movie review!

this is a movie review for the movie 10000bc...watched it with jeffrey, mojo, hofai, vincent...pt, liangying n logan watched it too but at another section of the theatre...actualli it was rather impromptu decision for watching movie lol...the outing was an itfair outing...with many pics taken and some would be uploaded soon...

ok the review...might have spoilers

the trailer for this movie was quite ok...shows the main character fight some mammoth elephants with some ornate spear...yup lo-tech tribal setting...

main character is steven strait and camilla belle whu is so chio lol...

oo ijus discovered a fast way of adding pics into this blog...more pics comin up...

aniwae...

throughout the movie itink the director was trying to lead the viewer to believe that the show involves lo-tech stuff like spears fashioned out of wood and such...but as the viewers watch on...there are many surprises

-----spoilers starting-----

the movie starts with the tribe having a food shortage and they are in need of more mammoths for food...the main character had won the rights to take the ornate spear n the very pretty girl by managing to bring down a mammoth...then some other tribe came on horses...which seemed to be 4legged monsters...and raided their tribe area...thus began a search for those hi-tech enemy tribe...along the way they encountered other tribes whu also wanted to get back at those horsemen and very quickly a decent army was raised when more tribes joined in...turns out that the main character was the chosen one to lead them against those horsemen...then theres a scene which is rather stunning...the horsemen escapes on ships!?!?and its not rafts but large galleys!the lo-tech tribes people then had to trek across some desert until the reach the place where those horsemen were headed...and they arrived at the building site of a pyramid!?!?most prob the horsemen were egyptians and they even tamed mammoths to use as trucks...the prob is that they were using too many slaves...and too many mammoths...after some skirmishes, the main character n his gang caused a rebellion rather easily...the movie ended quite well...

ok...yahoo movies gave it quite a low score...but this blog?

plot/storyline [++++ ]4/5
decent story, not much of twists and turns, but this movie doesnt need those
graphics/camera [++++ ]4/5
great cg effects and animations
soundtrack [+++++]5/5
at lotr standard, mebbe even surpassing that...
acting/costume [+++++]5/5
steven strait does a good job, his instructor in the show exudes an aura of a skilled hunter, and the costumes are tribal and fit into the movie rather well
camilla belle [+++++]5/5
she looks better with tribal outfits and braidedlocks lol





ratings [+++++]5/5

pressconference1!

the management has decided to hold a press conference to answer a few questions...

firstly, about the song in the imeem playlist...it seems that one of the blog viewers had complained about this song, saying that it is not a sustainable song...meaning that it gets borin after awhile. this the management agrees and had changed the top song to a new one by angela zhang shao han...

next, about the podcast/vodcast issue...the management assures the blogviewers that podcasts/vodcasts of good quality would be uploaded. for curious reporters, podcasts would be uploaded to imeem and vodcasts would be uploaded to youtube. the management has spoken to the relevant authorities and imeem and youtube have agreed to provide free accounts to upload these productions.

the management had received a rave review by a certain "sz3" for the blogpost titled "MOSCOW WAS PWNED", and would like to thank him/her for the support shown. the management takes pride in ensuring quality blogposts are made before they are posted.

in case questions about pepperproject surface, the management is pleased to announce that the 3 pieces of artwork done for the pepperproject would be put up when the pepperproject submission ends.

as a side note, the management had obtained the finale notepad music notation software, and our composers would be working on new music compositions which would be uploaded on imeem.

last but not least...the management is pleased to reveal that blogview figures for the prev wk was a record high of 86 unique blogviews according to nuffnang surveys. although the management partly predicts that this spike in blogviews could be due to the opsmanning period. nevertheless, the management would begin the second round of advertising and marketing to garner more blogviews.

thanks for a successful pressconference!
