Weekend updates and a few movies watched

The market is a little boring so I thought I’d write a bit about the last few weekends. I’ve not updated much lately. I’m slowly going into a routine over here. With weekends spent mostly doing some shopping, eating, movie going, relaxed visits to the pool and watching my favourite sitcoms (Two Men and Half […]

Ghost bullshit

Kind of slow day with just one position left open. So I’m watching Ghost Rider. The promos looked silly but I thought maybe Nicholas Cage did something decent with it. Alas, no, it’s total crap. One of the worst movies I’ve seen lately. He must have sold his soul to have to make this movie […]

Thriller

This is absolutely brilliant. A video of 1,500 plus inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Cebu, Phillipines. There’s a reason why virtually *every* entertainment band in major Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand outing establishments is from the Philippines.

It turns out the fictional hero wears this watch in all his adventures and there’s quite […]

Blood Diamond

I finally watched Blood Diamond over the weekend. I didn’t expect much from the movie as I’m not a big DiCaprio fan. But I ended up enjoying most of it and also being surprised at DiCaprio’s acting skills. The movie itself is loaded with cliches and repeats some of the main themes over and over […]

300

Wah this 300 movie looks really nice. I used to read heaps of Ancient Greek themed novels a few years back. My favourite at that time was The Ten Thousand. Can’t wait to watch this although I might get quite disappointed if the historical accuracy of events, warfare, equipment etc. was compromised.
