Avatar – A movie review!

Posted on by

I pretty enjoy writing how I felt after watching a particular movie, after the previous random review post regarding Bodyguards and Assassins. So here I am!

Finally caught Avatar ‘the movie of the year(?!)’.

I first saw the trailer of the movie in the theatres, while they were showing trailers of the upcoming movies, commercials, and what-nots. Honestly, even after watching the trailer twice, I still have absolutely ZERO idea about what is going on in the movie. It feels like suddenly I see humans and at another instance I see those blue-green-coloured aliens! :O

I was not convinced that the movie was finally up on the screens ‘after four years of production’, that the producer, James Cameron, ‘conceived the film 15 years ago, when the means to realize his vision did not exist yet’ until now..

But but! After catching the movie on the screens, I totally understood the story, the reason as to why there were both humans and aliens existing in the movie. It was totally unlike the way I interpreted the show to be when I watched the trailer. THE MOVIE WAS DAMN GOOD. Thumbs up for Avatar!!

The only thing I couldn’t decipher was regarding the ‘revolutionary technology’. I mean the graphics and effects and everything were so real and perfect, yessss. Just that I don’t know what was that exceptional special effect created by the revolutionary technology, that could not be done years ago. call me a technology noob then. T_T

Oh if you have caught my previous review, you’d have known I’m a sucker who never fail to fall asleep in the theatres. Nothing surprising actually, I fell asleep at a few (really a few, like 2-3)  instances for a really short while!! But for movie that lasts 2 hours and 40 mins, I’m pretty proud of myself. At the same time it shows how good the show was as well!! :)

So fasterrrr go catch the movie if you haven’t, before its removed from the big screens! :)))) Definitely worth the moolahs, I feel.

Next I’m so waiting to catch Treasure Hunters!! Starring Jay Chou (<3!) and Lin Zhi Ling? :D

I oso wanna catch Alvin and Chipmunks 2! The trailer was soo so cute!! And I didn’t watch Alvin and Chipmunks 1. :/

Bodyguards and Assassins! – a movie review

Posted on by

Suddenly got the urge to blog, but site is down again! So I’m actually typing my entry on a Words document before posting it when site is back.

Bodyguards & Assassins!

Bodyguards & Assassins!

Caught the action-packed blockbuster of the year, 十月围城, Bodyguards and Assassins last week. Couldn’t believe there were so many superstars starring in the movie and yet I didn’t recognise any of them. It was only at the movie when the credits were rolling that I saw many familiar names.

Angela Chua had a good laugh (at me, of course!) when she knew that I didn’t know any of those who starred in the movie! She almost fainted when I couldn’t recognise Nicholas Tse, Leon Lai, Tony Leung, etc etc.. She knew so much about that show (when she haven’t caught it) and it was as if I didn’t watch it lor.. T.T I think I’m pathetic. HAHAA. I told her, if Nicholas Tse had his normal hair in the show, I’d prolly make it out that its him, but the olden days hair style totally confused me! Same for Leon Lai, who appeared as a beggar in the movie, so chui and ugly! Seriously he look so much better in real person okay (I googled images of Leon Lai immediately, to save/prove myself!!), so naturally I couldn’t make out that its him! :O

After all the fighting and killing blockbusting scenes, I got a tad worried about people assassinating me while walking back home now and then. HAHAHA. So silly but true.. Thanks for being my bodyguard that day! hahahahaha!

On the overall, I think the movie is great!! I almost didn’t fall asleep in the movie, but I did close my eyes for like one second, I admit. It’s considered good for a person like me who falls asleep in the theatres more easily than on bed, sometimes. LOL! There isn’t a single record of me not falling asleep at all in the theatres, up to now. I’m sure to close my eyes for a split second at least. HAHAHA. And I’m not the least embarrassed to share my movie experiences. Omg! :O

(:

I can watch Avatar soon next?!! Everyone who watched it all gave thumbs up for the movie and said its a must!!!!! So I’m not gonna miss ittt. Gonna find time to watch it!!

Busyyyyyyyybusy.

On a hind sight…

I love Google Chrome!!

Say I’m slow or what, but I just downloaded Google Chrome, after its been launched for a good few months! Less than 10minutes of using it, I’m so in love with Google Chrome already!!!!

I think the interface is gorgeous. So neat, so pretty! {should have downloaded it long ago!}

Furthermore, it is fast and efficient. As in things loads fast! I don’t think its all in the mind, its true!!

So glad I got bored. And my Mozilla Firefox is filled with loads of websites that are temporarily saved for school work. So I decided I need a new browser to surf the net. HAHAHAHA.

Heres’ the link to download  Google Chrome! :)

New pants for you?

Posted on by

Was tuning in to channel [V] on Astro (just like SCV/Mio TV in S’pore), and I didn’t know they do play Chinese songs! Anyway, the thing was, I saw this band called 新裤子, one of their song’s MV was being played.

It just got me thinking, whats with these people naming themself 新裤子. Oh if you don’t understand, it simply means ‘new pants’. New pants for a band name? Definitely not for me.

So I went to google abit. (yeah you can see how bored I am)

新裤子，中国最具现场活力及创造性偶像摇滚乐队。1996年成立；1998年发行首张专辑《新裤子》，被香港权威音乐杂志《音乐殖民地》评为“90年代中、港、台十大唱片”之二；2000年乐队的第二张唱片《Disco Girl》亚洲同步发行，凭借单曲“我爱你”摘夺2000年度Channel[V]、音乐风云榜“最佳音乐录影带”、“年度最佳摇滚单曲”等众多奖项。2002年12月推出第三张专辑《我们是自动的》。

Apparently, they’re a trio from China, formed in 1996! And so far they’ve produced three albums, with the last one being released in 2002. So its been awhile..

Just in case you’re as curious as me, here’s a photo of them!

And so it marked the end of the third term of the year, the second final term of the tertiary education!

MST was the craziest of all in three years, because I fell sick! Not forgetting my sleepy spells when its time to mug-a-lot. Its not helping at all!

In this whole week, I slept before or around 10pm thrice. HAHA. and its only friday today. meaning 3/5 days of this week, i slept freaking early. this is how ridiculous i became when i’m not well. all i wanted to was to sleep and hoping that when i wake up the next morning i’ll be feeling great and kickin’. but in terms of sleep time, it was a miraculous week. wish it’ll last. improve my complexion and skin! but nah, late nights are here to come!

finally could listen to my ipod for its most basic purpose – entertainment. when i was travelling on the mrt. HEAVEN! chose tik tok by ke$ha, and let it continue by random shuffling. next song was bad romance by lady gaga. oh my. how i miss partying. not that i party alot. i’m no party animal but i just love clubbing songs! AND MOM STILL DONT LIKE THE IDEA OF CLUBBING. oh well.

previously ipod was either to stuff my ears to wall off noise, or to merely keep me company together with my notes/books. neh.

its the season to be merry!! xmas in two weeks. slightly lesser than two. wanna meet loads of friends these two weeks before the year ends! because i will be spending my last week and first 3 days of 2010 in vietnam for a holiday. fated to only visit-taiwan-2010!! better late than never!

oh. and speaking of the forth day of 2010. back to school. back to the usual. oh meh. but its. 3 months to graduation, then. slightly lesser than 3 months, to be exact. then it’ll be the chinese new year. and final final year exams. and TA-DA. i’m a SP graduand!!! just like how i was a marsiling graduand 3 years ago! :)

where to, after graduation? big-question-mark up there. shall wait and see!

meanwhile..i wanna travel to sooo many places! too many to name! and i wanna work somedays too. like eg. IT fair! a new world to experience then. i believe the word ‘tired’ will have another totally new meaning. heh.

so much to look forward to!!!
