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

Boom De Ya Da!
There’s a lovely video that’s been making the rounds for a year now, and was part of Discovery Channel’s advertizing campaign. It’s a cheerful song which will certainly stick in your mind for a while.:) The funniest thing is that
I Speake English!
The last Beauty Pageant I watched was in 1987. That was the one time Singapore played host to the Miss Universe pageant, with our very own Marion Nicole Teo placed 8th in the overall competition eventually. Fast forward 22 years
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
