It's Sunday

Finally the school term is over... it's now the exam break. Thank god everything is over. But I still have to study for my exams.

It's almost time to plan for the holidays... What should I do for my holidays?

Review: Transporter 2

This is worst than The Skeleton Key but I don't know why the crtics gave it a B- while skeleton key got a C-D. I think think movie got a B from the crtics because the good guy is a white.... very obvious... This is very sad.... XXX2 didn't get a good rating because The Ice is black. But XXX2 is better, cause it's got a lot more grove.

Bascially, the movie seems like a Jacky Chan movie. Stunts and animation. The good guy just wouldn't die no matter what. The stunts seem right out of Jacky Chan's old movie.

Good point: Kate Nauta is very sexy.
Bad: Nothing much is a plot.

In Belgium, the 2 smurfs were killed during a bomb attack. Many of the Smurf fled their hometown. Papa Smurf was reluctant to comment on the event. Baby smurf was still crying over the lost of Smurfette.

Sorry for the missing images. I had been trying very hard to insert them but the silly blogspot just wouldn't work.

The Skeleton Key

Just came back from a free preview of The Skeleton Key (courtesy of funkygrad.com). I went into the theater with very low expectations on the show. The reviews from the online movie critics were very negative. I was rather busy with my homeowrk. But anyway, play comes first :)

This is the first time I have watched a movie which shows the unglamourous side of the America. The story was about this young women of 25 years old who started working as a hospice nurse in this old creepy house. They house has got a creepy history of hoodoo (not voodoo, which is a religion).

Thoughout the movie, I knew that there's no ghost in the house. I knew that it's a human behind all these. It's only the second half of the movie that is really scary.

The story comes with a twist. I was so scared that I was in tears after watching the movie. It was my first hoodoo movie so I was scared stiff.

Down side of this movie:
Racist

In comparison with the silly Chinese ghost movies, this movie deserves 5 out of 5.

Rating: 4/5 - 1 for racism = 3/5

Breadtalk

I was quite sick with eating breadtalk. For quite a while, I was buying bread from four leaves instead. But recently, I found two local favours which tasted delicious.

They are:

Banana danish

Nonya cheese (can't really remember the name of this one)

The pandan leaves used to line the bread gave it s unique favour. The banana danish have a very strong banana scent while the nonya bread has the same fillings as the nonya rice dumplings.

The dull dull world of the living dead

Tim Burton's Corpse bride

Just watched Tim Burton's Corpse Bride last Friday. The dull dull color of the living world makes me sleepy. The monochrome screen with ugly people. The obsession with formality of the living is killing.

The color of the dead is enchanting. The funky tune and the silly jokes. It just makes me wonder if I'm better off dead.

The show coincides with my philosophy... the living is worst than the dead... You never heard about 'ghost killings' but I'm sure you have heard of murder by the living.

Raing: 4/5

Butterfly

I wish that I can see the sky once again. Oh how I wish... i remember the times when I have chewy green leaves. Now I'm just tied up in this little chrysalis. It's so tight that I can't breath. I'm so afraid that I will never see the blue sky again. So uncertain about my fate. Will I be a beautiful butterfly or an ugly moth. Maybe I will never get to leave my chrysalis.

How I wish that I can be a caterpillar once again. Chewing freely on the green green leaves. But I understand that I will have to change.
