Journey to Modern Mythology
The release of Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief does make me super exciting, and I am expecting the movie to become the next brilliance book-to-screen adaptation movie franchise. The idea of combine ancient Greek mythology with modern day is really marvelous, plus strong supporting casts as Gods & mythical creatures does boost up the attraction.
However, I’m really disappointed with the movie. It is not a miserable movie, but I was expecting a better story and stronger villain. Too many plot holes in the movie, and when the villain finally revealed himself in the movie, it just failed to convince me that he actually planned and worked this out all by himself. 
In fast, the actual main problem of this movie is the original plot of the novel has been distorted, and this act has ruined the magic of the novel. Here are some of the major issues:
- 3 important characters - Kronos (The leader of the first generation of Titans; father of Zeus, Hades & Poseidon), Ares (The God of War) & Clarisse La Rue (demigod; daughter of Ares)
and the great prophecy are all incredible important parts in the series and yet neither made an appearance nor had any significance in the movie. - The majority of the movie is about the journey of 3 teenagers going after the magical pearls, but the pearls were minor in the novel.
- The original main villain of Percy Jackson & the Olympians series is Kronos, which is a much better & darker villain if compare with the movie. And the final climatic fight in the novel is Percy against Ares instead, which is more exciting.
On the other hand, creative ideas of merging various ancient myths with the modern world, the stunning special effects, and fascinating characters played by Hollywood movie stars did make the movie better. Nevertheless, I’m still looking forward the movie adaptation of second installment of the series - The Sea of Monsters, and hope it will correct all the flaws.

如果需要一個『惡魔』，那就讓我來當吧! - 『為什麼不結婚啊？ 為什麼不交朋友啊？ 為什麼這麼老了還要討紅包啊？為什麼、為什麼、為什麼。。。。。。 』 我相信這些問題很多人在過年過節時都會被問，尤其是像我們這些遊子們，親戚們都很喜歡用她們『善意的關心』來給我們莫名的壓力，這種『任性的關懷』是會讓晚輩們更加想逃避這種聚會的。 我承認我不是一個脾氣...

Drama的2015 - Drama是我在2015年最具代表性的词汇！ 2015年是我舞台剧最多产的一年。很开心也感觉很满足，至少在2015年尝试了截然不同的舞台剧剧种，也尝试了执导别人写的剧本。最令我感到意外惊喜的事情就是被邀请称为klpac十周年十位戏剧导演之一，我因此而做了好玩的《乱水》。另外还有一件事。。。虽然后来不成事，但是被...8 years ago
