Dark Knight @Boutique Cinema,The Gardens Mid Valley

I was at the movie premier of Dark Night at the New Boutique Cinema at the Gardens Midvalley last week .I didn’t know that GSC had a theater at the Gardens till i got these premier tickets.

The security for the movie was extremely tight with no electronic devices being allowed into the cinema, I had to deposit my mobile phone and Valcy had to even deposit her iPod to the security.You couldn’t blame them for those measures considering the level of privacy that’s prevalent here, but then again i don’t think that those distributing these movies get their copies from movie premiers,because movies hit the pasar malam shelves long before the premiers are shown! We were given little tickets to collect them after the movie. At the cinema, we were given air filled pop corn and water as well.

I have been waiting to watch Dark Night for a while now even more after the death of Heath Ledger early this year. There were stories saying that the actor was having some major depression issues and was too wound up with his role as the joker in the movie.

My view of the movie… It was brilliant! Heath Ledger stole the show with his superb performance as the joker. He defiantly made the role his with a superb psycho performance with Christian Bale,Aaron Eckhart,Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman doing a great job as well. This movie is a must watch and i wont reveal too much as its not been shown at the local theaters yet! How good was it? I just cant watch night movies on weekdays, normally end up sleeping off but i was wide awake throughout this one!

China Olympics

Its a Olympics year this year! This edition will be hosted by the fastest growing economy of the world, China!This installement is also set to be one of the most controversial Olympics ever with many requirements to host by the International Olympic Committee with the games nearing.

There have been so much drama with regards to the torch runs have not gone as smoothly as one would expect with resistance in many legs of the torch run. People have been loosing their homes in older neighborhoods as Tiananmen Square looms in the background. Old buildings and alleyways are torn down to make way for modern development in preparation for the 2008 Olympics, often forcing residents from their homes without compensation.

In the name of development and preparations there are lots of un-pleasant things that are happening. I hope that these issues are looked at as criteria in awarding games to a nation.

Having said that, speed clean-up’s normally leaves many holes in the system, Should countries be given the honor of hosting a world event like the Olympics if there is so much dirt that is still no cleaned up?

This is a series of stories building up to the games..Watch this space

Meet the Spartans

Meet the Spartans is the latest parody movie that has been released in the theathers. If you watched 300 you would know how serious the movie was and making a worthy parody would have been some serious work if they were expecting some joy out of it. The cast featured Diedrich Bader, Kevin Sorbo, Jim Piddock, Method Man, Sean Maguire and was directed by Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer .This movie also toke a swipe at Ghost Rider,Rocky Balboa,Transformers,Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. In my view it was a load of crap. If i watched a stupidly funny movie it has got to worthy but this one was poor. Apparently it has raked in some $18mil since its launch date of Jan 25th and it really makes me wonder if are the movies that poor that people are going out to spend money on movies.Hopefully some quality movies come out soon to get my head of the money i wasted on this one!

Liverpool FC Form Guide

If the form guide is anything to go by Liverpool is finally hitting some kind of form in the BPL. They are on a 8 game run since their last lost and scoring a staggering 24 goals in 8 games! With Benitez under fire from the American owners, Rafa had to let the results do the talking and the team responded with some awesome results.

Arsenal (H) 1-1
Cardiff City (H) 2-1
Blackburn Rovers (A) 0-0
Besiktas (H) 8-0
Fulham (H) 2-0
Newcastle United (A) 3-0
FC Porto (H) 4-1
Bolton Wanderers (H ) 4-0

To me Rafa has become more cautious in his approach, he is now taking games to teams and not worrying on seting up may he’s team according to how the opposition may come out to field.I feel this is key to ensuring they continue winning.The core of the team has got to be fixed and changes need to be done,players gain access to the first team based on form and fatigue. This is very important in the league at least! The manager can rotate and chop and change in cup games because that is a different cattle of fish.
