Transcendence

I would say that I'm quite impress with the movie Transcendence although there are not many good reviews about the movie. In fact, Rotten Tomatoes only give Transcendence 18%; while on average the movie is getting slightly below average rating. The movie is about Doctor Will Caster (Johnny Depp); a foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence who was at that time working on a machine that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions. His work made him famous and at the same time made him the prime target of anti-technology extremists who will do whatever it takes to stop him. An attempt of assassination finally become the catalyst for him to succeed in his experiment, by becoming a participant in his transcendence. In attempt to re-create Will, his wife, Evelyn and best friend Max Waters upload Will to the digital world, using the same concept of Will's machine, PINN - and eventually they succeeded.  ...

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.

[Lyrics] Let Her Go by Passenger

  Well, You only need the light when it's burning low, Only miss the sun when it starts to snow, Only know you love her when you let her go. Staring at the bottom of your glass Hoping one day you'll make a dream last But dreams come slow and they go so fast You see her when you close your eyes Maybe one day you'll understand why Everything you touch surely dies But you only need the light when it's burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know you love her when you let her go Only know you've been high when you're feeling low Only hate the road when you're missing home Only know you love her when you let her go Staring at the ceiling in the dark Same old empty feeling in your heart 'Cause Love comes slow and it goes so fast Well you see her when you fall asleep But never to touch and never to keep Cause you loved her too much and you dived too deep Well you only need the light when...

Frozen

If you have yet to watch "Frozen" in the cinema, now it is the time to get the Blu-ray version of the movie from Amazon and I personally think that Frozen is nice with catchy soundtracks - I like most of the soundtracks from Frozen and especially like Let It Go by Idina Menzel and kinda addicted to "Do You Want To Build a Snowman?" - the song that was sang by the three phases of Anna, from child to teenager and finally grown up. Frozen tells about the two princesses in the Kingdom of Arendelle - Elsa and Anna, with Elsa the special one with the power to create snow and ice. One evening while the two princesses were playing, Elsa accidentally hit Anna with an ice blast knocking her unconscious. and turning several strands of her hair white. Upon discovering this, the King and Queen rush them to the group of trolls where Anna was "healed" and the troll warn them that the power that Elsa possess can be used to destroy as well if Elsa did not learn to c...

[Lyrics] Frozen "Let It Go" by Idina Menzel

I'm not sure how many of you have watched the movie "Frozen" but honestly, it was great. I am not a big fan of cartoons, but this movie was great, especially the music.  This is one of the music that I loved the most and thus, I decided to share it here... Check out the lyrics here: The snow glows white on the mountain tonight Not a footprint to be seen A kingdom of isolation, And it looks like I’m the Queen. The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried Don’t let them in, don’t let them see Be the good girl you always have to be Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know Well, now they know Let it go, let it go Can’t hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn away and slam the door I don’t care What they’re going to say Let the storm rage on, The cold never bothered me anyway It’s funny how some distance Makes everything seem small And the fears that...
