Showing at a local home cinema V

Posted on 17 Apr 2009   by CY

Continuing my series of posts on Home Cinema. Two great films in the last post in this series, but two awful ones now. Heroes (2006). This TV series is in its fourth year running now. The general outlay is that

The Sopranos

Posted on 8 Apr 2009   by CY

The three best ever TV drama series I’ve seen are: The Sopranos, Battlestar Galactica Reimagined, and The West Wing (the latter which I’ll blog about soon). Of these three, The Sopranos is probably the hardest to appreciate for most home

One way I get introduced to classics I haven’t heard before is, surprisingly, through science-fiction movies. Specifically, there has been over the years a bit of use of the classics in the Star Trek movies and TV series. And whenever

Posted on 13 Mar 2009   by CY

There’re just three ‘big’ movies on my “Must Watch” list this year: they’re Watchmen, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (!), and Star Trek. The first, Watchmen, has come and gone and I’ve blogged about it here the other week.

Who watches the Watchmen?

Posted on 8 Mar 2009   by CY

One of the earliest graphic novels I read as a young adult was Watchmen. My elder brother and I were both comic book readers and collectors in the mid 80s, and he acquired all twelve volumes of this series. The

Eagles and Birdies

Posted on 3 Mar 2009   by CY

A couple nights every week this couple of weeks is spent discharging my, well, yearly IPPT obligation. But the remaining free evenings I’ve been spending quite a bit of time in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09. Funnily, I have no

Posted on 2 Mar 2009   by CY

Singapore in itself isn’t very exciting outside eating and shopping, so many of us simply make use of our convenient location to travel. Singaporeans are a pretty lucky lot when it comes to traveling around the world. We’re situated right

Superhero Powers

Posted on 28 Feb 2009   by CY

I’m gonna do more frequent posts of Home Cinema with fewer movies but longer notes.:) Eagle Eye (2008). Techno thriller starring Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, and a whole bunch of military hardware, especially of the spy, surveillance and explosive sort.
