The only musical that I really enjoy is "The Sound Of Music", till today I could sing and hum those tunes. Since then I have seen a few musical films, but none left any impressions to me. Not until recently...Sweeney Todd, it did took a while to convince myself to give it a chance. Finally I gave in and watched it. It was quite refreshing, giving this is the darkest musical film I have ever watched. Lot's of blood and the lyrics are dark as well. It was a well done, and with Johnny Depp in the lead role, how bad can it be? 

Definitely worthwhile watching, so if any of you are running out of movie titles to watch, try Sweeney Todd, he will put your dark-side into perspective.

Geez, where do I start...? My last post was in March 2008, and now we're in almost end August 2008. Time passes so fast and all you know it has been 6 months already. Well, been working most of the time, didn't really have much time for doing anything interesting of late. 

I did stayed home and catch up on the X-Files series (Season 1-4), before heading to the cinema for the release of X-Files : I Want To Believe. After watching through season #1 & #2, I then only realize how a big fan I was...because I could practically remember all those episodes. That was spooky. The new film however, didn't have any of the trademark from the series, except focusing heavily on Mulder & Scully's relationship. The rest was just backdrop, nothing important. It's a very personal film, which only the hardcore fans will understand.

Batman : The Dark Knight, was impressive, having so many characters and good actors in a comic hero movie...was done with class. No doubt Heath played well as the Joker, I personally feel Michael Cain, Morgan Freeman and Harvey 2 Face were outstanding. Batman's love interest this time around, however made me miss Katie Holmes.

CNY Moments

Here are some CNY moments to share with you all. Over the past 2 years been kind of dark and confused, but that seems to be fading of as I stepped into 2008. Hope all will be well form this year onwards. Enjoy the pictures.

Chinese New Year

The year just passes so much quicker these days, and now it's 2008 and all chinese are celebrating Chinese New Year (CNY) as I'm writing. CNY is always great, lots of food, cookies, drinks, gatherings, gambling and some firework display.

This CNY was a bit special as my 2 best pals came back to KL to celebrate CNY, Eric who is from Shanghai and Gene living in Melbourne, Aust. I knew all along that Eric will be back, in fact he's back every CNY, but for Gene he and his wife came back secretly without informing the gang. He just call us saying "I'm in KL, lets meet" through sms.

So, great CNY, hope it gets better and better every year ahead. Regarding "Detour", promises haven't been fulfilled...which is load it up for you all to watch. Still struggling on that process.

I will share some CNY moments over the next few postings. GONG XI FA CHAI!!!
