夺帅

Another "kill people put fire" movie by Samo after 杀破浪, Donnie Yen the most prominent one missing from this cast. 夺帅 lacked 杀破浪's straight to the point ruthless plot. It tries to add more bite to the story base on a typical HK triad movie, but fails to do so as it was quite predictable and the anticipation was the fighting scenes that was coming.

Samo was the head of the most powerful triad and his business was doing well which his "company" gains thousand of millions of dollars. Simon Yam played his brother who gambled the company wealth's away. And of course the must mention 吴京, one of his hench man who killed people with ease, this time round using his .... "倚天一出 谁与争风". He slashed, sliced, chopped, pierced his enemies in swift and deadly moves. But the CGI elements made it looked fake or wierd, blood spills like "Red Cross" asking for blood, limbs departs from its body as the enemies yells in hell.

In SPL, the police played a more vital role because of Donnie Yen though the team kena killed quite "Texas Chainsaw" massacre way. In 夺帅, the police is more passive as the English name of this movie implies "Fatal Move", waiting for a move that crippled the whole company.

One drug deal became bad as police raided because another triad leak the news to the police. The henchman got caught but his wife has other ideas. She threaten to divulge critical information to the police if she does not get right amount of 安家费, in cahoot with her lover. As usual, both died very "M18". She also got tortured "Saw IV" way before she died.

恬忸 played the wife of Samo who was in cahoot with 阿发 one of the henchman to kidnapp 四哥 and then get the ransom from Samo. They succeed but not for long as Simon found out the truth from his mole in the police. This follow by internal rife and 阿发 died as you might have guess, not very PG.

With all these, have yet seen Samo show his fighting moves. Till the end, because on the good people side, there is no cast capable of fighting him. So till the end, when 吴京 and him were trapped in a warehouse with police surrounding it. They fought !

As 吴京 do not believe he is 天下第一 .... the fight not as good as the ones in SPL. And more disappointingly, the final move that killed 吴京 was censored.

Haiz ... the fatal move that differentiate M18 and R21 ? 7/10

安静



只剩下钢琴陪我谈了一天
睡着的大提琴 安静的旧旧的
我想你已表现的非常明白
我懂我也知道 你没有舍不得
你说你也会难过我不相信
牵着你陪着我 也只是曾经
希望他是真的比我还要爱
你我才会逼自己离开
你要我说多难堪 我根本不想分开
为什么还要我用微笑来带过
我没有这种天份 包容你也接受他
不用担心的太多 我会一直好好过
你已经远远离开 我也会慢慢走开
为什么我连分开都迁就着你
我真的没有天份 安静的没这么快
我会学着放弃你 是因为我太爱你

10,000 BC

Still caught 10,000 BC after all. Within expectation, it was mild, no excitement other than Camille Belle. A young punk who should be playing PSP and watching American Pie and eating upsize ME meals, find his "hunter" path when he leads an army to save his other punks and of course Camille.

Initially, it was only "Sa Er Lang". The mentor/senior/master/whatever, himself and another punk ... but somehow along the way came tribesmen out of nowhere who joined him.

Can't remember their names but all 2 syllabus. And why would they follow him then ? Because he saved a sabre tooth tiger and coincidentally one of the tribe thought he could talk to sabre tooth. The rest somehow then tagged along. Maybe they found out he got some playboy magazines or victoria secrets calenders ?

They need to track to the Mountain of Gods, actually just a big plot of land where the so called "God", enslaved people and made them worked for him ? her ? heshe ? Beats me, didn't really see who or what the so called "God" was.

"God" so called fear some kind of marking that actually is some kind of star sign and it was on the hand of Camille, they were scars like marks on her hand. The guy that was serving the "God" is definitely from New Dehli ... He is too "L" liao.

In the end, "God" decide to tear her apart in public. Abit too late, as young punk already lead his army and even those are enslaved started to fight. But at that moment, the slaves were still afraid of "God", bowing upon appearance. Actually not bow, they lie flat down, face down. To prove that the taller than Yao Ming "God" whom cladded from head to toe was just like any normal person, young punk unleashed the winning "Gold" medal javelin throw for the coming Beijing 2008. 6/10

原来你什么都不想要



我知道这样不好 也知道你的爱只能那么少
我只有不停的要 要到你想逃
泪湿的枕头晒干就好 眼泪在你的心里只是无理取闹
以为在你身后 是我一辈子的骄傲 原来你什么都不想要

我不要你的呵护 你的玫瑰
只要你好好久久爱我一遍
就算虚荣也好 贪心也好
哪个女人对爱不自私不奢望

我不要你的承诺 不要你的永远
只要你真真切切爱我一遍
就算虚荣也好 贪心也好
最怕你把沈默 当做对我的回答
原来你什么都不想要

变一变

我骑着旋转木马 一圈一圈
那环绕着的音乐 耳边
变一变 时间停驻在 旋转间 魔法无边
我好喜欢盪秋千 飞得感觉
那微风吹着吹着 无际无边
变一变 时间停驻在 那一天 魔法无边
有谁想回到从前 有谁想Time多一点
有谁想跳过今天 有谁想忘记从前
有谁想Time慢一点 只要让我变一变 有谁想 .....

三月十八日

I completed 4.3 km !!!

第一诫

Didn't watch 10K BC after all. Caught the horror show, 第一诫. Shawn Yue and Ekin Chen played cops from a police department which handle "杂务", matters where it don't fall into any of the defined police categories. Shawn was transferred there after he killed a serial killer and amid of that he saw the dead victim sitting up from the car boot.

A few scenes are quite interesting ...

The scenes with the their boss where only his chin and mouth area was filmed, main focus was on the food he kept eating while talking to Shawn.

Fiona Xie was cast as Shawn's GF but one strange thing was seemingly known that there are intimate scenes but somehow these are all film at angles which you totally can't see who the person was. And also scenes where she need to be horrifying scary, but with her cutie face, abit contradicting. Not using her original ultra "Tia" voice, like not use to her new voice.

The scenes which were out to scare people was quite well anticipated so nothing much.

But the swimming pool scene was quite good, though thought that more can come out of it to make people grab their armrest, pushed oneself back to the seat, hide behind your neighbours shoulder ( if you known them ), etc.

As the movie gets to the end, it started to put the pieces together though with a minor twist in the end.

It was the dead serial killer who came back for revenge but not a quick one thus leading to a series of weird deaths.

The ending was a "World Largest Ash Tray" ! 7/10

三月十四日

It somehow didn't manage to rain today after relentless and inconsistent raining for days. Actually it was quite hot in the afternoon. A friday seems less energize when you know you have to work on the weekend but still try to make the most out of it.

Highlight of the day was the gal from yakun who gave the 回眸一撇 even though she was with her "brother", though may not mean anything but she was really gorgeous ! Anyway, I had really good nap on the MRT ride, been really long while since I took MRT.

A quick dinner then head off to Zouk ....

Darren Tan, 陈世维, the Superstar winner won this year CLEO Most Eligible Bachelor. Maybe not really win, probably already decided somehow. I am still definitely onto girls but at least a few guys which definitely win him in looks at least. But still, hoards of girls were at Zouk gawking and discussing on their favourite hunk. Almost all of them have 6 packs of some sort, great shoulders and chest.

The members area at Zouk really have some 有钱有势 people, you can just feel it from how they present themselves .... somehow. Among some are "ASK" but most people probably are brought in by the ASK or others. 有钱 may not be the deciding factor, probably you need to be someone as well.

Time for some zzzZzzzzzZzzzzZZZ ...

三月十一日

In between rain rain rain, managed to run after work. The after effect of the sweat it out is refreshing and felt revitalize, problem is getting myself to do that ! Felt like so much things to do and yet not enough time. Just finish 秀才遇到兵, waiting for Prison Break 3 to continue, now watching 和味浓情. Have not yet started on LOST 3, Heroes 2, 太极 and tonnes of movies.

xSteel not a bad game, being free is its best point, just that sometimes get too giddy. Pro Evo Soccer 3 still the best soccer game. Planning to catch 10,000 BC coming friday. Plenty of work in the coming weekends.

Watching 大哥大 on Ch 56 as i write, there is a magic segment where contestant compete in magic. Something amiss among all kinds of competition nowadays, Magic which is something that will amaze and appeal to almost everyone, because it surprises. Whether is that kind of you can guess part of it or those shocking kind. It always interest me, but somehow never really make any effort at it.

康熙来了 coming up !

三月九日/十日

The weekend ended again. When is someone going to change to a 5 day weekend and 2 day weekday ? Or maybe I will find something to do which I really will wake up every morning and enjoy doing every bit of it ? Being watching too much "World's Richest People" and "Europe's Richest People" though I missed today's repeat.

Went down Nissan for my 10K servicing on Saturday morning. Numerous scratches and dirt spot on the car, just felt like giving a new spray of color ! Anyway, cost me $66 coz the guy say use synthetic oil then next servicing will be 6 months later, gave him the benefit of the doubt. While waiting, headed to Rangoon Bak Kut Teh for lunch.

Yes, the famous one ! Open only 6 am to 2 pm. It was good, the soup was wonderful, savoury and peppery, the way I liked it. Though at $5.50, seems pricey. Comparable to the one at PSA but people might be more familiar at the one near Zouk. The PSA one is also peppery but abit less savoury. The other most notable difference is most of the time you have to get your own "加汤" while the PSA one have people going in pots/kettles to give you the "Drink till you peppered to death" soups.

Then was off to IT show which spilled over to 1st flr this time round, though not sure what really was on 1st floor, more like counters for people to collect stuff. 3rd flr was Starhub and Sony territories. 4th flr are all the major stuff while 6th are the accessories. Got a WD ext 500 GB HDD at $150. Wanted to get a 750 GB one but it was $100 more for WD, Seagate or Maxtor, so not really worth it.

Time to get my car and headed for Labyrinth for some pool. Then head to Al Jilani for dinner before heading home to watch Man U, Chelsea losing in the FA Cup. My bet on Newcastle to win was in vain, at odds of 8.75, was worth a punt.

PC still having the problem, due to the crap casing I got last time. Quite a miracle it even sustained till now. So went down today to get a decent one, after few rounds of KLKK, decided to get the Cooler Master Centurion 534, $79 !

The reinstall and rebuild took about 10 hours ! Still on-going as I write ... CM casing really not bad, tool-free installation and quite simple. Time to laze in bed and finish my Spurs vs West Ham game :)

Meet the Spartans

It was Epic movie last year which spoof everything else in a backdrop of Narnia. This year's spoof of everything in a backdrop of 300. It was typical "Scary Movie", "Epic Movie", "Date Movie" style of physical comical action, jokes and spoofs. Not that I do not like such movies but seems a bit disappointing ... Don't know why wor.

A short movie. Under 80 mins if not for the ending meaningless scenes of independent continous spoof after the credits. Some scenes are quite hilarous though like the one where they march off to battle in dancing moves in "I will survive". Men in Sparta kisses each other while men and women hi-fi, actually only 1 woman, the Queen which spoof into the "Dark" Spidey.

The Pit of death saw almost everyone fell into it.

The first was of course the messenger who managed to get some lips+tongue action with the Queen before he was kicked in.

The spoof of the AI judges was quite funny though they went into the pit too. As more and more people fell into it, it seems overdone.

Deal or No Deal, Next Top Model were spoofed in Spartan style.


Talking about overdoing it, almost all the moves from WWE RAW and SmackDown were seen when the King taught his son to be tough "Scary Movie" style.

The fat bastard from Borat was the Godly Zeus which provide the extreme "Scary Movie" difference. He was over-piecred all over the body and can feel the pain when his nipple "peel" off when he tried to do something to that chain, but manage to literally staple it back though !!!

Spartans don't fight in this movie, they danced if off and insult their enemies. The insult scenes got abit boring as the scripted "Your mama was so ugly that ...." type of jokes wasn't that funny if you don't really understand the underlying sacarcism. And they even got a Coffee Bean stop out in the battlefield.

In the end, the luckiest guy was the one who was send back to deliver the news. He got caress the Queen's boob as he was "Eyeless" after the battle. The 13 Spartans were killed when the transformer where Zeu turned into fell on them :) 6/10
