Memento Mori, Carpe Diem!
Yeah I know.. it’s been two full weeks of silence at this blog – most of which I spent doing stuff not really worth putting up here.. stuff like work, surfing & facebooking, a lil boardgaming, lots of cybercafe with our recent COD4 addiction… And a lot of movies – 1 or 2 of which [...]

Okay, seeing that I have not been going out much, the only other activity left for me is to continue watching my unwatched movies (thanks to Chin Li of course).. I’m such a closeted movie buff lol. Considering my lack of updates and the fact that I’ll be heading out to Terengganu tomorrow for prayers [...]

Rewatched a few old movies on Saturday – these 3 had a pretty big impact during my growing years.. Independence Day (1996) Yeah man, the good ole times. I was in Form 4 when this first came out, and I remember clearly the intense hype and anticipation everyone had for it, with the ominous shadow [...]

..a waste of cash to see in the cinema. Most of the time, they aren’t really funny, and those that are, are usually banned in Malaysia (Borat anyone?). There is also a huge proliferation of the so called ‘American STUPID comedies (Dude, where’s my car?)’ – which reflects a lot on their society. Then again, [...]

Warning : Long review post ahead.. I have not seen a horror movie in so long, I guess I just had to flood my system with 8 of them in 5 days. English ones mind you – I’ll move on to Asian horror at a later date. Most of the following movies left me with [...]

GridIron Gang (2006) 3rd American football movie I’ve watched this year (Invincibles and We Are Marshall were the first 2), and probably the better one of the lot. This time, Coach Carter played by Dwayne Johnson (The Rock), forms a football team consisting of juvenile criminals in an attempt to reform them. Not too bad [...]

Ah finally, a self rewarded breath of English movies after my non stop 14 Asian (Japanese) film marathon. Hollywoodland (2006) Based on one of Hollywood’s notorious true stories, Ben Affleck plays George Reeves, the actor who plays Superman and dies in an apparent suicide (or is it murder?). Adrien Brody comes in as the private [...]

The focus this time is on 4 samurai period pieces from the 1960s. Categorically called Jidaigeki – these drama/action films are primarily staged during the Edo era in Japanese history, and is usually about the fight between good (usually ronin) and evil (corrupt government officials). And if you didn’t already know, Jidai is where George [...]
