Trade-Off

Woke up at 7am today for no real reason and couldn’t fall back to sleep. 6 hours of sleep, and that naggy feeling of insufficient slumber has hijacked my attention span the entire morning (well, not as bad as 5 hours of sleep, but still). So I managed to get a rare nap after lunch […]

Babylon A.D.

The only thing I got after watching this was how it’s similar to the cinema version of Eragon, where the movie killed the book. I wouldn’t normally say this as I’m all for experiencing first hand and then making judgement but, save yourself and just avoid this. The second half killed everything from the first […]

Death Race

For such a genre, had the creators focused more on the vehicles, it would have been more fun for the audience. The over-the-top action did save the movie from total boredom that came from the inescapable predictability.

WALL-E

Disney-Pixar outdid themselves once again and blew the competition out of the park. The CGI animation was just fantastic. However, the story became just a tad draggy once the second half began. But there were so much of the good that held everything together.

Emo is just an excuse…?

I walked into a cubicle at the Mall’s cineplex before Death Race started and saw this on the wall partly covered by the cubicle door,
“Emo is just an excuse for …”
I thought, hey this has potential to be something clever, until I read the rest of it,
“guys to behave like girls ”
That doesn’t even make […]

The Eluded Peace Sign

Why is it that when almost everyone else give the peace sign in front of a camera, they look normal - like exactly what they are doing, giving the peace sign and posing; but when we Chinese do it, we somehow look like retards? Seriously, it’s just weird and almost unfair.
There’s this unnatural energy we […]

Troubled Night

Right after watching Mirrors, I followed my friends outside for a smoking session and we started talking about mirrors and other superstitions. There was one about window above the head of the bed and another about a mirror next to the bed.
In my room there’s a window above the left corner of the bed and […]
