It didn’t take long for me to be glued to this underrated series, which is seemed to be making airwaves among critics more than the public. I’m no fan of Claire Danes but she’s acting out of her skin in this thriller of a show. Homeland is a drama/thriller series developed...
We Bought a Zoo (Movie Review)
posted by Gallivanter
I always had a very soft spot for movies that touches on the theme of the death of a loved one. However, I was skeptical about it as I disliked Matt Damon. However, he kind of proved himself to me with this flick, at some point I was thinking to myself that even Jon Bon Jovi could’ve...
Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol (Movie Review)
posted by Gallivanter
I think this movie could arguably be the best of the Mission Impossible movies. Personally, I prefer the 3rd installment with Philip Seymour Hoffman played a starring role as the baddie. There’s some humor in the form of Simon Pegg and lots of over the top action sequences, with the one...
New Year’s Eve (Movie Review)
posted by Gallivanter
The movie lack substance simply because they assembled one too many stars with one too many vignettes. Just how many celebrities can you cram in a movie? How about - James Belushi, Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Jon Bon Jovi, Ludacris, Robert De Niro, Josh Duhamel, Zac Efron, Carla...
Revenge (TV Series Review)
posted by Gallivanter
It took me a while to warm up to and when I did I quickly got hooked to it. The series’ premise is similar to “The Count of Monte Cristo”. I loved that novel and that’s how I got hooked. The casting of Madeleine Stowe was brilliant and she has surely matured as an...
The Help (Movie Review)
posted by Gallivanter
I rarely review movies, only if it’s really good. Like this one, “The Help”. I never thought highly of Emma Stone like Jim Carrey does but that all changed a little when I saw her in “Easy A”, which was a good movie. This movie, set in the 1960s when racism is...
Real Steel – A Movie Review 9/10
posted by Gallivanter
This is a movie based on a formula of “being underdogs” that we have seen before. The difference is, its refined deliverance makes it the best of the formula’s theme. A father-son story climaxing in an underdog vs Goliath motif delivers all the spicy ingredients for an...
The Rise of Group Buying Websites in Malaysia
posted by Gallivanter
Group buying, also known as collective buying, offers products and services at significantly reduced prices on the condition that a minimum number of buyers would make the purchase. As of now, there are 42 group buying websites in Malaysia. Yes, 42!! I believe more are underway. I have even...
Community Season 2 Review
posted by Gallivanter
Now this is how you develop characters while sticking to the game plan of Season 1! This TV series in my opinion is better than Modern Family for its dig at pop culture references and uses lots of cliches and worn-out stories to show what makes pop culture pathetic. It’s not as basic as...
Modern Family Season 2 Review
posted by Gallivanter
I thoroughly enjoyed the first season, and to my surprise, I quickly came to a lull with Season 2. I guess the style of sarcasm was a bore after Season 1′s triumphant debut. There aren’t much character developments and it saw a slump of substance that saw me beginning to develop...
House Season 7 Review
posted by Gallivanter
Finally, after 7 seasons, we see House and Cuddy having a relationship after all these years of teasing each other. However, after a while, you will get bored of their relationship as it ends up being too serious and kills the witty remarks shared between them prior the relationship. I guess...
Community (TV Series) Season 1 Review
posted by Gallivanter
I started to watch this after been trying to find new TV shows to follow. I no longer buy movie DVDs (well, hardly.) and rather spend cash on TV shows. I read reviews online via my favorite critic site, Metacritic, a website that compiles and averages ratings of movies, music, books and TV and...
