New Weekend and a happy Lunar New Year to All Chinese Around the World

The other day I just have a look at the new Elizabeth Installation "The Golden Age" and it's a fine great deal. though less struggle than the first installment (which makes Cate Blanchett my muse, the British always have an itch on great indie movie).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Spoiler Ahead~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~








this time there's the spanish war wich the virgin Queen didn't even have to fight to win. of course there is the pirate's duke and her hand maiden. so all and all, it's an epic. and Cate is a gem to look at again....... the acting is simply captivating.



For those movie buff looking for action this is not the drama for you. it is more shaspearean stage show than the one and only Romeo and Juliet actian drama kind. but these kind of movie simply demonstrate dramatic movie influences perfectly tru and tru.



of course if you have watched the TV version of Elizabeth you'll have a bold time with this one. they are both of the same period just different interpretation. It is just as intelligence and well presented as "The Queen" 2 years before.

And now here comes the music review of the week. I've just got tru Blake Lewis of the American Idol Fame last year. the Album is called "Audio Day Dream". just as the Title suggested, you'll take the best trip of your life.


for all Jamiroquai Lover out there that's looking for a younger alternative with an incling of American touch on the mix. he is the guy and this is the album to get to. the Mix and style is a great deal fresher than the J man. minus the 8th track ballad. most of the songs are great discoteque and you can shake you botty off with the first single out Break Anotha. He is fresh, sweet, the sound is smoother and sometimes splash a bit of 54 studio-ish touches. a bit of house and grind-house beatboxing. it is the next new sound with a bit of old style. so enjoy you teens this is your ticket to the disco before the legal age. oh just one comment, the Ballad is a great touch as well. nothing's wrong with it. the Funk is working the Smooth Man

As for those that's looking for a more Corine Bailey Ray Style singer with a male voice.



you can take a look at this guy. Jamie Scott and The Town. He have the same voice as Blake Lewis yet their style is totally on another Hemisphere. Jamie's style are more British-Scottish country style than anything Discoteque. the most disco style he's done you'll have seen or heard that sound on "Step Up" the hit Dance movie of 2006.

both front man likes their Falseto so much they are more seamlessly incorporated into each sound. Jamie took the James Blunt Style and more British-like than american. so it's kinda hard to predict the possibility of him capturing the heart of the American here. but I'm sure with the success of the other Artist he's got a great chance with the world population, with just enough promotion. (when you look at it. what the US of A called unique is kinda Alienating themselves from the rest of the world sometimes.)
