I like you Nicky but this is just painful. But I do like you!
Anyway, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR everyone! May the dragon fly past, turn back, stop in front and say Hi to you! Fortune showers, blessings galore, money money money and good radiant health to all!
Time for some spring cleaning! I have imported all older posts and retained only those essential ones here. For the archived posts, check out Archived Blog. I think I will clean that up later also. About 1000 plus posts there and I am sure I have accidentally deleted a few hundred when I was moving posts here and there. As usual, template still very much a work in progress. Hopefully will get it done soon when inspired!

Check out my review here. I haven't written a proper length review for a long time. Feel rather rusty!

I avoided spoilers for these past few days. My new mantra for the last 2 episode was "Let Lo Yat live! Let Lo Yat live!" Finally saw the last 2 episodes and
SPOILERS!!!
Ep 20 was brilliant. Love the ending for the villains. But ep 21 was a complete waste of time and one single episode made the entire sries darn stupid. Oi! This is 1920s not like ancient China! You got stabbed you go to hospital! NO! He had to stagger almost entire night until morning, went onto a boat and die! When for that 10 hours or so he could have staggered to the hospital and save his own life! I don’t get it! What a stupid ending!! Drama for drama sake! At least it isn’t Lo Yat! Why does TVB have to spoil such a good series with this stupid last episode?! How can a half dying man with a knife in his stomach can wander around guangzhou and no one knew? NO ONE KNEW!! Drama for drama sake. Again I repeat, at least it isn’t Lo Yat!
But the past 20 episodes, this series was a winner. Just ignore ep 21. It does not exist. There is no ep 21.

Seriously, the 2 Raymonds should be nominated next year but I feel by that time their excellent performance would have been forgotten. Another would be Eric Li whom I expect to be darn evil but right now, no sign of being evil at all. A big surprise. I have a mantra now; let LuoYat be good. Let Luo Yat be good!

14.12.2011I am at Episode 7 or 8, can't remember and I have used all manner of cursing against Raymond's Tung Boon Sin. Poor poor Tsui Sum. Nikki Chow still a terrible actress. What a waste of a good role.
12.12.2011I am at Episode 5 and seriously enjoying this series. So the acting by Nicki Chow is horrendous but everybody else is great and Raymond Wong is doing great. Story is engaging. Are you watching? But do ignore the screeching that is called singing for the themesong.

Wouldn't it be great if Milk Candy Girl is another girl and so our hero Boon Sin has to choose between Milk Candy Girl and Tsui Sum? Even better if the Ko adopted this Milk Candy Girl? But will never happen in such epic proportion. The Kos are too selfish to love anyone but themselves. But wouldn't it be just great IF the Milk Candy Girl is someone else? That reminds me of Jacky Cheung's song; "One side has gratitude; the other side is love" or something like that.

When was the last time I saw an actor smoke in a TVB series? I can't remember. Tonight, Raymond light up a ciggie and did it with such casualness and yet with such force to the lighter and then puff and then exhale, I practically cheered because damn it, you want Shanghai Bund era? Well you must smoke and look cool! It is almost indecent! Anyway great series. Really enjoying the story!23.12.2011

Ok I retract my statement about the themesong. It is ok, except for the Ahhhh ahhhh ahhh haaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa part which was excruciating. Does sound like Nikki Chow doesn't it? Anyway can't remember which episode but love the scenes Tung scolded poor Tsui Sum like a dog. Seriously entertaining series.14.12.2011

I am watching Bottled Passion, starring Raymond Wong ((he's gonna be a villain!!) and tailor made role for her, Nicki Chow. I find it interesting with all the hallmarks of a Lee Tim Shing production. Yeah rehashed stuff but darn interesting. Raymond Wong looks pale but he can act. Nicki Chow however.. pretty, older, wiser looking, improved a bit but overall still god awful. This role should have been Tavia Yeung's, before her nose job. Shall post more in this post when I have anything more to say. So far I am very curious; where is limping Milk Candy girl and who will play her? Don't tell me! Wanna find out for myself. Anyway love the Chinese title. It sounds like a comedy with play of words but this is a very serious drama. So I find the title not suitable but quite inventive. It is "Ngo Dik Yu Yi Long Gwan" which normally means "My ideal husband/partner in life" but the word Long here is not the usual word, it means "wolf" or someone with dishonest intentions and so the title became "My dastardly husband". Interesting!
I am watching No Regrets, it is ending this Saturday and I haven't talked much because it is a series with a heavy subject and I can honestly say, I am wowed by the actors who made an effort to sound like they were speaking Japanese and I know they did, however their pronunciation since I recognised some words and they all sounded credible and I know they were all TVB actors but maybe the fluent ones may be some other people. Kudos to them and I may laugh at Kam Kong (is that his name?) but he gave as commendable performance. I really like Wayne here as the righteous, and Pierre Ngo as Lau Sing, the increasingly brave Pai Kwat. Love the way he shot Kam Kong to death but the best was Sheren Teng shooting that despicable Japanese 3 times. What a woman and a very strong female character. I even like Raymond Wong as Yeung Yeung, something very old fashion goodness about him that makes him best suited for this era, like Kenneth Ma is except Raymond Wong is a better actor. I would have liked Fala Chen more if she didn't have so much role. I don't get it; why is she having so much role? For a while I was fed up with so much of her scenes and wished her dead and I still do. 8 years and for someone with a serious heart disease she is still very much alive.
But I nearly shed a tear for Leung Fei Fan that is Evergreen Mak. Oh he was despicable, wished him dead and yet when he died, like Lau Sing and Pai Kwat, I felt very sad. His end was pretty sad and he did die with a clear conscience.
Anyway ending soon. I want a happy ending. But I just can't stand the aunty Susan Tse. 8 years, even when Japanese was occupying China, she was busy comploting Kau Mui's downfall. You know woman, there are other more important things to do!!
But of course No Regrets have its regrets, like how anyone could just stroll up to the concentration camp and throw food. One wonders were the Japanese blind at that time?
I think I will write a review for this. It deserves such a treatment rather than just scattered opinion.

Welcome to Point2Entertainment, basically a blog about everything opinion based. Been here since about a decade ago under different names so this is like the nth template change. Old friends may notice I am a bit slow on reviews these days but hey, from time to time there are some added, whether by me or someone else. Nowadays this blog is more of a "reaction" blog; my reaction to everything I see, feel, experience. Nothing too personal though but it is still "reviews...comments...opinions". New features I like is that navigation menu (rather pretty), this tabbed menu (rather cool) and the best of all, the Table of Contents pages which you must see to know what I mean! It just makes posts so much easier to search! For old posts (some 1000 of them!), do check out Archived Blog which is messy but functional. Feel free to comment, whether using the Post A Comment link or Shoutbox. Any reviews? Send them to me! To all those who stumbled in, welcome! To returning chatty readers, post away! To silent readers, welcome back and do post sometimes! Thank you & I hope you will enjoy my humble small (hopefully) gorgeous functional blog!
