There is a FAQ [MAIN] database in this website where you will find info on how to link to this website, answers to some tech problems found in pages within this website as well as a great feature where you can post questions in relevant categories & I'll answer them. Try it out!


SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind. For your convenience, I have posted a list of posts which I thought is pretty informative in my own way that you might find interesting. The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.


OFFBEAT STUFF

There is this one section in here that features offbeat stuff that are not entertainment based. The section is known as FUNN STUFF [COMMENTS & OPINIONS].

Short Movie Reviews & Commentaries 
Permanent link Post a Comment

SPIDER-MAN 2
Is it Spiderman or Spider-Man?

Anyway brief verdict. Love the opening credits.

Awesome. Better than first part, more emotions, more drama and half of New York knows he is Spiderman! Love that train scene and how he fainted and all. Great performances though I can't understand what's that big ball of fire is for. I know what's the octopus hands are for but that big ball of fire? Nope, don't understand. Love the ending for MJ and Spidey but poor best friend, now the Green Goblin. I think madness does run in the family.

Rating
. The costume looks great but the girls screaming at the top of their lungs looking at the camera is just plain silly which is why it's not perfect.

HARRY POTTER & THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN
Love the visual grandness of it, new director injected the Hogwarts I have always imagined it to be but the scriptwriter, eeessshhhh...change him! change him! Performance wise, some were great, most were wonderful, Emma Watsonwas simply horrible. Story wise, I can't recognise this story at all! So many many many mistakes or lack of story! I blame the scriptwriter, not the director. More in my upcoming review.

Rating
, simply because I love Harry Potter, and this is the best of the three but frankly story wise, it screwed up BIG TIME. Again will elaborate in my review.

KILL BILL VOL 2
Did anybody see Kill Bill Vol 2? Also awesome. I love the part about Pai Mei and how Uma Thurman could escape from that coffin. Awesome again. BUT one movie mistake. She was shot by a shotgun right? What happened to that big bullet wound? She seemed to live after almost dying so many times!

AWESOMEEEEE!!!

Rating
, for its vision, Pai Mei's part, the ode to so many types of movies and Quentin is really a genius.

ALEXANDER
Saw the trailer, Colin Farrell looks weird with that blonde hair. Now every battle scenes reminds me of LOTR! But it was interesting though. Anyway what is so attractive about Colin Farrel? How do I spell his name anyway?

Rating
Unrated as haven't seen it. Coming in November 2004.

KING ARTHUR
Pure nonsense. Now Guineverre is the Warrior Princess? Am I the only one who thinks Kiera Knightley, decent English girl but overrated as an actress? She does not have that poise, that elegance to be princess and even Elizabeth Bennett. Again all battle scenes reminds me of LOTR or a poor cousin of it. Make that very distant cousin.

Rating
Unrated but I don't plan to see it anyway.

PASSION OF THE CHRIST
I hope I got the title right. Saw it in VCD, pirated. Frankly I can't understand why on Earth they all speak foreign language when they could have just do everything in English?? Jim was great, the movie was too long, too sentimental, and though very bloody, I do think the blood was necessary. I mean Jesus actually went through all that. First time see him fall, I almost cried, second time my heart broke but every minute see him fall is like eventhough real life could have been this way, in movie-dom it's boring. I know, lightning strike Funn but it's true. It's too long winded. The ending was horrible. Movie wise, it's an eye openeer but too long, too long. I was hoping to see how the people were affected by his path of torture but everybody abandoned him, I though my my my, poor Jesus, all alone.

Anyway, Malaysia may screen the movie, and I believe heavily censored so I would think why waste our time? Just ban it. And reportedly, it will only be shown in selected cinemas and to Christians only. So I guess I wil have to carry my cross to the cinema like Jesus did along the street???? And mind you, there are Buddhists, Atheists, Satan worshipers, money worshipers, Hindus, yeah Muslims. I mean what is our government afraid of? It's not a movie about religion, it is a movie about the final hours and the helplessness and uselessness of humanity in the eyes of one man, who so happened to be a religious figure. I say show to all and show it all or don't show it at all.

Anyway, not that great a movie. Profound in the disturbing sense but not great in terms of movie making. I thought LOTR 3 was more touching and sad in some ways. Yes I am not a Christian but it's not because of that fact that I diss this movie, it's because as a viewer, some 1 hour into the show I was quite sick of it. I guess that was the desired effect, sick of it all.

Rating
, any lesser I could be denied entry into Heaven when I pass over but anymore I will still be condemned to hell because I lied against my good conscience. Not a bad movie but watch it for the reality of it, not for the movie part of it.

Troy
Saw this some time ago. Handsome men, my favourite, Hector and also Odyseuss (? spelling ?). Favourite performance? Sean Bean, so little screen time but did so much in his acting. Brad Pitt was ok and Eric Bana was ok though I love Eric Bana. Battle scenes like LOTR again. But the dialogue was what killed my interest. Juvenile and totally not so that era! But when Hector died, my interest in the movie died with him. Nice hair though. And did anyone watched the pirated DVD version? Switch on the subtitles and believe me, this has got to be the best comedy ever!

Rating
because of Sean Bean and Eric Bana and that awesome one on one fight scene. If not I would have given it half of what I am giving it now.
