No Place Like London

Anyone watched Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street? The movie was actually based on the hit Broadway musical, which tells about Benjamin Barker a.k.a ST, who sets up a barber shop down in London which is the basis for a sinister partnership with his fellow tenant, Mrs. Lovett. The movie has a lot of interesting song example....No place Like London. (Johnny Depp, Jamie Campbell Bower) Antony: I have sailed the world, beheld its wonders From the Dardenells, to the mountains of Peru But there's no place like London! Sweeney: No, there's no place like London. Antony: Mr. Todd? Sweeney: You are young. Life has been kind to you. You will learn. There's a hole in the world like a great black pit and the vermin of the world inhabit it and its morals aren't worth what a pig could spit and it goes by the name of London. At the top of the hole sit the privileged few Making mock of the vermin in the lower zoo turning beauty to filth and greed... ...

Superman

I love Superman ever since I was a kid and now that I'm growing up, I realize that this superhero is even more special than the comic shown. Hehe...well, anyway...I love the song Superman by Five For Fighting...I think the song speaks of how every individual felt, as one seek to be a Hero... I can’t stand to fly I’m not that naive I’m just out to find The better part of me I’m more than a bird...i’m more than a plane More than some pretty face beside a train It’s not easy to be me Wish that I could cry Fall upon my knees Find a way to lie About a home I’ll never see It may sound absurd...but don’t be naive Even heroes have the right to bleed I may be disturbed...but won’t you concede Even heroes have the right to dream It’s not easy to be me Up, up and away...away from me It’s all right...you can all sleep sound tonight I’m not crazy...or anything... I can’t stand to fly I’m not that naive Men weren’t meant to ride With clouds ...

WHY SO SERIOUS...about Dark Knight?

Today it was revealed by Variety that The Dark Knight will rank up $900 million over the weekend worldwide. A lot of people have really praised this movie for it's clever writing and Heath Ledger's performance.. But it seems to me it may be more than just his performance that got people into theaters. I also think that it may not have much to do with the script either. The Dark Knights success I think was driven mostly by people who were curious to see Heath Ledgers "final performance". This was also fueled by people "in the know" who said his portrayl of Joker was Oscar worthy. Which I would say is a bit much. But is there something more to this? I mean were we already expecting Heath to give a stellar performance and whether or not he did.. Were people simply caught up in a crazy mass of agreement that no one could ever have given a better performance? I tend to think people were. Most fans who have seen this movie have seen it multiple times and for some...

Guang Liang lyrics

I started loving Chinese songs thanks to Malaysian singer, Guang Liang (Michael Wong). Here is the Pin Yin of Tong Hua, my favourite as it was the first song that attracted me to look at Chinese songs.
