Your Human Rights.

2009-09-29T18:12:00.000-07:00

What are Human Rights?
Human rights are the basic rights given to you as a human. You don’t have to buy them. You don’t have to ask for them. You don’t have to apply for them. They are yours unconditionally. And they are 30 of them in all.

Human Right #1:

The Sci-Fi Film of the Year – as far as I’m concerned

2009-08-12T21:54:00.000-07:00

Title: G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra (2009)
Produced by: Paramount Pictures
Country: US
Directed by: Stephen Sommers
Producers: Lorenzo di Bonaventura
Bob Duscay
Brian Goldner
Featuring: Channing Tatum
Marlon Wayans
Rachel Nichols
Ray Park
Christopher Eccleston
Sienna Miller
Dennis Quaid
Rating: US [PG-13]; UK [12A]; CA [14A/PG]; AU [M]; JP [G]; TW [護] IAR [12-MV]
Genre: Sci-Fi Action.

Basically it’s based on the G.I. Joe franchise – Channing Tatum plays Conrad Hauser who heads a special team we recruited to transport a nanotech weapon. Anyway it turns out that the creator, James McCullen, has other plans in his diabolical mind.

No kidding I truly love this film. It’s so much better than Transformers! There!!! Anybody who disagrees can suck my t****!

It’s yet another comic book action movie – however, this film contains more intense violence as compared to Spiderman or Transformers. For example, the first scene where McCullen’s ancestor got a red hot iron mask fused onto his face. There’s also more hack and slash, which appears to be more intense than expected.

Nonetheless, it’s a truly cool movie and I bet you won’t regret watching.

New House at Stapok

2009-07-24T00:31:00.000-07:00

Just recently moved into our new house at Stapok (near the Sungai Maong Methodist Church). It's really cool, and i've finally had the opportunity to share it with you guys.

MY ROOM

SISTER'S ROOM

MASTER ROOM

The sitting room with a 40" Full-HD LCD TV and home theatre system... The way i like it.

All-in-all, i'm pretty contented with the layout of the room. All we need now is the ASTRO to be hooked up and the indispensible internet connection - hopefully we'll use WiMAX.

That's pretty much it, it's not all big and whatnot, but it's good enough for us four.

Remy's Birthday

2009-07-15T00:31:00.000-07:00

Last saturday, the 11th of july was Remy's birthday... To celebrate, we (me, jesz and paul) brought him and his sister out to dinner. Joining us at dinner that nite were his cousin Isaac, cousin Andy, and fren Jacob.

The dinner at Sun Delight was nice... but we forgot to take pictures... then again, it's nuthing to brag about.

After that, Remy's sister Dewi was deciding our next destination. After much deliberation on the price, we finally went for Mojo.

As you can see, everyone had fun at Mojo, we started with a couple jugs of Tequila Sunrise. and then Dewi ordered another...

-_-|||

the nite ended with plenty of fun and laughter, we all wished Remy a magnificent 22nd birthday - too bad the only thing missing was the cake... awwww~

Think Before You Take a Job

2009-03-21T22:12:00.000-07:00

Title: The Nanny Diaries (2007)
Produced by: The Weinstein Company
Country: US
Directed by: Shari Springer Berman
Robert Pulcini
Producers: Richard N. Gladstein
Featuring: Scarlett Johansson
Chris Evans
Alicia Keys
Laura Linney
Paul Giamatti
Donna Murphy
Nicholas Art
Rating: US [PG-13]; UK [12A]; CA [14A]; AU [M]; JP [PG-12]; TW [普] IAR [PG-L]
Genre: Comedy.

Anne has just graduated from Harvard. She’s a little lost on her tracks and during a chance meeting finds herself on an inevitable road to being a nanny for an Upper-East Side family in Manhattan. In the process, she finds herself tied with strict rules and an appalling work situation. It is down to her to get herself up on track again and get some sense back.

What I like about this movie is that it is a good comedy. And if you know me well enough, you’ll know that I “loves za good comeedee”. To be honest, there’s nothing that actually stand out in the movie. Flatly, it’s just a really good comedy.

Heroes Volume 4: Fugitives [LINKED]

2009-03-19T20:38:00.000-07:00

Warning: This post contains some spoilers for Heroes Volume 4.

Have you started catching up on the latest season of Heroes? NO?!!! What the hell are you doing? Get off that seat and start doing something! Heroes Season 4 premiered on NBC in the US sometime in mid-February and it is now all the hype.

I’ll try not to give much away at this – besides, I’ve only watched three episodes so far.

Okay, firstly, it’s called ‘Fugitives’ – for a good reason. Apparently, it turns out that Nathan Petrelli is behind a major government operation to capture and imprison everyone who has a power. Noah Bennet is also in on the operation – to protect Claire, so to speak.

Hence, everyone is running, Peter, Matt, Hiro, Ando, Mohinder. While the gang is trying to get down onto the affair, Tracy Strauss on the other hand, is the first being successfully captured and she’s in deep doodoo. There’s also a newcomer, a cocky, government agent-looking guy with a Southern accent (played by Željko Ivanek).

Oooh! And Sylar’s back – I hate to disappoint Sylar haters, but you’ve gotta give it to the producers, they really know who to keep in their show. Well, Sylar’s kinda nice (doesn’t mean he stopped killing) he’d just moved it down the list a little. His main goal now is to find his real father. To help Sylar, is a 17 year-old boy with roughly the same f-ed up mentality: lost dad at a young age, wonders why he turns out the way he did. And btw, the boy has the power to heat things up pretty fast.

Not a Very Guy-friendly Movie

2009-03-11T20:33:00.000-07:00

Title: Hard Candy (2006)
Produced by: Lionsgate Pictures
Country: US
Directed by: David Slade
Producers: Rosanne Korenberg
Featuring: Patrick Wilson
Ellen Page
Sandra Oh
Jennifer Holmes
Gilbert John
Rating: US [R]; UK [18]; CA [18A]; AU [R 18+]; JP [R-18]; IAR [18-LMPSV]
Genre: Psychological thriller.

A photographer, Jeff, meets a teenage girl, Haley, through an online chatting site. After three weeks of chatting, Jeff finally agrees to meet Haley for coffee. Little did he know that he will be going into a desperate struggle to stay alive as Haley (awfully insane and very angry – the way I see it) ties him up and do “things” to him.

This film is really scary – not because it’s a horror film – rather because it’s very disturbing and just gives chills down your back. I don’t know who actually came out with the idea of such an idea for a movie, but he/she has gotta be pretty messed up. The main focus of this film is that Haley pins the notion that Jeff is a paedophile murderer, and she’s making him “pay” for his alleged “shortcoming”.

Okay, okay, you must be thinking why I am being such a girl bout it. Well, I don’t wanna give the plot away but there’s a point where someone gets castrated. For once, I think this film is not suitable for anyone who’s male. So there, if you do watch, be prepared.

Genre: Sci-Fi. Remake of the 1951 film with the same name.

Alright, it’s a pretty simple and straightforward story. This little alien came to Earth, this little alien landed in Manhattan, this little alien is hunted down, and this little alien cried wee- wee- wee- about killing the human species. So this astrobiologist lady is suppose to help him – but after she finds out that his job on Earth was literally to tell us that we’ve been binned, she begs him to save the world. Pretty deep stuff, yet I always find sci-fi a little silly.

This movie has a fair share of suspense and intrigue definitely. The idea that our Earth has been monitored by larger civilizations in the universe is truly a cool subject matter in sci-fi. Then again, this story is a little – I dunno – simple. Well, okay, maybe I’m used to the twist and turns and shocking revelations in most of the current movies.

Nonetheless, bearing in mind that it’s actually a remake of a film in the 1950s, I must say this film is pretty cool. And as far as it goes, it’s does make a good weekend film to chill out on.

Genre: Cartoon comedy.

Okay, so it’s this little ordinary bee called Barry right. He does everything a bee does. After graduating from bee college, Barry is due to enter the hive’s Honex Industries honey-making workforce. However, Barry discovers a nonconformist in himself and ends up travelling outside the hive when he wasn’t supposed to do so. Cue Vanessa Bloome, whom he meets and befriends – but here’s the shocker: SHE A HUMAN! And things get really interesting as he sues the human race for stealing honey!

As you can see from the very much abridged synopsis this movie is très, très funny. There’s just so many stuff I want to add. But at the risk of spoiling the gags, I had to cut off and get to the main plot. Being a brilliant veteran in comedy, Jerry Seinfeld makes sure this animated film will tickle everyone’s funny bone – old, young; male, female; rich, poor; homosexual transvestite, animal rapist etc…

You might say: “bah humbug, everyone says it’s funny – I’ll be the judge of that.” Well, I say: “don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it!” Not to mention the various celebrity cameos – apart from those listed above, other cameo appearances include: Chris Rock, Megan Mullally, Ray Liotta, Sting, Larry Miller and Michael Richards. A perfect all-star cast. It’s a truly enjoyable film and I have no idea what sorts of demons possess those who think otherwise.

BONUS (sourced by Wikipedia /wIkIpi:dIə/):
The movie contains several references to film classics. For instance, the scene in which Barry is floating in a pool of honey, while his parents ask him what his plans for the future are, is a direct reference to The Graduate in which Dustin Hoffman in a swimming pool faces the same questions from his parents. The scenes in the plane are very much like the scenes in Airplane!, including the line: "Does anyone know how to fly a plane?". A scene where Barry is trying to chase a honey truck has Barry mimicking movements of Harrison Ford in Raiders of the Lost Ark. When Ray Liotta is at the stand in court, Barry says, "This isn't a good fella. This is a bad fella!", referring to Liotta's role in Goodfellas. In the courtroom Mr. Montgomery is reading The Secret Life of Bees. Winnie The Pooh can be seen with Piglet as Pooh is tranquilized and his honey (spelled "Hunny") is confiscated. When Barry questions the owner of Honey Farms (the honey company in the movie), it appears that the owner also owns the fictious companies "HonRon" and "Honeyburton". which parodies Enron and Halliburton. Vincent The Bear of Over the Hedge made a cameo but with no voice. It also contains a reference to George Lucas' company THX. Sting makes a cameo appearance- he is accused of 'casually stealing bee culture'- referring to his stage name "Sting", and is also noted that he isn't a policeman, either. When it is time to shut down honey production, the plant supervisor instructs one of his underlings with the statement "Turn your key sir!" - this is reference to "Sir, we are at launch, turn your key! Turn your key, sir!" from the movie WarGames.
The scene where Barry and Vanessa continually slap each other and repeatedly state "Snap out of it", bears a striking similarity to an episode of The Adventures of Lano and Woodley "Tonight you die" where Australian comedians Colin Lane and Frank Woodley do exactly the same thing[1]. Near the end of the film, a flight controller in the JFK Airport control tower exclaims he is "kuckoo-ka-choo", in response to the bees' pulsating flower. Barry's parents are watching BeeNN, a direct parody of CNN.

As Seen on The Simpsons No.17 – Milhouse van Houten

2009-02-20T22:38:00.000-08:00

Even my all-seeing Simpsons eye can’t properly tell how much of a chicken wuss Milhouse is. And when a chicken wuss is put together with an all-evil smart-aleck, you know you’re gonna end up with one bombastic duo.

Yes, Milhouse is Bart’s best friend. But the way I see it, best friends are overrated – and I’m sure Bart would agree. Milhouse is never treated respectfully by anyone. But who could blame him? He’s been shit-lucked since the beginning.

Torn between separated parents, afraid of everything that moves and befriending the most conniving minor in Springfield has brought a maelstrom of trouble to Milhouse. I guess one way to put it is: he destined to be noted in history books as the Mill that will never be a House.

…get it??? Neither did I – it wasn’t my joke.

A Critically Acclaimed Story Based in Mumbai

Rating: US [R]; UK [15]; CA [14A]; AU [MA15+]; JP [R-15]; TW [輔]; IAR [15-CMV]
Genre: Drama. Based on the novel Q & A by Vikas Swarup.

Okay, the story is complicated and extensive detail-wise. However, the main plot of the film is simple: kid grows up in slums, kid meets girl who also grows up in slum, they go through troubled times, kid grows up and looses girl, kid goes on a game show so that he could keep in touch with girl.

Well, this film is definitely a hit. Not only because of the strong, candid depiction of the slums in 80’s Mumbai – but also for the touching story of a boy whose love for a lifelong friend takes him through a poignant struggle of growing up in the slums and unrelenting searching.

I loved Dev Patel in the UK series Skins (which incidentally I have mentioned in this blog) and his performance in Slumdog Millionaire is pretty awesome. And yes, the film is captivating, no doubt about it. I truly suggest this film to everyone.

As a response to all your constructive (and sometimes destructive) comments on my current blog, I have decided to start a second blog which will be for invited members only*. To those of you who said my current blog was a little too repetitive and dull, I hope this newly-improved, highly-supplemented, and grossly-unnecessary blog is the answer to your inevitably-noisy, exceptionally-annoyed, and pathetically-exaggerated prayers.

BryanXtra.blogspot.com does already exist at this very moment, however, it’s in its infancy and still requires plenty of nurturing. So I hope all of you will be patient and I shall keep all of you informed. be

Pour réponse à tous vos commentaires positivistes (et parfois négatifs) à propos de ma blog actuel, j’ai décidée pour commencer une deuxième blog. Pour celles-là qui dire ma blog actuel est un peu plus récurrent et ennuyants, j’espéré cette blog nouveaux-améliorer, très-supplémentaire, et gros-non nécessaire est la solution pour vos prières inévitablement-bruyant, exceptionnellement-agacé, et touchant-exagérer.
GetBryanated peut continuer comme d’habitude – mais vous peut-être voyez un léger ralentissement dans les postes parce que je veux préparer pour mon premier terme d’école qui début à 16ème Février.

As Seen on The Simpsons No.16 – Rod and Todd Flanders

2009-01-23T00:09:00.000-08:00

Ahhhh~ The children of the corn. They look innocent, almost angelic, and they have the sweetest, cutest most adorable voice ever – BUT, as the saying goes: mad dogs don’t bark! As far as I’m concerned, they look shockingly scary and I believe they are sadistic, demonic and demented.

Then again, you’d think they look cute don’t you? Always breaking into song right after their father says something which has diddelly, or doodlely or whatever shit he always adds in the end of his sentences.

They aren’t many episodes where Rod and Todd appear in the main story. So there’s just so much I could write about them – but just you wait I’ll continue my research on this very disturbing duo.

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Sadie always longed to marry the man she loved in her family church. After accepting her lifetime companion, Ben’s proposal, she is distraught to find that there’s only one slot at St. Augustine’s – and worse, it’s three weeks away! But worst, the couple must submit to the reverend’s unique course in which the couple will irritate each other until the feeling of puppy love is gone and what’s left is a sound relationship.

Talking about a funny comedian, Robin Williams is one of the best comedians alive. This film really cracked me up. For those who like the US version of The Office, you might find John Krazinsky a familiar face – yes he plays one of the lead roles in the HBO comedy series – but I have no idea who is his character because I don’t watch it.

So what makes this comedy a good choice for a weekend kickback film? Well for one: it is very funny. And two: Robin blimmin’ Williams is in it – it’s gotta be a good film… owh, except for Jumanji – Ewww… *Gag*

P.S. If I had a DVD of the film, I would playback the scene of the creepy robo-babies over-and-over again. It’s hysterical! I wonder if it’s been uploaded on YouTube.

Rating: US [R]; UK [15]; CA [18A]; AU [M]; JP [R-18]; TW [輔]; IAR [15-DLMS]
Genre: Comedy. Inspired by actual events.

The film tracks the escapade of Sidney Young, a smalltime, bumbling, aspiring British celebrity journalist who is hired by an upscale magazine in New York City. In one of his high-time stints, Sidney catches the attention of Clayton Harding, editor of Sharps magazine, and accepts a job with the magazine in New York City. Clayton warns Sidney that he'd better charm everyone he can, if he wants to succeed. Instead, Sidney instantly does the opposite by spoiling everything in his way – from accidentally murdering a celebrity’s pet Chihuahua under his care to hiring a stripper to dance for his direct boss during a staff meeting.

When they say that this film is the funniest comedy of the year, it sounds like a stretch. However, what I’ll give is the fact that it is terribly funny – every silly mistake Sidney manages to coop out of his twisted mind will tickle every funny bone in your body. It may get kinda vulgar and explicit on some scenes, but it all does to good, witty comedy.

Like I said this film can be strong – so do expect nudity and some drugs and tons of swearing. Then again, if you’re like me and loves a good comedy (and won’t get easily offended by superfluously unnecessary obscenities) then this is something you would enjoy.

Singapore National Museum Visit

2009-01-10T04:51:00.000-08:00

One of my most proud excursions while in Singapore was visiting the Singapore National Museum. It was about 3pm and I flagged a Silvercab on Trengganu Street in Chinatown. The taxi ride took about 15 minutes and it cost SGD5.40. Sorry I didn’t take any “good” pictures of the place because it was a little random and it wasn’t what I’ve planned to do so.

The main goal there was to look at the Voom Potraits Exhibit (2nd poster l-r on escalator photo). It’s really cool because all the portraits are 3D HD roll-over clips with realistic (but obviously artificial) CGI alterations. Again, sorry I didn’t take any pictures of those – actually I really regret not doing so too.

At the same time I took the opportunity to watch the Doubleness Exhibit (3rd poster l-r on escalator photo) – a candid and slightly disturbing look into the life of Chinese immigrants in many different countries during the earlier 1900s.

Also, there’s the very cool Weapons of Mass Desire Exhibit (1st poster l-r on escalator photo) – very cool compilation of upscale “must have” items back in the 1940s-70s.

Note: Exhibit photos are of the Doubleness Exhibit by Chang Chien-Chi. Other photos included are of the interior of the Singapore National Museum.

Mmm... Gummi... "DROOL"

2009-01-10T04:45:00.001-08:00

I have no idea what got into me but I “heart” gummi candy! So much so that I bought myself a whole bag of gummi candy when I was in Singapore recently. The taste, the chewiness, the gumminess – it’s so irresistible. I just wanna take a few and pop them into my mouth right now – or rather, enjoy each and everyone by chewing on them one-by-one.

The original variation –Gummi Bears by the German brand, Trolli.

A Healthy variety by the Natural Confectionary Company – Forbidden Fruit Selection.

Another healthy choice by TNCC – Sports Mix Selection.

Genre: Action

Frank Martin has been pressured into transporting Valentina, the kidnapped daughter of Leonid Vasilev, through the use of a device attached to his wrist which will explode if Frank goes more than 75 feet from his car. He must travel from Marseilles through Stuttgart and Budapest until he ends up in Odessa near the Black Sea. With the help of Inspector Tarconi, Frank must contend with the people who strong-armed him into taking the job, agents sent by the Ukraine government to intercept him, and the general non-cooperation of his passenger.

God I love the car chase scenes in all three Transporter installments. Once again, Frank drives an awesome Audi A8 W12 that just makes your blood boil with excitement. Although we were already drawn by the BMW 735i he drove in the first Transporter film, this time around, perfection has been marked-up a notch. And not to mention the hot Ukrainian chick played by Natalya Rudakova whom he drives around – beats Shu Qi and the lil’ kid (whatever was his name again) in earlier installments.

What can I say, I watch the movie for its action-packed scenes. It’s really awesome! Sadly, this film has received a mixed response from professional critics and those who have no idea what they are talking about. But to those who say it sucks, I say “Bah!” – I enjoyed it, so eff the rest.

As Seen on The Simpsons No.15 – Homer Simpson Revisited

2008-12-21T23:24:00.000-08:00

Well after massive demand, I’ve decided to make a second post on a Simpson’s character. I know, I know, this is an unprecedented feat, but it goes to show how popular this fat, overeating moron can be.

Where can I start? Have I mentioned his love for donuts? Buzz Cola? Duff Beer? Things that look edible? Covered that. Homer also likes riding teacups apparently, and he likes chilli, he loves nacho – but so does every fat guy in the cartoon series including Comic Book Guy (Hmm, Comic Book Guy would make a good edition on my future post…).

On top of that, Homer Simpson is pretty bad at a lot of things. He can hardly change the oil to Marge’s car without draining the brake fluid. He can’t fix the roof without causing more collateral damage. And finally, he tried to brew unlicensed, illegal moonshine in his basement but which lasted for a short while before the makeshift distillery exploded.

Jerry Shaw is a Stanford University dropout. He lacks direction, motivation and determination. One day, he finds out his twin brother, Ethan, has died in a car accident. Following the funeral, Jerry discovers strange things happening to him; his ATM account has a $750,000 deposit from unknown sources. When he returns home, he discovers a massive amount of terrorist weapons littered around his apartment. It then gradually turns out that a cyber-terrorism act is underway.

I have anticipated this film for a very long time. As soon as I bought the DVD, I was watching it three hours later. I really love the fast-paced action, the twist and turns, WOW! It was pretty breathtaking, and the fact that technology has come to an age where they can make their own decisions, it’s only a matter of time before they take over.

Shia was really immaculate in Disturbia, and this time around, Eagle Eye is just an achievement above the first. I must say, Caruso didn’t overdo the violence, but he allowed just the perfect balance of thrill and action. There’re also notes of emotion and dry wit occasionally, which makes the film so much more entertaining. Simply a must watch!

2008-12-14T08:40:00.000-08:00

The preachy but sometimes cynical church minister of Springfield, Reverend Lovejoy may seem like the perfect minister in a town that really wants nothing to do with religion.

Well yea, you could say there’s nothing much to write about the reverend. But I think every major and supporting character requires a good, respectable mention. Besides, it’s definitely what a Simpson’s fan would want.

He may seem like the god-fearing type. But don’t get me wrong, he is no Ned Flanders – in fact, he thinks Ned is very annoying. (Yay! Reverend!!!) All-in-all, Reverend Lovejoy is a dependable character, unlike a lot of Springfieldians, he can actually be count on. Somewhat like Groundskeeper Willie, except – cleaner…

Genre: Sci-Fi Thriller/Horror.

In 2057, the failure of the Earth's Sun threatens life on the planet, compelling humanity to send a spacecraft that carries a payload intended to re-ignite it. The first spacecraft with the payload, the Icarus I, was lost seven years previously for reasons unknown, having failed in its mission. A second spacecraft with a new payload, the Icarus II, is sent to the sun in a final attempt due to all fissile materials on earth having been mined for the payload.

Little did the crew know, things are about to turn horribly awry when they discover the distress signal emitted by Icarus I 7 years ago. As the crew takes a calculated risk in approaching the failed spacecraft, it seems, the commander of the preceding mission, Pinbacker, has survived for the entire time – and he wants to sabotage Icarus II.

For a sci-fi movie, Sunshine is pretty good. I mean, again, I only write reviews of films that I like, so with this it’s obvious that I enjoyed watching Sunshine to a large extend. However, like most sci-fi movies, this film has a note of ambiguity in it – because it is set in the future, it is sometimes hard to relate with their situation.

However, the producers have made it very realistic and you can really understand the situation the crew is in. It is also heartening to see them accepting the fact that they can only afford to finish the mission – but not to return. On top of that, there’s plenty of action, thrills and chills abound in the film. Plus, the best part is when it all builds up to a heart-stopping end.

As Seen on The Simpsons 13: Edna Krabappel

2008-12-07T03:43:00.000-08:00

Edna K. by any other name would sound as horrid – yes, I’m talking about the devil-may-care teacher whose horns are as sharp as a Spanish bull’s. Yep, she’s bad, naughty and everything in between. Her wicked bitch-esque attitude is strangely what attracts Principal Skinner to her. I guess being with an over controlling mother does that to you – but that’s not the case at hand now.

Back to Krabappel, oh… what can I say about her??? Owww, I know. A pretentious, iniquitous, immoral, impudent figure, totally not suitable to be a teacher in realistic standards. What’s funny about her is that apart from Skinner, she is Bart’s second choice in his inconsiderate school-time stints. Which makes her and Skinner up to Bart’s skin all the time. How can you find a more suitable couple?

I just hope she’s not my teacher… oh wait… I finished school! Bah!
Rephrase: I hope she’s not my lecturer pmsl.

Consider the Following № 6 – What were YOU doing when you were 2?

2008-12-02T23:32:00.000-08:00

This video is pretty awesome! Introducing Lilly… at only 2 and a half, Lilly can memorize more than 100 countries. No kidding!

It took me until 6 to know which continent Russia is in and I was 8 before I could memorize all the states in The USA. But at a mere age of 2, Lilly can tell you where to find countries like Fiji, Cote D’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Germany, Paraguay, even Turkmenistan – just to name a few.

Being a geography freak myself, I was really amazed by Lilly’s ability to memorize all the different countries at such a young age. Hopefully this video will allow you to start thinking about your interests. It’s never too late to pick up something new.

The prologue of the film shows a young Max Skinner spending summer holidays in his uncle’s estate in Provence. As an adult, Max is a ruthless, selfish and egotistical person. When he receives word that he has inherited his uncle’s vineyard, he flies to France in a hasty bid to sell the land as fast as possible. However, as he reached there, he discovered that he was suspended for a major stint he did at work – giving time for him to lay back in the French countryside and mellow with the locals. That is when things turn complicated for him and the estate.

This movie is hilarious in the sense that the language is brilliantly written. Max is also portrayed as a self-centered, devil-may-care figure. Expect lots of hilarious situations and witty use of pervasive language. Gemma, Max’s PA, played by Archie Panjabi, is my favourite character as she takes every opportunity to annoy Max she could manage.

Lots of people would find this a terrific comedy. It’s artsy, moderately intense, and also very meaningful. What else is there to say? (Don’t answer, it’s rhetorical.)

Genre: Drama. Based on the memoirs by Raimond Gaita.

Based on Raimond Gaita’s powerful memoir of the same name, this poignant film tells the story of Romulus Gaita and his ex-wife Christine in their struggle to face great adversity of raising their son Raimond. As the story progresses, it is evident that Christine was unhappy with Romulus and remarries after leaving him. Romulus on the other hand, has his eyes on a stunningly beautiful lady who ultimately tricks him blind. Hora, a close friend of Romulus ends up playing a major role in Raimond’s life as Romulus faced tough hardship.

The main thing about this story is that the kid in it grows up to be a well-known philosopher and author. Raimond Gaita’s story is awesome, it shows how one boy – plagued by hardship, loss and emotional distress turns out to be a revered member of society. It’s pretty uplifting stuff sure, and the dramatization also adds to the poignancy of the story.

Surely not everyone is a fan of a boring historical drama. I must admit, I do find some films of past events really tedious. Nevertheless, if you sit through the first fifteen minutes of this movie without getting tired of it – you would certainly want to sit through the entire thing.

Genre: Comedy. Based on real events

Young owner of a dwindling shoe factory in traditional Northampton, Charlie Price, goes to London in search of inspiration to save the family business which is on the verge of collapsing. Which was when he meets Lola, who is the alter-ego of Simon, a transvestite. Lola finds Charlie’s factory to be a good opportunity for producing fetish shoes and convinces Charlie to pick up the prospect. With the styling eye of Lola, Charlie was able to produce shoes and have them modeled in Milan. However, the road to success for Charlie was bittersweet, burdened with sexism, disappointment and minor setbacks.

Dedicated to the real Price Boots Co. based in Northampton, this film shows an integral relationship between the employer and his employees as they were faced with the daunting task of rebuilding the image of the shoe factory. Although in due course. This film ends in a favourable ending, it is not without many failures and it shows that what Charlie Price did to save his family business was nothing but brave and genuine.

Again, a story like this may not appeal to everyone, but it is interesting to know that people would go to such lengths to save dying company. Such a story doesn’t happen a lot, and the fact that in ended magnificently for Charlie Price gives a hint of motivation for others to try things that are usually considered silly or sometimes, downright outrageous.

As Seen on The Simpsons 12: Grampa Abraham (Abe) Simpson

2008-11-21T23:22:00.000-08:00

The senile, and not-very-bright-from-the-beginning Abraham Simpson is none other than the father of Homer. Sent to live the rest of his uneventful life at a retirement “castle” (pmsl, retirement “castle”, I think I just wet myself.)

Abraham’s senility and inability to memorize simple tasks, not to mention his ridiculously funny case of narcolepsy (illness of sudden and random sleeping spells), has made him a particularly “typical” Simpson.

He may bore you with stories from his army days, or mumbling some quirky gibberish in his sleep, or even disgust the hell outta you with his unrivalled “oldness”. All-in-all, he is still a noteworthy character in The Simpsons.

Jack, a young man who has just been released from prison after being incarcerated for a tremendously horrible crime committed when he was a young boy.

The ghost of his past was released to the public. Jack tries to escape from his violent past – and the enraged public.

This film is strong – I mean… VERY strong. Expect swearing schoolchildren and some pretty upsetting scenes. I’m always afraid of films produced by Film Four – they tend to be inconsiderately intense – so intense, it sometimes really captivates the audience by appalling them to the verge of nausea. Don’t get me wrong, this is a superb production. I do like most movies by Film Four, namely, The Last King of Scotland, of which I have also reviewed in an earlier post.

It’s a pretty powerful movie, very down to earth, immensely emotional. This makes a very good drama for a Saturday night movie definitely – popcorn and all.

OMFG!!! That stands for Oh My Fucking Godfathers btw. It's been two weeks into our SPMs and it's going like hell. The worst subjects has past.... and yes, it was eff-ing tough!

Well next week, the subjects are Bio, Physics and lastly, EST... which is technically bullshit! But it's easier than most of the other subjects though. LOL, look at me ranting about an exam - in fact it's not really ranting per se, much more of a string of BS.

Anyways, just thought it be interesting to plan things to do after the end of SPM. I have no ideas yet, but i think i'll be going pretty nuts after all this crap has past.

The film takes place 408 years into a post-apocalyptic future, after a virus has wiped out ninety-nine percent of the Earth's population in 2011. The survivors inhabit Bregna, a walled city-state, which is ruled by a congress of scientists. Æon Flux is an assassin-member of the 'Monicans', an underground rebel organization who communicate telepathically through use of pills, led by The Handler.

When Æon is sent on a mission to kill the government's leader, Trevor Goodchild she discovers that she is unwittingly playing a part in a secret coup. One of Trevor's experiments is successful but Oren Goodchild, Trevor's brother, destroys the research in an attempt to stay in power and live forever. However, in a confrontation with Trevor and Æon, Oren reveals that humanity itself has adapted and some people have regained the ability to have babies on their own.

I have no idea why it took me so long before I thought of writing this post. This is a great film, it’s definitely worth buying the DVD for. What I like most about it is the plot which complicates as the story unveils. The dystopian future depicted in the film allows the viewer to understand the troubles the people of Bregna are going through and the desperation they harbor. It’s definitely a classic (as far as I’m concerned).

Genre: Thriller/Mystery. Based on the novel by Patrick Süskind

Set in the 18th century, the film begins with the sentencing of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, a convicted murderer. Between the reading of the sentence and the execution, the story of his life is told in flashback, beginning with his birth in a French fish market and continuing through his early childhood, when he discovers he possesses an extraordinary sense of smell and none of his own smell at all. His dedication to the idea of preserving her scent leads him to a perfumer who teaches Grenouille the art of creating scents. As he learns to preserve scents, Grenouille begans an obsessive journey into murdering virgins for the sole purpose of preserving their scent. As such, this leads to the manifestation of a remarkably overpowering perfume.

It’s hard to put a label on this film. To say that it is remarkable is only an understatement. This film brilliantly captures the soul of the viewer with its outstandingly crude and shocking images. The story is pretty straightforward; not much guessing is required throughout the entire film – which makes this mystery thriller rather simple (to an extent).

However, as it lacks in a way, it makes up in another. The images can get pretty grotesque and erotically revolting at some parts. It’s definitely not a family movie and popcorn won’t go down your gullet easy with this film on the reel. I truly recommend this film to anyone who loves a great mystery but won’t mind the bloodcurdling scenes. Horror buffs will be disappointed though; because frankly, this ain’t a horror flick to say the least, it’s more of a sickly bizarre thriller that has some spine tingling suspense.

Being ambitious to be a guest on the Oprah show and falling for the manager of a Canadian hockey team, Pitka makes a shortcut and ends up in more trouble than he would have anticipated.

This film is really funny! I can recall the funny jokes and innuendo that will make you just laugh out loud. From Intimacy (Into-me-i-see) to If You're Happy and You Know It, Think Again. You just can stop laffing at the constant unstoppable hilarity.

This film also have its great share of cameos, including Mariska Hargitay (which is also used as a greeting in the show - you'll get what i mean when you watch it), Kanye West, Morgan Freeman's voice, Val Kilmer and even Jessica Simpson. A definite must-watch for those who love crude, language humour.

Getting Used to Four Wheels

2008-10-05T00:05:00.000-07:00

Finally now that I'm starting to get used to driving. I think I'm beginning to get more freedom that I really wanted for quite a long time now. Not being able to drive yet seeing my friends drive was made me pretty envious - well no, actually, i was just angry that they can and i can't. LOL XP

So with my Probationary license now, I guess there's a responsibility to live up to. It requires a great deal of concentration which I tend to lack at times.

Well then... I guess that's all about my first days of driving. There's more to come - hopefully.

An Extra Stroke A Day

2008-09-28T17:18:00.001-07:00

For those who are very excited that about this post after reading the title: Please be aware that this has nothing to do with any smart remarks or discussions about strokes or brain aneurysms as they are professionally named and with that, also has nothing to do with any form of intelligent banter or insight.

Suppose you were surfing the net and typing your website into the search field. So it goes something like www.someirreleventwebsitename – and then, the domain – if it’s an internationally based website, it’s .com, .net, or .org. But if you’re typing a locally based website in UK, it’s .co.uk; in Korea, .co.kr. Or even in Malaysia, it’s .com.my!!!

Don’t get my point yet? If you’re answer is “no” that question, read the title of this post 10 times and come back. If you still don’t get it, read it again 20 times… 30, 40, 50… until you get what I’m trying to say here.

Now, what is wrong with the world?!! The domains is other countries have much shorter names. France is .fr, Germany is .de, Netherlands is .nl, Switzerland is .ch, and South Africa is .za. .com.my is an extra four strokes! I’m surprised no one has got an aneurysm after all that extra typing.

Okay, so where am I now? Right, all’s I’m saying is that people should cut the com and just put in .my – is that too much to ask?

For those who think that I’ve wasted your time: What did I tell you in first paragraph???

The Worst Has Passed

2008-09-25T23:02:00.000-07:00

Yay! I finally passed my driving test – BUT AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS!!! God… how much of a loser do I look like. Well, then again I’m just glad off my pants that I finally passed. Failing for a third time would be unimaginable. I would not be able to comprehend the mere reality of it if I were going to fail again.

But all that has past, and though it still feels a little surreal – maybe because of all the anxiety and pressure and what not’s. In less than a week, I’ll receive my P-License and be able to drive freely. My mom is still kinda nervous about me driving. But I think with the addition of my P-License, it would be more reassuring for her.

So, that’s that. I’ll come back with more info about my first independent drive. I’m pretty excited about that, feeling quite confident about it too. Well, till then…

Consider the Following № 4 – Locolombia [CAUTION]

2008-09-19T20:54:00.000-07:00

Disclaimer: Please be aware that this post deals with subject matter that may cause discomfort.

The locals call it “Locolombia”, in other words, “Crazy Colombia”. Yes, yes… home of drug lords, trigger happy guerrillas and bloody violence. It is also a place where French Red Cross volunteer, Ingrid Betancourt was held hostage by the FARC. Also, it’s where successful artists, Shakira and Juanes originated from.

For those who have no idea where is Colombia, have a good look at the map above and say “Ahhhh…” – Good.
It didn’t occur to me how twisted was this country until I watched a documentary series called “Don’t Tell My Mother” by Canal+. In the series, host, Diego Buñuel, goes to torn countries and explore the real story behind the iron curtain. And after this episode, I was taken by the stark madness in this South American nation.

Cocaine is one of Colombia’s largest commodities. Every snort of coke you take would have an 80% chance of originating in Colombia’s cocaine fields.

Undoubtedly a country marred by the power of man, homosexuality is undoubtedly frowned upon. However, for one day in a year, the nation’s gay population crawls out of anonymity in a large, over-the-top, Gay Pride Parade. Get this… Gay Pride! Imagine, something I thought was only seen in cities like London, New York, Montreal, Melbourne and of course San Francisco – but… Medellin, Colombia?!!!

Don’t Tell My Mother is available on National Geographic Channel: Mondays [10pm SIN/HK, -1 THAI/WIB, +1 SEOUL] (other times apply depending on your region)

What starts out as the irreverent journey of the openly gay writer Truman Capote to the middle-class world of 1950's Kansas, where he goes -- with his childhood friend Harper Lee -- to research the murder of the Clutter family, turns to something altogether darker when Capote forms an intense and complex relationship with one of the murderers. In doing so, he produced his greatest work, 'In Cold Blood,' but at a devastating personal cost.

I started typing this post soon after I finished watching the film – well, after having dinner, but you get the picture. Getting to the point, this film really got me attached at the first moment.

I would say that Daniel Craig, playing Perry Smith, is much better an actor compared to James Bond in Casino Royale. Indeed, he has a wide spectrum. Acting as a disturbed and largely cynical mass murderer, he can really put an overwhelming façade. And Lee Pace is pretty brilliant too, the Pushing Daisies star looks very convincing as a maroon that has given up on life and ends up being Perry’s accomplice.

Also… look up

Title: In Cold Blood (1967)
Genre: Drama (Based on real events)

This film on the other hand, emphasizes on the investigation and the effect of the slaughters to the small community. I must admit, I haven’t actually watched this film – but after reading the synopsis, I would suggest people to check it out.

This story in all its surreal reality is incredibly awesome due to the emotional magnitude of it. The act itself, the motivation and sequence of events that lead to the act, the trial, the mindset of the culprits, and of course, the penultimate finale, the sentence. I really think both these films are a must watch, with all its poignancy, it is truly worthwhile.

Matt, a young glaciologist, soars across the vast, silent, icebound immensities of the South Pole as he recalls his love affair with Lisa. They meet at a mobbed rock concert in a vast music hall -- London's Brixton Academy. They are in bed at night's end. Together, over a period of several months, they pursue a mutual sexual passion whose inevitable stages (familiar to anyone who's ever been in love) unfold in counterpoint to nine live-concert songs.

This film may as well be one of the most controversially produced films so far. It comes in two versions, the original – which contains graphically explicit non-simulated sex scenes with real, non-simulated oral sex, intercourse and ejaculation (or so I’ve been told). Many critics have dubbed it as pornography in disguise. In the edited version, all of that is wiped out and audiences are able to grasp the main message of the movie.

It has caused a major stir during their international (but limited) release of the original version. In UK, where it was produced, the BBFC originally smacked an R-18 rating on it, effectively dubbing it as pornography. But after an adjustment, the rating was downgraded to 18. In US and Canada, it was undisputedly slapped with the maximum NC-17 and R ratings respectively. It was initially refused licensing in Australia – after an appeal, it was then given the highest, X18+ rating which was later downgraded to R18+.

Why am I Smoking YOUR Cigarette?!!! [EXPLICIT]

2008-09-13T20:03:00.000-07:00

Disclaimer: This post includes very strong language throughout and references to drug use.

Smoking in public really gets to me all the time. Yet, I have no idea why I didn’t rant about this in my blog any sooner. Why did it have to take a directed writing question in my English SPMs to prompt me to write about stupid irresponsible smokers blowing out a mephitic mushroom cloud of jet fuel, carcinogens and rat poison?

Alright, straight to the point: how can people be so unintelligent? Smoking does no good to your body man! Or in Hippish (you can see how sarcastic I am about this): Hey maaaaayyynnn~ hitting the bong is bad for yooooo~ Ya gotta reducize maaaayynnn~ (before you say reducize isn’t a fucking word – SHUT UP!) And for those who respond more to Sluttian: Oi! You old mother-fucking sod, Y-O-U noe hoe day-in-jee-rus sucking a fag is?! I noe! En it maeks aye mez in yer mouth!!!
Yes, those were very good examples, courtesy of Colmee Dufus and Aima Bitch. But I think Aima Bitch wasn’t really paying attention to what I was talking about.

Right, where was I again? … Oh yes. The act of smoking is already largely frowned upon by those who have a conscience for one’s health – in other words, those of a more superior mindset. Seriously, blowing smoke rings is NOT cool! Unless, you can blow smoke rings from down under (and I don’t mean Australia); maybe then, shall I give you P.T. Barnum’s phone number.

Whoever thought smoking has a calming effect is right to a certain extend. However, it is obvious said person has no idea that the glorious world of medicine has came up with better, safer drugs such as Valium, Prozac, Xanax, paint thinner, and of course Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD). For those of you who love to smoke in toilets, please… I beg of you… you are making a place that already smells like shit stink even more like shit!

Finally, for those who think smoking bags the chicks: the simple answer is “Frankly, it doesn’t.” But the answer that gets the message going would be “You think a chick would like to smell your breath? Huh- Huh?! You think a chick would want to see those teeth falling apart like it came out from The Pirates of the Caribbean?! You think a chick would wanna be poked by a 30 year-old with wrinkles around his todger?! If that is your picture of a chick, you have grossly mistaken it with a bimbo! Say it again – B-I-M-B-O – BIM… BO…” There you go.

Please, no e-mails…

As Seen on The Simpsons No.10 – Krusty The Clown

2008-09-13T19:55:00.000-07:00

Krusty may as well be the world’s most pathetic clown. The glorified act of making children happy has made Krusty a real maroon. He may be rich – as we have often seen him lighting a cigarette with a hundred dollar note, or slapping a pie into the face of a wealthy dowager. But he is – in fact, a moron.

Krusty is also, not in the pink of health – rather, he is a dark shade of violet I’d say. He has a pacemaker inside him. He has the most horrid voice a smoker can have. And it seems that all the drinking made his skin snow white and his clown make-up Simpson yellow. I called it Simpson yellow because I’m quite sure you can’t find it anywhere else – except maybe in Futurama, but I like that one-eyed skank.

For a person who makes a living entertaining kids – you’d better bet he hates them cretins. His little faux “Hey Hey!” can turn into a real “Piss off!” just like that. *Snap*

Consider the Following № 3 – Whazzat in North Korea?!

2008-09-13T19:51:00.000-07:00

I’m sure it’s pretty big news that the current state leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Kim Jong-Il, who is already Mentally-Il is now, or course, Seriously-Il.

Now, I must admit, I don’t really care about politics and especially communism or tyranny. But, I really feel like saying something about this lil’ conundrum. This world has seen many psychotic mass murderers. Such as, Idiot Amin, super-paranoid ex-President of Uganda who have single-handedly ordered the massacre of hundreds of thousands of people, Saddam Who-Slain, executed Iraqi tyrant and of course Mahmud I’m-a-nut-job, the Iranian homophobic faggot.

Now, with the demise of Terminally-Il almost undoubtedly at hand, the question is – will North Korea see a better future? I mean, if someone has to strip to his underwear and crawl his way under a series of high tension electric fences to get out of the country (if you don’t understand what I’m talking about, watch Inside – Undercover in North Korea on NatGeo), then I doubt the people in their so-called “wonderland” will see a better future.

A seemingly underachieving sod, Wesley Gibson, is confronted by a lady in a pharmacy. The lady saves him from an unexpected gunman and brings him to a place where he was told to shoot the wings off a fly. Wesley wakes up the next day hoping everything was a dream, but discovers his father's gun (which he stashes in the toilet tank), and that he has $3.6 million in his bank account. Turns out, Wesley’s father belongs to a fraternity of highly skilled assassins and it’s now his turn to takeover.

I’ve been waiting to watch this film since rumours of it came alight in the beginning of 2008. It may as well be my most anticipated film of the year. After watching it, I must say, there is no eff-ing doubt that I’m gonna take that back.

Generally, one could say it’s another cocked up action film with all the blood, gore and swearing than could make Gordon Ramsey curl in disgust. But it’s more than that, in the sense that one man – a one femtogramme (fg) speck of the human race – can harness the innate potential in himself and become untouchable.

All the split-second action will keep you on the edge of your seat. I mean the theme is so intense and overwhelming that you’ll be distracted by the shear speed of the film and forget the main idea of it all. It’s definitely a generously action-packed film that should not be missed.

As Seen on The Simpsons No. 9: Moe Syzlak

2008-09-05T18:21:00.000-07:00

If grew up an orphan, never cared for, never needed, never loved and never noticed. Then, chances are, you’re the perfect Moe Syzlak. Moe owns Moe’s Tavern, the bar where Homer frequents with his pals, and it’s also where you’ll be most likely to meet Barney – the fat, stinky, pack of human fat that is no more than an abomination of the human race.

More about Moe, his bleak, unloved self not only makes him a pitiable sod, but also turns him into a pathetically funny character. Sometimes you’ll just have to laugh at how he talks about his life and think “man, if there is a person like this on Earth, I would have put a bullet in him and end his misery.”

Another hilarious facet of Moe is the prank calls that comes to him every once in awhile. Bart is usually the prime suspect. Following are some classical prank calls that I could remember well.

“Is there an Ivana Tinkle here? Hello? Ivana Tinkle! Ivana Tinkle here? Somebody? Ivana Tinkle!!?”

“Al Coholic?”

“Seymour Butts?”

“Homer Sexual?”

Weird Stuff on The Graham Norton Show Very Funny [EXPLICIT TV-MA]

DISCLAIMER: Please be aware that the following video includes very strong language, adult themes and potentially offensive material, thus, may not be suitable for young audiences.

I came upon this really bizarre episode of The Graham Norton Show when i was browsing the BBC channels on YouTube. Goes to show what some people would come out with to "entertain" others. These items are real commercially available products and are not made up by the show. It's totally outta this world! LMAO

For those who've never heard of Graham Norton - he is an Irish comedian hosting his very own ribald chatshow on BBC2. What makes GN better than Jay Leno or Jimmy Kimmel from the other side of the lake is his crude mature humour and slightly leeway topics.

Interested in this show? Then check out The Omid Djalilli Show too!

Check This Out! It's Pilobolus!

2008-08-29T20:43:00.000-07:00

For those of you who've never heard of Pilobolus - you must be staying under a rock or something, either that, or you weren't around when God created intelligence. Once a hardly heard of dance group, Pilobolus reached 2 billion viewers after an amazing performance at this years Academy Awards ceremony in Hollywood, California.

These people can make out shadow pictures of almost anything and everything under the sun!
Though, much of their techniques are quite hush hush, Pilobolus is an astounding performance to witness. You've gotta take out 3 minutes and watch this video carefully - don't let anything else distract you!

As Seen on The Simpsons No. 8 - Apu Nahasapeemapetilon

2008-08-29T18:42:00.000-07:00

Owner of the Kwik-I-Mart, Apu, like any other illegal immigrant in the entire US of A, does it for the money. Being one of his most loyal customers, buying buzz cola, beer, nachos and Playdude magazines, Homer is Apu’s best friend.

It is unsure what in Apu’s blood actually gave him octuplets with Manjela. However, I can’t name any of them either. Think one of them is called Nabeendu – but they’re Indian, go figure.

The Kwik-I-Mart has seen many different happenings in the Simpsons’ fruitful history. From the verge on closing down to turning into a Nude-I-Mart, and with sightings as bizarre as an old frozen man and ground zero of Apu’s very own naughty, naughty affair – it is definitely THE supermart you would want in your town.

Unless you work for the Department of Immigration in which case you might not want to live near people like Apu.

Cum... [WARNING: strong explicit language included]

2008-08-22T17:30:00.002-07:00

DISCLAIMER: At some point you might wanna flag this post.... So I'm telling you - this one ain't for the easily offended. I apologize if u think you're been mentioned here. Honestly, fret none, there's no slurs intended - just humour!!!

So i was thinking: Why "cum"? Such a normal word (which also means with in Latin) is so horridly defaced with the connection to a guy's happy juices. So i'm thinkin... Why not use sumthing different like "blob" or "greb"??? Ya, those sound ruder... imagine "Honey! I'm gonna greeee-eeeb!!!"

Ever wondered we all started from just an egg with mayonaise??? Yea... Mayo... Nice term too. "Oops... there's goes the mayo..."

So alrite... you must be thinking: Wtf is this sod ranting about? Well, it's simple really. Why people use perfectly fine words for something they should keep to themselves? And now... when someone says "cum" in something formal - one can't help but laugh their asses off!

So come to think of it... Don't use cum the next time you... um... cum...
Instead, try glob, or breb... Wait - i think i just messed it up...
No - use blob, or greb... yea - - -

Btw... no e-mails please...

This little miss is so funny i just had to feature her in this post. When asked what is she gonna do if a monster comes up. She says: "I'm gonna kick his ass!"

Another funny but ribald clip. In this one, the lil toddler couldn't pronounce the word "truck" properly - with hilarious circumstances!

Charlie and Harry are frequents on YouTube. They have tens of videos uploaded to date. This one is sooo cute. Especially when Harry says: "Charlie bit me... and it hurts!"

Dreaming of a Dream - The Job I Hope For [Contains strong language]

2008-08-20T01:26:00.000-07:00

SPM is around the corner and the laid-back students are starting to become nerds. Meanwhile, the nerds are starting to overhaul their brains and go haywire. Also, at the same time, the hoodies and gang members use it as an excuse to get high on drugs and masturbate. Such is life, who would have it any other way would be masking himself from reality.

So what do I think about this insubstantial and ill-fated force of nature that makes us study so hard? (Not to mention it has affected me too) Well, it is safe to assume that we all strive to be the best – in fact, I strive to be Владимр Ленин (English version too controversial to add) but that ain’t gonna happen ‘init.

Well if being Lenin is a no-go (oops, I said it…), then I guess I have to go with my second choice. I’ve always loved to be behind the scenes in a film, TV production or radio broadcast. So I guess it is safe to assume that Media Studies is the perfect choice. The smart, but sometimes shallow and thick-headed science geeks that I study with (not mentioning anyone in particular [Honestly! I’m not pointing any fingers!]) wanted to pursue their dreams of being scientists, engineers, doctors and even - - - the occasional hooker (I heard New Zealander law allows the business of the “joyrides” [just a suggestion]).

Thinking about it more may put unneeded pressure on oneself. I guess maybe I’ll just let this little trifle slide and see which side flips up. Or am I thinking about dominoes now???

Coming of Age in a Teen Dystopia [WARNING: video clips contain strong material]

2008-08-19T20:53:00.000-07:00

Title: Skins (UK)
Channel/Studio: E4 (Also available on iTunes and BBC America)
Created by: Jamie Britain & Bryan Elsley
Staring: Nicholas Hoult,

Rating: US [TV-MA], iTunes (UK) [CAUTION], IAR [15-Z]

Skins revolves around the lives of a group of 16–19 year-old friends who live in Bristol. The Dawson Bros claim the series represents the everyday lives of adolescents. These characters attend the fictional Roundview Sixth Form College in Bristol. Each episode has a self-contained theme and focuses on each different character , however there are several story arcs that span different episodes. Accompanying the episode title at the beginning of each episode is a short few second montage of that episode's central character. The show's co-creator Bryan Elsley said that as series 2 ends with the cast going off to university, it won't be possible to keep on following them in the future, the show will operate in two year arcs with new casts.

This series is no doubt very strong, with its brazen swearing and R-rated nudity. Not to mention the extreme but realistic situations the characters go through – from anorexia to sex, drugs to peer pressure. The producers definitely weren’t shy with their writing. To think that such a ground-breaking series is possible, it’s hard to imagine what new series this one would inspire.

As Seen on The Simpsons No.7 – Principal Seymour Skinner

2008-08-19T20:44:00.000-07:00

A veteran who served in Vietnam, Skinner is probably the last person you’d hoped to be your school principal. A stern, no-nonsense attitude makes him relatively feared amongst the naïve school children by incurs the wrath and nuisance of Bart.

With his attention to detail and slightly fascistic actions, Skinner has always been the principal of children’s nightmares. Besides, what makes a funny cartoon funnier? Put in a principal that’s collectively hated. And you’ll get hilarious results.

A huge fan of the smart, gifted and mature (in other words Lisa and no one else), Skinner tries his best to up the standards of Springfield Elementary School. Then again, let’s just say his endeavours are less than futile. Like any other hapless maroon, Skinner has three nemeses, Bart Simpson, Superintendent Chalmers and of course Mrs. Skinner (Mom).

Skinner’s most hilarious quote – “Mother---! I’m a big boy now!!!”

This Group Sure Had A Great Debut

2008-08-19T05:26:00.001-07:00

The Script... Ahh~~ even their name sounds enticing. When i first heard of their single "We Cry" on MTV, i was captured by their urban melody. Their lyrics are no doubt, typical of a pop song, but at the same time more deep and emotional. Suffice to say, it calls out to me and the tune just flows perfectly parallel to the lyircs.

I haven't listened to all their songs from their current self-titled album. But it is safe to assume from their successful singles "We Cry" and "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" that this band is here to stay. Topping the charts in UK and Ireland, this Irish band no pushover.

I couldn't be more satisfied with this years MTV Asia Awards after seeing them play on stage. They may be new - but they are big!

The Joy of White Water Rafting

2008-08-19T00:18:00.000-07:00

Look at the sheer thrill in this active pasttime. I must confess, there's nothing more exhiliarating than that - except for bungee jumping, sky-diving, paragliding, n surfing but eh... they're all great sports. The experience one will get from such a cool, yet potentially fatal (if not performed with competence) activity would appeal so much to me.

Granted, there's not many chances where white-water rafting is freely available here, but it is safe to say that when there's a chance - i'll be sure to take it ASAP! For a person who interested in extreme sports, i must honestly say, you couldn't get any closer to nature's wrath with any other activity.

The fast speeds, the death-defying spins, the cold water. It's damn cool!!!

2008-08-15T22:16:00.000-07:00

Ridiculously pious area man of Springfield, Ned Flanders may as well be Homer’s major pet peeve. His funny, outspoken “didilly” accents can give Homer a stroke. It’s humorous to think a person with such patience would be the target of Homer exploitation – I’ve lost count on how many things Homer has “borrowed” from Flanders and not giving it back.

After Maude’s death, Ned is a little obsessed with his late wife. I’m pretty sure he uses hairspray to retain Maude’s imprint on their bed sheets. Ned’s god-fearing sense is quite something, he doesn’t even dare to say “heck” – rather, he would spell it out like a catholic nun.

My favourite Ned moment would probably have to be in the Fifth season, ages ago. Bart was recovering from a leg injury and suspects Ned for murdering Maude. LOL! That was one ridiculous episode.

Old Film - Great Story

2008-08-15T21:50:00.000-07:00

Title: Gattaca (1997)
Produced by: Columbia Pictures
Country: US
Directed by: Andrew Niccol
Producers: Danny DeVito et al.
Featuring: Ethan Hawke
Uma Thurman
Jude Law
Gore Vidal
Loren Dean
Allan Arkin
Tony Shalhoub
Rating: US [PG-13]; UK [12]; CA [14A]; AU [M]; IAR [12-CMSV]
Genre: Sci-Fi, Drama

Synopsis available on {http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gattaca or http://www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/gattaca/?hs308=email}

This film may be more than a decade all, but then again, I’ve watched it so many times and I can’t help myself but watch it as soon as I have the next chance to do so. Trust me, this film is pretty amazing – the brilliant idea in which the plot and location is conceived is just, let me extract a quote from the film itself “only next to godliness…”!

Although this film is actually quite controversial – considering the time it was released in 1997. Still, it’s the emotional feeling of a future dystopia that makes this film so appealing even after more than 10 years. The bleakness of living with the discrimination between “Valid” and “In-Valid” makes one think about how one would feel under the constant pressure of prejudice and stark bigotry.

Finally, I must mention the cool first-person narration throughout the film. Ethan Hawke’s stoic voice compares properly with the bleak, dystopian theme of the movie and setting. My favourite quote was in the last scene when he says: “For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I found a hard time leaving it…’ Astounding!!!

For those who are interested in a good sci-fi movie, and want a trip back to films of the recent past, you have to get this at your nearest video store! It’s so magnificently plotted and produced that I have to suggest that you check out their official webpage or just look it up on Wikipedia.

As Seen on The Simpsons No. 5 - Homer J. Simpson

2008-08-08T20:49:00.000-07:00

Yes, everyone knows him. The dim-witted, glutton-ridden, absent-minded, mentally-challenged and evolutionarily-abominated fatso is the front man of the longest running cartoon series on Earth.

A real bozo, Homer can’t help himself but get into ridiculous situations with hilarious consequences. He likes Buzz Cola and donuts and beer and other things that makes ones liver turn into porridge. His uproarious and rioting lines keep making people laugh. It’s amazing that so many people didn’t get tired of that stupid and sometimes crude humour.

Homer’s wit is so shallow; it occasionally occurs to me that he might not even have the attention span of a paramecium. But doesn’t it make you think: After all that drinking, doesn’t the liver just… I dunno… GIVE UP?!

Above all, what I like most about him is his bellyaching catchphrases. “D’oh!”, “I am evil Homer,’ and ‘Ahh! I swallowed my gum!”

As Seen on The Simpsons No. 4 - Maggie Simpson

2008-07-31T22:50:00.000-07:00

Not to be taken lightly, Maggie Simpson may be the youngest Simpson. Nonetheless, she is a smart, bright and fun-loving toddler. She can't live without her pacifier - and she has a particular taste for dangerous toys. (see above)

Maggie was also once thought to be a genius... But those who watched that episode would find out what actually happened. It was apparent that her sister Lisa had gave her implicit answers that led to her apparent briliance.

Eventhough looking vulnerable and small, Maggie Simpson is a force to be reckoned with. Along with her archenemy, the "baby with the uni-brow", they can really come up with a spat. Now that we have covered almost all of the Simpson's family, i'm sure you know who's coming up next...

See you next entry!

As Seen on The Simpsons No. 3 - Lisa Simpson

2008-07-26T02:06:00.000-07:00

Smart and brilliant Lisa Simpson. She's the odd one out in the family of five. A natural genius and saxophone prodigy, Lisa has high hopes to enter an Ivy League college. She'll not let anything stop her from reaching her target.

But Lisa has her weaknesses, like any other girl, she is nuts for Malibu Stacey dolls. Her collection includes, Malibu Stacey Convertible, Malibu Stacey pullstring doll, Malibu Stacey two-way radio, Malibu Stacey key chain...

Unlike the other Simpsons, Lisa seems to be the one with some sensibility in her. Compared to Homer or Bart, she world's apart with them. Her idols include Bleeding Gum Murphy, jazz saxophonist, deceased since the fifth season.

Consider the Following № 2

2008-07-26T01:45:00.000-07:00

Who’s dominating the airwaves nowadays aye? There are a few notable female artists out there – so to speak. So, who is the best of them all? The Welsh bird who sings about having not enough mercy? The Latino trash who sings about sheltering a fag under her “parasol”? Or even the fat cow who sings about her hometown, London?

Well, one thing’s for sure – all that nasty language aside, Duffy, Adele and Rihanna are great singers. The problem I’m thinking about is: Who’s better than whom? Alright, Duffy has her old town charm with a slight 70’s influence. She’s good, her songs are appealing – but why so much influence from an era before she was even born?

Don’t get me started with Rihanna. That “parasol” song is pretty annoying, after all that airtime, it makes me wonder what makes it so cool. Hmm, Makes Me Wonder, now that’s a good song. But we’ll talk about that some other time. Nonetheless, don’t get me wrong, Rihanna has another song up her sleeve – and that’s No Air…Oh wait, that’s by someone else by the name of Sporks? Spoiks? Spark Plugs? DKDC. Wait a minute… Owh right! It’s Disturbia – now that’s a catchy tune alright; a very, very cool track!

“Round my hometown
Memories are fresh.”
Hometown Glory by Adele is a magnificently well composed song. The melody is melancholic, but you’ll feel much uplifted by it too. She’s got really nice songs in her album “19”. But don’t get too excited yet… I was a little baffled with the meaning of her single Chasing Pavements – I was thinking: What does it suppose to mean “Chasing Pavements”? Then I got a very interesting answer from an urban dictionary website. First thought was: “OM*G!” and then, “PMSL!” and then, “GOSH!”

All in all, they’re all great singers. But if I have to pick only one, I’d have to say – without a doubt – Adele. “Why?” I hear you ask (or maybe it’s my schizophrenia acting up on me again) Well, because apart from a very rude and ribald translation I got from the term “Chasing Pavements”, there’s actually nothing wrong about her style of music (well, according to my taste of course). She’s a superb artist is all! Put simply: I dig the street chick’s bangin’ tunes.

DISCLAIMER: Please be aware that the following material contains strong language that some may find offensive. This text is entirely fictitious. It is an excerpt from an e-mail and the original author is kept anonymous.

One sunny afternoon, an East End nurse, a European lawyer and a nun was sitting on the same bench in a park in West London. The trio observes as a gay couple walks past in front of them.

‘What a bunch of pussies!’ the lawyer sniggered.
‘I have never heard of such an obscene statement…’ the nurse recoiled.
‘Pish-posh,’ the nun waved a hand, ‘I believe the right term is “faggots”.’
‘Whoa, sister,’ the nurse turned to face her, ‘isn’t that a little too strong?’
‘Bah,’ the nun scoffed.
‘But you’re a nun; there should be limitations to your discretion? ‘In it?’
‘Fuck it, I’m Agnostic,’ the nun rolled her eyes.

Even the lawyer widened her eyes. ‘That’s pretty strong language, sister,’
‘So sue me,’ the nun rolled her eyes again. She then takes out a flask from her chest pocket.
‘Owh. Holy water?’ the nurse looked, ‘do you carry it everywhere?’
‘Stupid simpleton, it is Bourbon…’ the nun uncapped the flask and drank. ‘Want some?’
‘God… I have never seen such appalling behaviour,’ the nurse gaped.
‘I’m sure you’ve seen a lot. You’re a nurse ‘in it?’ the lawyer laughed.
‘I need a cocking drink,’ the nurse turned towards the nun.
‘Be my guest,’ the nun shoved the flask to the nurse and she took a metal container from her other chest pocket.

‘A spare flask?’ the nurse was shocked. ‘Are you kidding me?’
The nun ignored her and opened the container, from it, she took out what seemed to be Marlboro Menthols.
‘Jesus wept!’ the nurse’s mouth fell agape.

The nun lighted her ciggy and took a puff.
‘Didn’t you take an oath of chastity or something?’ the lawyer said.
‘It didn’t say nothing ‘bout taking a goddamn fag,’ the nun responded, ‘now leave me alone!’
‘Anyways, that accent, where are you originally from?’ the nurse asked the lawyer.
‘I’m originally Dutch,’ the lawyer grinned.
‘Owh, a dyke…’ the nurse chortled.
‘Uh, no…’ the lawyer showed some discomfort, ‘I said I’m Dutch… from Netherlands.’
‘Yea I heard ya the first time,’ the nurse nodded. ‘So, you’re a dyke.’
‘Just because I’m a Dutch doesn’t mean I have to be a dyke!’ the lawyer chided.
‘Are you or are you not a dyke?!’ the nurse raised her voice.
The lawyer gave the nurse a disappointed look and sighed. ‘Yea… I am,’
‘Typical,’ the nurse scoffed.

Did I say there’s a point to this???

As Seen on The Simpsons No.2 - Marge Simpson

2008-07-19T00:05:00.000-07:00

Who wouldn't want Marge Simpson to be their mother? She's caring, kind, well-mannered and doting. She makes sure you'll have lunch for school - packed and ready. She do the chores without wasting time.

Then again, one's patience has a limit - if you cross Marge, she WILL let you have it. Homer knows this all too well. Though inconsiderate, dense and really ignorant, Homer still tries his best to accomodate Marge. Nonetheless, in the end, Marge will still be the one backing her husband.

There's no one that Marge would love more than her children: Maggie, Lisa and Bart (maybe not as must as Maggie or Lisa, but eh...). And she'll virtually do anything to make sure they're safe - even flash her T--- at an elephant! LMAO! A true dedicated mother, spouse and member of the community.

A Psychological Drama, Brilliantly Plotted

2008-07-18T19:14:00.000-07:00

Title: The Number 23
Produced by: New Line Cinema
Country: US
Directed by: Joel Schumacher
Producers: Beau Flynn
Fernley Phillips
Tripp Vinson
Featuring: Jim Carrey
Virginia Madsen
Logan Lerman
Danny Huston
Mark Pellegrino
Rhona Mitra
Rating: US [R]; UK [15]; CA [14A]; AU [MA15+]; IAR [12-CLPSV]
Genre: Thriller, Mystery

Walter Sparrow is an animal control officer – on his birthday, he received an uncanny self-published novel from his wife. The main character in the paperback explains that he got the name Fingerling from an obscure children's book, one that to Walter's surprise he had also owned and enjoyed as a child. Also of note, the book details Fingerling's meeting with the "Suicide Blonde" whose obsession with the number 23 drives her to murder her boyfriend and commit suicide. In the novel, her explanations and calculations of almost everything — including names, birth dates, and colors — all adding up to 23, drive her insane. Walter's continued paranoia causes him to have dreams of killing Agatha, again in parallel with the book. He then begins to feel absorbed by the coincidences of the number 23.

When my friend first told me he was dying to watch this film when it reached the cinemas, I responded by saying “I’d rather sit and watch milk turn into penicillin.” Suffice to say, I wasn’t convinced a bit by the concept that all these numbers and values can add up to the number 23, or at times 5 (which is still 2+3). It wasn’t until last month when I was really proved wrong entirely.

When I watched the film on HBO, I was amazed by the gripping storyline. At the same time, also embarrassed that I made such a pompous statement and exposed my blatant lack of foresight. The story snatches the audience right from the beginning (well, not really, but pass the first 15 or so minutes and the action starts). And it keeps on going until you get encircled by the brilliant plot. The psychology of this film is really fascinating. And I’m also glad that Jim Carrey had appeared in a film that wasn’t a daft monotonous comedy.

For a psychological thriller, The Number 23 is enticingly provocative, but not excessively vile or repulsive. Compared to the TV-series, Murder Prevention, it’s merely a joke and may disappoint violence buffs. Nevertheless, the smart twists and spins in this film will attest to the idea that graphic violence and aggressive bloodshed does not make a good film; it is the scheme of the story that makes The Number 23 worth your 100 minutes.

A Birthday Surprise for Miss Liew

2008-07-18T18:22:00.000-07:00

We just threw a surprise party for school counsellor, Miss Lily Liew, on the 16th this month. During recess, we hurriedly cramped ourselves to the school’s Audiovisual Auditorium (AVA). The party was small; only about 30 attendees were present. One of the coordinators, Lee, arranged the cake and prepped the group to be ready for the surprise.

Unfortunately, Miss Liew was pretty busy that day and it took us about half an hour to lure her to the AVA. But finally, the long awaited guest arrived and hadn’t known better of the surprise (or at least we’d like to think so). She appeared to be her usual self – only in a tense rush to get out of the place. We presented her with the birthday present and made her pose with it – and she reluctantly did (for a short while).

Not taking the time waiting into consideration, the party was relatively short; after all, they’re classes to attend to and we hadn’t much time to dilly-dally. The cake was devoured like it was some bison carcass in the middle of an African watering hole. No leftovers, except for the wax candles (well it was still there when I left. But hey, people eat funny things when they’re hungry).

Disturbingly Absorbing, Look Into One of History’s Most Shocking Atrocities.

2008-07-18T05:32:00.000-07:00

Title: The Last King of Scotland
Produced by: Fox Searchlight Pictures
Country: UK
Directed by: Kevin MacDonald
Producers: Giles Foden
Peter Morgan
Jeremy Brock
Featuring: James McAvoy
Forest Whitaker
Kerry Washington
Frank McBurney
Gillian Anderson
Rating: US [R]; UK [15]; CA [18A]; AU [MA15+]; IAR [15-CLSV]
Genre: Historical Thriller, Drama

Based on actual persons, this story revolves around a young newly-qualified Scottish doctor Nicholas Garrigan heads to Uganda seeking adventure and escape from the bourgeois life of his father. He works in a small clinic on the countryside with Dr. Merrit and his wife, Sarah. Meanwhile, Uganda has just underwent a major political coup. Their new leader, Idi Amin (ob. 2001), seemed to be what the nation needed. And when everything looked perfect, the General turned paranoid and all hell broke loose.

They’re two reasons why I wanted to watch this film. First reason was because of its historical element on the Ugandan genocide during the dictatorship of General Idi Amin. I was very stirred by this alarming and often, explicitly realistic encounter. The writers didn’t go soft on the graphic content, so expect to see things like a torture scene and a mutilated victim as you reach the peak of the plot.

The second reason I watched this film is because two very talented actors (i.e. James McAvoy and Forest Whitaker) are in it. And “Wow!” is the right word to delineate my awe of their magnificent performances. This film is a must for people who like movies with strong gripping action and a mature spectacle into a turbulent history, or just fans of McAvoy of Whitaker; but doesn’t mind some graphically distressing scenes (then again, you can always shut your eyes and cover your ears till it’s over).

An Unforgettable Epic Cartoon Feature

2008-07-18T05:13:00.000-07:00

Title: Titan A.E.
Produced by: Twentieth Century Fox
Country: US
Directed by: Don Bluth, Gary Goldman
Producers: Don Bluth
Gary Goldman
David Kirschner
Featuring: Matt Damon
Bill Pullman
John Leguizamo
Nathane Lane
Jeneane Garofalo
Drew Barrymore
Rating: US [PG]; UK [PG]; CA [PG]; AU [PG]; IAR [PG-LV]
Genre: Cartoon, Sci-Fi, Adventure

In the dawn of the 31st century, deep space travel has become a daily routine for the human race, who have by now used their advanced technology to reach into the deepest reaches of the Galaxy. The protagonist, Cale, lost his father (a developer of the "Titan Project" - a machine that is capable of reproducing a new planet) during the attack of the Drej. Years after, he leads on a team to bring the Titan to the target planet and continue what Cale's father failed to finish.

I first watched this cartoon movie ages ago on DVD. I could hardly remember how old I was – maybe around 12. This movie really pulled me in very quickly. The protagonist Cale, if I had remembered his name right, is an inspiring character. After loosing his father, he is determined to continue his father’s Titan project. At that time, I was very enthused by this movie – it’s funny, exciting and at times, even gripping.

Come to think of it, this cartoon may be the only cartoon that still keep me attached after all these years. I surprised that I never actually grew bored of it. Granted, I also like Atlantis: The Lost Empire and other cheesy titles like A Bugs Life or that very rude film feature of the most appalling cartoon TV-series on Earth (also infamous for featuring really ribald 4th Grade children). But when all is said and done, Titan A.E. is one great movie that hardly any other could rival.

Unrelenting Hilarity + Fast-paced Violence = A Startlingly HOT Film!

Genre: Comedy, Action, Crime, Mystery.

When i saw the synopsis of this film, i was immediately entranced to it. And watching it was one of the best movie experiences i've even... uhh... experienced.

This film revolves around P.C. (i.e. Police Constable) Nicholas Angel, a no nonsense, high arrest rate officer. With a 400% above average arrest record, P.C. Angel was making the others in his team look bad - for that, he was transfered to a small country town in Glouchestershire to serve as a Police Inspector.

Reluctant at first, P.C. Angel had no choice but to give in. Not long after he joined the small village's police force, mysteriously coincidential accidents began to happen. Being the inquisitive officer he always was, Officer Angel begins to investigate the real cause of the unexplainable series of grizzly accidents.

This film is achingly funny throughout the entire plot. It's more of a light-hearted action comedy than it is a no-holds-barred cat and mouse flick. But don't get me wrong, this film is not for the faint hearted too - it does contain some disturbingly graphic scenes of bloodshead. Put it another way: it's a fast-paced, high-action, high-wit whodunit film. What makes it so intriguing is the flash cuts that appear almost a hundred times in the film - rapid edits that gives the film a fast-paced effect.

If you haven't watched this film, I truly suggest that you get it. Download it over the internet (the legal way), or look it up in a video store (the legal ones), or even rent it from a video rental (the... oh wait, nothing wrong with that).

As Seen on The Simpsons - Bart

2008-07-11T23:24:00.000-07:00

Bartholemew (Bart) J. Simpson in full. The most annoying person in Springfield. Bart can make you laugh your guts out with his ridiculous stunts and lame, impractical jokes.

This mail-tamperer, old-people-harasser, prank-caller, con artist and idiot in one is a hilarious creation of Matt Groening. He never disappoints with his creative ideas and smart-alect catchphrases. If it weren't for Bart, I'd think The Simpsons would be very much duller than it turns out to be.

As his archenemy, Principle Skinner could only groan, curse and beg at Bart's unrelenting attempts to annoy. Best friend, Milhouse is what you'd call a weak, wacky and very impressionable boy - tags along in Bart's daily "stunt"capades.

Common Quotes: "Ay Caramba!" - "Eat My Shorts!" - "I didn't do it..."

Sigur Ros' Latest Album

2008-07-11T05:08:00.001-07:00

I stumbled upon Sigur Rós when I was browsing the iTunes Store. Međ Suđ Í Eyrum Viđ Spilum Endalaust is their latest album and I think they are a force to be reckoned with. Comprising of Jón Þór “Jónsi” Birgisson, Georg “Goggi” Hólm, Kjartan “Kjarri” Sveinsson, and Orri Páll Dýrason - Sigur Ros' has their unique, melodic, minimalistic flavour.

Being known for their ethereal tunes and lead singer Jónsi Birgisson's falsetto voice. And Međ Suđ Í Eyrum Viđ Spilum Endalaust is one of their finest albums.

Their song Gobbledigook is an upbeat melodic song with edgy beats that'll make you move muscles you never knew you had. Festival on the other hand is a less upbeat and more melodic. These two songs are a must hear!

Besides those, the rest are fine. But ain't much to shout about.

I'll be including more of their songs in my blog soon...

French and Saunders 20 Unforgettable Years

2008-07-11T00:07:00.000-07:00

Once a great comedy sketch series on BBC2, French and Saunders is a ever-hilarious series of sketches covering celebrities, current affairs and even those things that shouldn't be mentioned. My favourite scene would have to be the Catherine Zeta Jones' Christmas Message (available in the video bar on your left). In it, Dawn French had impersonated Jones so skillfully it almost made me laugh my innards out...

One of my favourite lines were:
"Her [Renee Zellweger] plot failed. I got the Oscar. While she looked like the living dead...
Or rather... The dead dead!
No Oscar!
RESULT!"

Cat's in the Cradle (A tale) [contains some strong language]

2008-07-06T03:10:00.000-07:00

Even in death my dad had a smile. A subtle, indistinct, but clearly patronizing smile; he always had a smile like that, especially when he thinks he’s right. As if to say, ‘I’m going to a better place now, too bad you people are still stranded on this Earth.’

I kept thinking: I’m just 17 and I’d lost my father. What happens now? At that very moment as I found out he collapsed, lifeless at the post office – I knew I would never hear him speak again. And the worst thing was…

* * *
It was just a typical weekday morning. I just got out of bed, thanks to my mother, ‘Mikey, get out of bed or you’ll be late for school!’

‘Mikey, I made pancakes,’ mom said in the kitchen.

I wasn’t interested in the pancakes, I came down the stairs and bumped into my father, and he was on his way out. Perfect timing.

‘Dad, can I borrow the car tonight? It’s a Friday,’ I asked.

‘Michael, no…’ he answered with an exasperated tone. ‘You just passed two weeks ago; I’m not going to let you drive without an adult on the passenger seat.’

I wasn’t going to give up on just that, ‘But come on dad! It’s Friday night, and my friends are going out.’

‘No!’ came the very firm and strident answer. Even my mother was startled by it.

‘You know dad!’ I was angrier than I was disappointed. ‘I would live much better off if you were DEAD!’

That phrase struck a nerve. Dad took a deep breath, so strong you could hear the air rushing through his windpipe. His neck tightened and bulged. ‘One day, I will make you eat those words!’ he stormed out the door with a bang.

Who knew, twenty minutes later he would have a heart attack at the post office.
* * *

So, here I am, sitting by the corner at his funeral. Thinking about that very morning three days ago, the words I said. Why did I say those words? There’s a solemn atmosphere at the funeral. Mom is dabbing her cheeks right at the first row. My grandparents are beside her; other people are shifting their glances towards me once every few moments. They must be thinking: Why is his son sitting at the corner sulking when he should sit by his closest relatives?

I can’t say I never loved my father. I did, but it’s just “love” – I never really cared much about him. I knew the fact that him being my father makes him important to me; but besides that, before that fateful day – I wouldn’t have bothered with whatever happens to him. As I sat there, it then occurred to me: Dad and I did spent a lot of quality time together.

Like the first time he took me fishing. It was a warm afternoon; he taught me how to catch the largest fish I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, the line snapped and the silvery trout swam free. We went to a fish store and bought twenty dollars worth of fresh snappers and told mom that we made a big catch. Too bad she wasn’t convinced a bit, maybe because we forgot to destroy the receipt.

Then there was once when we went hiking. I had a minor accident and scraped my knee. It was nothing really, but it did hurt a lot. I remember I was just 13 and we were almost up to the top, but I started to complain because of the gash on my knee. Dad blew gently on my wound and it did help, but just enough to stop me from whining. He piggybacked me the rest of the way up to the peak and back down again. I can’t believe I couldn’t recall that moment until now.

And the time he taught me how to ride a bike. Back then I was just 6, and I was a very impatient brat then. I kept nitpicking about not being able to keep myself on two wheels and that cycling wasn’t going to be fun for me. But dad grinned and said, ‘if you fall, try again. Keep it up and you’ll be able to ride a bike by the end of the day.’ He was right; I did learn how to cycle. I can never forget that wide smile he had when I told him I could cycle all the way down the street.

Thinking about the past made me feel emotional. After all he did to me, I responded with rudeness and a reprehensible lack of gratification. I could feel the regret. My arms tremble, the muscles in my body, hands and face spasm. I couldn’t control my breathing, my chest heave fast and heavy.

My grandmother noticed me at the back and I could just make out what she asked my mom, ‘what’s wrong with Michael?’

Mom turns around and sighs, ‘he blames himself for what happened.’

‘Oww…’ I could sense grandma’s pity as she frowned.

The drive back home was somber. I didn’t say a word. Mom finally decided to say something.
‘It’s not your fault you know. Don’t be so hard on yourself,’ she said.

‘But he was livid when I said those words to him,’ I responded. ‘Who wouldn’t get a heart attack after hearing such hurtful things?’

‘We can’t know for sure right?’ mom answered. ‘You know your father had problems with his heart, something like this is bound to happen sooner or later.’

‘Yea, but I shouldn’t have said those words knowing that it would stress him out! I’m such a goddamn bastard!’ I retorted.

‘Look Mikey,’ mom sighed. ‘What is done is done. There’s no proof that what you said caused his infarction. And there’s no reason for you to think that way.’

In a way, mom was right – but I couldn’t stop kicking myself for saying such an awful thing to dad. If only I could see him one last time – even if so – I wouldn’t know what to say, or how to say that I’m sorry… At that moment, as if the circumstances weren’t ironic enough, the radio played out Cat’s in the Cradle by Cat Stevens. Imagine – a song about a son who couldn’t care less of his father. I wanted to switch the radio off, but the interlude kept me hooked.

And the cat's in the cradle with the silver spoon,

little boy blue and the man on the moon.

"When you coming home? Son?

I don't know when.

We'll get together then.

You know we'll have a good time then."

I say Coldplay

2008-07-06T01:31:00.000-07:00

Just listen to Coldplay's new album Viva La Vida and you'll probably get into the mood to shake. Their intriguing genre, I find, is very much like rock with a sense of artsy funk. Violet Hill is a great song - though the band wasn't very eager to let fans know what the title actually resembles, I'd still find the song hauntingly romantic in a way...

As for other titles, their title track Viva La Vida is an eccentric track with a hint of bizzarro. I'm not sure how to describe it, but it sounds really catchy.

A last thought: I can't say I love the album... but equally, it has some interesting tracks and I'm sure Coldplay fans would not put it down.

So... This is blogging eh?
