Jackie Chan has always been a favourite of mine, and watching his new movies during the CNY season is a tradition. So I just had to see The Spy Next Door as soon as possible!
I think that his Chinese movies are still a cut above his Western ones, with a few exceptions. I watched Shinjuku Incident [...]

I’d missed out on a month’s worth of House MD while in KL, so it pissed me off when I was on Google News recently and got smacked with this [SPOILER WARNING]:

OMG seriously. Talk about potong stim.
I’d also heard that the upcoming X-Men spinoff Wolverine:Origins was leaked. Not that I was likely to have caught [...]

I haven’t seen a movie as beautiful as Slumdog Millionaire in a while.
There are many reasons to like it. I’m sure you’ll find your own.
I liked how it encompassed all man’s emotions, qualities and flaws. Hope. Anger. Despair. Humour. Passion. Betrayal. Innocence – and, of course, Love.
It was also one of those few movies where [...]

The facts are these…
Pushing Daisies is a fairytale-mystery series centered around Ned (Lee Pace), a piemaker who has the ability to revive the dead with a single touch (but a second touch reverses this, forever); Charlotte “Chuck” (Anna Friel), his childhood beau, and main beneficiary of his ability; Olive (Kristin Chenoweth), his lovelorn employee; and [...]

I finally watched it last week, probably just before the screenings ended. I think it’s so good that I’m not going to bother with spoiler warnings; if you haven’t already watched it you suck :P.
The really impressive thing that put Wall-E above and beyond the previous Pixar films is how it intertwines two different stories [...]

(This is an entry for this).
First thing I did with my first few months of salary was to finally buy myself a gaming PC so you’d probably know, I love games :). And not your average junkie too: I really love them, have played many many games, and find it puzzling why people can spend [...]

Out of boredom I started watching Human Weapon and Fight Quest  a while back.Both are serial semi-documentaries that explore various martial arts around the world. They are very similar (but Human Weapon aired first) – the only differences I could see were that HW had cool motion-captured animations explaining the forces behind the main techniques of [...]

Dark Knight Returns
Batman first came alive for me when I read Frank Miller’s landmark graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns (1986), which told the story of an aged Batman returning to fight crime. Its grim take on superheroes and mature themes remain an influence on comic books today (and who could forget the iconic panels [...]

Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) from Matthew Harding on Vimeo.”This may be the best four minutes and twenty-eight seconds of your week.”, said the entry at Boing Boing. Well it’s only two days into it, but I’ve a pretty good feeling it will be.It’s basically a goofy dance done by Matt, “a 31-year-old [...]

Diablo III! You have to love Blizzard, when they do promos they sure do it right. Rather than leave us hanging with initial announcements, then drag on the PR campaign with the odd screenshot, concept art, staff interviews, etc, they usually already have working footage of the game – which is what the fans really [...]
