This Week in Treasure Chest

Steel Magnolia is the Cream of the Crop this week.
It's a story about 6 women living in the modern west. They are truly Steel Magnolia. Almost all of them are gossip king. they are humorous and gracious. vulnerable yet strong. they are no Mary of Titanic but they are no dummy blond bomb shell either. Though Julia Roberts didn't give the most impressive performances in this movie but they are at least convincing. The rest of the character was so colorful that you can't resist yourself to go back to "The Golden Age" days.
there's the sassy "enterpernuer", the old slut, the preachy faithful Christian of course, the naive and innocent and the big letter M,"Mom" character, of course who can forget the smart, make sense blond bomb shell portrait by the great Dolly Parton. Sally Field is the ultimate mom.
the story express how ordinary that each lives are and how often we are intervine with each other. in a misterious and patience and loving kinda sense we support each other tru thick and thin. gossip or not, the community is one and every thing is taken care of but one or the other. any disapproval, grudges are merely an expression and we all do care. The outsider are taken in with warm hugs and the stranger becomes the familiar. the hospitality of the western society and the warmth were felt right away. though we are not discussing about racial issue, but within the white community have enough issue that they need to taken care of.
you go tru everything in life you should go tru and feelings that you should possess or aspire in that short 2 hours. life, normal or different, culture, religion, choices, birth and death. and life after that(not the spiritual and karma kind of life after death. i mean Life of the living after the death of love ones.) which is something that i always say, (though the idea was not originally from me) "why must death brings despair and sadness, why can't we all treat is with some respect or hell with a little bit of humor? our loved once would want all us to not be sad when we are gone. we'd want them to remeber us as the good one, the funny one the one that'll always be remembered as the one that bring laughter and happiness and not sadness!?"
and for those who lived on. life goes on. cherish it. live on with pride and dignity. love and happiness. and soon enough we will join our love ones in the Kingdom of heaven.

Movies of the week

We are just getting a little taste of the coming spring with 10000B.C.
the new star on the Boulevard is Horton Hears a Who. the dumbo and the speck just spell humor. if the story not really the kids type, the character are. the colorful Character of the movie simply keeps the kids in their sits. and the story and the reletivity theory and the interaction between Jim Carrey's Dumbo and the whos of Steve Carrell is enough to get adults into the cinema be it brainy type, or the joke seeker type. it's just a funny and brainy movie to watch, even over my expectation. the marry of Dr. Suess and Fox Blue Sky enimation just hit a new high with this one. in every aspect of the combination is great. I guess Jimmy Hayward did a real good choice to leave Pixar. Jim Carrey's and Steve Carrell with Dr. Suess is not at all like any Almight or Grinch at all. well done to anyone on the movie. they are a totally contender for this years OSCAR.

one really interesting movie that i just gone to watch is "The Deaths of Ian Stone"
the story about a character that is chased by deaths and keep waking up alive. the plot is not too bad nor the movie. I give as A- for the lead but not the story. it reminded me of vantage points. too many climax and anti-climax. the audience going into the cinema knows the basic plot of the story already. and the suspense is only at the end of the show and there's not really much to speculate after you've gone to the middle of the movie you'd have guess it. the action isn't really that great, nor is the cinematography or the screenwriting. there's just plenty of losses in interest in the whole story. though the story does gives Mike Vogel a great feature of his talent. it's not exactly B-grade movie. nor has it hit the A-Grade blockbuster either. so sorry. it's great for Mike Vogel but not the movie(the movie did more for Mike Vogel than Cloverfield does). it's like Josh Hartnett in Halloween H20. it's a good movie for the actor but not the show.

This is a Big Big week for news

U.S. Recession has started, the tornado is moving into uncharted territory. first hit to Atlanta, the race for presidency is somehow taking a backsit this week, spring break movies are all hiting bigger blockbuster that previous year this time. and plenty plenty of CDs to choose from this year. AI is heating up with fans shifting a bit to the rockers of the show this year. and some new shows are moving on to the tv screen in the coming April and May after the writer strike. and of course the monk strikes in Laza, Tibet have everyone's eyes on the China's government.

my advice, lower your risk on investment, start saving money, beware of the lowering of interest rate in banking. you still can invest just do it steadily with only your extra momney and do it with patience. the show have not hit the bottom yet. but you are getting houses and some other commodity half the price as it is last year. so you can choose yourself.

everyone, global warming is not a futuristic theory nor are the warning. it's as real as the recession, they are here now. not 30 years late, not "like 'experts' says won't happen in a thousand years" In 30 years there will be no north or south pole, nor half of New Delhi, or Netherland, or Manhattan city. and with the rate of the temporiture rising exponentionally we would likely hit the highs faster than we think. 10 years ago, some dude claim that experts says it won't happen in the next 1000 years. which is a tachtics to get you off their backs and not create a panics really. now everyone should see the real truth, watch an Inconvinient truth and do your part. go to earth911.org to see what you can do to save ourselves. the tornado territory movement is not a coincident. the teritory is spreading as well as the dessert. if the north and south pole do shut down, and the under current of movement of the warm current from the northern Atmesphere from Atlantic to pacific's south atmosphere will really shut down and the days after tomorrow are going to be just a furute reality and not a movie. so everyone we are moving into a real real new territory here. the storm will get bigger and longer and stronger and there will not only be snow or rain, hail will drop and thousands are in danger and heat stroke will not be another headache, it'll become a killer if we don't stop and think now. You don't have to be a greenpeace activist, just do small stuff and preserve whatever you can. parents, my advice, continue your current habit and i'll drop one million dollar on betting your child won't live tru his 60's to see the sun rise. cos by then he'll either be blind or dead by cancer. so do your part. save the earth, save yourself.

I hope that the Chinese government truly can have a deplomatic resolution for the Tibet issue and i hope Tian An Men incident will not happen again. they are you citizen then treat them as one. human being.

and CDs concern look out for the artist that is showing her stuff on the "One Tree Hill" show as Mia, Kate Voegele is the new Michelle Branch and Venessa CArlton. her sound is not the new sound but it's as suitable and the previous mention songstress, sassy and musical if not poetic. so look out for the new gal on the block.

CD Review - Emmy Rossum, One Republic, 30 Minutes to Mars

This months big player in the house is these 3 new born. though most of them are not new. Emmy Rossum has several movies under her belt before she became a songstress in the new adaptation of Phantom of the Opera to the movie screen and gain herslf a record deal. and Jared Leto in the lead of 30 Minutes from Mars and he is definitely no stranger to the teens on the late 90's. One Republic is seemingly new to the entertainment industry but with the reknown producer Timberland behind them, they are surely not so far from the top.

All three acts are in their own league of style.

Emmy Rossum is a totally breath of fresh air into the music industry. being realease last year the album didn't even raise any waves for 3-4 months but her sound is like heaven. she is the new Enya. the new new age. there's no one with the same style nor anyone to compare to. it's like impressionist artist in music but unlike any act before there's no anger nor curses. the reality of her expression is dreamy and soft yet real. there's very little shouting or even huge notes belting. you get a calm yet uncommon feeling towards the sound. she is really brave to be doing a totally unprecedented sound. and some how it work.

next one of course is the new addition to the Rock of fame. 30 Minutes to Mars is the most rock band of the year to me. their screaming crazy hard rock style simply spell devine. I'm sure anyone looking for a new sound in rock this is the one. they are beautiful lyrically, the sound is revolutionary, the highes and lows of the tunes is spot on and if you truly gives your heart to it, you'd find yourself addicted to it. Though I'm not a screaming for any hard metal riock. this is not your old grand father hard metal rock. It's Limkin Park less the hip hop. truly truly one wonder sound to listen to. just take care of you ear drums while doing it will you. there are some really crazy notes in it.

Of course 30 Minutes to Mars is no Tokio Hotel the teens that's looking for real hard rock might go for the Bill Kaulitz lead French Band. they are the Jonas Brothers for Rock Bands and all european girls are hitting on them hard as the US of A are on to Jonas Brothers.

Well, if you are looking for some softer band, mone a side Daughtry, One Republic is the band the year to look for. their sound is softer. but not too soft. they have a bit of a british modern feel to it. not New Age though. the lyrics of the songs a re beautiful and the sound of the lead on it is simply icing on the cake. perfectly smooth and spell-biding. you won't get bands better than this one really. the are best at it's game. (of course every band would say they are the best). the are no Jonas so dun think the teeny winsy fans of cuteness would vote for them. but if you are looking for some great music, that 's not too heavy, this is the right one for this month.

No offends, Jonas Brothers are a big deal, they are the 21st century Hanson. but there are still much room to grow and that's what attracts investers, potential. and wil screaming fans counting by the million if not billion, there's no count in how much they are gonna earn. that aside, their sound is still really teenager. so there's still some great wave to go. mayb they can actually do a Moffatts and have a really dark change...... but i doubt it will happen in the near future. their sound now is right on for the younger audiences. not the older though. I'd recommand them to any teenager in the world looking for the new band of their time. they are the 21st century band of the year for all teenager. no doubt. cos i didn't see anyone yet in comparison this year. there below is a picture for you ladies to drool on (God damn, how come that suits works for Nick and not my prom. HAHA! Guess Star power and fame does have special effect )

Buffett- Oracle CNBC interview

The Richest man on earth yesterday gave an interview with CNBC and this is the main pointer he had mention.

- First thing first is the recession in U.S. have started. people are losing money and selling houses and the currency going lower and oil price is going higher. (I think what he is trying to tell us is that there's not really a lot of spaces to take risk right now.) save money. (though bank interest rate gonna get lower) and bank on your own talent and skills (get a job that means), and you have not seen the bottom of construction related and other industry.

- then if you really want to invest, really have the money, can take low cost, index mutual fund (that's low cost, low risk)

- so which means no hedge funds. and from what i see he is not recommanding any fast rich scheme that's likely to take you no where at the moment

-though people are losing money but people buying houses now (those with extra money one of cors) are buying with half of what the price is last year. (you don't really need to wait til bottom to buy. just need to know you are not gonna earn a lot now.)

- which also means if you want to buy share. buy something that's gonna last, though not gonna win fast money but they are not gonna lose you money in a really long run. cos people still gonna eat chocolate, use gillett and eat bubble gum in the end. just buy some steady share. (but take it at your own risk. cos there are history of market crashes and none of those mention above are there to spare.)

- when asked by a viewer whether he should invest 100% of his interest in Berkshire, Buffett laugh and say he also invest 90% of his money in it only. so that's your answer, never one hundred percent in anything. (My bet buys gold haha)

-oh! one thing is that berkshire move some of his currency policy to Brazilian Real. because he says there's no reason to lose half of the currency value and keep staying in USD. but he is not moving all of it out of the currency.

- that's how you gonna invest. patience. no 100% on anything. and you dun need to predict to win. just need to earn higher than average of cost, interest and inflation to gain. gradually and steadily.

Spiderwick is a great great joy

coming back from the spiderwick premier, there haven't been time to really write my review until now.

It's a good one, some may find it even better than Narnia. but if you are the up tight type that doesn't really interested in children story book. sorry man. it is a children fantasy storybook.

in translation, it's another Never Ending Story, 4th dimention story.

the monster and the house elves and forest goblin is a great story to tell. not an epic movie but nice and cool.

What's the surprise is Freddie Highmore, taking in as Jared and his twin brother. really is a great joy to see a young, young star portraying 2 character with such distinctive style, attitude and behavior. it's just what a great actor are. anything you throw his way, he just pick it up and just go on the road and bring you along.

it's simply a great movie to enjoy with your family.

Homebound American Idol

Yesterday night would be the first big stage show for AI.
with the Big, New Glamorous stage. It's un-nerving for some of the contestant and it's great for some other, which really have blown the Top off

Syesha gave another ordinary performance with a couple mishab at the beginning or the performance and started the show with a rough start.

which is follow by one of the best act of the week, Chikezie, his performance is simply....... wordless to describe. great song, great style, great energy, and great falseto. he straight away jump to the front of the race with this one.

Then of cors is the Ramiele, though i dun wish to discourage the kid but truly once, twice, how many times can a person wait for her to really "do her thing" she's just have to step it up.

the front runner for this week will be David Cook, which gave a very modern, Rock rendition of the Beatles song another great great performance from him. Amanda Overmyerdid her thing and did it better this week. and Carly Smithson is getting even better than before. as xpected all the rock chick rosk the stage with effortless porture.

The hippie clan not doing bad either this week, Jason Castro was his usual relax, lay back style, and somehow on the big stage, his image shines better, as well as Brooke White. though the performance on the piano is a bit ametuer bit, it's still a great effort. though she is too emotion while singing it. so better to stay calm...... it's still a good performance still.

the biggest surprise is of course David Archuleta hickups. forgetting the lyrics, but he regain his posture after getting down from the stairs. but apperently doesn't pleases the judges. he did regain his singing when he is center-stage. but he do sing well, and i believe that he'll got another chance to prove himself. just need to get his nerves off and do it better next week.

of course with David Archuleta starting off the 4 lowest performance of the night, follow by Micheal Johns, he is almost the same there's no mistake makes, just the song choice isn't really that suitable for him. but when he sings, it is almost there, his voice have that power to command the stage. and then there is David Hernandez, the idol just drop of the grid this week. no mishab as well, just another not interesting performance. and of course we come to the last horse on the race. there's not prejudice. regardless of what version of the song is (as i have not heard the original version) this country version of the song sang by Kristy Lee Cook simply spell disaster. I think she is gonna crash and burn. because the whole performance is like a horse chasing the beat and can't wuite keep up. Kristy just gotta have more confidence and do her own thing. whatever pleases her, not do something for Simon sick. just drop the Country thing and do your own thing girl. but i believe tonight she is leaving. but you may see David A with her on the last drup roll tonight. reason: the wow factor of the show. so that people will get interested haha.

so the ranking for this week.
1. Amanda Overmyer
2. Carly Smithson
3. Chikezie
4. David Cook
5. Jason Castro
6. Brooke White
7. Micheal Johns
8. David Archuleta (the ranking isn't really that important, i think the fans will get him tru. he might get the greater vote even with that performance)
9. Ramiele Malubay
10. Syesha Mercado
11. David Hernandez
12. Kristy Lee Cook


************************************Result****************************************
As Predicted, the night's result show with guest star Season 5 Catherine Mcphee accompanied by fame producer David Foster on piano get the result annoucement started.

The losest was as expected as my prediction.
just that audience are fierce. David Hernandez became the first to be axe from the 12 contestants final list. regardless his controversial passes. I do think this have nothing to do with his history. but basicaly comes down to his thin popularity crumble after that last performance last night. although I think Kristy is more likely to go but truly either Kristy or David H. According to last night performance and likability, there are really very little different who's the lowest. Let's hope that Kristy can do Chikezie next week and give the show a good performance.

This Weeks Movie Review

Well, I've only been toone movie this week, of cors it's "10000B.C."

the director have remain the style of "The Independance Day". A lot of Effects and the storyline portion is as if the same as it's previous movies. A lot of Action, a little bit of love and story telling. the base line of the story is as basic as possible. With a bit of sense of humor along the way. that's the successful formula for independance day but i wonder would it be another victory for 10000B.C. because the formula are almost the same, there's almost no surprise. and there's a feeling that it's lack of creativity. It's just the curse of a regular story teller and movie seeker. sometimes when you seen too much of a movie of the same kind you just not that into it anymore. this will be and have been one of the biggest grossing movie this year. the story will be interesting for the new generation that haven't really gone tru the bombartment of Lord of the rings, the Independance day.

so for those looking for the next big movie of the year. 10000B.C. is the one this month.

On the lighter note, I'm going for the Spiderwick this week and it'll be another tru pleasure to watch a movie with less Hero note in the storyline and more of a children story kinda style. it's more like Narnia but less Epic. there could be some surprise in the end but all in all I believe would be a better movie than golden compass. we'll see after i've gone for the movie tonight.

This Week Movie Buff for the pop corn.

there is a really interesting movie by the Cloverfield fame Mike Vogel.
The Deaths of Ian Stone, though it's another querky movie from the star and his married status is a bit of a turn off for dreamy girls. still the handsome, dreamy actor have a certain attraction to the crowd. this is not a bad story, just that mayb too many death for the main character to handle by the young movie going girls out there to watch. but it's great idea for a story to be telling if you know you are going to die and you are going to revive everytime, what would happen and what would you do?

there is a few OSCAR inspired sceening at the cinema at the moment which i didn't really go for it yet because the storyline for these story are too gloom. like "There Will Be Blood","Charlie Wilson's War" and "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead". All are either by some OSCAR winners or the current OSCAR nominee. but all are too close to reality for the moment for me. No Doubt the performance are great. just not my cup of the tea of the month.

Besides that of course there's this small but young action movie that have very little promotion done out this week called Redline. mayb it's just too close to the story of "The Fast and The Furious" to start with that it's drop out of most people's eye sight.


The real buzz of the week with be "10000 B.C." the pre-historic, hero movie, emphasize on the one man story on how in the course of saving his only love one. defying the demand of the human-God and in the end kill the imposter and become the earliest hero in the fictional history. which star the hunkie Covenant star, Steven Strait. plenty of visual and sound effect. it's a effect filled big budget movie that doesn't involve any futuristic backdrop. or shall i say that a prehistoric story witha futuristic hero twist haha. so everyone. enjoy.

one Small but unnoticable movie is the British disaster film Flood. also a visual and audio FX filled movie. just that in imaging and the effects usually from the conventional britain could be a bit too artsy sometimes than realistic. so I'm not really that enthusiastic about it. but if you are into effects disaster films this might be a good choice this week.

There we Have it the New !2 contestant to perform in the Big Stage!

The American Idol Finally have come out with the new 12 Contestant tonight.

Althought Asia'h have perform a great opening for last night show, it's still not enough to cover her Grungy look.

As I've predicted Kady have come to the end of the line for the girls. after Last night 80's performance, actually I can only pen in Kady for the girls. It's still a struggle for the rest of the other Female who will get the dozen nod. and Asia'h is the sacrifice of the week. as Female's performance this year is still uncertain so the contest is pretty Dynamics for the girls.

As for the guys, Luke And Danny is out just as predicted.

Now it's a mix Games. who will go out first from the 12. and normally this is the most unpredictable part of the show. because all votes are going for one of the male or female contestants.
For me the ranking for the Guys and Girls Mix is
1. David Archuleta
2. Carly Smithson
3. Amanda Overmyer
4. David Cook
5. David Hernandez
6. Chikezie Eze
7. Brooke White
8. Ramiele Malubay
9. Syesha Mercado
10. Jason Castro
11. Michael Johns
12. Kristy Lee Cook

Last 2 Contestant actually is lost based on popularity, as for Castor, his performance is a mix of good and bad. Ramiele and Syesha still not performing to the par. and all 2nd-5th rank won with Distinct Style in their performance. Brooke Loses to Chikez on distinct image, not musically related, just not that relatable to the audiences in her performance. but basically they are really great 70's -80's kinda music. As for Chikezie being the only dark male of the group. he's not really up to the expectation of a great black artist yet. so he is in a whole other evaluation bar than the rest.
as for likability, potential and musical talent (not really all aspect is outstanding than the others),all aspect taken into account David Archuleta is the estimated miles away from the rest of the group. but Like Jordan, he may not sale CD but he does sell ratings for the show.

the rest just have to keep up. but from this week's performance. they are not really far off the rank either, for the contestant from Chikezie and above. though there's still some doubt how Carly would perform after last night performance. not her best really. Amanda is gaining a steady climb. So is David Cook and David Hernandez.

That would be all there is for this week AI.

American Idol Updates!!

Well, this week's voting have begun.
This time is a really interesting moment. for the very first time the top Male singer have a shuffle. Trying to hard to actually show a instrumental side. David Archuleta find difficulty in navigating the Piano and the Camera and lost his concertration for a moment. Which given David Cook a lead this time, though he have a little glitches on his instrument but his performance are perfect this time around. this time the 3 Davids have a big shuffle.
with David Cook leading the pack with his consistance rock style and perfect rendition of Lionel Richie's classics, then follow by the much controvercial David Hernandez this week. and David Archuleta tailing at 3rd place. but Tru and tru, David A. It's just a small mishab. you are still the greatest voice of all of them. So makes the show much much more interesting to watch when you have a competitor instead of a one man show. so. David A. Keep up the good work. keep charging on man. one small mishab isn't sucha big deal. you still pull it together and not many of the contestant really have perform surpasses yours.
So besides the 3 Dav in front. the rest of the clan left will be Chikeze. if any of the 3 david really have a contest is chikeze. though the note are graet last night Chikeze performances is not the best since so i give him the 4th place this week. Micheal Johns is the next to come. still the same old same old, not really outstanding. like Simon says, lack of Wow factor. still the rocker though. and the 6th i believe should be in the final 12 is Jason Castro. though without a Guitar last night is a bit of an off-beat act and he's inability to communicate with the musician about the arrangment of he song is a big problem. unless he plans to plan his own music himself the coming performance or got to get tru whatever the synchronization problem he has, it'll hard for him to pull tru after the final 12 begun or even now he is vulnerable. this is the final week before the big final 12. and i believe. Danny have got his chance to prove himself this long and one good performance out of 3 is a strike 3 for me. so sorry. and last 3 out of 3, Luke proves to be the weakest link of the male contestant and if the Vote for the Wrost Clan is not an influence this year, then Luke should be a goner this week. Sorry to say, it's a shame to lose someone with that good looks.

so this weeks male contestant ranking is as (in my opinion)
1. David Cook (Finally the Nasty Rocker Got the Big Freaking Break)
2. David Hernandez (This week's gossip h\king Blown everyone away with hail Note)
3. David Archuleta (Don't Give up buddy, come back with a Bang on the 90's, just be natural, to hell with the camera.)
4.Chikeze (show us some fun next week will you?)
5.Micheal Johns(Rock on Man.)
6.Jason Castro (IF you are not gone this time, try picking up the guitar back, or get going with the musician more will you?)
7. Danny Noriega (Sorry Man, it's just ain't good enough. mayb after much improvement, you'll get to it in other means. just keep improving. Less the Arrogance)
8. Luke Menard (Sorry Man you are too far gone and too soft for a male singer. you need umgh and this should be as far as you'll gonna get.)

As for the Female, as Simon says, none of them actually shines tru at the moment, that is why i still have no pick on the female. many of them have done good work but none were great work. and some with good work comes a couple bad mishab in the pass 2 weeks. I hope this week those who shines could really pop out of the crowd. As I know the good one now is Carly, Amanda, and Brooke (These Chicks Got Style man) and really to me their rank is in that order. and the non-Rocker Chicks Like Ramiele and Syesha is only ok. Remiele I can see can make it into the top 12 but Syesha though with some great Hollywood performances have been pretty dissapointing for the time being. Asia'h Actually gave a good performance last week. I wish that she could keep up the good work this week and mayb she could top the Rocker chick. and these are my top Six female pick. sorry for the pretty blonde this year, Kady and Kristy, you are not so bad, just not really the top nudge material. so the bottom 5 really is a bit shaky at the moment. my pick for this week without today's performance are
1. Carly Smithson (You Rock on Girl)
2. Amanda Overmyer (Great Great rocker voice, and very very unique, even more unique than the Male singer. just need to find that one rock song that could define you.)
3. Brooke White (She's more of a Hippie kinda style Classic singer with a twist, she may be a surprise now with David showing a softer grip on the Title spot.)
4. Ramiele Malubay (Need to choose a more careful song choice that really show off your great pipe)
5. Asia'h Epperson(Keep up the good work girl, just need to gather more momentum with more great song choice.)
6. Syesha Mercado (your need to wail now girl. you are not showing off your talent at all. you are totally underexpose now. and in danger)
7. Kristy Lee Cook (You have some great moment, where have that girl gone to?)
8. Kady Malloy (You just have to work harder this week. you are not safe yet but you are not failing tru totally either.)
wish for the best for all the contestant this week.

another New Week have come and gonna pass YEAH!

well, since I haven't even included my last weeks blog here goes.

A lot of things gonna happen. Primaries for Texas and Ohio have started and Obama still leading the race. Of course the sole survivor of the republic camp trus on with a minor scandal.



and tru the weekend I've gone for 4 movies.

First up is Vantage Point. this one you really have to read the Sypnosis before you go to the cinema man. It's about 8 vantage point of the same incident. so the plot is one incident.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Spoiler ahead ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~






So there's only one incident that probably in normal movie editing would only last for maybe 45 minutes. and so every hour in the movie...... they rewind the scene and you start looking at another person's vantage points. Yes, you get the whole picture and the whole story what's happened and with a whole great cast you'd love to sit tru the movie feel great.

First vantage point is a great shocker, and great performance from Sigourney Weaver, then of course is Dennis Quaid turn, still a great move from the first plot. Fine. but by the time you reach Whitaker and the local Assasins you got so many anti climax that you feel like you want it to just move on with it and get it over with. of course this is one movie besides Cloverfield that people are leaving the cinema before the movies ended. of course this actually fair batter than cloverfield. Though another innovative eeffort from the film maker but sorry just not the ordinary people's cup of tea. though i enjoy the acting and the car chase. segmentizing it makes it great to watch but all together. the setup of the story is just simply not enough momentum to rewind and keep people on their seats. Sorry.



Next stop, Martian Child. I'm so glad that I seen this movie. Just as I expected, It's light hearted. to tell the truth this one is even more suspendful than the 8 Vantage Points combine. and a simple laughter and the relation between a "Martian" with a Man is simply facinating. Truly in the end aren't we all Martian on earth? there's no individual the same. and this kid simply is being the briliant kids that he is, simply provoke thoughts and imspiration. and there's a sense of freesom watching this one.

this is the exact evidence that even a low budget character driven movie can be greater than a big budget action movie.



so I took a rest and gone for the next 2 movies the next day.

first stop would be "The Mist". Yes one of the great horror movie created by the great Stephen King. Fine, that aside. I'm sure that everyone that have read the book would not be going near the movie theatre soon for the movie you know the reason why.

But if you haven't you'd love to go and watch it. it's one of the most facinating horror/ supernatural movie I've seen for years. and still the story is very character driven. Marcia Gay Harden gave the greatest performance of the "Devil Witches from Hell", it's really a great display what stage could fear drive a person or even a community to.

Sadly, the story ended so depressingly, I need to go get another movie straight away to get myself of the psychotic Chronic Depression path. Imagine this, when you thought you are hopeless and all the people are dead and left you alone and when you thought you have no more hope, the rescue "National Guard" have arrive. besides the death of everyone you know and love you lived. -------------------- Do not read on if you truly are planning to watch the movie.



only the plot is hundred times more depressing than that. A great shocker and a twist to the end of the movie but not the nice kind.



So instead of staying miserable for the whole day, i gone into another cinema of the cineplex the next hour to watch the great uplifting "Step Up 2: The Street". The setup and the storyline is not too bad. but with "You've got Served" and "Step Up" still fresh in the mind. "The Street"



isn't really such a new idea anymore and far far of the beat of a new style, it took the same formula of the first movie just put in a few new character and a new storyline. so it's not too bad but it's not fresh and the character really isn't as much developed as the first movie. But stilll the dance move is still as wicked if not better than the first movie. and the cast is fresh.
