I love Louis Theroux


Louis Theroux is a documentary filmmaker for the BBC. His work contains unreported issues that had been ignored by the media. What makes his documentary so interesting and entertaining to watch is how he casually approaches people. He does not approach his interviewee formally but talks to them like a friend. He’s never biased. He keeps himself liberal and is always calm, even if he is being threatened. He talks to his viewers as if they are part in the search into finding why that party has that view. It’s quite intriguing and original. He makes finding boring information about people quite entertaining. It opens windows to people who have not explored or yet come across by the topic. It keeps them aware and at the same time gain knowledge from the information that Louis provides. One of my favourite - Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends Series two 'Black Nationalism' and Louis and the Nazi.

Beastly Novel

I must say when i first saw the trailer of this remake 'The Beauty and the Beast' I was like what the F&*^ (excuse ma French) it ruined the book. Totally. I though ah another chick flick film, especially seeing Vanessa Hudgens as the leading actress (personally i think she can not act).

I took my little brother to the library I went over to the book shelves where crime fiction books were stacked. I was looking for my favourite author Harlan Coben book series. I just love his books. very unique, grips you into reading the whole thing,it's like a drug to addictive to stop. But non of his books were there. So when i went over the kiddie section (or teens as some might call it). That's when I saw 'Beastly' big and bold, stood there waiting for it to be touched and read. So I picked it up and took it home.

When i began reading it. I got hooked up straight away, (which for me it's a rare case) the story is beautifully told by the author Alex Flinn. With the mixture of Cinderella and Snow White, this remake of the classic novel Beauty and the Beast is frankly quite good (surprisingly as I’m not a fan of Teen Romance).

Staring of with Perfect Kyle. He was what everyone dreamt of. Boys wanted to be him, and girls wanted to be with him. He was arrogant and selfish person. Then one night he was turned to his inner self 'ugly'. Only way he could break the spell is by finding someone to love him.
