while waiting for my installation to complete, i guess i'll write some short reviews of shows i've caught on tv these few weeks.
Masters of Horror series
I've caught this series over at the Showtime channel, and they were great! I enjoy horror movies, partly because it's one of the shows that evokes at least some sort of reaction from me (read: curl up in fear). Some of the ones that I remember are:
Jennifer: a creepy show about a deformed-face girl with .. errm .. a siren-like charm. she looks really scary, but at the same time, sexy. and she hides a horrible secret. excellent ending to the show.
Chocolat: a show about a man who's somehow telepathically linked with a girl. in short, he falls in love with her, i have no idea why, and did all the mistakes a man can do chasing a girl. watch and twinge in fear of his mistakes after mistakes.
Fair-haired Child: creepy show, but not really that scary about a girl who's trapped in a basement with a boy who holds a dark secret. I don't really like how it all ended, a lil bit creepy, but I like the part where the boy says he found out what his talent was (just before the ending).
World Series Poker Competition
Wow. I like. Yesterday night I saw how a guy with a 2 and a 4 off suit bluffed his way out of his opponents with much much stronger cards.
And Greg Raymer won the 2004 poker championship. My new idol!
Well, after watching this show, I'm kind of being in the opinion that poker is more of a game of skill than just a game of pure chance. Why so? Watch it and see.
