Faith rarely calls upon us on a moment of our choosing

I watched Transformers : Revenge of The Fallen at Summit USJ last night. I haven't been there in ages. But i really didn't regret going there. Although Summit is practically dead compared to Pyramid and 1U, but GSC is 2 times better than TGV. The movie was great, awesome cars, awesome-er robots, hot girls, this movie had it all.

I think Michael Bay did a good job at making it a action-comedy-romance movie. The action part definately checked out because of the really really really cool robots flying all over the place. There were parts which were confusing due to Autobots and Decepticons all looking the same and there were no attempts at all to introduce the new robots. Did anyone even notice who was Arcee, Ravage, or Sideswipe? The only robots tat did get actual screen time were the twins Skid and Mudslap who were absolutely hilarious and Devastator who didnt really need an introduction ( it was the one "remodeling" the pyramid).


As for acting, i could never really comment on how good someoen acts or how bad. Shia Labeouf still looks like a small kid only taller but i wouldn't choose anyone else to play Sam Witwicky. Megan Fox.....no explainations needed. The new guy, Ramon Rodriguez who plays Leo is another actor thrown in there for the comedy factor along with John Turturro who played Agent Simmons in the 1st movie.

I highly recommend this movie to everyone. The effects were great although the plot may be hated by some, I found it rather creative. And i think Michael Bay made a smart choice by creating his own stories and not following the originals. This will give him space to make any sequel he wants. And the fact that he closed up every movie, he can start a new 1 very easilly. There has been a rumor that a Transformers 3 is in process but if it is, the air date will only be in 2012.

Sorry, couldnt resist....

Death of a star

As most of you have already heard, Michael Jackson, The King of Pop, has passed away in a hospital in LA due to cardiac arrest. We all know him. We all at some point worshiped him. We all felt it was a waste as we heard all the bad publicity. Many singers have rised since his prime. Many has tried to copy his moves. But none had that certain edge. None had a flair we all wanted. None of them were MJ. His name shall live on. From the small 11 year old singing with his brothers like it was the time of his life, to the master of the moonwalk leaving people in awe. From Thriller to Beat it. Smooth Criminal. Black or white. Heal the world. Bad. All greats just to name a few. Nobody could ever capture our hearts the way Michael did. And therefore i bid you good luck in your afterlife while we, the people you mesmerised continue to worship and respect for you and only you can be our true King of Pop.

Arguably my favorite Michael Jackson song. Not many of you will know it. But it was the 1st MJ song i heard as far as i can remember.

Whats up?


I havn't updated in awhile. That's because i have nothing much to update about. I recently watched Princess Protection Program. I have been waiting for this movie since some time last year. When i heard in stars Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez, i just couldn't resist. The show was not bad. Typical Disney ending. I'm glad Demi was chosen to play the princess because I always thought Selena does an excellent job at being the average-teenage-girl who doesn't care about what people thinks for example Wizards of Waverly Place and Another Cinderella Story. Their chemistry as best friends definately helped the show.

Another thing i found was a new album released by none other than Kate Voegele who plays Mia Katalano in One Tree Hill. I was a fan of her 1st album and now starting to like this album too. Its called A Fine Mess and it offers the usual taste of mixed emotions in the song lyrics.

What happened here? Judgement day happened

Yesterday was a great day. I woke up at 10 and met with the guys from Stingray around 11. We went to Pyramid to supposely watch Night at the Museum 2 but delays and other reasons we didn't get to. So we ended up watching Terminator : Salvation. I think its kinda ok if you're into that action explosions and guns kinda thing. Just take note of this, if you're a terminator fan and intend on watching it due to the intense hunger for a terminator story, do not watch this. A review in the papers described the show as ''not a terminator movie with action. instead an action movie with terminators''. I totally aggree. I think the starting plan for the movie was just to blow stuff up, the terminator name was merely a gimmick to get people to watch it. But still if you want some cool stuff flying around, go for it.

After the movie we decided to spend 2-3 hours in red box. Which was really awesome. It turned out quite cheap and we got a really big room for the 10 of us. Most of us sucked but thats the fun of karaoke right? I think all of us had a blast. And if that wasn't enough, 9/10 of us went for land training yesterday. 1 person didn't go and we still are yet to find out why. It was a fun day and one of the best outings ever.

Magic and the mystery

A few days ago a new disney movie called Hatching Pete premiered. It was a fairly good show. Disney has made several teen high school movies have the same kind of feel and i hope they continue. A typical disney cast starred with Mitchel Musso, Jason Dolley, and Tiffany Thorton. The main theme of the show is about being more open and expressing yourself more. i hope many more disney movies will turn out just as great. Oh not to mention Josie Loren who plays the leading female character is freaking awesome.

This is the song recorded by two of the main cast Mitchel Musso and Tiffany Thorton. Im practically hooked to this song right now.

What i did

I watched High School Musical 3 and Bride Wars on my computer a few days ago. I can say i enjoyed 1 of them and i expected more from the other.



HSM3 was quite good. I think the music and choreography was certainly better then the 1st 2 movies. And the story definitely better then the 2nd movie and almost as good as the original. The movie seemed more mature for some reason this time. One thing that always make me wonder when it comes to movies about high school sports teams. If people like Troy, Chad and others are seniors in this movie. And the fact that they make such an impact as the 'seniors of the squad', then when they were juniors like in the 1st movie, Troy was still captain. Gee, the seniors then must have really sucked. The same thing happened in One Tree Hill with the squad pretty much being about the Scott brothers even if they were sophomores, juniors, or seniors. but other than that, i think the show was great.



Bride Wars on the other hand could have gone better. I feel the trailers made too much of it being a comedy when they should have advertised it as a romance. The comedy section was under par and the story never really stood out. Not as much as i expected from this movie.
