Ninja

By Delrondu | Confession

From the first three minutes I already had a bad feeling about the movie. From the way it was shot to the dialogue and the acting, nothing assured me that I hadn’t made a bad decision going in. But at that point, I was still thinking I was watching Ninja Assassin. It wasn’t until half

The New Cat's Eye

The New Cat’s Eye

The new cat’s eye on the roads. Looks really cool. I even ran my car over it and didn’t really feel the bulge. As fragile as it looks, it must be really hard.

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs

By Delrondu | Cinema

I thought this was a fun filled fantasy story, perhaps even the best from Sony; but still easily forgettable.
Although the excitement was there, the action was great, the story well told; but it was still lacking in all departments to make it really memorable. Perhaps it’s the premise of the storyline, about making the sky

Interlaced Fingers

The morning rays creep in between the eyelids

The Other Side

A new artist has caught my attention and possibly replace Jewel as my number one female artist. Perhaps it’s still too early to say that, yes, because this new artist hasn’t even released her first album. But everything I’ve heard so far are brilliant. And she’s absolutely gorgeous to boot. A chick (first time I’m

Bandslam

Surprisingly, this worked. Credit goes to newcomer director who’s only on his second try at directing, Todd Graff. He made it so that watching the movie, it doesn’t have the generic feel at all. It was almost, almost, indie even.
Secondly, the writers have created something quite original here in terms of the story. It has

Your Courage, Your Destiny

By Delrondu | Confession, Writing

Here’s a thought. It just came to me; let me know your thoughts, if you agree or disagree. (Not if you think I’m slow to finally catch on to this.)
The universe (or your god) has a plan for every one of us. Our lives are mapped out from the beginning to the end. But this
