300: Rise of an Empire




One of the movie that I watched recently in the cinema is 300: Rise of an Empire and overall, I would rate the movie average. The movie consists a lot of "blood splashing" scene as well as slow-mo during the fight, which somehow irritates me most of the time.







For those who watched 300 before, Rise of an Empire is not actually the sequel to 300; but rather it tells the story before "300" as well as after King Leonidas and the a force of 300 discipline and committed Spartans were slaughtered by the Persians at Thermopylae - and Themistocles uses the death of these 300 Spartans as the martyr to unite the Greece in attempt to stop the invading Persian forces led by the mortal-turned-God Xerxes and and Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy.



It started off with Persians invading the independent Greece and Themistocles with his cleverly devised strategy fend off the Persians and at the same time kill the then Persian King which led to revenge attempt by the ambitious Xerxes; with Artemisia - a pretty navy commander who makes Xerxes to the man he was in attempt for her to avenge her bitterness towards the Greece.

As the story goes on, Themistocles attempt to unite the Greece but his ambition was turned down by King Leonidas who was arrogant to go on battle with only 300 discipline, courageous and committed Spartans against the Persians which are many times more in number. With his death, the Queen of Spartans lead the Spartans to help the struggling Greece warriors which they finally fend off the invading Persians.

Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol

Anyone who has already watched Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol would have notice that Mission Impossible 4 is a little bit different from the previous three Mission Impossible(s). I am not sure why there are many critics on Tom Cruise acting, but to me, he is ok. I mean, I know a lot of times, they are saying that Mission Impossible is like talking about himself, but I really beg to differ. Mission Impossible is not really about Tom Cruise alone, I mean he is the leader, he do most of the dangerous work, but behind him is a group of capable secret agents who can support him in all the missions. Anyway, back to Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol. The story started with a chase on a roof in one of a building in Budapest and the agent look so cool when he jumped down and look upwards to shoot the chasers.....but however, was later assassinated by a female assassin. Then we have Ethan Hunt break a prison from Russia with the help of IMF agents and proceed to accept a mission to infi...

Zirkzee's Late Heroics Ignite Manchester United's Premier League Campaign with Victory Over Fulham

Manchester United got their Premier League campaign off to a promising start with a dramatic late 1-0 victory over Fulham, thanks to debutant Joshua Zirkzee’s 87th-minute goal. The £36.5 million summer signing from Bologna stepped off the bench to deliver a moment of magic, securing three crucial points for Erik ten Hag’s side in front of a jubilant Old Trafford crowd. The relief was evident as Ten Hag celebrated the winner with both fists clenched, knowing how much the result meant after a challenging preseason. United struggled to convert their chances for most of the match, with Bruno Fernandes deployed as a false nine. Despite the pressure, it was Zirkzee who emerged as the hero, providing a much-needed spark and focal point in attack when introduced in the 61st minute. Ten Hag was quick to praise his new striker, saying, "It’s important for a striker to get off the mark quickly, and Zirkzee did exactly that. The win is satisfying, especially at the start of the season. We’re ...
