Battle: Los Angeles

Hey guys, Last Sunday, after I've sent my shoe for repair and me and my friends got nothing to do and we decided to watch this instead of our original plan to watch Rango (damn!) but anyhow, here is my review Director: Jonathan Liebesman Who's in it: Aaron Eckhart (the guy as Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight), Michele Rodriguez (you already knew her from most of action movies or most of the movies), Ne-Yo (yes the hip-hop star) What's it about: When an alien invasion strikes all major cities on Earth, it’s up to Staff Sergeant Michael Nantz to lead a troop of green Marines into the heart of battle to retrieve civilians caught in the crossfire despite hes supposedly to retire from his 20 years of service. Why I like it: It’s probably the best gritty alien invasion movie to date, with a great leading man in Aaron Eckhart’s tortured Michael Nantz and a multi-ethnic backup cast that can stand well on its own. The special effects are reminiscent of ‘District 9’ wi...

Last week, I manage to watched this movie that I've been waiting since last year when they roll out the poster of Blondie.

Why I like it: Guns, bombs, flying kicks and visually-pleasing effects; the film doesn't get better than this. Best to watch all that on the on 2D or 3D. Plus it's Zack and he can do whatever he wants; even if it means dressing five hot girls in scintillating outfits (I really like this) Why I don't...

Reading

Hey guys, Sorry for the long hiatus, I've been hooked by my work and also never ending invitation from friends to join this and that which it was a fun thing to do since I've no commitment to adhere to. Anyhow, I have gotten into my reading mode back and yes, not just blog reading as I manage to buy some books for this 1st quarter (I've planned to but couple of books for every quarter of this year). Some of the books that I've already bough were Doctor In The House - Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed, Get Rich and Be Happy - Robert T.Kiyosaki (one of my favourite author) and also The Greatness Guide: Book 2 - Robin Sharma. As at this time, I have read the first 2 books in the list whereby I found out these are some of the great materials to read and the reason I only started with this two books is that the 1st book is very thick which I only got the time to read and will try to read one chapter or more each night as it is quite thick for a mere 100bucks book (that is considered...
