Black Swan -- Natalie Portman

Watched two totally different movie by Natalie Portman -- "Black Swan" and "No String Attached"
One was comedy while another was psycho...I was totally impressed by the actress Natalie, indeed, she was the winner of Best Actress in Academy Awards 2011..

The story of Black Swan is basically showing how a ballet dancer Nina (Portman) wins the lead in "Swan Lake" and compete for the role of the delicate White Swan - Princess Odette...however, struggling to survive in the industry, the boss has to come out with more creative presentation as well as pushing the dancer to the outrageous... Nina slowly loses her mind as she becomes more and more like Odile, the Black Swan... her illusion, the "black swan" gave her the courage and strength that she had never had but also took away her soul...

The story ends with beautiful splash of blood on the stage...

Bravo!!

Everyone one of us has this "black swan" within...just that we still know how to play safe...
Inner of me love "Black Swan" but outer prefer "No Strings Attached"...lol...

Travel out of reality -- Gulliver's

Fantasy and imagination are always the best entertainment...

Gulliver's Travels was one of my favorite bed time story...which always give me a sweet dream voyages to Liliput...a tiny man kingdom...

However, Gulliver's Travels 2010 has slightly different story plot where I found it more exciting as its more closely narrating dreams of most people now a day... especially the villa house! haha...

 

Gulliver Lemuel (starring by Jack Black) is presented as a depressed and not satisfying person in his mail room job as well as in his life...he decides to talk to journalist Darcy Silverman (Amanda Peet) who admired by him for so long... End up, Gulliver manage to convinces Darcy that he could write a report about his travels (by plagiarises from other publications on the Internet). Darcy is impressed by his writing and presents Gulliver a task – to travel to the Bermuda Triangle and write an article about the legend of ships mysteriously disappearing in the area...

Adventure of Gulliver begins as he rent a boat to the triangle, caught in a freak storm, and washed up unconscious on the shore of Liliput...

Gulliver is captured and imprisoned because of his huge size...but later he become hero of the tiny population (save the princess from kidnapped, save the king out of fire and protect the kingdom from their enemy Blefuscu)...he claimed himself as president the awesome... the best part is Gulliver enjoy very much respect, power and luxury that he never had in his real life...anyhow, the story goes on with Gulliver's lies revealed and he has to overcome the hardship with who he really is...then of cause the story ended happily...

Jack Black is a definite comedian and I can see everyone carried hope and smile home after the show...lol...including me...

Facebook Mafia Addiction Again: Blackmail Photo Wanted

Chop off my fingers from clicking Facebook Mafia War game for almost a year, now I return.

Besides the latest country Italy to conquer, New York "Boss" tier has yet to be completed...

Why so important to complete "Boss" tier?
Because of this "Golden Throne" which generates energy for you at 2 times the normal rate.
And simply generate lots of extra energy to work!

6 ways for how to get "Blackmail Photo"

1. Ask from your mafia family.
2. Purchase 10 Sets of Blackmail Photos for 20 RP. Not a good deal...
3. As free gift by complete the require mission. Too stingy given only one set completed whole big mission! but better than none...
4. Do job "Obtain Compromising Photos" under the "Hitman" tier. But its not promising...just a chance to loot blackmail photos. Besides, you need concealable camera and spend 25 energy to perform the job. To obtain concealable camera, you need to "Rod an Electronic Store" under "Enforcer" tier and spend 21 energy.
5. Set up a few more mafia accounts and collect all the "Blackmail Photos" for the main account! tricky but works...applicable for other loots or collections as well...
6. Cheat code. please let me know if there is one.

Nicolas Cage -- Season of the Witch

The very first movie I watched in the new year of 2011, Season of the Witch, simply because of Nicolas Cage, one of my favorite actor. However, after the show, I wonder, "what's the name of the show again?"...."season of the bitch?"...my friend said so...or mishearing?

I was confused.
As a horror movie, it was not that scary...indeed a bit childish...but to say as an action movie, the actions were lousy...at the beginning, it was alright, the girl was said as witch, yes, Season of the Witch, of cause should be all about witch...but turned up it was demon?? there was none of "witch" business, just a young pretty girl possessed by demon...I think most audiences like myself were expecting some black magic and spell...let it be a black kitty or a broken broom??

Furthermore, this demon was kind of stupid, he wanted to destroy the Key of Solomon (a book) but he don't know the way to the monastery where the book was kept (but he can kill all the monks there before his arrival)...so he hide in the body of the pretty gal, Anna (so-called witch), and let the knights and priest to escort him (or her)...lastly demon shown up himself and fight...but he looked rather weak...skinny and small size...definitely he was defeated...old knights and priest all died, only survival -- the young man and women, Kay and Anna...imagine they live happily ever after...
End the story.

Its all about Nicolas Cage...just like the poster shown...

Piranha 2010 - summer buffet for the fish

I was sitting and took couple of minutes to recall but still, I can't remember what was so horror about "Jaws" in my memory... except its "te ren.........te ren.....teren..terenterenterenteren.." sound effect...

Well, with the technology and graphic effects, Piranha 2010 is definitely more "real"...

Piranha is kind of fresh water fish that is an omnivorous that inhabits in South America river. They are known for their sharp teeth and a voracious appetite for meat. In the movie, this species of piranha had in fact extinct, however, survived in under ground lake and being released after the earth tremors tear open a crack in the lake floor.

As usual, "tourists" are designed as the prey for those horrifying creature, piranha. Every year the population of sleepy Lake Havasu explodes from 5,000 to 50,000 for a single, wild weekend - the 4th of July, a riot of sun, drunken fun and sex-crazed mayhem. The scene run around sexy and joyful party. Then, started with the first bite at the butt of a pink lady, the scene then full of disgusting blood and scream.

Eyes drop off and eaten, face pealed off, half body missing and left over the skeleton... the one I like the most and amused me was, there were two guys helping and moving a lady who was injured to the shore...but one of the guy carelessly fall down and that pulling the lady's body into half!! hahaha...and the cast "girl cut in half" was starring by Nancy Walters.

The way of presenting the story is rather conservative and ordinary, not much surprises to me (besides the girl cut in half), but the graphic effects and sexy girls do enriched the whole movie.
