Terminator Salvation

i had my doubts about this movie

these were my pre-conceptions about the show:

  • it was going to be just an action film without much storyline
  • a repetition of the terminator plot that would sound so old already
  • it would not live up to the great Terminator legacy

these are my closing views after the show:

  • AWESOME!!!
  • it totally lived up to the legacy and added more charm to it too
  • brought in the new technology without ruining much of its original technology
  • linked it back to the old shows by featuring Arnold =)
  • loved the concept of humanity existing within the advanced robots

a must watch for all terminator buffs!
and a jumping start for those who havent watched terminator legacy before =)

Kantoi – Zee Avi

the Malaysian girl who made the song ‘Bitter Heart’ famous
here’s another song of hers that's just so adorably cute!

she tells of a cheating partner
and how she finds out the hard way

why i love it is,
the way she sings of it so nonchalantly
something so close to her heart
and quite hurtful
yet she says it in a way that
just screams “right on! atta girl!”

by the way, her voice is absolutely enchanting!

thanks to kim for introducing this song to me!

The Climb – Miley Cyrus

for a girl who’s barely legal
she sure can sing great!

this song just makes you want to keep moving on
it gives you the renewal of hope
that no matter what happens
no matter how big the obstacle is
no matter how troubled you feel
no matter the sacrifices you make along the way
its going to keep coming
so just deal with it the best way you can
and keep going on!

that its not what happens at the end that matters
its the journey you take to get there that matters instead
!

Hannah Montana The Movie

i honestly havent watched much of the Hannah Montana series
but the one or two that i have watched were entertaining =)

so when i watched this debut movie
i watched it without expectations
and i give it a not bad =)

its one of those
lighthearted easy relaxing movies
that you can enjoy for that time being
but will soon forget

this tells of Miley Cyrus
being too caught up in the world of Hannah Montana
and is brought back down to earth in her hometown
learning about sacrifices and what truly matters most.

but all in all
Hannah Montana rocks!

Tipping the Velvet – Sarah Waters

once again,
a superb great brilliant plot from Sarah Waters!

this one has three parts,
as the same with the rest of her stories

this one tells of an oyster girl
and her journey of discovery
of herself, love and hardships

first part tells of
her story with the stage impersonator
a girl who acts like a guy on stage
how they whisk off to London
and soon stage shows together

the second part tells of
her seedy works
and the deal she made with her newfound “mistress”

the third part tells of
her working a a “maid”
for an old friend
and how she discovers so much more about her own life

i hope i didnt give out too much info
to spoil the twists and turns
but indeed
it is a story not to be missed

however, be warned
this story contains very vivid sexuality themes & scenes
but otherwise, superb plot
especially in terms of human relationships with one another
