Victor Frankenstein (2015)

Let me start by saying I've never read the book.  Math Teacher tried several times but simply couldn't finish the book.  So we both had no comparison.

The book started with the monster being born, the movie ended with the monster being born.  So they were of different timelines.  The movie was told from the perspective of Igor the Assistant, with the backstory of the mad scientist Victor Frankenstein.

It was an ok movie with Daniel Radcliffe (of Harry Potter), James McAvoy (of Professor Charles Xavier in X-Men), and Andrew Scott (of Moriarty in Sherlock).  Andrew Scott still reminded me of Moriarty in Sherlock.  Daniel Radcliffe was a bit stiff in his acting skills.  But, James McAvoy stole the show.  He was a completely different character.  Insane but with a touch of humanity.

HAPPY MID-AUTUMN'S DAY 2024 / 中秋2024快樂!

今年農曆八月十五西曆九月十七
第一次買稻香村的月餅,還不錯
小小一顆,八個口味,適合我和數學老師分著吃





Cream Coconut: a little too dry and too sweet

Sugar Pumpkin:  not bad

Sugar Red Bean Paste

Hundred Nuts:  delicious filling

Five Nuts:  delicious filling

忘了照玫瑰、蓮蓉蛋黃、棗泥,忙著吃😋🤣

總結:還不錯。不知道是否太早買。怕忘了過節,所以一個多月前就買了。放太久,每個皮都有點乾。

Bloodsport (1988)

The acting was bad.  The plot was predictable.  I could see the ending five minutes into the movie.  For a movie called "Blood", it was actually very little blood.
