VERY short work week

hehehe yes that's right this week is a short work week for me.... but then i'm making it even shorter.... a close friend of mine, a co-movie-freakazoid partner in crime is getting hitched to the woman of his dreams this saturday in KL, and we're gonna be attending!

i know he's probably not going to be free enuff to read this post till way after the ceremonies, so i'll post the full details when i'm back.

oh did i mention....on sunday i'm headed way way south to our neighbour country... why may you ask.... well since we don't get any quality performances/concerts/shows/plays here in bolehland.... i had to make do with what i could.... no way was i going to miss a show by Russell Peters eh....

so catch you guys next week!

mind of a genius? maybe, but i would like to peek into it...

caught an interesting article this morning, an excerpt from an interview done with the manager of a certain opposition club. now while he has been the scourge of scousers for many years, i do find his interviews, and writings to be one of great experiences and knowledge of a man who has indeed had his fair share of em.

yes George, we're talking about ur fav , Sir Alex..... interesting read this one....

In an exclusive interview, the Manchester United manager offers candid reflections on his remarkable career - and sets his retirement date

Headlines from across the web

As you all know Liverpool were decidedly the better team against Chelsea, not allowing them to dictate play, pumping high balls rather then play us off the park, and were limited to long range shots. Xabi Alonso's goal at 10 minutes was eventually the decider, as Liverpool matched and controlled a major portion of the game!

Here are a collection of the headlines from various news portals:

Happy Diwali

spirit combined with agression

Yes yes it's me talking about my beloved reds again. Some call them kampung champs, some call em comeback kings, etc. Media has all kinds of names for them too. And I'm sure after Saturdays gritty display to emerge with 3 points, the media will have written more about the comback stuff again. Admitted, while we have been doing that to form some kind of habit in the past few games, it's odd when Arsenal do it i only heard this comment " with their skill and flair, it's just a matter of time for them to get on level pegging again"... well there you have it for media bias.

Well here's mine!

1. Hats of to Rafa, for going for the win, instead of sitting back to defend once we had equalised. He has more faith in his team this time around, taking of the LEFT and RIGHT backs, going gung ho and only propping in an extra central defender way deep into extra time to eat up the seconds.

2. Well done Dirk, for trying effortlessly, and almost coming away with a hattrick. Great play!

3. Damn these teams who have, now for the 5th game in a row, tried to take out Xavi Alonso with potentially season ending tackles.

Onwards to Madrid! (Atletico not Real you jokers)

Max Payne

Opening day for Marky Wahlberg's new action flick gleefully served up a cool turn out for this former video game star Max Payne to come alive on the big screen. A good story line, some great action scenes, cool background soundtrack with several interesting cameo's

[CAUTION: characters spoilers ahead. Close page now if you don't want to know. Don't say i didn't warn you. You're actually already reading below. Why do i even bother]

from very recognisable TV stars : Grey's Anatomy(1), Prison Break(1), Heroes(2), 70s Show(1),Grounded For Life(1); and a couple of music celebs: Nelly Furtado, Ludacris. Not to mention good support from Chris O'Donnell (totally didn't see that coming) n also Beau Bridges (oh yeah new Bond gal Olga Kurylenko also makes an appearance) .

All in all slick action sequences, cool graphics n animation effects made a stable (but already popular) storyline work well. A sequel in the works maybe??
3.5 stars from me....

Sunday matinee

movie of the week.... managed to catch Eagle Eye. nice, worth the cinema cash forked out, not much of a brainy movie, but still enjoyable. Shia Labeouf is ever developing into a stellar performer, though he still looks a little boyish. Michelle Monaghan also puts in a decent turn, glad to see her getting more high profile roles. Aptly supported by Rosario Dawson n one of my favs, Billy Bob Thorton, this movie more then makes up for some of the lame fare (case in point:Disaster Movie) put out in the recent weeks after the summer rush. 3 stars!

Next week : video game icon of the 90s, Max Payne makes his debut with Mark Wahlberg in the lead role. watch this space.
