Movie... Magic... 183...

Went to watch Death Note with my mom at Plaza Singapura on Saturday afternoon... The movie is based on a popular Japanese manga series written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata... Light Yagami is an aspiring prosecutor who had lost faith in the legal system after hacking into the Japanese police database and discovering that criminals are being left unpunished... Just at this moment, a bored Shinigami, Ryuk, dropped his Death Note into the human world... Light chanced upon the note and after initial skeptism and experimentation, decides to use the note to create a perfect world without any crime...

As the death rates of criminals increases, the Japanese police called in the help of the mysterious but world famous detective L in hopes of solving the case... Despite his disheveled appearance, odd sitting manner and obsession with sweet food, L soon proves to be the greatest nemesis of Light and the battle of wits soon begins...

This movie is quite enjoyable and you'll enjoy the battle between L and Light... Ryuk's animation is great but not over-the-top and he also has some funny moments... The movie does have some slow moving parts but in it is still intriguing... Take note that the movie ends with half the story told and the second part will be coming to cinemas this December... Remember to stay tune to the trailer of the second movie as it will be shown right after the credits of Death Note... Overall I'll give the movie an 8 out of 10...


I saw this video on Yahoo Video Singapore about the best magician in the world... It's really 'amazing'... Watch it and you'll know what I mean... Haha... (link)



Today I'll be posting MVs of the songs 完美情人 and 甜蜜约定 by 183 Club... Both songs are recorded in the 爱情魔发师 OST...

完美情人 is the opening theme of 爱情魔发师... It features all 5 of them singing and dancing... (link)


甜蜜约定 is the ending theme of 爱情魔发师... It features Jacky, Johnny, Ehlo and Sam helping Mindow woo a gal and the gal falling in love with Mindow... A very sweet video... (link)

Dance...

Found on Youtube a video clip of the US drama serial Queer as Folk... The video shows 2 guys dancing to the song, Save The Last Dance For Me, at prom night... It's actually very cute and kind of romantic... If you think Brokeback Mountain is sexy, watch this dance... (link)

Movie... Links... 183...

Went to watch The Prestige with my mom at The Cathay on Sunday morning... The movie is about 2 young magicians on the rise, Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) and Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman)... They were competitors and each tried their best to outwit and destroy the other... Their rivalry took both of them to the peak of their careers but both paid dearly for it...

The acting is superb and the movie is filled with twists and turns that will captivate you till the end of the story... You'll not know what to expect until the end... Christian Bale, one of my favorite actors, delivers a stunning performance as Alfred, the man who seemingly had some mental issues and loved magic with his life... The dedication Alfred has for his career and the sacrifices he makes are admirable... Hugh Jackman also gives a powerful performance as Robert, the man who is obssessed with destroying and outdoing Alfred... His quest in doing so costs him massive amount of money and unimaginable sacrifices... Michael Caine, as a great actor, helps in mystifying the audience without much effort...

All in all, the movie is wonderful and mesmerising... I'll definitely recommend everyone to watch it... Personally I'll give it a score of 9 out of 10... There is only 1 thing to be careful and that is the movie's non-linear narrative... So do not expect the movie to be told from beginning to end... Instead, let the movie take you to different places in the timeline and let the pieces of the story fall in place naturally...

Perfume... 183...

Bought my Hugo Boss in Motion Black Edition for my brother last Sunday as I promised him I'll buy him something if he get good grades for this semester's Poly exams... He scored a GPA of 3.487 out of 4 and asked for the perfume... It cost $102... I feel the pain of my money parting with me... But my brother is still more important... Haha... I also made it clear that he has to score higher for next semester... If not he wouldn't be getting anything from me... Haha...

Today I'm going to post 2 of 183 Club's MTV 迷魂计 and 真爱... These 2 songs are the beginning and ending songs in 王子变青蛙 (The Prince Who Turns Into A Frog)... This drama serial is the highest rated idol drama in Taiwan, beating Meteor Garden... If you remember, it was shown on Channel U before... A very nice fairy tale serial... Mindow and Sam was so charming in the serial... I was rooting for Sam's character, 子骞, all the while...

迷魂计 features all 5 of them... It's another hot video... Haha... Johnny and Mindow are placed at the back because their dancing are not as good as the rest's... (link)


真爱 features Johnny and scenes of 183 playing rugby and getting wet... (Noticed they are always getting wet?? Haha...) The song is very catchy... This MTV starts with 183 Club introducing the song... (link)
