UP


Some might think a grown up man watching cartoon is kindda funny but Pixar animations are worth watching for.
I wanna watch Pixar's latest work UP but i am keeping busy (playing games).
As of 18Jul09, UP grosses $323,895,668 worldwide with the budget of $175 Millions (quite high for animation movie, uhn!!). That means not bad for a movie even before it's DVD release.
Last year, another Pixar's work Wall-E captured my heart. So I am looking forward for this UP.
Hopefully, in very soon future, I am able to watch it in good quality in any way, any how.

Cold Fear


Cold Fear (2005) is another Ubisoft published game.
It is tipical survival horror game in 3rd person aspect.

It didn't get critical acclaim as much as it should.
Maybe be cause of it came out at wrong time.
(About the same time with Resident Evil 4)

But I love this game. I played it in my good times back in 2006.

And even more it runs perfectly fine on Intel GMA x3100 with High Setting.

The Wrestler



This time around, if you read about The 81st Academy Awards,

everyone talking about The Wrestler as the one of the biggest release of 2008. Especially about lead actor Mickey Rourke for Best Actor. In this movies Rourke plays as a fading 80's top-card professional wrestler who wrestles in various independent wrestling promotion for his living. Even with his life-threatening heart attack, he decides to wrestle one more match in the end.

Well, since this movie is so popular and I'm being a big wrestling fan, I spent my whole night to watch this one from Justin TV. Even movie finished, I couldn't understand what movie is trying to say.

But one thing for sure is the acting of Rourke is still remaining in my flash memories and even in my heart. A fallen star wanting to fight back is glory. A headstrong man who believes the path he has chosen is right and continues walking his path even though it is too rough.

And if I think carefully about this film, it shows some parts of wrestlers real life. All of us know wrestling is fake (but I'd say it is scripped). But why may people in this world watching wrestling show weekly and why wrestlers are still wrestling for their professional even as the part of their life? The Wrestler will answer for those question.

Even more, the movie original sound track provided by Bruce Springsteen also makes movie stronger. Here is a video clip from Youtube about the song by Bruce Springsteen and some of the cut scenes for the movie.
