Cloverfield

Yeah I know this review is a year or more late, but here it is anyway:

Cloverfield was strewn with inconsistencies and relatively stupid characters.

1. The protagonist's girlfriend suffered a severe wound but was still alive after (at least) 3 hours. The girl was stabbed through with a metal pole at the start of the whole monster rampage. To me, that constitutes a heavy wound which probabaly involved lots of blood spillage.



When she phones her boyfriend to come save her, the audience is thinking: Dude, She'll be dead by the time you get there. True enough, the protagonist reaches GF's apartment to find her with her eyes closed, not breathing. He kneels at her side and weeps.



Suddenly, like Dracula rising from his coffin, GF sits up and gasps for breath. It is probably one of the most anti-climatic scenes in the movie. The protagonist is joyful, the audience is thinking: WOAH.



2. Despite the heavy bloodloss and having just recently been punctured by a pole, GF is sprightly enough to run faster than the dude with the camera. In fact, she looks positively healthy.



3. Before reaching GF's apartment, the protagonist and company decide to run through a subway tunnel. Unarmed. Have none of these kids played video games? Have they not watched horror movies? Do they not know what happens in dark claustrophobic places?


Anyway, they're running through the dark tunnel when they hear a NOISE.



One of them asks if the others heard something and they all stop. They proceed to on the videocamera's light. At this point the audience is thinking: Dudes you're all so dead.


Needless to say, the monsters attack.



4. The gang are saved by the military. BF really really wants to save his GF even after the sergeant tells him that her apartment is in a Monster Infested Hotspot and she's probably dead by now. BF is all: Oh NO I am saving her! So the sergeant says: Ok meet back here in time for the helicopter and good luck. He then lets them leave unarmed.


Ok.


The military professional just sent a bunch of civilians into the battleground. Unarmed.



5. The gang make their way to GF's apartment and are still too brainless to find something to use as a weapon. As they near the Monster Hotspot, the audience brace themselves for a fight scene.



Turns out the sergeant was right. They really didn't need any weapons. In the whole big, gargantuan building, there's only one lonely little monster who pops up randomly and is instantly punched to death. For Monster Hotspot, the place is pretty empty. Not just of monsters but also of bodies. Since this is a big residential building, you half expect to see bodies lying around.


There's none, zilch. The place is spotless, nothing but debris. No bones, no blood. Just one girl with a pole run through her. Either the tenants of the building run really fast, or the monster ate them bones and all.


6. The gang finally end up in the helicopter, unfortunately, it gets knocked down. The audience is thinking: This time they're really dead.


Wrong. They're alive! But all the military personnel who were in the 'copter with them are dead.


Camera dude gets eaten by the monster. BF and GF are nearby but somehow escape. Apparently the monster was too full to chase them.


BF and GF are hiding under a bridge. The bridge gets bombed.
The End.



All in all, Cloverfield was a brainless, yet entertaining watch. Hopefully the sequel makes more sense.

Demashitaa! PowerPuff Girls Z

i.e, PowerPuff Girls 'animefied'

Note: The names before the 'A.K.A' are what they really call themselves when they transform.

'Hyper Blossom'
A.K.A
Boy Crazy Bimbo






Not like the original Blossom. Quite an air head. Little hearts pop up around her when she sees a guy she likes.







'Rolling Bubbles'
A.K.A
Super Act Cute






Less annoying than Hyper Blossom. Finds everything cute. Slightly similar to the original Bubbles.







'Powered Buttercup'
A.K.A
Least Annoying Character

Quite similar to the original Buttercup. Tomboyish.
Her weapon is probably the coolest. Blossom got a yo yo, Bubbles got a bubble wand. Buttercup got a giant hammer.

Notes

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

If that doesn't work, lemons make good throwing ammunition.

Notes

School Rhyme:

The sky is blue
The grass is green
I'm so bored
I miss TV

The board is white
The markers stink
Time is slowing
It's hard to think

The fan is whirling
Chairs are scraping
The bell is ringing...
Whoopee!Time to leave!

Blogging

I have never been crazy about blogs.

I started this blog because a friend asked me if I had one. She said that she was tired of reading nonsense from some other blogs.

(Yes people, this here blog is brainfood. ^__^)

So I thought, why not? I'll try this blog thing

And here it is.

It's a bit like having your own magazine. I'm the chief editor, the sub editor, the photographer and the writer.

Princess Hour

Now that the 'first post' formalities are taken care of... moving on to a more interesting topic.
Princess Hour, also known as 'Gong' in chinese, is the latest Korean Drama to hit Singapore. It has received many reviews. One may note that all the reviews are good.
Where are the bad reviews?
Before any Princess Hour fans start rioting, let me say that the sets are pretty ,the music is nice and the story is so unbelievable it's funny.
Unfortunately, the main female protagonist, is frankly quite annoying.
I have no idea what the actress is like, but I know the character she plays is pretty annoying.
The character acts cute when she whines, acts cute when she's mad and acts cute when she's sad. I understand she is meant to be a 'cute' character, but this is really overdoing it.
As the main character, she needs to be likeable in order to keep people watching the show. (I'm quite sure not everyone likes her character despite what the reviews say)
The storyline is already not much of a brain teaser, so it is the characters that need to bring up the show. Unfortunately, I feel that the characters are bland and the plot predictable.

'My Girl' starring Lee Da hae, Lee Dong Wook and Lee Jun Ki is a much better series. The storyline is less silly and the characters are more likeable. The songs are great too. This is a korean drama where no one dies from an incurable disease; the plot is less typical than most and it ends with a happily ever after.

'Princess Hour' ends semi-happily. I won't go into detail. (so as not to spoil it for those who haven't finished the series.)

As a parting note, I would like to say that this is an unbiased report. Seriously, we should watch 'My Girl' over 'Princess Hour' due to the pure brilliance of the show itself and I'm not being biased.
In no way am I trying to influence anyone's choice of show with this report.



watch 'My Girl'
