Ah…I know, I know…I haven’t been updating for the past week as I’ve been uber busy. I received the 16th volume of Ouran High Host Club to translate and have been given a very tight deadline…so Ouran fans, keep your eye out! The translated edition should be out by *fingers crossed* June. On a personal...

Movie Review: Monga
Monga (艋舺), directed by Doze Niu Chen-zer (鈕承澤), is a classic gangster tale. The scene is set when Mosquito, played by Mark Chao (趙又廷), a new boy in the high school finds himself being picked on. His brave response catches the attention of Dragon, played by Rhydian Vaughan (鳳小岳), who is the son of Geta,...

Movie Review – Clash of the Titans (3D)
Went to watch “Clash of the Titans” with my folks last night despite reading the lukewarm reviews. My verdict is that it IS an entertaining movie since there’s tons of action, hot bods, good looking people and some action sequences. You just need to forget how the producers basically messed up a lot of the...

Movie Review – How to Train Your Dragon
I’m a kid who hasn’t quite grown up and will probably continue watching cartoons till I’m dead. That being said, it is way natural for me to go watch “How To Train Your Dragon” in 3D. Following the recent spate of 3D movies that are coming out (feels a bit like an avalanche sometimes), I...

Movie Review – Remember Me
Went to watch “Remember Me” last night with Emma and I quite enjoyed it despite the spate of lousy reviews. I’m sure by now, you’ll know it as the Robert Pattinson movie. Well, the movie is really a romantic drama where Tyler (Pattinson) is a rebellious young man in NYC who has a strained relationship...

Movie Review – Alice in Wonderland
I prefer “Alice In Wonderland” to “Avatar”. Bold opening statement but that’s the way I feel. Oh. You HAVE to watch this in 3D. It just adds to the experience of being in Underland…or Wonderland as Alice had originally ‘mistaken’. Haha. I love how mad cap Tim Burton’s brain is to conceptualise a ‘sequel’ to...

Movie review – Cirque du freak – The Vampire’s Assistant
Yet another vampire movie in the latest slew of vampire-related films such as “Twilight” and “Daybreak”. This time round, “Cirque du freak – The Vampire’s Assistant” is an adaptation from a children’s series so the feel of the movie is light-hearted compared to the ‘star-crossed’ lovers of “Twilight”. This movie tells the story of Darren...

Movie Review – Invictus
New year = new movies to watch!! When I first saw this movie poster, I couldn’t believe that it was Matt Damon….they managed to photoshop him until he doesn’t look like himself. Ok…that’s not the point. “Invictus” tells the story of the newly elected President Nelson Mandela who uses rugby to unite the whole of...
