21 movie review!

MOVIE REVIEW



21

overview(quoted from wikipedia)
21 (referred to in advertising as "21: The Movie") is a 2008 drama film from Columbia Pictures. It is directed by Australian director Robert Luketic (Legally Blonde) and stars Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth, Laurence Fishburne, Aaron Yoo, and Liza Lapira. The film is inspired by the true story of the MIT Blackjack Team. The film draws from Bringing Down the House, the best-selling book by Ben Mezrich.

review
this movie is about a student in the MIT university who had problems paying sch fees...so when a professor offers him a chance to join his team of professional blackjack card-counting players he joins and earns lots of cash!but after a while greed catches up with the him...and the professor's old enemy tries to stop them in their card-counting tactics...

quite a good movie, one that does not focus on action but on mindgames which is quite refreshing considering the number of action movies being released...the pace of the movie is quite good and hardly slows down...but some parts could get abit boring...

Get Smart Movie Review!

wow this movie review should have been done long ago lol...aniwae...this was one of the more anticipated movies to watch among the neetclub lol...coz we have been watching the trailers alot of times before movie screenings...

MOVIE REVIEW



GET SMART

basically a comedy, most of the jokes in this movie are very action-based and nonsensical...but of course some of the dialogue is hilarious too...an example is the scene where smart meets the badguy boss in their hideout...and confuses him with basic logic on whether he is 'control' or 'chaos' personnel...LOL...and of course, the phone 'element of surprise' part was quite a laugh too!

the plot is decent and the movie flows along at a moderate pace itink...an extra thing to note is that little special effects have been used...jefry tinks that the trailer had alr shown the movies best parts...haha...but overall itink that this is still a good comedy movie...

ACTScalibre camp!

this camp is special in its own way compared to the other foc camps held by the other unis coz there are campers from all the unis and institutes joining this camp...

during the few wks before the camp there are many activities held like boardgaming at mindscafe and sporting events like cycling and ball games...the theme of the camp is olympic styled hence the emphasis on games...

mi og is NIGERIA! yeah the ogs are named after countries...got 12 ogs with 3 grouped under 1 'continent' so its like AFRICA has NIGERIA, CAMEROON and SOUTH AFRICA...

nigeria rox! haha but as pt and sunat were in the same og as mi we tend to talk among ourselves more haha which is quite sian but anyway the nigeria ppl were all enthu!and we have a professional photographer in eileen our ogl!!!

during the 3d2n camp which was held at ntu we stayed at the hall5 rooms...during the first night of the camp i totally cant slp at all coz its so hot the fan was those type of small oscillating fan mounted on the wall...the second night was better coz the night wasnt that humid...

we played even more games in the actual camp haha to win 'gold medals'...quite funny the medals were like chocolates with the gold foil thingy...but the fun event was the water games which used waterbombs lol...the game went smoothly at first but after awhile turned chaotic and it became a free for all waterbomb fight LOL it was hilarious...

although the camp was rather short i made many new friends!and realised that there were many new cheers...like the 'what say u say i say' which was very punk and cool lol...

quite an overdue blogpost lol

will be blogging more!

Concert Review: Warp Works by London Sinfonietta

another overdue blogpost...lol the concert was like in june...

watched this concert with mojo jefry and hofai haha itink we are musically very adventurous to buy tix for this contemporary music concert...

the first piece was titled '100metronomes' itink...but in another language...aniwae...it was played even before the concert started, when the audience were still making their way into the concert hall haha...this concert made use of videos too...and accompanying the '100metronomes' was a graphic animation of itink 100 sticks oscillating lol...the sound was chaotic yet structured...and when the piece was over the musicians went on stage!

haha ok the music is hard to describe...itink just the word 'contemporary' would do fine lol...u cant say its melodious, but each piece of contemporary music played had its own character and itink were rather powerful musically...the different animations for each piece were nicely done!

a few of the more interesting pieces are the modified piano pieces and the 'live-insects' onstage lol...the modified piano made funny sounds when played and in the postshow dialogue it was explained that the pianist had to tweak the piano quite a bit lol...

for the 'live-insects' piece...there was a fishtank with insects, microphone and video recorder...the video of the insects and the sounds made by them were screened realtime onstage...and the musicians played their instruments along with the sounds...

during the intermission there were random contemporary music and animations screened with the projector...and some are good, while some are intense...

the other music pieces were exciting as well...and when the concert was over i thought that it was a great show!

30hr famine camp!

yup this is a very overdue blogpost haha...and speaking of overdue...mi overdue library books added up to a $6.40 fine LOL...

the 30hr famine camp was quite an experience...during the briefing 1wk before the camp we were taught to play this game called 'age of civilisations'. basically some members of the group(tribe) had to do tedious and boring 'basic tasks' to ensure the 'survival' of the tribe while the other members had to go to the 'marketplace' to upgrade their 'basic tasks' levels so those tasks become easier to do...one example is the food basic tasks where one tribe member has to painstakingly arrange beans in the shape of foodstuffs...lol...so when the food level is upgraded the gamemasters would give a simpler shape for the tribe member to do...

wenjie was so tired he cant do his facilitator job so ihelped him instead...iwas supposed to be gamemaster coz there was like not enuff tribes to go around lol...there was sort of a plan to let jefry be facilitator also but some mixup caused him to become gamemaster...so i had to be facil for the group miself!?!?

while waiting for the campers to arrive, we changed into the very nice faminecamp tshirt haha...and jefry pt qingjing edwin and i chatted with yvonne and munwai who are both the consultant-level ppl...LOL...jefry came up with the hierarchy of the rank levels of the camp it was so funny it became smthing like a catchphrase thingy alr...

the hierarchy is
camper-level: the campers
facilitator-level: the facilitators and gamemasters
consultant-level: the camp consultants who were the facil's facilitators during the briefing...jefry came up with the 'yvonne-level' and 'munwai-level' lol...in fact the original form is 'munwai-level', used to describe the consultant-level ppl
worldvision-level: the worldvision staff involved in the camp...examples are 'esther-level' lol

this crap is quite funny...lol

ok aniwae while waiting we also played basketball with the judith's sajc gang...judith n qj were in the mini icebreaking group we formed during the briefing...shes quite a funny person but more on that later...

the campers arrive in mini cliques and its so hard to gather them together...lol and summore not at the sametime so alot of facils were loitering around the hall waiting...

ok before continuing...have to say that...the camp location was at acs(barker) and the school is like a chalet!?!?when we were there for the briefing we were almost lost in the school coz its so big!?!?and the facilities are super awesome lol...hofai would say the school is a fortress...

the campers were supposed to have their lunch and proceed to the auditorium for the camp opening ceremony and i met some of mi group members alr haha...there are like 2 cliques...one minigroup is frm the same class in hci and the other minigroup is frm the same class in hcjc and there were 2 nygh girls too...

after the opening ceremony(the hostess was very funny lol) the vips spin some globe thing and some lighting effects came on etc yeah the camp started lol 30hrs of famine!!!theres a video played also with a nice michaeljackson song but dunno wad its called...

ok we proceeded back to the sports hall and i explained the game rules to the 'tribe' lol...btw the tribe is called B12 Mon...haha mi first time facilitating a camp group lol im quite glad there was charlene(consultant) and another consultant-level girl(michelle itink) helping mi haha...both of them are from ntu too!charlene is also accountancy!

before explaining the game rules, i made them do a mini icebreaker so that they know each others names...but have to say their enthu-level is not that high at that point lol so now itink i understand the difficulty of facilitators coz their enthu-level is quite dependent on the campers' enthu-level...but it works the other way too itink...so i tried to be more enthusiastic and it sort of worked itink lol...

being frm top schs itink their gameplan was quite pro lol they kept going for the healthcare marketplace so the basic task for it became simpler...btw for the healthcare basic task every 10mins or so a tribe member has to report at the station to piggyback another tribe member lol...so when the healthcare level reaches level3 all the tribe has to do is to send someone to report at the station every 20mins itink...

the water task was also intensely upgraded by mi tribe...the water task required the tribe member assigned to the task to fill a container with water...but the container had leaks so the tribe member has to keep doing it lol...supermundane task...at level1 the tool the gamemasters provided the tribe is a spoon lol...and as u upgrade the level the tool becomes a cup...for our tribe its quite good coz the container did not have any leaks haha so once its filled the tribe member can slack...

during the game there were 2 'interventions' which means smthing has happened to the villages so the whole camp had to gather at the auditorium where itink the campers got stunned by the game events lol...the first intervention was a 'flood' that occurred in the tribes so the task levels got setback by 1lvl each except for one of the categories...the facils knew this alr but itink most of them kept it from their campers haha...itink some of the campers would have felt slightly annoyed or wadever coz they had worked hard to upgrade their tasklevels haha...the second intervention was about the 'aids epidemic' and the game rules are that the youngest female tribe member in each tribe would have to wear an aids tag...there was also an exhibition on aids awareness at another hall that each tribe has to send 3members to during the course of the game...

after the lastround of the game, which itink many tribes cheated haha, there was a talk by a worldvision worker sreymon who told her story to the audience...quite sad she had aids when she was quite young coz she was abandoned and involved in the sextrade in cambodia...however she had the resolve to continue living and now works in worldvision cambodia...after the talk there was a candlelight memorial for the sichuanquake and myanmarcyclone victims...

wad a day of activities...it was slptime soon and the showerrooms were packed with campers and facils wanting to washup lol...the facilitators and gamemasters got to slp in an equipment room which was relli well-equipped with a powerful aircon inside the sportshall which had a less powerful aircon...idint bring slpingbag so slept on bedsheet which was on the hardwoodenfloor and used mi bag as a pillow and jacket as blanket lol...the sajc ppl were quite noisy at first coz they kept talking lol but icouldnt slp aniwae coz after their chat ihad a heavy series of cough lol pt said that it was so noisy alot of ppl cant slp lol...jefry yilyn n mi had a chat on jap rockbands lol...and still cant slp for most of the night coz iwas like coughing lol...idid slp for awhile but woke up soon to go toilet...the aircon was so cold its amazing lol...lucas cant take it and went out of the hall to slp lol...and iwas waiting for the 'lights on' which was relli lights on lol...and one of the first few things that were said after the 'lights on' was from judith who asked her sajc frens "anyone wants to study chem?" lol it was veryfunny haha...

the second day of the camp was newspaper collection which were done in tampines lol but before we set off for the activity there was a fitness trainer from amore fitness who led the camp in a morning workout lol...she was quite professional and fun too coz she managed to get the workout to quite an enthu-level...

each tribe had to collect newspapers from their assigned blocks at the housingestate lol so mi group had 4blocks which were less than the other tribes arnd our area...so we completed the collection rather quickly...it was a sundae afternoon so there were many ppl nt at hme then...but for those who answered our call for newspapers, there were many newspapers lol...

we finished the collection very quickly lol so quick that we played a whole array of funnygames lol and the 3hci guys went to a neighbouring block to slp/play with phone lol...chuanxin had a majorproblem with the funnygames which he couldnt figure out haha and his classmates had a great afternoon teasing him with the games...we came up with an idea to hide frm the hci guys and then give them fake info that we were on the wayback to acs(barker) lol and we spied on them frm the 2ndfloor lol...but after awhile the bus arrived so we gathered back and waited again at the pickup point with the other 2tribes in our area...

back at acs(barker), we waited for the other tribes before starting the area cleaning haha...mi group had this sian look when told that we were cleaning the toilets haha...but the toilets were alr cleaned and there was nthn much to do for most of the tribes cleaning toilets so we headed for the exhibition to c wad it was about...

it was veryhumid at the exhibition but it was quite interesting...the audience would be given a zenstone mp3 player with a prerecorded soundtrack which was like a narrated story and then follow the instructions by walking through the exhibition which was designed like a maze...

the camp was comin to an end and the finale was a concert at the auditorium...the funny hostess was there again haha and she interacted with some of the audience while sharing her own 30hr faminecamp experience...the performances were quite good, there was a local band, the superband winners, a dance performance, and the vip ppl spin the globethingy again lol and that was it! breakfast!

there was dinner provided and after 30hrs of faminecamp itink that the food was great lol although abit dry...and slightly bloated frm the soyabean forfeit from the game with the tribe before that lol...

after the dinner we took some pics!

theatre review!

this was another free performance that iwent to for the arts fest haha...supei's friend pearlyn, whu also happened to be at the faminecamp, did not want to go for the full frontal:rhinocerous show at the esplanade theatre studios coz she wanted to eat chocolate buffet!?!?oh well...so supei invited mi to go for the show!

before the show we had dinner at shokudo at raffles city basement...its a japanese cuisine restaurant with the 'scan ur card to pay for your food' system marche-styled...and as u would expect...the food is quite expensive!so we found some cheap food inside-relatively cheaper compared to the rest of the stuff-and it was quite ok la...we ate different stuff but the important thing was that the tempura sauce/soup/wadever was freeflow!

~THEATRE REVIEW~
*****RHINOCEROUS*****


hmm ihardly go for theatre haha but thanks to supei's free tix...why not!?the esplanade theatre studios was very packed...itink got fullhouse...and ibelieve the frens of one of the cast were sitting behind our row...haha quite funny...

rhinocerous is the fullfrontal project for this yr...itink it was a competition of sorts to select a local director and let him/her direct a play to be performed to the public...

the play is an absurdist play, which according to supei, means that its rather nonsense in the way the characters interact and the story develop lol...for rhinocerous, the main storyline is about ppl turning into rhinos and what happens when ppl dun conform to the so-called societal norms lol...rather interesting idea and one of the highlights of the play was when karentan's character transforms into a rhino lol while her bewildered fren is...well...bewildered...lol

generally the play is well developed and the first act has a hilarious scene with a logician discussing logic on rhinos lol...however sometimes the pace of the play slows down...but overall it was a very good performance...and they dint use multimedia like overheadvisuals, relying instead on oldschool traditional acting to bring the show to life and effect was quite good lol...

before watching this movie...idint tink that kungfu panda would be such a good cgi movie haha...

synopsis
the main character of the movie, po, the panda on that poster, is a noodle shop assistant at his father's noodle shop, but at night he dreams of kungfu stuff and martial arts action...so when the kungfu dojo holds a martial arts tournament to select the 'dragon warrior', po had to be at the tournament to find out whu the dragon warrior is...but he, without any training, was chosen to be the dragon warrior!

review
the animation is good, and the colour scheme fits very well too!bright and cheery!jackblack does a wonderful job voicing po...and the movie brings its point across to the audience quite easily itink...the underlying 'moral of the story' lol...ok and the soundtrack is great...dun relli rmb the soundtrack lol coz its like few wks ago alr but i do rmb that iwas going "wah the soundtrack pro" or smthing liddat lol so iguess its quite good!

aniwae...after that we went jefry hse to 'product sample' his ps3...the graphics were excellent and the game, gta4, was very good...the driving part is relli difficult to master but fun to play lol...

sunna arrived at jefry hse after his tuition and we played summore before heading to dhobygaut to meet bear for the sinema movie screening...

at plazasing, we met more 'allies' lol evan kevin and chris joined us for the movie screening...so after buying dinnr, we went up this 'mountain' of steps to reach the mtsophia sinema...the show was relli 3 short films by local directors...and sinema entrance was free for the shortfilm screening...

RateMyDrawings!



yeah i did this drawing online! u can draw something online too with RateMyDrawings!

the program saves your brushwork as a video, which is a very cool feature! the drawback is that there is limited 'ink' that u can use so have to plan your drawing carefully. according to the website faq this is done to prevent lagging and large file sizes...lol

anytitle!

hofai and jefry were questioning why mi msn nick was so long...haha...



this video is done by ImprovEverywhere...a global 'organisation' that creates fun and puzzling scenes in public with the help of participant 'agents'...and the participants are all gathered from the general public lol...

but for this video itink they got professional singers...coz their timing is very good!

theatre review!

*31May08*
went to watch architecture of silence at esplanade theatre! itink it was the first time ive been inside the esplanade theatre haha. from what i rmb itink that the difference between the theatre and the concert hall is the concert hall has this big thingy hanging from the ceiling at the center of the concert hall...and also the theatre has an orchestra area in front of the stage...

ok now for the review!


-original images from http://www.singaporeartsfest.com/

Architecture of Silence
Slovene National Theatres Opera & Ballet Maribor and Ljubljana/Singapore Festival Orchestra

the performance starts with the group of dancers wearing suits and dresses and swimming caps sitting on sofas arranged in a box fashion...then a few of them starts dancing, taking turns...with the orchestra below silent for the moment...this part was very cool...without the music, the dancers had to keep to the timing of the dance by themselves, and it was clear that they had lots of training...


the orchestra was the Singapore Festival Orchestra and they played very well that night! the surprising thing was there was a 80strong choir seated in 4 rows in the 'backdrop' of the stage...when the curtains went up to reveal them itink most of the audience would have got quite a surprise lol...

there were also 5 other vocalists who were excellent...ESPECIALLY the soprano! the soprano was one of the highlights of the performance in mi opinion...her singing was powerful yet sensual...

there were many other surprises for the rest of the performance, and itink the audience were kept entertained with the myriad of strong yet fluid dance moves. the inspiration behind the act was the fish, the symbol of silence according to the programme booklet, and the dance choreography reflected that very well. there were also water elements being used on stage such as the fish tank.

when the performance was over there was rapturous applause, even though many seats were unfilled in the theatre...there were standing ovations too...and charmaine and her brother were giving standing ovations haha...i shouted 'bravo' for the soprano lol but the applause was very loud...the applause lasted very long haha but the performance deserved it!

ratings[+++++]5/5
powerful and grand...

supei very paiseh haha we thought u were not watching at all coz the 3 of us dunno where u were! when i saw ur msg sharis and me were at citylink alr and charmaine was loitering around esplanade haha...lets plan an ice cream outing!

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

hmm dun wan to put up another pic of prince caspian coz theres alr 2 of them in prev blogposts haha...this instalment of the narnia series was quite good...but it focused alot on fighting which, other than the big battle with moving trees and the water elemental, is rather stale...but the duel before the big battle was exciting...ok wun spoil too much of the movie haha...

movie review!


INDIANA JONES: KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL

this movie very often makes use of references to the previous indiana jones movies...as such it might be better, although not necessary, to arm yourself with some background knowledge of indiana jones if you havnt watched the other movies in this series...

harrison ford is indiana jones again, back in his same role. the story is about russian agents going after mysterious artifacts and they forcefully abducted indiana jones, bringing him into a US military base to help them find the artifact. ok cant describe too much here or it will become spoilers lol...

the movie's postproduction gives it a unique 'retro' movie look that is fitting to the show, and the soundtrack is rather 'retro' as well...lol

art review!

LOL so tired after the arts fest todae...caught a movie with hofai, mojo, jefry, evan, bear at plaza sing lol...which will be reviewed in another blogpost...

after movie helped out at the festivalmaze...then went to boatquay for the waterfools performance which was very nice and highly recommended...its sort of an opening performance for the arts fest this yr...the crowd was relli alot...and even the president was there!

so cool...before the actual waterfools show there were roving performers arnd boatquay...there was this man on a piano-cycle which was so funny yet awesome...and a high energy drum performance too...

the waterfools performance can only be described as pure entertainment...victorian-era dressed performers doing their stuff on water...sparks and fire on water...and operatic music...all culminating in a spectacular fireworks-laden finale...wow lol

SingaporeArtsFest08!

as some of mi frens would already know, im involved in this yrs arts festival as a volunteer...which means offering free labour to the arts festival haha...although most of the work requirement would require the volunteers to act as 'representatives' of the arts festival at the festival maze which is beside cityhall mrt...

i would be posting pictures and blogposts of the festival maze which is rather nice and artistic...as well as the experiences helping out at the festival...so do check back for more info!

titles!

this blogpost will touch on nuffnang titles, or rather innit titles, as well as how to fix your titles to one of the hot topics which are 'in-fashion'. perhaps this would be one way to increase blogviews?

ok firstly, this will be an experiment so im not sure whether this theory of putting trendy keywords on innit titles would help to increase blogviews, but hey this is an experiment, and experiments are useful in confirming hypotheses...itink...

aniwae, im sure most innit users would have realised that the current 'trendy' keyword on innit is sex...or related words...


as you can infer from the screenshot, there are 4 topics out of 10 which are sex-related, namely
the 'supergay' one...the 'sex blog'...the 'faking it'...'and the 'hot and sexy'...hmm but some would say that this keyword is alwaes 'in-fashion'...but sometimes there are other keywords that are popular...

few daes ago, itink the keyword was pamsong?coz she had 5 innit posts making it to the top 10 list...on the same day!?!?haha...although those posts hardly had any sex-related themes, its quite amazing how she got so many nangs up there in top 10...for 5 innit posts!?!?

as such the yak02.blogspot.com board of directors would like to do an experiment by putting this blogpost up on innit with a 'trendy' keyword...and check whether keeping to the trend when posting on innit would relli help to increase blogviews...

PrinceCaspian!

wow this is like a composition essay question haha...to get the gala tix...but seems fun so here is the blogpost!

EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW
The Chronicles of Narnia:Prince Caspian
after watching the trailer on the website provided by bossming, which loaded very slowly, i realised the trailer is arnd the same as the one being shown in cinemas haha.

Since ive watched the cinema Narnia trailer for a fewtimes, one would be safe to say that this movie would score at least a 3/5 and mebbe even 5/5 for most critics and reviewers. perhaps the one thing that could be improved on was the battlescene which were not as grand as some of the other movies due to the small armies involved.

however the water elemental in the trailer was like 'omg so cool' lol...but of course we dun watch the movie just for the water elementals...the wonderful thing that the director did was to use the same actors/actresses for the main leads.

ok this should be a good movie to catch, probably targetted at students during the hols...and fans of the series would most likely put this instalment on the mustwatch list.


gala tix!?!?lol

the trailer could be found here...

concert review

after the speedracer movie, choonhwee, jefry, hofai and mi went to the atrium beside plazasing to decide wad to do nxt coz there was still awhile before the concert starts at hcjc...and we realised that there was nt much to do lol so we went to the zone x arcade...and after few minutes, were relli sian of the arcade and so went out the arcade...there was like this class outing being held outside the pcbunk(aka fashion gaming centre coz of the fashion parade unknowingly held by the gamers there)...
we decided after some discussion to go to the cathay for dinnr but the food there so expensive so we just went for kopitiam beside the smu campus...ok then went in smu campus to explore...according to hofai, it was like a 'fortress' coz its very big...hmm lol but the underpass in smu was quite impressive...and hofai tot the shops at the side were simulations for the smu students lol...
took a bus to coronationplaza and bought flowers for mi cousin whu would be playing the viola during the concert.
wad a long preamble...now for the review!

being very early at hcjc, lol we certainly got some of the best seats for the concert.

the INSPIRATIONS VIII concert was held by the huachongjc stringensemble and if u rmb one of the previous blogpost where there was an advertisement for this concert, jefry, himself an ex-hcjc student, commented that...

'if i not wrong they nv take in noobs into strings'
'i think they gd'
-invoke/ignited aka jefry

and rightly so coz imo the ensemble were technically skilled...and played the pieces very well.

the first piece played was the Holberg Suite in 5mvts by Grieg...perhaps the ensemble were nervous at the start coz there were a few errors but not too serious though...by the 3rd mvt the ensemble had swung into high gear and finished the remainder of the suite with finesse. according to jefry, he felt that the ensemble could have handled the pauses between mvts better.

the 2ndpiece was inspirational, and very fitting to the theme of the concert. the piece played was Moz-Art a la Haydn by Schnittke, sort of a remix of different Mozart compositions. the piece started off interestingly with a cacophony of disturbing sounds and disorganisation, while the concertmistress and the vicepresident of the ensemble carved out their own music in the state of chaos created by their fellow ensemble players...the piece ended in a creative way, as the musicians left the stage one-by-one even as the piece slowly finished.

after the intermission, the audience were treated to serenade in c major, 3rd and 4th mvts, by Tchaikovsky and the stringensemble relli shone in these 2 pieces. jefry noted that the ensemble seemed to have agreed on how to handle the pauses between mvts. the 2mvts were relli enjoyable...with the rich flavours of the music emanating from stage...

the rest of the pieces were shorter and faster paced as well as more lighthearted. it was easy to tell that the ensemble were enjoying the fast pieces...especially one piece which was played fully in pizzicato mode...the ensemble played one encore piece before wrapping up the concert.

in all, an enjoyable concert, for the audience and even for the ensemble too...

in an interview with the president of the stringensemble, she remarked...

'i think we had quite a lot of fun
it wasn't perfect lah.. got mistakes&screwups
but it was fun =)'
-`summerbreeze ♥ hcse aka the president aka mi cousin

yeah thats the review!

movie review!

yeah movie reviews again!

this review is about speedracer the movie, which according to hofai n jefry was adapted from an anime called speedracer...

ok lets get the review going!

this movie has a retro feel to it due to the bright colours and contrasts, which itink suits the movie very well...the story is about speed racer, yeah thats the main actor's screen name, not his job...speed racer is a racer too, and his dad's company, racer motors or smthing liddat designs and builds race cars.

ok to maintain the integrity of this blog there shall not be too many spoilers about the movie so spoilers will be limited...

basically the story of the movie is speed racer going up against the large car manufacturers who have the habit to fixing the grandprix competitor position so that they benefit businesswise...very sly eh...but speedracer would not allow himself to damage the integrity of the grandprix so he teams up with an organisation which hunts down unsportsmanship behaviour...mainly of the large corporations since they have the money to 'screw the rules', as kaiba from yugioh would quote...

ratings [++++ ] 4/5
this show is very value for money as the duration is arnd 2hrs...the racing scenes are very exciting and keeps the audience at the edge of their seats...isuppose...the grandprix race that speedracer participates in is very fierce, and although the show is heavily cg, it gives the movie a cartoony atmosphere that works...trixie is quite pretty although the retro outfit is lol...jefry commented on trixie early on when trixie made an appearance but lol itink trixie is still quite cute la...lol ok another thing is the korean superstar rain whu didnt just play a cameo role in the movie but had quite a large role...this is hilarious coz rain had been dominating the premovie advertisements for the prev months with his advertisements as well as in the movietrailers...however his acting skills are quite good lol...

outing at bugis

ok sry to some of mi blogviewers...haha itink uall must have felt cheated by the previous blogpost titled PREVIEW-outing at bugis...

ok now the actual blogpost...

wanted to go bugis to buy some artsupplies lol so went there by train...shopped arnd bugis junction for slingbags at ZINC but those bags dint relli interest mi...so jus headed to artsupplies at bbs complex which is beside the library...outside bugis LOL met mojo who was going to the library...so decided to form alliance for the outing...we went bbs first where ibought a filbertbrush and oilpaints which were so expensive...ok after that went library and mojo explored the lvl5 studyarea for his firsttime lol...very nice place to study, but an even better place to chillout lol...then the alliance decided to go sunshineplaza to check out anime/manga stuff...afterthat went plazasing where mojo eat kfc...then went midpointorchard to this gamingshop...and met evan lol so fierce but he dint join the alliance coz he was in another alliance alr and they were going to watch mvie...then went to taka n shop arnd and then bought a canvasboard and canvaspanel lol...

hmm lol the english abit chim eh, nxttime shuld use audrey's tactic in blogging...

ok theres gonna be a moviereview and a blogpost on the HCSE concert coming up...as well as a secretblogproject too lol...

MOVIE REVIEW


IRONMAN (minimal spoilers)

the movie is about ironman, the hero from marvelcomics...tonystark, of stark industries is famous for making powerful weapons systems...but when he escapes a kidnap incident by building an armoured metalsuit and blasting his way out from his captors' cave, he decides to build a more advanced piece of armoured metalsuit (with supersonic flight capabilities) for saving people...

overall, a very good movie with well-balanced plot...the suit is so cool, and the soundtrack is very fitting...although its mostly rock songs...

ratings [++++ ] 4/5
the suit is so cool!

movie review!

this is a movie review for the movie called...superhero movie

as u might have guessed alr, its by the makers of epicmovie, and all those wadevermovie spoofs lol

this one centers around the plot of the spiderman movie...so its recommended that u watch it before going for this movie since it draws heavily on the spidermanplot...but the hero is dragonflyman, or as they call it...the dragonfly...

the show itself is hilarious lol alot of nonsense jokes and these jokes are paced quite well...the jokes are also quite high level, similar to the epic movie's 'bodydouble kungfu fight' one...and also the 'get smart' movie's element of surprise joke LOL...

rating[++++ ]4/5

movie review!

hmm havnt uploaded the cosplay pics yet lol they shuld be coming up soon lol

aniwae lets start with the movie review of vantagepoint...

a very fast paced action thriller...lol with a cool idea for the first hr of the movie...the same 10min scene is repeated 5 or 6times with a different...vantagepoint lol, each story arc unveils more of the plot and develops the story furthur...the linking between the different characters and their story is very strong and this is what the movie shines at. although the movie is at 90mins or so...the pace of the movie is excellent. through the show u would be doing lots of guesswork if u wan to discover the plot, but u would be surprised often coz u would mostlikely have guessed wrongly about the plot...the action scene at the end is fierce lol especially the car chase which makes initial d look like a childish anime...

no offence here...lol

this movie is inventive and exciting...

rating [++++ ] 4/5

taiwan elections!


a speedpainting lol


click HERE to embed this on ur blog
linked from rich01.blogspot.com

wow the taiwan presidential elections are heating up!

locked in a two way battle between the Kuomingtang and Democraticprogressiveparty, whus going to win the elections this time round?

imo, irelli hope the kmt candidate 马英九 wins the president's seat lol...not jus coz he's more charismatic, but the kmt team relli deserve to lead taiwan this time...for proof why the dpp should step down this time u jus need to take a look at taiwan now, which is in quite a bad economic state...

another thing is the fierce advertisement campaigns run by both sides. the kmt's adverts focus on bringing hope to the people and the economy while the dpp's adverts are mostly trying to land attacks on the kmt's candidate and the party...not relli honourable eh...

ok although this taiwan election has little bearing on s'pore but u gotta admit that their elections are very interesting lol

KMT election website
DPP election website



lol yeah jefry u got embed this vid on ur blog too but this relli is a good advertisement and much more substance than the DPP advertisements



this is one of the better of the dpp's adverts, the rest are jus trying to defame kmt and their members...which itink is the wrong way to run for presidency, or for that matter any elections...what u need to tell the public is how good u are and not how bad the opposition is...

btw the voting booth at the top of this post is a joint collaboration with mi bro lol

movie review!

was with hofai and hasyir at the cathay to catch the JAPAN TOP BOX OFFICE MOVIE evangelion1.0 lol...basically its an anime styled movie...hmm actualli u could call it an animovie!?!?

aniwae...before the review starts, ive put on a new song by shimatanihitomi in the imeem playlist!

movie review
a very good movie!!!it would amaze u quite often and after watching this iwas wondering why they did not make any gundam movies...lol

the animation is very well done, fluid movements throughout the movie for both the characters and the eva units. the soundtrack is excellent...music used fits well with the storyline and the movie...infact it fits verywell, there were portions of the movie where u would be kept on the edge of ur seat more through the effect of the pounding orchestral score during the colossal battle scenes.

btw only cathay cineplexes are screening this...

if u dunlike mecha anime idun tink u would be interested...if u do then its highly recommended...doesnt matter if u prefer gundam or other mecha titles.

ratings[++++ ]4/5

after the movie we went to vivocity to get some cosplay ambience since there was a cosplay event going on...check the nxt blogpost for more details on the cosplay event lol

there has been a wave of shimataniphilia recently...after i came across this video of a ps2 game called "another century's episode 3" which features a storyline from major anime mecha titles like gundam wing, gundam seed, eureka7 and much more. shimatani hitomi, whu is a japanese/brazillian, mainly sings japanese dance pop and hi tempo tracks which fit well into any mecha anime u can name lol...her normal dance pop songs are ok, but she relli shines in the other category of songs...in fact she had done anime songs and ingame songs for other titles as well...
