Scorpion (2014)
Pushes all the cliché buttons, but fails to maximize each characters strengths.
I'm writing this review as i'm watching the pilot, it's action packed but characters seems to bleed out to others, let me explain the waitress who do not seems to understand her own kid, suddenly has insightful character analysis of smart people she just met, i thought there was already a psych on the team (i'm guessing it's because they need a love interest for the main character), the main character believes he is smarter than Einstein and it's ridiculous!, why? well probably if Einstein would have been tested in 2014 he would have a higher IQ (i'm just guessing but tests performed back then are certainly different today), and i would not characterize Walter as a geek nor he tries to be, but at least for me its inconceivable that a computer savvy guy would not be a geek with at least some humble trait in his character (but i guess the story would not work if he wasn't the leader), writers in Hollywood do not seem to understand how technology or electricity work, as the scene trying to access a server depicts, they fry an electronic door lock with a 500,000 kilowatts surge that some how it only affects the door lock not the automatic doors not the servers inside, also why the cage doors are unlocked, also Happy tells we took the drives as careful as we could but we all saw Toby yanking the drive from the servers just a few moments ago (probably because they wanted a more dramatic scene), and one last thing about Walter why does he believe that its bad news that the kid is a genius. It's a bad show with almost no chance of being a good show.
Shanghai Kiss (2007)
Could be Better...
Well, the movie was not bad but i felt it was missing a lot of scenes, what i mean by this is that the encounters of Liam and Addy were too short, as an audience i didn't feel connected to the character of Liam(as one usually does when seeing a movie, at least in some great movies i do), i mean i did feel connected in some parts of the movie, I'm a Korean living in Mexico hence the connection, but i couldn't say if Liam was really in love with Addy, but there is more, i felt that the movie was like a mix of several movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind(Scene where Addy mets Liam), Lost in Translation(Scenes where Liam is in Shanghai), Garden State(Both characters, Addy the cheerful girl with some emotional scars and Liam struggling actor in L.A. that has issues with his father(about his mother) and his difficulty to show emotions), When Harry met Sally(Last scenes, where he runs to her house(more like a satirical part of When Harry met Sally, because in the movie Harry is not even tired after his long run and Liam smokes when he is resting(very funny), arriving at Addy's House all sweaty), and Addy saying "why do you make it so hard for me to hate you" (like Addy says News Flash Sally said the same thing to Harry) and i don't know if there is another similar movie but you get the idea. Overall not a Bad movie i give it a 6.5(I'm unintentionally being like Liam's friend Joe(those who saw this movie understand what I'm talking about)), i really enjoyed the song Lilly of Pink Martini and also the reference of Nat King Cole(that made me search for his songs). Well that all folks. Thank you for reading all the way through my comment(I usually don't write comments).
