As you know, I always strive to bring the freakiness of Japanese folks without restraint nor censorship ~ today, I bring you the freakiest thing I’ve seen since… a couple days ago. If you haven’t watched Chobits, this won’t be as shocking.. but — here’s a picture of cute Chii-chan to start us off.

Prepare […]

Oh Noes! I thought Anne Bancroft was sorta hot! NooOOooOOo! Ah, I shouldn’t disrespect her ~ she was a fine actress… appearing in quite a few wonderful films. The best line ever came from her — “I never did mind about the little things.” She passed away quite recently actually - […]

As I was driving home today after stopping by Burger King, I found myself wondering — “why isn’t there a car-mate to help us dine in cars easier? why must I drive with my knee in order to dip the new chicken fries in the buffalo sauce when I don’t have to?” In […]

After waiting for more than 2 months, I finally did it tonight. Staying up for the past 4 hours, I had the silly website running the timer as I watch anime in the foreground. Caught up on Trinity Blood, Eureka 7, and the latest episode of Basilisk! Remember, if you ever get […]

I think my problem with The Final Cut wasn’t because of the poor chemistry between Robin Williams who is old enough to be Mira Sorvino’s father, nor because Jim Caviezel can’t act but works great being beat up — but that the premise of the story just didn’t sit well with me.
Basically, it’s saying that […]

Two years and half after the Colombia accident (I didn’t see it, so don’t remember it well) — Shuttle Discovery finally launched today at around 10:38. With various delays and articles that told problems about the shuttle, it seems almost a miracle that the launch happened without any incidents!
It was really cool to […]

When the highly acclaimed director Stanley Kubrick (Spartacus, 2001: Space Odyssey, Clockwork Orange) wanted to bring the best-selling horror The Shining to the big screen, thrill seekers gasped with anticipation. Though the resulting picture differs wildly from Stephen King?s original version, the general audience loves The Shining through the unique vision of Kubrick. […]

At least, I think so…
My next writing assignment is a review on Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. I’m not particularly fond of the movie, so I’m stuck in the middle of finding out what I should write. Ahh… meanwhile, I’m still not writing any summaries for anime. They’re stacking up higher and […]

After waiting a month, I finally e-submitted my dental application. I wish I knew what I know now… I wouldn’t have waited this damn long otherwise. $835 spent on just the AADSAS — and now, I have to go to every single school I’m applying to and give them more money.

I’m frustrated with the professor. For my first Core I assignment, I tried really really hard. With 4 different revisions, and Linda assisting, I got a 84. I was a bit surprised… but, given that there were a grammar errors and stylistic errors (like missing capitalization), I didn’t complain too much. […]

I bought this book several months ago when I signed up to a book club and didn’t touch it until just this last weekend. Soon as I started reading the book, the difficulty lies in putting it back down. The latest novel by Dean Koontz, Life Expectancy is written in a biographical narrative […]

Routinely, I usually get on the highway soon as I can when driving — especially late at night when traffic lightly dots the road. Today, I went against the routine due to lack of gasoline. After the movie around midnight, I drove down Colonial Dr in search of a gas station and I’m […]

I would like to write a detailed and well-written review of War of the Worlds, but since I suck at writing, I won’t try too hard. WotW is about aliens coveting our happy planet Earth for eons and planned an invasion since dawn of humanity. They studied us like we would study fruit […]

I really don’t think Fantastic Four deserves such bad reviews across the board. I mean, at the very least, it’s average. Let’s look at it from positive stand points — the plot flowed, the acting was tolerable, the premise was believable, the special effects were nice. They went out into space and […]

This is definitely the best Batman movie since the comic book went to the big screen! Or perhaps it’s just much better written than all the other Batman movies… I never thought Batman should be funny like the one with Arnold… or should be weird like the one with Jack Nicholson… Jim […]
