I usually wouldn’t give shows like this the time of day, but what can I say? I had too much free time last week and unfortunately ran out of shows to watch. Either they are on hiatus, or the usual (for the shows that I really, really liked) it got canceled.

RIP to all the shows that ended too soon.

Right. So Catfish the TV show. The sick, annoying obsession (that I am trying to STOP) started one mundane Monday afternoon. I was browsing online, from one site to another, looking for TV shows to catch up. I tried Sxxxx.. it was okay but eh, I was looking for something else more.. interesting.

“Interesting? You find Catfish interesting?!” Yes I do. I’m a sucker for shows that make people meet for the first time. Buuut not something I would always watch esp if it’s always too romantic and mushy. Meh. I want a show with variety, without it being overdone with drama. 

April has been a mix of good and bad things when it came to TV shows. I’ve come across new good shows worth following, and then the really, really good shows; welcomed back returning TV shows with new episodes lined up for the next few months. And then, the sad part was bidding goodbye, both temporarily and finally to ones that ended too soon, like Constantine.

Sorry for slacking for a few weeks since my last update. I was busy with putting up my portfolio. I tried to finish it within the month before I procrastinate and probably drag it again to the end of the month. I’m proud to say it’s finally done and live since yesterday. Drop by today at AnnaEsguerra.com 🙂

Moving on.. let’s talk about TV shows! I need a breather from all that coding and days straight of sitting down infront of the computer and endlessly checking codes until everything looked ~perfect~. I also have LOTS to talk about it!

Empire was consistent, solid and thrilling right from the start. As such, the ending (…of season one! Don’t fret, there’s going to be a confirmed second season) came too soon. But they did not left without a bang. The last bit of the season finale gives us a glimpse of Lucious’ dark plans of revenge soon as he is free, which we’ll most likely see next season.

Taraji P. Henson’s character definitely carried the show. Cookie is the Empire! I doubt I’ll even stick around if not for her sassiness and BAMF/#ladyboss attitude from the premiere. Oddly enough, it was Terrance Howard who, for me, became lacklustre towards the end of season 1. Yeah, thinking about this show now, it’s Cookie first, their three boys second, and Papa Lyon last who ranks most to least interesting in terms of character growth in the show’s storyline.

It will probably come out as a pointless post, but because I’ve had the pleasure of having free time in the past few days.. I decided to get in with the times and catch up with whatever latest movie offerings I could get my hands on and spend time watching them and paying close attention to the story. Or not.

And today, I’m going to bother you with my thoughts about these films.

Here’s what is after the cut: My list of things I liked/loved/disliked/hated/questioned about per film. Each film will have 16 points, and the last two will be something that’s related to all films.

I will try my best not to namedrop the title or obvious references to avoid it from showing up on search results or getting indexed and possibly be responsible for getting people spoiled with the story. 😛 Ready?
