I watched Where the Wild Things Are in the same weekend as the Box, even though the two are very different genres, both are adapted from very short stories (children’s or not). It’s good to compare how the two different approaches where the source material was too short to fill the entire length of a movie. In the Box Richard Kelly pretty much wrap up the original plot in about 20 mins and for the rest of the movie is all his imagination and has no trace of …

Before I get to the movie, I want to briefly talk about the short story that it was based on first. The short story titled Button, Button by Richard Matheson was a very short moral story that you can finish it in under 10 minutes. It is about a couple who received a locked box that contains a button and a note that tells them Mr. Steward will be visiting to explain. Indeed Mr. Steward showed up and give the wife an offer (husband was at work): …

From the moment it was announced, I knew I have to get my hands on the Magic Mouse! Well, to be fair I would love to get my hands on every single hardware that was announced by Apple on that same day, especially the 27″ iMac! But for now, Magic Mouse is the easiest target!
It was available for people to play with in the Apple Store immediately but none of them actually have it in stock for you to buy until this week. Today I finally got one from …

It’s always scary to watch a remake or re-imagination or a film adaptation of something that you adored back when you were a kid.

Luckily the new film give new life into the story, and the 3D looks has enough resemblance of the old look that by the middle of the movie you would be used to the …

Zombieland was an action comedy that is pure fun, and oh, it has zombies in it! The plot is pretty standard zombie flick – virus turn human into flesh-eating zombies, and now there’s only very few people left in this world.  It was only two months after the zombie apocalypse, but most places are already deserted.  Woody Harrelson find the perfect role to play here as a guy who find killing zombies as fun as sport, and his only passion is to find the remaining Twinkies on Earth! Jesse Eisenberg …

This week is truly a concert week, besides going to Regina’s concert the other day, Friday I went to Mika’s concert at United Palace Theater in Washington Heights.  The venue is unique because it is one of those classical theater back in the golden days.  The decorations are like nothing You have seen before,  Seriously if the place is maintained a little bit better, the interior is pretty better looking than Radio City.  Of course the major disadvantage is the location – 175th St uptown.  I think most of the …
