The Bold and the Beautiful (1987)
Still tantalizing after all this time
The bold and the beautiful can defiantly be blamed for the mistreatment of its most important character, the divine Mrs. Brooke Logan, but in the last few years, under executive producer brad bell, it became one of the most surprising and shocking soaps. With plotlines involving the revelation of the father of Becky's baby, ridge's paternity proven wrong, Brooke's pregnancy by her son-in-law and what is referred to as `the best kept secret in daytime television history' - the return of kimberlin brown's psychotic character Sheila - B&B has proven itself as a must-watch soap. The once slowed-paced show has became a blink-and-you'll-miss-it TV with plenty of surprises and shocks still in store.
If only the producers will look back to the show's roots and restore Brooke's integrity and character I would rate the show as `perfect
Mononoke-hime (1997)
great animation, great story, great voice work.
One of Hayao Miyazaki's best films to date. the film deals with mythology and ecology in a captivating way. besides the animation (which is fabulous) the story is compelling and well structured, though a bit too long. The movie's biggest accomplishment is it's ability to take the viewer through a wide range of emotions during the movie, and to keep you on the edge of your seat without the usual suspense plots. It also has the ability to teach you a moral and relay a massage without being preachy.
The English adaptation, as written by neil gaiman, is superb and the voice work is one of the best dubs done in years
