I enjoy a good story. And I enjoy a good story told on screen even more. One that will send me to into a magical world away from the one I am in now. A place where I can see all sorts of creatures like unicorns, flying monkeys and weird people who can breath fire - or something like that. A place which is literally a castle in the clouds. Yeah I enjoy a good fantasy show at times. So its no wonder when I saw this trailer it left me when an itch….. Ok that sounded off… but it’s a good itch. It’s the movie Inkheart.

I’m sure everyone remembers Lord of The Rings, which I feel can be deemed as one of THE movies of the decade. That same producer is now bringing you Inkheart.

Synopsis

Mo Folchart (Brendan Fraser) is a father who possesses a secret ability to bring characters from books to life when he reads them aloud.But when Mo accidentally brings a power-hungry villain from a rare children’s fable to life, the villain kidnaps Mo’s daughter and demands Mo to bring other evil fictional characters to life. In an attempt to rescue his daughter, Mo assembles a disparate group of friends - both real and magic - and embarks on a journey to save her and set things right. - Taken from Cinema Online

Yet another fire dude.

Andy Serkis as Capricorn. Can you still see Gollum on his face? 

Oooh pretty horsey! That’s a unicorn .. duh!

Makes you wonder if you could turn a book into a reality, which book would you pick? …. I’m having a tough time on choosing which one.

I have this habit where when i’m interested in a movie, I tend to do research on it quite a fair bit. Ranging from things to what they did behind the scenes, when is the movie coming out to things that are related to the movie. A site I enjoy going to, just to see what are the upcoming movies and also to see if i can win some freebies is Cinema Online. Browsing the website I found that they ARE having a contest for the movie! The winner of this simple contest will get two free tickets to catch the movie Inkheart. All you gotta do is click on this contest link here. 

Inkheart is said to be released in our cinemas 22 January 2009. But hey if you do the contest, you will get to watch it a day before everyone else, that’s 21 Jan (Wednesday) people. Now stop prancing and get to the contest. It’s simple enoug. You can find out all the details here.

By the way, i’ve given away two clues in this post for the contest. See of you can spot them :P

t’s the last day of the year 2008. A lot of stuff has happened this year, which has made this all the memorable and i’ll forever treasure it. Looking back, I did quite a fair bit this year. Nothing that has been smashingly out of the park kind of homerun - but at least i started and did something, even if it is small for now. Taking a walk down memory lane to see what i’ve done..

At the beginning of 2008 February to be more specific. I left my stable job at McCann Erickson, which was also the place [...] Continue Reading…

I totally can’t wait for May 1st 2009. 

The much anticipated trailer of the X-Men Origins: Wolverine is out. I seriously expect this movie to be the blockbuster hit next year. The trailer looks promising and with a cast that’s stellar.

I’ll just share the cast list : Hugh Jackman as the ever scruffy and testosterone filled man with claws. Wolverine also known as Logan or even James Howlett, is back! In this movie, we’ll find out a bit more on the relationship between him and Sabertooth. Why is it that they hate and fight with one another so much. And how did [...] Continue Reading…

After taking things a bit too seriously in screen acting, or even since the day i started learning how to view films critically. I can never watch something ever the same again and same goes for even theatre. Half the time now I’m trying to see whether what I’m watching is believeable. So tragic, I know! I can’t enjoy stuff like i use to these days. 

But that won’t stop me from watching them A couple of months back i saw the movie Mama Mia with Meryl Streep starring in it. I saw that with Min Li and what [...] Continue Reading…

While I’m still in the holiday mood. Here’s looking at some lovely New Year Wallpaper. It’s still 4 days away, till the clock strikes midnight and 2008 will be but a memory. I’ve gone through a number of sites and as always, I still return to Deviantart. Cause it never fails in letting me find gorgeous artwork. I did manage to find some cool ones from another external site called 123India.Santabanta . So here’s yet another list of 20 New Year Wallpaper for 2009.

There is always going to be a Christmas wish list. Doesn’t matter if you are a boy or girl, adult, kid or a pet (i’m not playing here). There is going to be a list of wants that people will have in their heads. My previous post had me sharing two christmas wallpapers, you can check out here. In reference to that post, I promised that i’ll put something else as my second gift to others. And here it is. 

My very own long long long list of Christmas Tutorials for you to try and experiment with. 100 Christmas [...] Continue Reading…

It’s the season of the year which i enjoy the most. I just have this happy and light feeling whenever Christmas is about to come around. Listening to christmas carols, special collection of songs sung by our favourite pop artist, to see all the snowy decor hung on the walls. Ohh just little silly things that are ’suppose’ to represent christmas. It’s not about the presents under the christmas tree. It’s not about the cookies or the stockings or the chestnuts roasting by the fire (well we don’t have a fire here anyway).

It’s a time to share, love and [...] Continue Reading…

Today was I having a rerun of some movies I got stored on my hard disk. And it just so happens that most of the movies i have are comedies with Adam Sandler starring in them. Which got me watching his movie ‘Click’ again. 

Adam Sandler is best known as the movie comedian. Hard to actually take most of his films seriously since they are always shown in a lighthearted manner. However i think that is the best thing about the stuff he’s done so far. Like ‘Click’ and ‘You Don’t Mess With The Zohan’, both touched on certain topics that left [...] Continue Reading…

I’m a fan of Miley Cyrus and I do enjoy her cutesy wutesy song ‘7 things’. While browsing on Youtube today I found this parody of the song uploaded, directed, edited and sung by this Youtuber called Venetian Princess. Her real name is Jodie Rivera.

Most of her videos are parodies of a number of music videos. She does have a couple of her own songs and music videos though.  She’s terribly pretty (that’s a good thing not a bad thing :P) and her lyrics have some great humour to it. 

This song is just cute. Not poignant or anything just [...] Continue Reading…

Upgrade.. yet again. While I don’t like it when I have to upgrade my wordpress. I must say that I quite like the new interface of Wordpress 2.7. This is already the second time that wordpress has upgaded it’s layout this year and waddya know just before Christmas. Wordpress present for wordpress bloggers. hehe. 

It may take a while, to get used to it but so far I love the new layout. This is what it looks like on my dummy wordpress admin dashboard. 

Let’s take a look at the latest dashboard. Firstly, everything is now ajaxified. You can drag and minimize [...] Continue Reading…
