Hellboy II : The Golden Army

Hellboy II has certainly exceeded its predecessor with its precision visual effects, CGI, concrete plot, humorous characters, quirky lines & its splendidly imaginative monsters! The fact that the humor part is injected throughout the movie makes it totally enjoyable. The action scenes was just as good.

I was kinda sad that at the end Prince Nuada & Princess Nuala ............ (spoiler!!!) My spotlight is on Prince Nuada, not your typical kind of bad guy. His motivations are noble but done in a tragic way. The chemistry between Abe & Princess Nuala are so innocent & pure, Im in awe~ haha. Johann Krauss is annoying... at first. The 'Troll Market' amazed me! Remarkable level of detail in every corner.

Can anyone let me know where I can get that song 'Can't Smile Without You', a duet by Abe & Hellboy? It will totally rock my day! :D

Have you watched it? No? What are you doing here?! Go & watch it already!

The preview of this movie is certainly nicely done. After watching it, I felt being cheated? I have high expectations for this but this movie is like meh~ Poor execution, lame plot, lack of originality, vain effort to be funny & failed to be exciting or intriguing beyond it's setup. It's a shame that they have big stars, big budget & good ideas but failed to impress.

Peter Grant

Listened to 'Spooky' on radio & I thought it was Michael Bublé!
He sounds so hauntingly like Michael I swear!
He's only 21!
Not that the age matters, but I always thought jazz are for people over 30 (Don't stone me ok, over 30ish peeps!)

Okay I gotta admit this.
I'm starting to love jazz too! Thanx to Micheal!
Yes, me, the pop, rock, alternative, r&b, reggae, trance girl & ..... jazz ....? (so wrong right??)
Our love affair started when I accidentally downloaded Michael Bublé's album. ( now you all know where I got my music from =_=)
Skeptical at 1st.
But one listen & I'm hooked.

So back to this cutie pie... (did I mention to u Peter is a cutie pie??)
I listened to his old album 'New Vintage' & wow!! (no luck with downloading his new album 'Traditional' yet..seed this plz people!)
Very refreshing, relaxing & soothing.
His voice, so smooth & sexy!
I can imagine having 'romantic moments' with him singing in the background aye!
Candlelight dinner okay, what were u thinking =_=;

Go & check him out! www.peter-grant.co.uk

Now ogle!

Seducing Mr. Perfect (2006)

Oh how I love Korean chick flick!
This is your typical staple of chick flick.
An enjoyable watch.
The eye candy, Daniel Henney is definitely a big bonus!
How come I've never come across this hottie before? 1 word... Wow! & *jaw dropped*
His lines is the best English dialogs I've ever heard in a Korean movie before!
No it's not the dialogs.
It's the way he talks.
So charming & sexy...
I would die a happy girl listening to him reading me Yellowpages.
But, his acting seems stiff in some scenes.
On the other hand, the leading lady, Uhm Jung-Hwa, shines more in the acting department.
Oh well...
My Mr. Perfect has to talks like Daniel Henney, gotta have at least 95% of Daniel Henney looks, as charming as Daniel Henney, as sexy as Daniel Henney, as serious as Daniel Henney, as loving as Daniel Henney... blah blah blah
Okay Im dreaming...

Emo Mode (not mood)

Life is full of people with deceptions & lies,
all hiding behind a mask.
Sugar coat you even though you can clearly see their shortcomings.
You let it go, suppress yourself from the warnings, hypnotize yourself into believing that it's not what it seems and continue to live your life in a masquerade.
Just when you thought you have the carte blanche with your own life,
quite often it doesn't happen that way.
Damn emo.
Low point... low point...

Sometimes life seems too quiet
Into paralyzing silence
Like the moonless dark
Meant to make me strong

Familiar breath of my old lies
Changed the color in my eyes
Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by

Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hope for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me

Left alone with only reflections of the memory
To face the ugly girl that's smothering me
Sitting closer than my pain
He knew each tear before it came
Soon He will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by

Sorrow last through this night
I'll take this piece of You
And hope for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As You flew right through me

And we kiss each other one more time
And sing this lie that's halfway mine
The sword is slicing through the question
So I won't be fooled by his angel light

Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hope for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me
And up into the stars

Joy will come

Sorrow - Flyleaf

The Bank Job

The Bank Job is inspired by the infamous 1971 robbery that took place at the Lloyds Bank in London. Robbery, corruptions, royal & politician sex scandals, militant drug lords, undercover MI5 agents all rolled in one.

Well acted (thumbs up for Jason Statham!), highly entertaining, spectacle of ingenious larceny & truly thrilling!... the part where the cops wanted to check the vault got my heart skipped a beat...phew~

Codex Seraphinianus

This book has been dubbed as the weirdest book in the world!
The Codex Seraphinianus is a book written and illustrated by the Italian architect and industrial designer Luigi Seraphini during thirty months, from 1976 to 1978.
Illustrations in Codex seems like a surreal parody, a perverse reflections of our own world.
The writings itself are presented in an obsure alien language.

Some illustrations from Codex

Now that's WEIRD!

ps: Let me know if you wanna get yr hands on a copy of Codex coz' I've got it! It's in PDF format :)
