It has been a great honour to receive e-mails over the years from some of the PR cast. They are really sweet people for taking the time to reply to fan e-mails. After watching some Power Morphicon video clips on YouTube, I have gained a newfound respect for actors and actresses, especially for the cast of Power Rangers. I must say, it is not easy to make it big as an actor, so most people would just accept any gigs they are offered. People often think that actors that star in Power Rangers are just desperate for a job. Perhaps, but anyone would do the same if they had no other choice. Acting on PR involves huge sacrifices because firstly, they have to undergo a lot of training for fight scenes (which in PR, is plenty). Their work hours are long and it takes a toll on their physical strength. However, I am glad that Power Rangers is able to open up some doors for the actors to other opportunities. Some have ventured into the music industry or continued their acting careers. Others t...

There were numerous Batman movies that were made over the past decades. Actors such as Michael Keaton (Batman & Batman Returns), Val Kilmer (Batman Forever), George Clooney (Batman & Robin) & most recently, Christian Bale (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight) got to put on the suit and play the iconic hero.

Oban Star-Racers Ok, the first time I saw the commercial of Oban Star-Racers on Kids Central's Flux!, I wasn't blown away. In fact, I disliked the graphics - the characters had no noses, for crying out loud! But I decided to give the show a chance anyway. The story was a little boring, and I'm not exactly into sci-fi and fantasy genres, but it got better as the races began and characters like Jordan & Aika (is that how his name is spelt?) were introduced. The ending was somewhat disappointing. I would have expected a tougher battle with the ultimate villain than such a simple way to end it. Jordan's sacrifice was the saddest part. The finale would have been cooler had Eva/Molly or Aika become the Avatar. I mean, Jordan isn't exactly Avatar material, and I actually wanted him to end up with Eva/Molly. Anyway, at least the show's over. :/ Code Lyoko Finally, a cartoon that's very original. This is one of the few cartoons I'...

After watching the last few episodes of Operation Overdrive, I was left unimpressed. I could easily go on for days complaining about all the bad stuff. << Warning: Spoilers >>

Monster is a suspense-filled anime which contains deep and dark themes about unsolved serial murders. After watching several episodes, I've begun to realise that things aren't always the way they seem. At the beginning, Dr. Tenma was portrayed as the hero, but as time passed, the story shifted its focus to other characters. And the more revelations there were, the more I started to wonder if the monster could spread like a disease. I even wondered if the monster was passed on to every one of the characters. In addition, when I first saw the ending theme, I thought that it was a collage of lame drawings of the monster mixed with some horrible music. But as episodes passed, I noticed that the pictures were actually crucial pieces of the story of the monster's past. The music is still horrible, anyway. XD This anime just keeps you guessing and that's what's great about it. My favourite characters so far are Nina (a.k.a. Anna Liebert), Dieter (what a weir...

Discovery Health: Locus of Control and Attribution Style Test (10 questions, 5 min) For more Discovery Health tests, click  here . Do you control your destiny or are you controlled by it? Some people believe that they hold the power to control the outcome of their actions. Other people feel that the outcome of their actions is determined by external factors. What is your locus of control? And what forces are responsible for your successes and failures? These important attitudes affect your motivation, expectations, self-esteem, risk-taking behavior and the actual outcome of your actions. This test assesses your locus of control orientation and your attribution style. "A locus of control orientation is a belief about whether the outcomes of our actions are contingent on what we do (internal control orientation) or on events outside our personal control (external control orientation)." (Zimbardo, 1985, p. 275) Our attribution style determines which forces we hold responsible fo...

I'm so glad Mystic Force is finally over. It was both a joy & pain to watch it. Firstly, only the first few and the last few episodes were good, with the exception of the Dark Wish trilogy which rocked. In addition, there was no SPD/MF team-up, which was disappointing but unavoidable due to the constraints of having a 32 episode season. It may have been a good thing, though, 'cos it dashed all chances of MF ruining the SPD season. Anyway, on to the next season, Operation Overdrive... The first few episodes seemed quite good, but from past experience, I kinda expect the season to deteriorate rapidly. And the season HAD to start off on the wrong foot by introducing a horrible opening theme, which I may be forced to get used to eventually. This season's characters have potential to shine, but I'm hoping that they will be given the opportunity to, without having to reuse Boukenger plot material.
