Changeling
Changeling (2008) – on rental. One has to hand it to Clint Eastwood. As an actor, his roles as the tough-guy with sardonic wit and humor were always memorable. As a director however, he’s produced critically-acclaimed film after film. Two

The Young Victoria
The Young Victoria (2009) – on rental. There are three English Queens that I have a reading interest in: Queen Elizabeth I, the current Elizabeth, and Queen Victoria. One of the most remarkable events in the latter’s reign and life
17 Again
17 Again (2009) – on rental. The length of my DVD home rental queue fluctuates quite a bit over any given period of time. At times I could have as many as a several dozen films and TV series queued
Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim
Cross-posting from the other blog. There’s a lot of fantasy-based real-time strategy games available on retail, but none of them are quite like Majesty 2. I played the first game – aptly just called Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim –
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) – on rental. It’s telling for a film if the only good portions of it are in the first 10 minutes. Wolverine begins with a flash back to 1845 where Logan a.k.a. Wolverine and his almost
The Force is (not) strong with this one
I saw on The Straits Times online today an article that gave me chuckle. I wasn’t going to blog about this – I’ve been madly busy at ISATE 2009. But my elder brother sent me a forward of the same
Catch Firefly
Yang and I have been watching every episode of Firefly together for the past few evenings when Hannah was napping. Truth to tell, I didn’t think much of it after watching its first episode. Thought the captain was boring to
Tom Ang in Singapore
Tom Ang – the UK-based photographer whose How to Photograph Absolutely Everything book I enjoy reading so much – was apparently in Singapore to do a photography series in Singapore. As far as I can tell from the series trailer,
Duplicity
Duplicity (2009) – on rental. I know a lot of film goers like watching Julia Roberts. She was a relative unknown until her breakout role as a hooker with a good heart in 1990’s Pretty Woman, winning a deserved Golden
Serenity and Firefly – Part 2
Despite that the series comprised just 14 episodes before it was cancelled, the series was commercially very successful on DVD sales, and spawned a film called Serenity in 2005 that continued the stories that ended after the 14th episode in
Serenity and Firefly – Part 1
One wildly popular TV series that I watched but never quite got interested in was Joss Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The long running series starring the (very) delicious looking Sarah Michelle Gellar ran for seven years, the last of
TV-watching baby
Here’s something we’re not quite sure if it’s a good thing or not. Since the last 2 weeks, Hannah has been increasingly expecting attention whenever she’s awake. The mobile that hangs over the cot that worked so well before (blogged
