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].
PERSONAL FAVOURITES
There are 3 sections in
here that contain my
personal favourites of
all kinds.
THE DDGs [COMMENTS
& OPINIONS] which
features specially made
websites by myself with
info & all related stuff

stars I like to talk

Short Reviews (Movies)
Permanent link ▫ ▫  
Some short reviews which I won't be posting in the longer and more complete format.
50 First Dates (Eng)
Except for the super gross walrus vomit scene and every scene involving the vulgar looking Rob Schneider, I actually enjoyed this rather bittersweet and romantic love story. I think the performances are all good though I can't believe that Sandler is a womaniser, Romeo and a lothario. Drew Barrymore is very sweet and charming in here. What I love best about this movie is not the idea that you have to woo the woman you love every single day for the rest of your life, but the fact of who is wooing her. Sandler plays the ultimate playboy who has a commitment problem because he wants to sail the world one day and relationships will not be the reason to tie him down. But one day he met the ultimate dream woman; someone who will never remember you the next day (due to a horrific accident she has short term memory loss, she remembers the past but lives forever in the cycle of the day before she met the accident). But what if this playboy wants more? What if he really wants to settle down with this woman, to love her and to marry her? The problem then is she can't remember him the next day! It's pretty sad, and I find the ending touching but appropriate. To wake up knowing years has passed and you have a loving husband and a daughter may be traumatic in reality but on screen it makes for a very romantic end.
Rating
I am going to give this movie a  because it is probably one of Sandler's best movies. Do watch it.
Kill Bill Vol 1 [Eng]
No Bill in here, just a sinister figure. I must admit this movie is very very violent but because it is shot in such a spoofing of so many styles way, and when the gore becomes way too much the screen becomes black and white (so you won't see the colour of the blood but you will see enormous amount of blood splashing out of a body). I find the violence necessary, tastefully done and very interesting to watch. I especially like the flashback story of O Ren Ishii's childhood. The anime is very very violent and there is even one scene which has the 11 year old O Ren on top of an old Yakuza having sex when she basically cut him open in a way. If that was filmed in real life with real actors, that scene may be too much for the viewers but because it is filmed anime style, it feels surreal and yet very artistic. However I find the ending of O Ren a bit too anti climatic because after watching The Bride killing dozens of men in the hotel and then seeing them both walking round and round in the backyard with the snow as backdrop, it was not what I expected. The cinematography is excellent though. The performances are very good generally though I never liked Lucy Liu. I find her whispering her lines annoying and she could have brushed up on her Japanese. Uma Thurman, I pity her because her role in here is either kicking someone or (most of the time) being kicked. Her fighting isn't very good as I find The Matrix gang much much better. But she worked hard, she doesn't mind looking like she was kicked by 50 men and having been punched, shot at, pushed around, slahsed ... come to think of it what hasn't her character been through? And that was only Vol 1. After so much violence, I did feel a bit numb by it all but that doesn't mean this movie doesn't interest you at all. I remember giving Vol 2 a 4 1/2 stars out of 5, because the story there was I admit has far more substance. But I feel if this movie is seen as a whole it is an artistic and great storytelling achievement though logic would be wasted in these movies. I especially liked the starting scene with the Shaw Brothers logo. Quentin Tarantino definitely watches loads of movies.
Rating
Therefore so as not to belittle Vol 2 as I was tempted to give this movie a perfect 5 out of 5, I have decided to be a bit more consistent and give this movie a brilliant  . Definitely a must watch but leave the kids out of the living room for the day.
