Woke up late today. Watched a couple of TV episodes. Choked down barely edible breakfast. At 2pm, stumbled out of the apartment, half starved, to the gym. At the gym after an unhealthy lunch, while chugging on unenthusiastically on a elliptical trainer, I saw on CNN this headline: “Life cut short”. And a series of [...]

Cloverfield: Early, non-spoilery cryptic first look
Posted in Movies, tagged Clover Field, Cloverfield, JJ Abrams on January 16, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Yes, I saw Cloverfield.
I’m still not sure how to react. I’m stunned. Flumoxxed. Weirded out. Well. How do I put it? It was certainly different.
But never fear. I will not spoil you with anything. In fact, Cloverfield is the kind of film where the less you know, the better it is.
One thing. It’s such a [...]
No internet for 3 days!

No, this is not the usual Streamyx complaint. This is a community message for those who plan to watch Cloverfield:
Do not surf the Internet or search for anything relating to Cloverfield because some dumbass person leaked the pictures of the Cloverfield monster!!!
This poor unfortunate soul – ME – was researching for an article about [...]
Reasons not to be TOO excited about Cloverfield
Posted in Movies, tagged Cloverfield, Movies on January 11, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Despite the headline of this post, I’m one of bazzilions who can’t wait to see what the heck is behind the destruction of New York City in Cloverfield. Is it
a) Godzilla, but with better CGI?
b) an angry, 30-foot lawyer? (Doesn’t that shadow in the poster look like a guy in a suit?)
c) giant clovers from outer space?
The [...]
Watch Night Watch!

It took me forever to watch Night Watch. The not so official copy of it sat in my cabinet for years before I finally watched it. The first few scenes of the movie – it seemed so irreverent. Not how I like my fantasy. But something possessed me to pop it into the DVD and [...]
Review: American Gangster

Look at my fries and you’ll get a bullet between the eyes.
Ah, good ol’ Denzel Washington. He can’t seem to do wrong. Okay, except for Deja Vu, but when Denzel is in a movie, expect acting gold.
American Gangster has that in spades with Denzel and the ever-reliable but grumpy diva Russell Crowe sparring in [...]
Best manga of 2007
Posted in Books, Graphic Novels, tagged Emma, Graphic Novels, Inubaka, Kaoru Mori, Mail, Manga, MPD Psycho on January 4, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Unsurprisingly, I’ve not read many of PW’s recommendations, though I do agree with one of their choices: MPD Psycho.
So … gritty (ok, it was downright violent) was the book that I thought for sure that it had been banned from Malaysia. But when I saw it in Kino, and with two volumes at a 30% [...]
