Dead Silence

By Delrondu | Cinema

From the people who gave us Saw, Wan and Whannell substituted gore with scare while still retaining the thrill. But even they themselves can’t overtake Saw in terms of smarts. Rating: 6 / 10 (Full review at silverscreen.thinkbrunei.com)

Control

Funny how pure coincidence is always mistaken for fate. Or a higher power having a say in our daily lives. Or is my opening statement already a big mistake. I don’t know and I can’t say for sure. No one can but they’re going to try. My mom prayed to my grandma and asked for

Heard two deejays babbling on on the topic of being an 80′s kid. They were mentioning about Silverhawks (which I remembered vaguely) and Tigersharks (which I’ve forgotten).
