Review: The Assassin's Curse Duology

This is a book series (duology) that is not that famous (I think) but worth reading.

Ananna of the Tanarau abandons ship when her parents try to marry her off to an allying pirate clan: she wants to captain her own boat, not serve as second-in-command to her handsome yet clueless fiance. But her escape has dire consequences when she learns the scorned clan has sent an assassin after her.

And when the assassin, Naji, finally catches up with her, things get even worse. Ananna inadvertently triggers a nasty curse — with a life-altering result. Now Ananna and Naji are forced to become uneasy allies as they work together to break the curse and return their lives back to normal. Or at least as normal as the lives of a pirate and an assassin can be.

The Doctor Recommends: The Americans

Now premiering its 4th season, The Americans is always proving itself as a great, insightful and thought-provoking show. After a long time without any major spy shows (that I remember, at least), The Americans is good and strong enough to, hopefully, star a new wave of TV spy dramas.

Weekly Updates #4

It's been a looooooong time since I did a weekly update (I guess it's not weekly), but I'll be trying to start posting it again.

First impressions: Rokka no Yuusha

Here are my first impressions of Rokka no Yuusha (Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers), after watching the first episode: The Strongest Man in the World.

When the Demon God awakes from the depths of darkness, the Goddess of Fate selects six heroes and bequeaths them with the power to save the world. Adlet, a boy who proclaims himself the strongest man in the world, has been selected among "The Heroes of the Six Flowers." However, as the heroes gather, they soon begin to suspect that someone amongst them is an imposter, as this time, there are seven of them.

Female Characters and Destroyed Childhoods on Ghostbusters

There's a lot of complaining going around about the new Ghostbusters movie. And you should completely disregard that and go watch the movie in the theaters. Or not, if you honestly are not interested.

First of all, everyone can like a movie/trailer or not, and I fully support that. You are not required to like or dislike. REALLY! But what you need is a valid reason for your opinion or argument and the sex or color of the cast is not one of them, neither the 'destroyed childhood factor', something that the whiners complainers believe to exist.
