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’ with its gritty real-life feel which what I really like about it. The action has been nicely done.
Why I don't: The aliens seem somewhat half-baked as I don’t really find out their motive for invasion except some speculations from an expert (water), and you don’t really see the aliens in detail. Some of the supporting cast merely serves as cannon fodder, and does Michele Rodriguez have to play every tough girl in Hollywood??. Nevetheless, yes it is very Americans movie.
Verdict: This is popcorn entertainment at its best- an action film with a very human plot that puts you in the protagonists cheering squad every time. Unfortunately, some of the plot isn’t quite there, but it doesn’t really matter if you just want to see humans repulse an alien invasion through nothing but indomitable spirits.
Ratings: 3.5 out of 5

I have stumble upon a statement from my close friends which I'm very close to her referring that we've been together since our A-Level and we still contact each other till now. Well she said that, sometime I will an inferior to her as opposed that in view of the lifestyle that I've been practicing which more towards urban, stylish and up-scale which I have a deep thinking on it, am I? I don't blame anybody for saying that which sometimes I agreed with them but still I'm the same old me, simple, shy, unattractive and not your guy-next-door, better still people can be judgemental and usually we will be affected what people were talking about us and the result that you can see now more or less were from the feedback from people surroundings. Why I'm saying that? because that's is how I'm, which I think why my friend said such thing because of the changes or improvement (not to say improvement per se but more toward evolution) that sees in me throughou...

Planning at the early stage is good

Nothing serious..just want to scribbling a little bit about plans and make planning. There is a quote that says `If you fail to plan then you are plan to FAIL!', well in a matter a fact i kind of agree with the quotation as we need to do planning to avoid any circumstances that might or will happen to us whenever we want to pursue the objective. For example, I've plan to go for a vacation in the mid-June (let say not real), despite that i need to plan my leave, plan the timing, the itinerary to make sure my vacation will not facing any unwanted thing. Yeah that is plan...will continue about this topic later on Lulz
