The Tudors

the-tudors

The Tudors was first presented by Showtime in 2007, and they are back again this year for season 2. Along with Dexter they are producing my favourite TV programs. It is a historical fictional drama about the early reign of the King of England Henry VIII. Henry VIII was famous because he overthrew the Roman Catholic Church so that he could marry Anne Boleyn, and then continued on to marry a total of six times.

In the TV series Henry VIII is played by super handsome Jonathan Rhys Meyers . Along with being very handsome, Jonathan plays the part of Henry perfectly, and makes the series especially compelling.

The first series finished in 2007 and now the BBC is presenting season 2 in HD now – fantastic! 2 thumbs up!

The Tudors 是关于15世纪亨利八世的历史故事，我只记得当我们在学历史的时候，亨利八世为了娶安.波林而推翻天主教罗马教会，这也是英国社会在当时一个重要的转折点，还有他因结了6次婚和推行宗教改革而在英国史上出名了。

在电视上，除了演技出色并超帅气的Jonathan扮演亨利八世这个主角和激动人心的奢华场面，还有最特别的是人物性格描写得特别仔细，这也是亨利八世这部电视剧成功的理由。第一季在2007年放映完毕了，现在BBCHD在放映第二季,值得推荐看的一部电视剧。

Sex and the City Movie

As a big fan of Sex And The City, I have have been waiting to see the movie. London was chosen to host the premier, and all members of the cast showed up in Leicester Square on 12th May 2008. It’s a pity that I wasn’t arriving in the UK until the week after and so missed the chance to see them. Never mind, the movie opened to the public while I was there, and I did get chance to see it.

Love is complicated…

The movie is a continuation of the last season from TV, and begins by filling in the gaps of the time immediately after the close of the TV show. All the actors are very professional and give skillful performances in the movie. The movie contains different elements which will touch and break your heart, as well as give you joy. I will not say too much about the details of the movie, but you will find out when you watch it. Actually I was in tears several times for the humorous conversation, heart-breaking moments, happy unions, and especially the understanding of different kinds of love in the movie.

I enjoyed the movie so much and there are many moment I felt so connected. I guess the movie is also the end of our legendary story of Sex And The City series. Like the movie says: there are always perfect ending in fairy tales, but in reality, there is not always a perfect ending in our lives.

I gave it 4.5 stars of 5.

作为Sex and the City 忠实fans，我们期待已久的电影版终于上映了，虽然我赶不上12号他们来伦敦的首映，但上周末去电影院就让我一饱眼福了。

爱是复杂的…

电影的主题是关于不同的爱，也是续最后一集连续局接下去的故事。有我们期待想发生的，也有我们不想发生但却发生的故事。每个演员的倾力演出让这部电影更加有味道。电影有很多触动人心感人的场面，有幽默的对白和场景，有伤心落泪，幸福的喜悦和女主角们的坚固友情，这都在短短的2个小时里呈现出来。我不能说太多关于剧情，大家到时候看了就知道。感情十分丰富的我，都被很多场面感动得满面泪水。

Sex and the City 就象是陪伴我们一起长大的故事，2008年这部电影也是对这部连续局10年来划上一个句号。象电影里面说的，童话故事都有完美的结局，但现实上不是每个人都有没有完美的结局，但当然我们还是要保持生活的积极态度。我们会想念这个传奇故事的连续剧，我们也会想念他们的服装，更想念曾经陪我们一起走过的岁月。

Dexter – The dark defender

dexter_season_3

I’ve been watching “Dexter” a lot recently and have to say that it’s become one of my favourite TV series. It’s based upon a novel and Michael C. Hall (of Six Feet Under “David” fame) plays the lead character so smoothly and perfectly that the accompanying stories grab your attention from the start.

The story is a little bit bloody, creepy, quirky, dark, and constantly gives you surprises; it’s an emotional and a psychological struggle. Unfortunately it’s only been released on American TV so far, and the story may be a little too risqué for TVB Pearl or ATV World. However, if you get chance then don’t miss this amazing show. I’m definitely looking forward to Season 2.

The story is about Dexter, a blood spatter specialist in Miami who investigates murders during the day and commits his own murders at night. Dexter isn’t just your typical serial killer though, he’s a vigilante killing those who seem to deserve it. At the beginning of the film Dexter tracks and violently murders a child molester. It makes it hard to hate him for his acts because he killed someone who deserved it.

Prison Break

I have a confession. I’m addicted to Prison Break. It’s one of the best dramas I’ve ever seen, and is currently being shown on TVB Pearl every Tuesday night (10:30).

The story centres around Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), sentenced to death for the murder of the Vice President’s brother. We quickly discover that Lincoln is the fall-guy for a vast political conspiracy and, conveniently, his brother Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) is an architectural designer working at the company that designed the prison. As you would imagine from the title, Michael takes it upon himself to use his knowledge to break his brother out of prison.

The series starts with Michael holding up a bank, being caught, and sentenced to the same prison as his brother, where he has to deal with an assortment of prisoners, prison staff, and surprising events. Running parallel to this is the story of Lincoln’s ex-girlfriend, a lawyer, who realises that Lincoln has been framed and decides to clear his name.

The story is a wonderful mixture of suspense and unpredictable plot twists that is guaranteed to make your heart beat faster and keep you watching week after week. Both the prison and the political outside world are full of memorable characters, many of which you love to hate.
