For those of us in our 30s and 40s, seeing the trailer and advertisement of the new Tom&Jerry movie really brings back a sense of nostalgia. We grew up with the original Tom&Jerry cartoon series, and although I always rooted for Jerry, I also sometimes sympathised with the poor cat, especially since he was mostContinue reading “Tom&Jerry – A movie that brings back nostalgia”

Happy New Year, 2021!
Finally, 2020 has gone, and 2021 has come. Even though it may still be a very difficult year, as a lot of people have been predicting and forewarning, a new year still brings new hope, and in this situation, any sliver of hope and any light at the end of the tunnel is very muchContinue reading “Happy New Year, 2021!”
The Song of Achilles – The old story made new
To tell the truth, my knowledge of Achilles before picking up this book was just limited to Troy and his Achilles heel. I watched the movie Troy, starring Brad Pitt, long long ago, but I did not know by then that the flow of events portrayed in that movie was so far from the IliadContinue reading “The Song of Achilles – The old story made new”
Wind River – Justice is served, but a bit cold (and late)
It is often said that revenge is a dish best served cold. Well, maybe not for justice. When justice is served cold (and late), someone has had to suffer injustice, and no matter what, it may be too little too late, and there will be a bitter taste in the end. And that was whatContinue reading “Wind River – Justice is served, but a bit cold (and late)”
Avengers Infinity War – Arguably the best Marvel movie ever
Normally I don’t like movies with ensemble cast. This is an exception. Despite the huge number of heroes, the movie still gave them enough time to shine instead of just a blink-and-you-miss-it appearance. And despite the various locations, the flow of the whole movie was clear and logical and not ended up in a messContinue reading “Avengers Infinity War – Arguably the best Marvel movie ever”
Transformers The Last Knight, thankfully, finally!!!
Thankfully I did not go to the cinema, and only watched the movie when it was available for home viewing. Seriously I could not understand how the producer and director could justify this production. It was a pain to watch, and a torturous two hour of screen time. Boom. Boom. And boom. The end. TheContinue reading “Transformers The Last Knight, thankfully, finally!!!”
When the leader is blinded by hate, the team will suffer
When the leader is blinded by hate, the team will surely suffer. That has been proven true again and again, and don’t worry, you are not reading a blog post on career advice. It’s a movie review post, and the two movies that I have watched recently both reminded me of that simple yet hardContinue reading “When the leader is blinded by hate, the team will suffer”
Bread Street Singapore – Nice, comfortable meal
(All credits of the photos in this post go to the original owners. We did not take any photo since we were focusing too much on enjoying the food :P) Since it was Valentine’s Day, and we have not gone out alone (without the kids) for quite a while, I decided to go upscale aContinue reading “Bread Street Singapore – Nice, comfortable meal”
Yeah Inferno – A Good Movie, ‘Though Much Simpler than the Book
For Dan Brown’s fans, this must be the most awaited movie of the year. Especially after a long wait since Angels & Demons a few years ago. Well, I do not know if it satisfies all the hardcore fans or not, but it’s definitely not a bad movie at all. If there is one thingContinue reading “Yeah Inferno – A Good Movie, ‘Though Much Simpler than the Book”
The Girl with the dragon tattoo – A movie that makes you want to go back to the book
It has been quite a while since we last saw a movie so good that we dropped by the book store after that to check out the book from which it was adapted. This movie is one of them. In fact, we even hunted for another version of it, to watch, compare and appreciate. AndContinue reading “The Girl with the dragon tattoo – A movie that makes you want to go back to the book”
