Reflections of parents of not-so-young-kids-anymore
Sherlock Holmes (2009) – at AMK Hub. Reimaginations of famous characters, superheroes and TV series are really quite in the vogue these days. We’ve had new interpretations of Batman, Spider-man, Superman, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek – and even a remake
Up (2009) – on rental. I must be one of few rare filmgoers out there when it comes to Up. I didn’t think it was very good, and certainly not anywhere near Pixar’s best animated films: after this one, my
Braveheart (1995) on HD. I’ve blogged here briefly about this 1995 film directed, produced and lead-acted by Mel Gibson before. But after recently acquiring the Blu-ray disc for it and watching it again with Ling, decided to do a longer

The flight to Kumamoto City on the 12 December was packed with Japanese high-school girls. From what my Japanese counterpart remarked when I was at their college, at about this time of the year, as many as 20,000 of their
Avatar (2009) – at Cineleisure Orchard yesterday. James Cameron is one of those movie directors whom Hollywood seems happy to sign off huge budgets to produce pet projects of his… and with good reason why. He makes films only once
And the last stack of HDR compositions: of Kyu-Hosokawa Gyobutei. These were the hardest HDR exposures I’ve done so far: they’re all handheld shots taken indoors. Well, that’s a wrap for all the pictures taken of my stay in Kumamoto,
