . And the credits part, a list of animators and visual effects people. Now I understand why films cost millions beside the cast and location side.


Well, its reaching March and I have been officially out of job for 3 months. Time to start digging hard else my wallets gonna burn another danm big hole with my heavy food eating habits.
