Movie: The Reaping

Why is it so hard to have a really good horror movie nowadays? One would aspect for a movie to be starring a credible award winning actress like Hilary Swank to be of substance but unfortunately again it is one of the run of the mill devil theme movies in the likes of Wicker Man (Nicholas Cage), Devil's Advocate (Al Pacino), etc.... The Reaping brings nothing new to the genre accept a continuous run of disappointing horror movies that's from US. The movie starts by introducing us to Hilary Swank's character in South America one of her many myth debunking trips. It seemed that her obsessions to debunk miracles were due to her loosing her child and husband during her ordained life as a priest 5 years ago. Yeah you read right..she was a servant of god before she turned into a crusader of anti-god....what else can you say about someone who goes around to proof god related miracles as false? Anyway someone came over to seek her help about a mysterious river turned red after a child accused of murdering her brother by the river in a town named Haven. Well of she goes with her sidekick who by the way is a god fearing man that makes no sense why he is with her considering her mission is to discredit god's miracles around the world. To cut long story short, the whole town is full of devil worshipers and she was called to instead of solving the case of red river, dieing livestocks, grasshoppers, etc...etc..the whole end of the world thing...she was supposed to kill the child as no one else seemed to be able to. You see she was an angel and a second child and she was supposed to end the devil's take over the world. So instead of killing the angel child, Swank got her to decimate the entire community of Haven. By the way as such movie goes at the end credit, she found out that she was pregnant after a lucid sex dream with the devil's priest, and that the child she is carrying is the ultimate devil's child. Now if you think the plots or potholes are your cup of tea then go and watch it.....2/10

Movie Review: Catch and Release

It has been a awhile since Jennifer Garner appear on the silver screen. So as a fan of hers since her Alias day, I was excited to catch her latest movie. However, Catch and Release isn't really a good movie for her come back role. First, the movie is above her losing her fiance at the start of the movie and how she fell for her fiance's friend and finding that her fiance had a child with another woman during their time together. It wasn't a good movie because the pace was slow and the supporting roles of friends of her fiance were dull and especially Kevin Smith (Sam) supposedly the comic relief came across as bland and unfunny. Nothing new from Juliette Lewis, the woman Jennifer's fiance had a child with, just her less than interesting portrayal. the ending was also very predictable and the two lovers ending up in each other's arm. So if you really miss her, I mean REALLY MISS HER, then watch it, if not, wait for The Kingdom, a much better action-thriller movie judging from the trailer. All in a 3/10 from me.

My favorite time of the day.....

Mine is in the morning. I dont know but every morning with the morning air and everything smelling so fresh and wonderful, it just fuel me up with energy to get the day started. I guess it is due to my daily routine of going out to the nearest food outlets getting my cup of tea, daily newspaper and enjoying my favorite breakfast with everyone else doing the same.

Effective Colon Cleansing

Going thru a pharmacy, I noticed a product called Psyllium Husk, used as an effective natural colon-cleansing agent. Haven't heard of this product before, I bought it as I was intrigued by the claim written on the label that 99.9% of our illness begins in the colon. Additionally it said an average person has 1 to 3 kg of unwanted matter stuck to their bowel wall building up pathogens and toxics. Instruction says to take it on an empty stomach with 1/2 a glass of warm water added honey if preferred. I tried it, taste kinda funky but a bit like oat. Unfortunate for me I took it during evening. Guess what at around 1am my stomach started reacting to it and I spend quite a few rounds in the loo purging the content of my bowel. Well I guess it worked but I will be sure to take in during midday instead in the future.

Something about myself...

I have a pet dog, he is a peke. Got him since last year and he is about 1 year plus. His name is H by the way. When I got him I didn't realize what an adorable child he is. He is extremely intelligent and because of that he really acts like a child. he is also very inquisitive. Sometimes too much and he gets into trouble. Like the other day, he nearly got bitten by a stray dog when he rushed to the stray wanting to play but was misinterpreted by the stay as a threat. He also loved to go out and ride in a car to go places. His favorite place in the car is on the dashboard so that he can see where we are going. Doesn't he looks adorable! Will blog more about him......Let me know if you have a peke too!

Starting something new....

It isn't easy to start something new....unlike many people who are already blogging, I am just starting to learn how to do it. Is it as easy as some people say? I don't know but I am going to try anyway. Reading from some of the comments in forum, people say that blogging took over their life and they feel that they have no other social life anymore. Will this happen to me as well? I doubt so for the moment since I still grasping at the concept of blogging.

There are some other stuff that I would like to know if there is anyone else reading this can kindly point it out to me like:

- How do I get people to start reading from my blog? I mean how do I let people know about my blog?
- How to allow people to post comments from my blog site?
- Is it ok to place an avatar of me? How do I get one?
- Can I know when there is a comment without login into my blog?

Guess from the questions above, I have revealed what a greenie I am as a blogger as well as internet savvy......well I will just have to wait and see if I get any reply to my queries....
