Lust, Caution Movie Review

From the moment that I first saw the movie's preview I had determined that I wasn't going to miss it, and when I finally watched it it just went ahead and exceeded all expectations. Lust, Caution (Se, Jie) is an amazing piece of story - telling - an intricate, tightly wound tale between lovers whose [...]

Tropa de Elite and other planned reviews

I just watched the highly controversial Tropa de Elite, which I was desperate to see after seeing just a few seconds of a report about it from BBC news and consequently Googling it up.

Everyone, meet Karen. Karen, everyone.

Funny how, since I've not blogged for such a long time, I actually forgot I had one. There I was thinking - man I should blog about this (topic), but how? Then I realized I had good ol' lefthandedlayup. Shame shame.
Anyway, ladies and gents, meet Karen. To the world, an IBM X21 P3, 256mb 20gb [...]

Ok so this is one of those ‘this is what i did today in pictures’ posts - A Semi-Review of the Sony DSC-N2

Which, I'm sure, is probably not gonna win any awards, but what the heck who cares. At any rate, this scores as a techie post as well. See, I've two new cameras at my disposal, the bombastically blingy DSC-N2 and the fashion-y DSC-T50, which Jill has already reviewed for Kikay.
So the thing is, the PR [...]

300 Movie Review

I gather that a great number of girls as well as men are raving about 300. And as we speak, the movie has broken 3.12 million US last weekend, and I am amongst those completely unsurprised.

Review - Like Water For Chocolate

I spent most of Christmas Day doing two things, reading and trying to sleep. Since I am not very good at the latter, the day was saved halfway by the former as I happened to pick up one of the most sumptuous books I've ever read, [tag]Like Water For Chocolate[/tag] by Mexican author [tag]Laura Esquivel[/tag].

Pure Shmure

I know these are harsh words, but trust me when I say I've tried not to say them. Here it is: I do not recommend the 02 XDA Atom Pure.
I've had it for longer than two weeks, and as of yet I've not had it provide any level of reliability or usability.

Serves me right.

Just when I make a post saying how I can 'post all day everyday', my PC went bonkers, and I was offline.
