Well, finally got my hands on S. King’s newest, Cell and am finding that it’s too much like The Stand to avoid comparison. This time it’s not the Superflu, but the cell phone that’s the harbinger of doomsday. Written far too much like a movie script to not expect it out in widescreen in the […]

Should a doctor doctor a doctor according to the doctoring doctor’s doctrine of doctoring doctored doctors, or should a doctor doctor a doctor according to the doctored doctor’s doctrine of doctoring doctored doctors?

I started in the world of first person shooters like most other old gamers out there, with Wolfenstein 3D. When Po and I discovered networking with Doom, it became a whole new world! We visited a local bullentin board system, Combat Zone was it? I don’t recall… but there, we met and […]

After Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Ring, he held in his hands, a golden ticket, allowing him to make any movie he wanted and the budget will be there. King Kong, the 8th wonder of the world, went into production and the result was ah… pile of turd for Jerfy, but an above […]

How much do you value your life? Jigsaw from the first movie asked the question, and continued to ask the same question in the sequel, Saw II. Once again, people were taking lives for granted, and it’s up to Jigsaw to correct and set them on the right path.
Without giving away the story […]

A remake of 1977 movie, Fun with Dick and Jane stars the symbol of movie funny, Jim Carrey along side of Téa Leoni. It’s a very basic premise, and the variation lies in the execution of the film and the prowess of the actors — and overall, I think it worked out.
Dick (Carrey) and […]

For the past month, I spent a tremendous amount of time playing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on the XBOX360. Rated as one of the best role playing game by critics and players worldwide, it boasts hundreds of quests, miles of walkable area, non-linear gameplay, kickass graphics, and fully voiced dialogues. Since I’ve logged […]

As I thought about what to write on the show (for all of 2 minutes that I spent watching it), I realized what I’m going to write will frame me as an elitist. But, I don’t really care =) So first, read the description of Deal or No Deal. Now, think about […]

How do you accurately depict the life of a master from ages past? History tend to be biased, and sometime factually unsound due to various factors. With Immortal Beloved, perhaps it’s all true, or perhaps the script acquired a facelift by Hollywood standards ~ who knows! What we can say is whether […]

In celebration of WP 2.0.2, I’m going to do something I haven’t done in months! Blogging anime! A new anime season just started, and quite a few just ended their run. One popular anime finishing up is the sequel to Mai Hime, Mai Otome!

As a sequel, Otome shares many similiar themes and […]

I started reading the book quite a few months ago and had the miniseries on queue after Linda mentioned it to me. The DVD didn’t come for the longest time because I just had “L Words” hanging around the house doing nothin. Lonesome Dove is a rather famous novel by Larry McMurtry, and […]

Well, I can’t say the blog looks any different, but it is! The administration got some major work done to it, and writing posts seems easier than ever! … well, it just looks neat, I dunno =) I don’t know if Akismet is what Rob is referring to - but, I’m using the sucker now […]

When a writer is successful in Japan - the story will have a manga, an anime, TV show, and movie! Nana, I suppose, is extremely successful. At first, I thought I downloaded an anime movie, but something caught my eyes and stopped me from pushing delete when I saw… real people acting. […]

North Country , nominated for Oscar for best actress, poses as a sharp contrast against Æon Flux in terms of Theron’s flexibility. Comparable to Monster, North Country is based on real events of Jenson vs Eveleth Mines that took place not that long ago.
North Country is a moving film even if the events unfold […]

I wish my silly blog can’t be found by crazy bots that spam for the sake of Google search ranking. I haven’t used SQL for ages, but I had to rely on it to kill off over 5000 spam comments just earlier.
