if Surrogate can be created for everything in life....





Surrogate is the movie that actually discuss about what the world is going to be in the future is, if our lives can be replaced by robotics to go around the world with no fear of human being hurt yet still be able to live and feel?
Yet it poses the underlying problems and issues that ensues with the surrogacy of human body in all living environment. Are we really living normally or the pursues of normalcy have cause the very person to lock themselves in the house and hide from the real world through a robot.
The story is easy enough to understand, and the progression is easily guessed yet the topics is an intrigue one. Leaving audience dive into the situation and imagine what they would be like to live in such a state.
So what will happen if we life through robot or if we have the freedom….. or when we lose it suddenly?


Good News!! Micheal Jackson: This is it!! will have it's screening extended to the Thanksgiving holiday!












Everyone!!! It’s just a 2 week show. Better get your tickets now. This is it!! The ultimate concert that never happen.
The spetacular that will not be seen by the world could be the most amazing journey that the fans from over 3 decade that have never experienced. The mixes of the old sound with the new move and the most adventurous and experimental sets ever created. The pyro techniques and the lighting, the huge screen and the huge on stage setting. The dancers that moves as well as Micheal, and the old timer that is so comfortable with him and the new generation that have been inspired by him now stand on the same stage with the great and learn and see the work shape by the meistro.
Jackson, at the age of 51, still moves as fast and reflects as well as a 20 yo and sing even better than any experienced singer. You can’t stop but look on the big screen and be impressed by the professionalism of this great artist. Ask the dancers, seeing him sing and dance on stage, even when it’s just a rehearsal, the 50% effort is already better than more than half of the artist on earth.
He is simply the most unique and the only and only KING OF POP in our decade and I think for the century ahead of us.

Pandorum a concoction of thrill that never stop till the end















Know how the Pandorum swing
When you wake up in a chamber, not knowing where you are, what’s your name and why are you here and there’s no one that can tell you the reason you are here…. What would you do?

To top that concoction with a space ship full of monster….. how do you survive.
That’s what happen and when Pandorum is not the name of an object.






Pandorum is the name of the Event Horizon-esque + Aliens movie.
The suspense, the psychotic breakdown of the character, the chase and the rescue, this is one thriller that makes sense and really brought back all the dark scary alley way moment.


Though craziness is just one the edge of the good side, and too overly outrageous, though the action and the chasing can be faster and more focused but it is enough.
Though the last part of the effects are done rather poorly. It simply seems a bit too drawing that real. Maybe that’s what the director try to convey that the new would have other worldly color than on earth.
Overall it is a fast pace thriller with reasonable scare.






Final Destination 3D Vs a bunch of Guinea Pigs special Agent










While one is a PG13 movie and the other is for all Kids
The Special Effects speaks far too loud to ignore that the little cute rodents and cockroaches are far better than the premonition of the death
Final Destination has come to it’s 4th installment, the 3D effects that’s the hype of the movie is what the movie can do without.
While the storyline is more interesting than it’s predecessors, the effects is a swept under the belt when there’s tons of 3D effects movie coming out this year.
The car chase, the more good looking actors and actresses, and the bigger disaster scene make the movie more interesting. But just a little bit. The rest of the formulated success are pretty much the same.
audience are craving for more originality by now. And not just effects, especially when the effects boosted is not as good as they expected. The roller coaster ride have become a bit of a slow boat ride in this one. The gore is upgraded though for those interested.
******************************************************
As for the for all ages cutey pie of the week. The GG Force is weeping up a great deal on the block buster. The special effects are very futuristically design and well put, making the animal special training look both realistic and futuristic, of course not to forget that close to 90% of the scene in the movie is CGI with every imaginable Character. Even the cockroaches looks cute when the hit the dance….. desk. So you get the special effects, the actions, the 3D sensation, the special effects. I would say it’s a success. The only thing that’s a bit bothering is the closeness of the ending to transformers sequence. It’s not cool and you are claiming innovation and putting in something that’s a bit too copycat. Congrates to the team’s best effort to create a totally funny movie.

Gerry Vs Gerard

































The 300 lad, Gerard butler has transformed himself this year into a love guru and a puppet in a small futuristic movie.
This time he’s done it again a perfectly. The ultimate British bachelor, strong, egoistic, romantic and self centered. In the Ugly Truth, Gerard butler is the love guru of our time. Smashing every rules inn the book including his own of his own show in the movie. Of course the wittily funny movie can’t do without Kat Highle, this chick flick is probably the funniest I’ve experience this year. The jokes that come out of it is endless and the girls would love a love triangle like what Kat’s character and Gerry Character went through.














On the other hand, the same month, the Gamer is own. The futuristic game of real life Sims where human is paying real life human that’s willing to act to play a virtual role on real life simulation. And the new controlling freak game of the year is gamer can control in mate that’s willing to fight in a war zone simulation to reduce their sentencing. There’s no doubt arguing about the social logic of the movie is insanely inhuman. But with the rate of the America’s inmate and jail system and the crowding of jail condition this time. It seems like a viable system, if only that’s a non-humane person that could actually create such technology and people that is willing to play the role of both the gamer and the person being played. Anyway why Gerard Butler is one of the best actor of our time, is that this time it’s a totally different role from The Ugly truth. He is the fugitive, the gamer, the strong willed, desperate fighter, soft lover and the loving family man that’s fighting for his life. To tell the truth the Gamer is futuristic and a bit too real for those that are playing any role player game in virtual right now. And the disconnection from what happening in the mind while you are playing that role is very real for today’s youth. Too real instead that it could become a reality. The special effects of the movie however is pretty 1990’s. But it does makes it seems more realistic than treated with special effects. And the module that the movie is working on is quite virtual gaming with the transformation of the people from real world to virtual and the intro of the gamer or the character of the game.

Adulthood vs Childish


Just got this from a friend.Why you got so many people in your facebook? do you know all of them? don't keep wearing your iPod. it's so childish.....


So let me see, when you reach a certain age, your life should have settle down, certain amount of income, remain good friends with those people you know and you should only stay with the people in certain age groups, work your ass off, and rest only in the weekend.


I must say, have he/she mistaken adulthood for boring? Who's the person that set all this rules

Yes i have quite a few great friends, doesn't mean i can't meet more. Their life is interesting to start with. there's no harm in sharing eh!? regardless what their age is.so i have about 500 i met and 500 i just meet and many more to come. life changes, life circle and friends does too. so i know 500 of them, and the other 500 i just freshly met. nothing wrong with that.


Why do the promo and interview for free? why not? a person share a story in their life with you and wish to share it with everyone. i dun see the reason to only do something when there's something(Money) involve. if there is some good that comes from all of it, is i met a bunch a great, creative people that's generous enough to share their experience with me.


Traveling around the world in a sail boat, riding in horse race, joining a dancing gang and touring the world, making a concert, singing in one, writting a screen play, bouncing ideas with a bunch of silly people, Building a stage with the most impossible configuration of light setting, DJ ing in a club, DJ ing in a Radio, Hosting an event, joining a national team, making great music, building a school, digging a well in Africa, Sleeping on the street of Prague, dancing in the square of London, Chessing in the park of Amsterdam, Rodeo in the west, Drinking Tea in Japan, Creating effects in the movie set, Drawing for the Graphic effects in Movie, drawing the structure of a building, a foreigner living in a small Tuscany village watching the kids running home in the orange sun with thier strong as hell farmer grandfather. every single of those things interest me and thanks to the people i meet i know what it feels like doing those things. so...... only children can do that? you can only feel it when you are older? or younger? or with money? without money you should feel those things, do those things?


ask them that's doing all of it they'd say they have no idea what's coming when they do it all. and to tell the truth half of them have no idea how they get to where they are now. they just know they did it. they just did it. Life's a gift, i ain't planning on wasting it on some other people's breath from his/her dissatisfaction in their own life or whatever that is in their mind that they wish to impose on mine.


As for the childish part, well, not everyone's life have to be 24/7 925 everyday sitting in the same spot. and even if you do no one say you must soak yourself in misery every second of it. life comes with challenges, and can't I actually enjoy some of it instead of treating every task a miserable existance of a pathetic life? thing changes, life changes, have some fun before the time you can't. do you really need to wait til weekend? Dancing around with a iPod, enjoying every second in life doesn't seem more childish than gossiping about some people that you have not even talk to before at the back.No Disrespect, I'm not the one ruining other people's life.

Dancing, Singing, Listening, Feeling and Experimenting.
Carpe Diem!!

Up, a little animation with a big heart and huge adventure
















Just got through the Animation of the year, Up.
I must say it is better than Wall-E
Simple thing, grumpy old man who lost his wife, leave the city with his house and stuck with a kid on the adventure.
Pixar never fail to touch the hearts of everyone’s watching with the slightest touches of detail here and there.
There you have the long lasting love of a couple. In the end, the old man realizes they have given up a bit of their own dream in the past when they become family. No regrets there, yet it is time to have some closure by fulfilling what’s been left undone.
Along the way, you learn that the journey in life have already begin to take you away from where you set out to be and you have already let go then day you let another person in. even when it’s just a small kid.
Surely enough what’s a great adventure without some fights and great excitement and interesting fictional creature and gadgets. HAHAHA!!
Pixar have never fails to impress. Why would it this time.
Up is the most compelling and touching story ever comes out of the animation dream factory.

Did I get my furniture by the miracle of Chance and Law of Attraction?! Thanks to my Brother it is somewhat correct to say that HAHA!!!

Talk about Law of Attraction, when I came back from Athens on 2004, I always thought that I wanted to have a comfy living room or home like my brother’s. Sure enough after come back so long I’ve already forgotten what I really wanted to have.
Yet sure enough the natural Law never fails to impress those who can open their eyes and see it.
What happens in the past 2 weeks is that. I have not saved enough money to get what I want. Nor did I save more than when I did in KL, with my raised salary. I got more debts, yet a somewhat healthier life. And the amazing thing is that this time I got the exact whole set of living room set and bedroom set my brother have in Athens.
How you ask? He gave them to me, exactly what he had there then. He’d move from Europe to South East Asia to work and send all his things to me. And now without really buying everything, I have all I ever thought I’d want. A bit longer than I’ve expected. But still it is the same living room and the same bed room as it is in Athens, the exact furniture. Surely I must thank my brother too.
My friend would have said I shouldn’t be happy cause I didn’t earn it on my own.
Why spoil the happiness. I am grateful for the gifts, I and thankful for what I receive. Whether I did it on my own or not, you should know by now, good things come by chance, no matter how hard you try. When it comes, there’s no stopping it. So I’d just be grateful for the things I receive.
Gotta really give it to the One above for the good fortune with this little joke. Love life, for you’ll never know when something amazing will happen to you. I am in Heaven now!!!

District 9, Disturbing realistic for a Science Fiction movie
















From a romantic comedy now we move on to something much more logical or rather, unrealistic.
Making movie history, here’s the most realistic scenario of an Aliens invasion.
District 9 is one of the most innovative (Hence, I didn’t say the most entertaining.) movie of the year. Rather stopping in the US (like all movies does), the Aliens choose one of the most uncommon of places for the people from the space to land. The Grasshopper like aliens (not the cutest creature in the world) been taking refuge in the similar condition as any African have in Johannesburg inner city. After 10 years, the only human character that matters (not the most likeable Character either.) become the person to do the dirty work for the private company to evict these Aliens from the camp. In the process, he got something in his mouth and started to change.
The Private company tries to catch him for testing and he escape find refuge in one of the alien he bullied the day before.
Trying to make it realistic with documentary-style cinematography at first, makes audience pretty uncomfortable with the prospect of having uncommunicatable creature as huge and threatening as human living among human is far too much for normal audience to accept. No need to say to see a not so like main character to be the hero of the movie and the side kick is a similarly unfavorable graphic animated Insect….. it won’t likely be the most likable movie of the year. But it would be one of the most realisticly shocking movie of the year, taking people in the reality of the probability of really having such aliens living among humans. Indirectly showing the cruelty of corporate operated humanitarian effort, the greed or inhumane condition of the operation, that somewhat resemblance or signify what would happen when a private corporation really takes over such effort in real life. So in the end all they wanted is to research and get the weapon and money.
I must say, the graphic is undeniably some of the most realistic I’ve seen on the big screen. It is believable and most of all adapting from a real scene effects, to making a TV news screen the silver screen makes it totally believable. And though audience dreaded the first 30 minutes, they are pretty much capture by the fast pace action after that.
The movie reminded me Cloverfield, but without the wobbly camera movement, but remain the realisticity. And also of most British monster or gore comedy movie, less the grammar, much of the ironic and the gory blasted bloody scene of people being killed off.
So all in all it is a new look for the movie scene, but most likely not the most likable and might probably fade into some other cult movie category in the end for the too innovativeness and lack of likable factor.






I must say with the vision intact the first time director did a fantastic job.






No big alien invasion scene so don't expect Another Independance Day. but there are some really African or Iraq like alley Battle scene with cool gadgets and machines. must be worn, those who is sufferring from terrorist attacks or war caused PTSD might want to sit this one out.






what would you expect from Peter Jackson....... is the as wacky as a genius as any Jackson we know. Congratulation on another new Blockbuster of the week success
