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

NEWSIES : Ain't it a fine life?
Permanent link ▫ ▫  
That is the title of one of the catchy tune from the movie that really bombed years ago but getting a revival through DVD sales and very dedicated fans, NEWSIES starring a very young Christian Bale (see also this awesome website, and if you don't know who he is, he's the new Batman) and some other actors whom I recognise but can't name. Why is it a fine life? Let me tell you something unbelievable.
Ok, maybe not that unbelievable. Anyway, what's so unbelievable? I have been downloading like crazy using Limewire and I found a huge 800 plus MB file called NEWSIES.AVI. I thought maybe just a large clip from the movie so I downloaded it. Took me 24 hours, and thank God I have Streamyx if not I will be pokai. Anyway, halfway through I hit the preview button and I saw the Disney logo and the very beginning of this movie. I thought wow maybe it's the entire movie?
Guess what? IT IS THE ENTIRE MOVIE. I was so happy I posted this post at Pearl's website, since she's a big Newsies/Christian Bale. I mean yeah you can download Harry Potter movies and what nots but who would post the entire Newsies movie in Limewire? Well somebody did and thank you to this somebody. Believe me, I would have bought this DVD if I could find it but I couldn't, forcing me to resort to such highly unethical but bloody satisfying method. The quality is exactly what you'll get in your DVD copy. Problem was burning it into my DVD and my DVD could not hold the entire data (since it must be encoded into I think .vob format which is more than 4.7GB) so I had to choose the lower quality which came to 3.8GB. I was afraid the quality may be not so great but I watched it via my BIG TV and well well well, sound quality and movie quality all simply great. And I think that may be because the original file is of course original quality. Now I have my own Newsies DVD! I plan to make my own Newsies CD since can't buy it here and the songs are great. You can download most of them using Limewire whilst I posted some in my previous post. I am however unable to download the following probably because the Limewire hosts may be sleeping or something. If you have the following or know where I can get them, please post them using POST A COMMENT ...
- Prologue
- Ain't it a fine life (full version)
Note : Strangely can't find this title on the soundtrack list. And the version I have just suddenly cut off towards the end so I am looking for the full version if there is one.
- Seize the Day (Chorale)
- Santa Fe (Reprise)
- Rooftop
- The World Will Know (Reprise)
- Carrying the Banner (Finale)
- Escape from Snyder
What about the movie you ask? Well it's a fun interestingly cute and yet very entertaining musical. The acting is great, singing is good, dancing is minimal but passable but the choreography a bit messy and a bit too crowded but the story is good although Disney-ish. It didn't deserve to be trashed the way it was and would be great to watch it on the big screen. I am not going to lie to you; I watched it for Christian Bale and I found myself simply drawn to his presence along with at least 2 other young actors whose name I can't name right now but will write them in my review if I feel like writing one. He's very watchable and think about this; a musical? But it worked. In fact I liked this better than Moulin Rogue and the overly praised Chicago. I mean this movie depended on the young actors and believe me, story may be patchy but acting wise, they delivered. So yeah, I enjoyed it, despite what was written and the sniggers I got from my sister like "Christian Bale again? Don't worry, that phase will pass". My dear sister, a good movie is a good movie no matter what and well, Christian Bale just made it better. The phase may pass but believe me, not for a very long time. I appreciate great actors, Jang Dong Gun, Christian Bale and potentially great actors like Shaun Chen. Phase passes or not, a great performance deserves to be watched and publicised. Ain't it a fine life? Indeed, thanks to Limewire, it is. I got to watch the one movie I wanted to buy but couldn't buy. I could even bloody download American Psycho but nope, I prefer to pay RM80-00 plus to buy it. I will always buy the movies I want to keep but my friends, when you can't buy, what do you do? Well, quite simply, LIMEWIRE it!
