Plants vs Zombie

Plants_vs_Zombies_cover

Now on your iPhone as well.

If you have tonnes of time, an iPhone and 3 bucks to spare, (THREE BUCKS – that’s like eating a lunch or something) please do yourself a favor and get this game.

iPod touch also can. *hint hint* someone who’s been growing mushroom, now you can REALLY grow some mushroom to whack the zombies.

A Serious Man

Aseriousman

Lawrence Gopnik is a man in trouble. His wife is trying to divorce him, his daughter has nothing better to do than to wash her hair, his son is smoking marijuana behind his back, his brother is a nut staying with him in his house, his student tried to bribe him and some record company is billing him for things he didnt buy.

Yet, at the end of the story, you don’t get no answers to all his problems. Seriously, it’s either too abstract, or i’m just too noob to critic films. i am earnestly hoping that it’s the later. i have absolutely no idea how on earth this film can be on the list of one of the 10 best films of last year. i am sincerely looking for any enlightenment if you watch this film. TELL ME WHY IT IS ON THE OSCAR LIST.

the only thing i can make out of the film, is “who cares about Lawrence Gopnik? He’s just another average Jew who struggles with his life problems, and so do we.”

If movies are going in this direction, we’d be doomed. I’m serious.

Plus backache, finger ache, finger bleed, sweat all over, tears. sweat, blood and tears.

On a side note, i have my mp3 while doing stuff like that, and just realised that ‘Khalil’ Fong (方大同) sounds like ‘go and play’ in Foochow.

The Informant!

TheInformant2009MP

Matt Damon is superb in this dark comedy, and i really have to say, sometimes you just feel like slapping Mark Whitacre across the face when you watch the movie.

Until i found out that ADM is actually a real company, and Mark Whitacre is actually a real whistleblower.

I don’t know why this movie wasn’t really shown widely in Singapore, but this must be one of the most interesting movie of the year. Unlike blockbusters and all, this is a movie you can sit back and enjoy a few laughs but never stop thinking about how true this whole tale is :)
