Heroes returns April 23rd

2007-04-06T16:39:00.000+08:00

The long break for Heroes is nearly over, peeps!

Heroes episode 19 “.07″ will be the beginning of the end for Volume one of, what has been, one of the best TV series in recent memory.Unfortunately the series is only 23 episodes long, and as much as I wish it were longer, I really want to see how everything ties together and comes to an end.

Here's the spoiler.

Or watch the images slideshow.

Heroes returns April 23rd.

Back in Prison

2007-04-06T16:13:00.000+08:00

I'm back and Season 2 of Prison Break ended not so long ago. And ahh.. the ending.

So what's install in the next season? One of the brothers will be in prison, but not in the United States (as if that wasn't obvious if you've been watching the show lately). Again, this is a great idea and I wouldn't be surprised if next season was the best yet.

battle royale remake

2007-01-13T21:20:00.000+08:00

read this, this, this and this.

it's official. there will be a remake of battle royale.

oh the horror.

hollywood is going to kill another classic.

in case u've been living inside a cave over the years, battle royale is a brutal and often terrifying film that became the latest in a long line up of controversial films to be shown on big screen. definitely not for the faint hearted.

the story:

A high school class gets sent to a deserted island for a Battle Royale. The government has decided that teens are too rowdy and it would be more fun watching them kill each other. Their mission, whether they like it or not, is to kill or be killed. The last person alive wins. Such is life.

right now, there's little to no information about the remake. but forum over here posted up a cast prediction topic. someone suggested Samuel L Jackson to play kitano which cracks me up.

maybe the olsen twins could star and there could be a dramatic scene where they're pointing guns at each other. then hayden panettiere (the rapid tissue regeneration girl from heroes) could throw a hand grenade at them while lindsay lohan knocks her over the head with a frying pan...

hey, that will be fun to watch.

i will keep you posted.

i'm all psyched about psych & heroes

2007-01-09T10:38:00.000+08:00

it's cliched, but hey: i'm psyched about psych.

here's the premise: shawn spencer, a "fake psychic detective" with a photographic memory, has finally found a purpose in life: helping the police (often against their will) solve cases, all the while making the "real" detectives look incompetent. what i love about Psych is that no one takes themselves seriously. it's lightweight crime cum comedy show, it's lovable and you won't be able to turn it off.

up next... heroes...

move over lost, cause heroes is here!

how many times and how many ways can i say that this show totally rocks my socks? i actually don't know what to write except that, this is how you should end a mid-season. unlike the stupid shit that lost season 3 served up. there is really no reason to watch lost anymore. 55+ episodes into it's run and lost still hasn't answered the vast majority of those questions, while still shoveling new questions onto the pile.

for those who was kept in the dark, heroes is about a handful of individuals across the country who have special powers: two brothers with powers, one who chooses to accept his, to do the right thing, while the other chooses to deny it, as it's discovery could ruin his political aspirations; a cheerleader with regenerative powers to rival even those of wolverine (!!); a young man from japan with the ability warp space-time, just to name a few. who being drawn together, find their lives are interconnected, as they try to prevent a nuclear disaster that could destroy all life as we know it!

so expect less updates as i indulge in psych & heroes. and, remember: "save the cheerleader. save the World!" (wtf does it suppose to mean???!!!).

ps: here's something funny- Heroes Kicks Lost’s Ass: And Here’s Why

from a red paper clip to a house

2007-01-07T21:56:00.001+08:00

once in a while, someone or the other comes up with such a simple yet extraordinary idea that it leaves everyone thinking "wow! Thats amazing. why didn't that idea occur to me?".

in case you haven't heard or read him, i'm talking about idea behind One Red Paper Clip (trading up, item by item, from a red paper clip, eventually hoping to get a house).

head over to wikipedia or his blog to read how kyle macdonald bartered his way from a single paperclip to his dream home in which he now lives in Canada in a series of trades spanning almost exactly one year.

or start swapping now over here and start your little bartering adventure like this guy.

who knows, you might get lucky.

be a film producer. the 1 second film

2007-01-06T21:08:00.001+08:00

from wikipedia, 1 second film is a 70mm animated film that's just a second long. that's right, a second long.

The 1 Second Film is a non-profit collaborative animation project that brings together thousands of people around the world as supporters in the hopes to raise money for the Global Fund for Women. The film has over 6,600 producers and counting.....

simply put this way, donate $1 or more and get listed as the producer(anyone can become a producer of the film, and yes, that means you as well!). the film, shot in 70mm, will feature one minute (24 frames) of animation consisting of two frames each of 12 images. The images will be created by an expected 100+ participants who will gather the night before the shoot. the rest of the movie? 90 minutes of credits (wtf).

the real goal of this is to raise money for a charity, The Global Fund for Women.

it's a clever use of the internet, reaching thousands of people and giving them an inexpensive way to get something fun: producer credit in imdb! if you join as a producer by contributing as low as $1 via Paypal, your name and site link will be added to the imdb movie database as a
producer of this film. infact, some prominent hollywood celebrites have already turned up the support the film. imaging yourself working with Tim Burton, Ewan McGregor, Steve Buscemi, Danny DeVito, Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, and many more.

donate now and get featured as producers of the moment. and do leave a comment or tag if you did donated.

music. ost of sinking of japan

2007-01-03T10:57:00.000+08:00

the movie "sinking of japan" is only so so, but it's original sound track, keep holding u, is entirely different story all together. the song was played twice in the movie and was sang by sun min and toshinobu kubota.

and there's another korean version of the song which is also sang by sun min and the male vocalist is shin hye sung.

since i prefer the later version, here the download link of the mp3. im so nice kan?

movie. sinking of japan

2007-01-02T13:45:00.001+08:00

natural disasters. tsunami. earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. people dying. it's like deja vu all over again. *cough* the day after tomorrow/ deep impact/ armageddon *cough* only that this movie sucks so bad it makes all the films mentioned earlier, look better.

the movie starts off with a bang. but it didnt hold my interest long enough with all the documentary-like effects (hey, it's like watching discovery channel). The acting of the characters are so-so la but they tried their best at least, plot is expected but who can blame them making a predictable story. and what cracks me up is the almost-going-to-have-sex scene. wtf.

the explanation of why japan is sinking in this movie was done in the most uninteresting manner that unless you have a passion of geography, you probably won’t pay much attention to those craps. but i must give the movie some credits as it managed to stir come discussion over imdb about if japan is going to sink. lol.

i miss the godzilla and ultra man era.

p/s: i've been listening to the OST of the movie- "Keep Holding U" by SunMin thanX Kubota in loop. great music.

watch the mv via youtube.

reality show. playing it straight

2007-01-01T14:24:00.000+08:00

for those who have missed it "Playing it straight", was a dating show, with a twist. one girl, type: extremely stupid, asked FOX to set her up with a man. FOX said "Sure! But we’re gonna make it a bit harder for ya!" and instead of getting men that really want her, they get a bunch of men of which a certain number is gay. wtf.

it's like this, a single girl, jackie will be dating with 14 single guys where 9 of them are actually gay while the rest of the 5 are straight. if a gay guy wins her heart at the end, that guy will take away US$1 milion leaving jackie empty-handed (awwww). but the guy she chose is a straight guy, jackie will split the prize with the straight guy.

the girl was allowed to test the guys (who looked like they all almost got the cowboy gig in the village people) by making them do things and observe. so the men were expected to run away from horses (running, that one thing gay men famously cannot do!), kiss thegirl (kissing women without throwing up and running around screaming, that other thing gay men famously cannot do!) and chopping wood (insert own joke here, use at least one reference to "wood").

watch the trailer via youtube.

now, if you’re American you probably didn’t know all that, because the show got cancelled in the u.s. after only one episode. that’s right: "Playing it straight" was that rare piece of crap even americans really didn’t care about.

watch worthy: */*****
