Verdict: A hilarious action movie to individual preference (if you can accept the American style of black humour + goriness) with undeniable great acting from all actors

This is a movie about acting on acting. It's about a group of "high profile" movie stars trapped in the jungle to film a new movie, but found out that they were facing terrorist and they had to fight their way out.

The story is simple enough to understand.

The joke is not everybody's preference but I still found myself laughing.

But the acting by the actors are the highlight. Two thumbs up for Robert Downey Jr. for protraying the African American soldier.

At first I can't even recognise him, because he's using a totally different voice and had different look - and he was funny - looks like his acting career is getting better nowadays :-)

Rating: 5.5 (on movie) + 2.5 (on the actors acting skill) /10

P/S: Tom Cruise had a totally different look in this movie as well, LOL

Verdict: A Doraemon movie that has missed the point of having one in the first place.

The reason why I enjoy watching Doraemon series/movies is because of its gadget - to see how the writer creatively use the imagination to solve the problem that Doraemon et al face in any situation.

The movie had already stated in the first place that Doraemon needed to repair his gadgets, therefore most were sent to 22nd century, leaving those useless ones.

That, is exactly the reason that made this movie boring.

The story kept focusing on the cuteness of ki-ki (the little tree that can walk and make facial expression) - reminds me of Stephen Chow's CJ7

Another thing to complain about is the drawing style of the Doraemon - the outline etc is so unoriginal and made me wonder if they are producing the movie for the sake of money, and nothing else.

This has to be stopped or Doraemon will become a crappy merchandise instead of a cartoon legend.

Rating: 5/10

P/S: However, there's a quote in the movie that I'm quite agree with "It's a human nature to make mistake, but it's also a human nature to learn from the mistake"

Verdict: Looks like a spin-off from "My Sassy Girl" with some idea from Doraemon

This movie tells about a robotic woman from the future, traveled to 21st century in order to help the guy and also saved the lives of many people.

The ending is a good one but overall the story isn't convincing - because if changing history is possible, the robotic woman may not exist in the first place (well, I guess to further extend this argument, one may be interested to refer to "Parallel universe" in wikipedia)

Rating: 6/10

Verdict: A drama series that can let you have a glimpse of Japanese and Chinese culture

This drama tells about how a Japanese woman, who lost her job in Japan, found her way to Shanghai and established a fashion business there, eventually.

The portrayal of Japanese and Chinese culture were quite accurate but let's face it, both have their own advantages and disadvantages - it's good to adopt the good ones

Kudos to the Japaneses who did the homework to speak Mandarin and Petro Ho, to speak Japanese

Rating: 7/10

Verdict: A motivational drama series that is also heartwarming

The story tells a girl who had phobia to act on stage, after being insulted by her friend.

10 years later, she joined a free school which basically let the students do what they want, and the freedom to attend the classes anytime they want.

There she knows 3 friends, which helped her to stand up again, and back on stage to do the things she like - to be an actress

Rating: 7/10

Verdict: A hilarious drama that can definitely help you to de-stress

This drama tells how the elder sister bullies her younger sister, however, the younger one is willing but also at the same time tries to get rid of such a life.

The script is smart enough to keep convincing their surrounding people that her sister is an angel as opposed to what she's been telling...

Rating: 9/10

Verdict: A nice detective series to watch in summer

This is a year-old Japanese drama.

The story is about a group of 5 teenagers detective, on how to fight with a group of villains, who uses psychic power to control others to perform criminal activities.

Overall, good performance from the 5 teenagers and the stories are interesting enough to keep you wanting to watch the next.

Rating: 8/10

Verdict: Robotic boyfriend could prove to be more sweet (and delicious) than a human version

The main actress ordered a robotic boyfriend to try out - only to find out that she needed to purchase in the end.

This story tells how she get along with this new "family member" and how the robotic boyfriend touched her heart in the end.

Rating: 7/10

P/S: This is the drama that let me get to know Ayaka, where she sings the theme song "Okaeri" for this drama.

Verdict: A big drama with big casts. Some scene (or you may argue most of the scene) are unnecessarily blood-boiling - but if you enjoy it, why not?

I've written some episode-by-episode review of this drama.

After watching the drama, I can quite conclude that it's not a drama for me. Simply because of too much made-up blood-boiling moment.

But well, to act in such as way is not easy. So the rating will still remain high

Rating: 7/10

Verdict: Great acting, with some violent scene.

Is it considered a great improvement for Roger Kwok? But one thing undeniable thing is that, his portrayal of villain in the movie is proved to be scary for many - for he is really a two-faced dog who would really give one a great stab silently.

That, however, is accompanied with some violent scene, mainly for the purpose of showing how cold-blood he could be.

Rating: 7/10

P/S: I still don't understand how did the production team do it in episode 20, when he dropped his mum openly.

Got the song featured in the ad :)

Lyrics:

Tell me something, little broken sky.
Out of focus with a drifting cloud,
Longest puzzle I have ever solved,
Paint a picture on my destined wall.

This ad caught my attention - because of its background music.

Lyric for this ad tune roughly goes something like this:

Tell me something, little broken sky.
Out of focus with a drifting cloud,
Longest puzzle I have ever solved,
Paint a picture on my destined wall.

It's definitely a psychedelic one and - apparently heavily influenced by The Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows.

That's a great achievement for this 42 year-old song, isn't it?

Hi all! This is me at Hulu Langat hill, Kuala Lumpur. The view is great.


Another shot with KL view being clearer.

Meanwhile, Trevor and his friend, Eng Hong took me and Emoody together for photo.


If they think I'm gonna say they're very cute, they are damn wrong.


They looked very gay. Period.

Went to Tanjung Sepat last Sunday with the family.

Overall, a relaxing one day trip.

After having 110 friends in three weeks, my facebook account was disabled.

To summarise their FAQ, it simply means except human, others are not welcomed!

Forgive me for my rudeness, this is really WTF and it's beary (very) discriminating!

Bears have rights too!

Luckily, there's this place called BearPlace.net, they have a forum so I'll start my new social life there.


Of course, at the same time, I'll be blogging as per normal.

Thanks for 10% of the human support in Facebook, and of course the 90% of the bears!

Emoody is moodier with emo glasses, thanks to Colleen :-3

Had sausage as the dinner at Bavarian Bierhaus, two days ago.


It's satisfying, accompanied with a pint of German beer.

Not to forget their pork knuckles, which I had a week ago, at the same place...
