Things don't quite go as plan, and Hyo-jin (Kim Jung-hwa) finds herself working at a Burger King as cover. Alas, Hyo-jin is too pretty for her own good, which immediately makes her the star "server" at the fast food chain. Soon all the boys, including failed student Ko-Bong (Gong Yu), are lining up to be served. But after Ko-Bong posts Hyo-Jin's pictures on an internet bulletin board that touts the "top Angel" working a the Burger King, it threatens to expose Hyo-Jin's cover. What's a spy to do?

My Thoughts:
The premise sounded interesting and fun, but the actual movie was rather boring. It could have been so much more. I felt that it had no real direction. Maybe I just had the wrong expectations for it.

My Thoughts:
Even though it has a very 80s feel to it, it otherwise has aged very well. Especially the effects and vampire makeup). It is a very good vampire movie. I was surprised to see Bill from Bill & Ted as a vampire here.

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena


The Big Bang Theory


What's the show about?
The sitcom revolves around the lives of three physicists, one engineer and one waitress. The two physicists Sheldon and Leonard live across the hall from Penny the waitress. Leonard is in love with Penny but she hasn't responded yet. Sheldon and Leonard are often visited by their friends Rajesh and Howard (the latter one being the engineer) and when their world clashes with Penny's hilarity ensues.

"Pilot"
Leonard and Sheldon have just aborted a high IQ sperm donation when they discover that they have a new neighbour: Penny, a waitress at "The Cheesecake Factory". When Penny takes a shower in their apartment (and hopefully doesn't discover the Darth Vader shampoo or the Luke Skywalker conditioner) she asks Leonard for a favour...

My Opinion
One of my favourite sitcoms of all time. The five are so hilarious together with Sheldon being the heyday of most episodes. Sheldon is totally unaware of his rudeness and his arrogance and it's great fun to watch him and the others. I can't wait for the third season to begin next week and I am glad that the network has already ordered a fourth season.
