100 facts

District 9-尽显人性的弱点


看完了这部片,我想收回我以前曾经说过的一句话。曾经,我说Peter Jackson制作了Lord of the Rings三部曲以后,应该收山,见好就收,永远保持美好的名誉。

对不起,我要收回!

如果不是Peter Jackson,我们哪有这么一部好看的科幻片?这么多年,外星人侵犯地球的片子,来来去去,只有几个给以预想得到的剧情以及结局。外星人电影,就渐渐失去色彩。而District 9正改变了所有以往对外星人的偏见,而且,显示人性的弱点。

我也不想破坏各位看这部电影会有的惊喜,电影情节自然是不提了。看完整部片子,我的头很痛。因为,我几乎是皱着眉头把片子看完。电影带来的那份压抑,长达两个小时,久久不能释放。就一直集在我的眉头之间,直到后来,Prawn在制作那朵玫瑰的时候,眼泪就被释放出来了。

我希望不会有续集,让这部电影的一切,这样suspend在每个观众的心里。

District 9,绝对是2009年最值得观看的科幻片!

Rating: 4.5/5 (0.5分,被有点太过血腥送走了)

在伤口上撒盐巴

最近热气,下唇里长了一个ulcer。吃东西很不方便,刷牙也很不方便。

我向来怕痛,可是看这个ulcer长得不怎么大,昨天就很下心肠,在伤口上洒盐巴!

痛不欲生……
简直是尖叫都没有用……

可是,我还是连续撒了两天……

试一试

一直想买Macro lens,可是又很穷,怎么办?

这次回家,在姐姐相熟的相机店败了这个Hoya close up +4的filter,以区区的RM60假假冒充macro lens。虽然不及macro lens的效果好,可是“无虾鱼也好”。

放了这个filter,发现颜色变得很淡。我不知是否同我的olympus在low light condition拍照不太好有无关系,看来下次等外头艳阳高照的时候再试一次。


我的法式面包晚餐,加上scramble egg和bacon。


一时贪吃,还弄了几片配nutella。


吃完法式面包后,来点yogurt。

好饱啊,我看我还是泡茶去~

Up



打从Toy Story开始,我们三姐弟便是Pixar超级影迷。从来没有错过Pixar的任何一套动画。更有几部,我们是可以倒背如流。就连每一部动画前的Short Film,我们都是非常喜爱。背井离乡好几年,已经好多套Pixar没同姐姐和弟弟看,毓豪自然扮演了“超级影迷”来。(被逼的啦)

Up还是一样,没有让人失望。颜色鲜明,一如Pixar以往的动画一样。人物的性格分明,主角配角一样有让人牢牢记住的魅力。丰富的想象力,欢快的背景音乐,让人不自觉地向翩翩起舞。当气球把屋子“连根拔起”,飞上天空,我也很希望自己有这等魔法屋。

除了丰富的想象力,这部动画也非常写实。小孩Russel是父母离异的可怜孩子,自小没有父爱,可是童稚纯真,惹人爱。老人Carl和太太相爱,是不折不扣的青梅竹马。当Carl回想起已不在人世的太太,让我几次感动到眼泪都流了出来。

值得一提的是3D的效果非常好,动画里每个人物,都活生生的在面前晃来晃去。看来电影业为了打败盗版市场,也是做了很多的努力。3D大概就是动画片这几年的趋势了。

要我打分数?5/5,非常值得一看!

别错过哦!

Orange Sunday

If my title is misleading, please forgive me. I'm a colour person, not a vege person. So I named my title with the colour of the day, not the fruits/vegetables that I made into juice :P

On Sunday morning, I decided I want some carrot milk.




And it was match made too! >.<"



My orange bubbles told me carrot milk is good for your skin. So, don't be lazy, drink this more often :D

Public Enemies

I've been looking forward for this movie ever since Khai Lin told me about it. Johnny Depp, how can one miss his movie??

I was very excited when I knew this is going to be played by Johnny Depp and Christian Bale. But, it was a shock that Christian Bale was the biggest disappointment in this show! In his first scene, I thought "Man! Why did he act like Keanu???"

If you like Johnny Depp (like me!!!), it's still a show to watch, because he's simply the best!

Side note, the soundtrack was very good :D
(Do let me know if you're interested)

Rating: 3/5 (all the stars go to JD!)

PS. The veteran policeman was very charismatic as well!

Green Saturday

I bought a juicer just Tuesday, finally.

I've tried making juice from blender, and it's a lot more hard work! So, I think I better use a juicer, especially if I'm planning to do more fruit fasting.

A glass of apple celery juice, good for people with high blood pressure.








And you know what, I don't feel so guilty from my oily prata breakfast after this glass of healthy juice :P
