Movie Reviews III

Here comes the long awaited Movie Reviews III!!! I'm very sorry for the late information as i'm kind of busy with my stuff these few weeks. For the following 4 movies below, only The Prestige and DeathNote are showing in GV Cinemas now. There are afew other shows I've watch already. The Covenant and The Guardian i've too, watched it already. But in the mids of watching The Guardian, I fall asleep... Sucks.... I'm just too tired that day... Well, I will watch it again! Alright guys, there goes....


1) The Prestige : From acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan ("Memento," "Batman Begins"), comes a mysterious story of two magicians whose intense rivalry leads them on a life-long battle for supremacy full of obsession, deceit and jealousy with dangerous and deadly consequences. From the time that they first met as young magicians on the rise, Robert Angier (HUGH JACKMAN) and Alfred Borden (CHRISTIAN BALE) were competitors. However, their friendly competition evolves into a bitter rivalry making them fierce enemies-for-life and consequently jeopardizing the lives of everyone around them.

My Rating and Views : 7/10. The need to prove to each other as to who is the better magician made this movie worth watching. This movie is abit slow and bored during the start. What made this movie interesting is the slight twisted at the end of the movie. Some may love this show, some may find it boring. To me, a good movie!

2) DeathNote : Shinigami, the God of Death, dropped a notebook in the human world where a weary genius picked it up. “The human whose name is written in this note shall die”, it said. This was the notebook of death that determined people’s death. Light Yagami, an extremely bright elite university student was the one to possess this ultimate tool that should remain only in the hands of God. Light decides to create an ideal world and begins to hold the scales to judge the criminals in his discretion. Meanwhile, ICPO (International Criminal Police Organization) has placed a mysterious detective called “L” in the Japanese police force to investigate the series of criminal dying suddenly. “L”, having solved many unresolved cases in the world, begins to tighten the investigative screws over these cases. But Light cleverly manipulates the notebook of death to toss and shake off the investigation. The future of mankind is at the mercy of this crucial and fierce battle of the two brains.

My Rating and Views : 9/10. Excellent movie, execellent plot wih 2 very stylo characters acting in this show! Deathnote originally is from a manga, a japanese comic book. The Shinigami, God of Death is damn cute and funny..haha.. He should be appointed as Apple God instead of Death God. Character Light and character "L" is damn smart! I love "L" more because of his "bo charp" pattern/character but a super observant and smart fellow! Especially the last part where "L" was eating the chips which Light ate... Smart....(those who watch this movie will know what i'm talking about). Part 2 is coming out soon. Can't wait to watch!

3) The Departed : The story takes place in Boston, where the state police force is waging war on organized crime. Young undercover cop Billy Costigan Leonardo DiCaprio is assigned to infiltrate the mob syndicate run by gangland chief Costello Jack Nicholson. While Billy is quickly gaining Costello’s confidence, Colin Sullivan Matt Damon, a hardened young criminal who has infiltrated the police department as an informer for the syndicate, is rising to a position of power in the Special Investigation Unit. Each man becomes deeply consumed by his double life, gathering information about the plans and counter-plans of the operations he has penetrated. But when it becomes clear to both the gangsters and the police that there is a mole in their midst, Billy and Colin are suddenly in danger of being caught and exposed to the enemy — and each must race to uncover the identity of the other man in time to save himself.

My Rating and Views : 5/10. The moment i watched this show.... My hair all stand... Felt abit disgusted... The whole freaking show is exactly the same as Infernal Affairs 1. I knew it even before i watch this movie. But i thought they might change the plot alittle... But no! Its the same! Why i felt funny and disgusted? Guys, imagine Jack Nicholson is Zeng Zhi Wei, Leonardo DiCaprio is Liang Chao Wei and the worst, the ugly and gay looking Matt Damon is Andy Lau!!! I felt sad for Andy Lau.... Enough said...


4) Rob B Hood : Brought up in an impoverished family, and kicked out of school in his teens, Thongs found himself on the wrong side of the tracks despite being nimble-footed and neat-fingered. Spurned by his family and hounded by debtors, he is goaded by his greedy landlord to collaborate in harebrained heists. Together with the agile and opportunistic Octopus, the trio kidnaps the baby grandson of a tycoon. However, due to some unexpected glitches, they fail to hand him over to the triad as planned.

My Rating and Views : 8/10. An interesting and funny movie. Its quite educational to a certain extend as well. Its another typical Jackie Chan's action Movie. Worth watching too.

Well, I've watch The Covenant already as well... I will update it on my Movie Reviews IV as soon as possible. Thats all folks!

Sleepless Nights with A Troubled Mind

It has been a long time... Really long time, since I last puffed near to 3 packs in a single day..

It has been a long time... 5 years...since I lasted dated another person...

Its has been a long time... 5 years...since I lasted enjoyed the companionship of another lady

It has been a long time... 5 years...since I lasted asked a girl to be mine

and

It has been a long time... 5years...since I have sleepless nights with a troubled mind.

2 must learn to be frank, trusting and truthful to each other before 2 can progress

This is a lesson i've learned from my past relations.

But why some people just don't understand this simple theory? Is it to hard to comprehen?

No....

Maybe they are just uncomfortable about telling their partners too much about their past...

Maybe they want to be certain that this guy/girl is their ideal partner before they can disclose their darkest secrets to them...

or maybe Its because they have a very bad experience with their partner in the past...

BUT

Whatever one does... one got to know that for certain issues, it must be made known and not be hidden in their darkest corner of their heart.

Whatever one does... they must learn to be truthful. Let the other party decided what is good for them... as they are old enough to decide...


Althought one is very disappointed with the other... but one is still hoping... hoping that the other will call and just be truthful for once. One is willing to listen if the other is willing... For one is serious with the other...

Car Accident!!

My Gosh... Yesterday had a freaking car accident... Seriously, i don't care about how bad was my car damaged or how much am i going to pay for the repair fees... The thing is, Rach is inside my car!!!! When i turn around and see her, shes liked, stunned!

The 1st thing which came to my mind is,"If shes hurt, the front and the back car drivers will be dead..." I asked if shes ok, i straightaway get off from my car, and scolded the both of them.

The whole incident is as such. While travelling along Tampines Ave 2, the front car jam brake as his front car came to a sudden halt because of a bicyclist whom just dash across the road. I managed to come to a stop in time. 3 seconds after, a Mitsubishi Lancer just ramp onto the back of my car!! i extended my hand towards Rach straightaway to minimise the impact on her... I went down, i scolded the front driver. But the 3rd car driver came down and told me off saying, "You know how to drive anot!"

I straightaway told her, "Auntie, i will FULL CLAIM You!"

Actually its her daughter who drove the car... who pass near 2 months ago! She even admitted that she did not even step her brake padel as shes too panic to react! I was like, oh my gosh...you are so freaking Kelong! I was given a replacement car to drive after my car was towed away. A Toyota Altis 1.6.

I still love my Honda jazz...

Anyway, i will listen to Rach more.... I will give signals before i change lane, check my blindspot and drive at a slower speed.... :)

The above only applies if you are sitting beside me! haaa. I'll be more careful in future. I promise! Sorry again for your neck because of the accident. Will make up to you next time! And thanks for being so supportive and even tried to comfort me a little, telling me to cool down and stuff... But trust me, I'm angry with them because i'm really afraid that you are hurt... my god....

I took some pictures of all the 3 damaged cars. I will insert into my blog the next time i blog. I hope my sportrims and my car systems are intact. My woofer even went "out of place" when the accident occurs...

Heart damn pain... Alright guys...Thats all.

Sharing session

Hi all, just for your info, i maynot be logging into the msn as often anymore because i sold my laptop away to my colleague. I will be getting another laptop at around december period.

Chicken Soup for the Soul has always been one of my favourite "educational book". There is one particular story which i loved it alot and want to share with you guys. I cannot remember word for word but the story goes liked this,

There was this couple Rick and Rachel. They were in a relationship for 2 years. But for the past few months, they seems to be quarreling frequently, even for trival matters like what should be the colour of their bedroom! Rick just cannot understand why Rachel was so demanding out of the sudden while Rachel is pissed off with the change in attitude in Rick. Soon, the both of them felt that there is a need to solved all their issues and miscommunications. Finally, They both sat down and began to communicate.

Rick suggested with a method. He said, "since we cannot communicate with each other well, why don't we just each take a piece of paper writing down all our shortcomings and expectations of each other? We will then exchange them and have a good look at it."

Rachel agreed. She started to write,

1)Please be at home on time for dinner when i cook for you
2)Flush after you used the toilet
3)After you started on this new job, you did not spend quality time with me
4)There are no surprises from you anymore, compared to last time. Life is so routine!
5)For goodnees sake, stop snoring in the when you are sleeping. I'm tired too!

and the lists goes on.... But to her dispair, she noticed that Rick right from the start only wrote afew words, folded the paper and smile... this pissed her off further as she thought that he is not interested in resolving their issues together. But she continue writing...

When they finish writing, Rachel gave him her paper. When Rick read it, he was very disappointed and just looked at Rachel without saying a word... Rachel was getting impatient and agitated. She asked, "So these are your problems! What is mine?!" Rick sadly handed over his paper to her...when she read it, she just when over to hug Rick, and wept...

There were only 7 words in Rick's paper...

"I LOVE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE..."

Guys, this is a simple lesson on relationship. To maintain a relationship is never an easy task at all. There will definately be ups and downs in a relationship. I always hear my Superior say this, "When in doubt, always fall back on your Mission. You will never go wrong..." I can just rephase his sentence for this case... "When in doubt, always fall back on why do you want to make him your bf/gf/husband/wife in the 1st place..." This question alone will trigger your thoughts and hold back your temper. And also, communication is important in a relationship.

Remember, the word RELATIONSHIP comes from the word RELATE!!

I hope this blog will help some of you guys! Stay tune!!
