I don't know if anyone on my flist is watching these shows but ABC just canceled Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue and CBS canceled Partners. I haven't even given a try to any of them once I saw their initial ratings. I hate to get into a show only to see it canceled right away.

Chris Pine had some really nice things to say about Benedict Cumberbatch when he was asked about the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness:

"I’ve been so fortunate, Benedict is an incredible talent. He’s did some work in the new ‘Trek’ that I think will blow people away.

"There’s one scene in it that’s like, you know… in all kinds of heavy science fiction there’s got to be the exposition scene where it’s like, what the hell’s going on? It’s a really, really, really hard scene. Not for me, for Benedict – and watching him handle that and to make something that I think, on paper, could have been a death trap for an actor and to see how he [deals with it]…

"I think, also, I know that he did Frankenstein. I never got a chance to see it, but his sense of body and voice… he has great command of his instrument or whatever the hell you want to call it. He’s formidable as an actor and as a character in the story. He’s formidable. He’s a great actor."

Aww! I really hope this movie's as good as the first one. And I'm so curious as to what character Benedict Cumberbatch is playing.

And talking about Chris Pine, I really hope his upcoming movies will be hits, both The Rise of the Guardians and Jack Ryan. That man really deserves a hit and to stay A-list.

"Assassin's Creed: Revelations (Assassin's Creed #4)" by Oliver Bowden

♦ ♦ ♦

Oliver Bowden still isn't a master writer but he knows his history, that's true. Ezio meets so many historically important people, like Prince Suleiman or his father Selim, it's just too bad that Bowden doesn't know how to utilize what he knows so well right.

In this book, both Ezio's and Altaïr's story reach their closure. And I admit freely that despite not feeling much affection for Ezio, I cried at the end. For the first time while reading an "Assassin's Creed" story, Bowden managed to bring me to tears. Maybe he is getting better at writing after all. For that, I'm giving this book 3 stars.
