On February 19, Lydia "Fei-fei" Shum died. She was one of the few Chinese actresses that I actually recognized. She was a familiar face and seemed to be in show business forever. This past week the Chinese networks have been showing her musical-comedy specials. Today I watched some of her memorial. I cried. The outpouring of sentiment and memories ( Read more... )

It feels like I spent my day off yesterday free of the cares of work. I was able to get a few of my chores done and just enjoy the day. I went to the dentist's office and got a mess of fillings and had a deep cleaning. I did two loads of laundry. Had some lunch. Cleaned up the living room a tad. Then a whole mess of peeps came over at 8 p.m. and we ( Read more... )

Wow! Great movie! I saw Stardust yesterday with some friends. It was very enjoyable. It's worth the money. The movie appeals to guys and girls alike. Go see Stardust!

Edit: I went into the movie not expecting much from it. It was just an excuse to hang out with some friends. I was really surprised with how good the movie was and how much I enjoyed

Doomsday Clock isn't as good as Tarantula. But Clock was clearly recognizable with Billy's voice.

I watched Transformers again.

*thumbs up* I approve. I saw Tranformers last night. I liked it. Some parts were goofy and cheesy, but overall, it was a pretty decent action flick. I had shivers and goosebumps throughout many of the scenes. Some may say Michael Bay raped our childhood, but he's gentle and uses lube. I might even go see this movie again.

I wasn't expecting too much from the movie, but I was surprised when I found it very enjoyable and very funny. I was clapping at exceptional scenes throughout the film. "Blades" is better than Talladega Nights. ( Read more... )

On 2/12, I talked about watching some DLM season 2. A few days after that, I finished watching the rest of the season, and also watched the behind-the-scenes commentary. I think they hit their stride in season 2. It was very enjoyable. It's too bad they canceled the show after that ( Read more... )

Saturday, me and some of my peeps caught "Smokin' Aces." The reviews on rottentomatoes.com has been pretty bad, and our paper's review thought it was horrid. I liked the movie. Reviews say the movie is unbelievable, but I suppose I have a better skill at suspension of disbelief than most. Another common complaint from professional reviewers were " ( Read more... )
