TV
Series you should watch
SUITS
I haven’t really found
any good TV series lately, they all look alike. But of course, there always are
exceptions. Like Suits, one of the few good TV series I’ve seen. It’s certainly
something new, refreshing the boring and dull American series which lose
themselves in the too long story.
While running from
a drug deal gone bad, Mike Ross, a brilliant young college-dropout, slips into
a job interview with one of New York City's best legal closers, Harvey Specter.
Harvey takes a gamble and hires Mike on the spot after he recognizes his raw talent
and photographic memory. Mike and Harvey are a winning team. Even though Mike
is a genius, he still has a lot to learn about law. And while Harvey may seem
like an emotionless, cold-blooded shark, Mike's sympathy and concern for their
cases and clients will help remind Harvey why he went into law in the first
place.
Suits is smart, sassy, clever, sophisticated, timely and incredibly entertaining.
If you’re looking for a show that will keep you awake, this is it. I bet you’ll
be amazed. You’ll never find yourself bored, and you won’t be able to wait till
the next episode.

When hearing the name
of Tim Burton, you expect to be amazed, to be stunned. The cast guided by
Johnny Depp, continuing with Michelle Pfeiffer and ending with Helena Bohnam
Carter can’t be more attractive. You can’t wait to see this film, and you end
up with the biggest disappointment you could get. The story sounds interesting,
but seeing it on the screen, not so much.
In the year 1752,
Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool,
England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to
escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and
Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet-or at least the town of
Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful
and an inveterate playboy...until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the
heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word,
Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and
then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed
from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to
Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The
dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each
harboring their own dark secrets.
I really liked all the
previous Tim Burton works, but this one
was a disaster. Burton spent so much effort and time worrying about making
this film Gothic and off pace, stuffing his favorite actors into the film even
though half of their parts were pointless, he forgot he was making a film. There are hardly
any entertaining moments, an extremely weak plot, and some very average acting.
Sure, Johnny Depp may be a brilliant actor, but there's only so much an actor
can do to salvage an immensely boring film. For me this movie was only a
waste of time, and I don’t recommend it to anyone.
