Fringe Season 2 Episode Premier Review

I have just finished watching Episode 1 of season 2's Fringe and I'm really glad to say that J.J and team did not disappoint at all. Yes, it's THAT GOOD. Not wanting to give too much of spoilers for the show here is a brief story about what has happened so far.

The series opens with a modern day shapeshifter (you'll see what I mean by modern) taking the form of a victim. On the other hand, Olivia was found missing from her car until she reappeared back suddenly by crashing out of the car's screen. Weird isn't it? If you follow this show, you will see all kinds of weird and gross stuff. Turns out that FBI is also seeking to shut down the fringe division despite their efforts of keeping the world safe. Meanwhile, the shapeshifter assassin is after Olivia who strangly does not remember of her visit to the parallel universe with William Bell, the president of the sinister Massive Dynamics. Well, let's just say the ending is quite shocking if you have been following the series.

If you would like to know more about fringe please follow the series. It's really good. Especially recomended for supernatural, sci-fi, and gross fans. Follow The Patern!!

The Cast for Season 2

Butler's Double Serving

Fresh in cinemas this week is none other than 2 of Gerard Butler's films - The Ugly Truth and Gamer. You may not know who is this Butler guy but I bet you will recognize him from at least some of his films and characters such as King Leonidas from 300, The Phantom from The Phantom of the Opera, Gerry Kennedy from P.S I Love You and Alex Rover from Nim's Island. I find that his roles from these various movies are vastly different from one another which makes him an actor to look out for (the guy can even sing, has six packs and is good looking. What more can you ask for?).

First up we have The Ugly Truth, the romantic comedy starring with Katherine Heigl. Base on the trailer it really looks like your average cliche romance comedy but add Butler and Heigl in the mix you are sure to get alot of laughs from it. Somehow I predict that if a guy teaches a clueless/too scrutinizing girl about how to get the man would provide audiences with hilarious results. Cliche as it may sound about the storyline, I would like to go watch this show just for the laughs. Recommended if you wish to have a light moment and perhaps learn about the ugly truth about men and women ;)

Simple but Interesting Poster....

Trailer for The Ugly Truth

Next we have the action thriller movie Gamer. Butler this time plays a deathrow inmate who is controlled by a players who go out for battle in the video game world. All he has to do is to survive 30 rounds and he will obtain his freedom. Sounds easy? The catch 22 is that if your controller fails the mission that inmate will die for real. This is one movie that I'm keen to watch as it brings a new concept of real life gaming to a new level. The movie also starts Michael C. Hall(best known for his role as a seriel killer series Dexter), Ludacris (rapper and actor) and Milo Ventimiglia (Peter Petrelli of Heroes fame). Interesting mix of actors and cool storyline, this one is recommended for action and gaming fans (not to mention fans of Butler).

Playing for his life....Here comes Butler...looks like he maintained King Leonidas's six packs.....
