The movie Avatar is almost on everyone’s mouth ever since it was released on the 17th December 2009. Friends and colleagues are claiming how great and wonderful the movie is.
Well, what can we say when this 166minute-long movie is the brainchild of James Cameron, the director of Titanic? All hail Sci-fi King, James Cameron! Avatar is definitely the most ambitious and visually arresting film I’ve ever watched.
Now, if you haven’t already done so, go and see one of the year’s most exhilarating films.
The sci-fi blockbuster has already surpassed Transformers 2 to be the No.1 movie for the year 2009. In the domestic US market, Avatar climbs to the #3 spot behind The Dark Knight and Titanic, the all-time #1 in both domestic and worldwide market. At the foreign box office, Avatar continued to rage, blazing past the $1 billion mark; and many people are anticipating Avatar to surpass Titanic’s worldwide gross of US $1.842 billion.
Not to forget to mention that Avatar has won 2 Golden Globe Awards for Best Picture and Best Director yesterday.
I have finally finished watching the 33-episode mind-blowing series. If you remembered, I once blogged about this few weeks ago at here.
I can finally let go of the TV’s remote control and surrender it to my mum who has been fighting for the TV to watch her Korean series.
You will definitely love the series if you are a fan of twists and turns, the glorious Tang dynasty and the bickering of the palace maids and concubines. It is different from 2004’s War & Beauty although many viewers compared BTROC is not as grand as WAB. BTROC has its distinctive plot, revolving around two childhood friends and how they survive in the palace filled with wickedness and evil schemes.
For those who have yet to watch, grab the DVD’s or watch it online. Here are some of the film captures from the series.
I must applaud Tavia’s acting in this series. She totally deserves to win an award for taking up this role.
With veteran actresses like Michelle Yim and Susanna Kwan, you should take this opportunity to embrace their experienced acting.
Moses Chan did a good job as the Emperor.
Not to forget Charmaine has improved her acting skills after being a log for so many years.
I better NOT show you too many scenes. You should watch this series yourself.
Enjoy!

The storyline revolves around the Imperial Household Bureau whereby it is responsible for managing and directing all household services to the Emperor and the Imperial family in Tang Dynasty. The Imperial Household Bureau is comprised of four departments, namely Jewels, Attire (Embroidery), Food and Furnishings. And by looking at the series’ promo poster above, you would know that there will be full of imperial politics, bickering and power-hunger.
I strongly recommend this series to you who have yet to catch it. I have kinda abandoned Born Rich now as I am more eager to follow BTROC.
