New York I Love You

Finally watched the movie New York I Love You. I have been looking forward to see it since I love the first film in this series paris, je t’aime. The film still has the theme of moments of love in a city, but the execution is entirely different. The different pieces of paris, je t’aime were put together very loosely, there might be some relationships between the characters of different pieces, but by large all the pieces are very much stand alone – which in a way …

Plants vs. Zombies for iPhone

Plants vs. Zombies on the iPhone is as familiar as the computer version, almost all the major elements are there with the exception of the Zen Garden, and that the mini games are now rolled into the main adventure. Other than that and some minor visual tweak to fit on the iPhone screen, it’s essentially the exact same addictive game. And for some reasons, touch-control is more intuitive than mouse-control, it actually enhanced the gameplay! I remember moving and clicking my mouse around to collect sunlight on …

Percy Jackson Lightning Thief movie

Just like any other literature turns movie, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief simplified the plot and leave out many details.  The white elephant is always in the room when it comes to children fantasy series that becomes a movie – the comparison to the gold standard of Harry Potter!  It’s never fair because nothing in the field can compare to Harry Potter, even when they are in their book form, nothing can compare to the popularity of Harry Potter!  The only comparison I will make here is …

3 Dreams

Last night I had 3 dreams in a row and the surprising thing is I actually remembered them all.  I am usually good with remembering the dreams, but when it’s more than one it’s not easy.  Therefore I am very surprised that I can write down all of these:
Elevator Flow:
8 of us are in an elevator, we carried a device that could change the world with us. Upon reaching the higher floors, the elevator stopped going any higher due to a power surge. When some of us exit …

iPhone Comic Apps

Despite being such a geeky person, I am still very much on the outside of the comic book world. The comics that I buy and read regularly is only the two TV tie-in – Buffy and Angel. Yet I am fascinated by the digital comic scenes. The idea that you can just get whatever comics you like delivered to your devices is amazing. I know that’s the same as the ebook market and I have a different opinion to ebooks and regular books. I still …

Thoughts on iPad

Whenever Apple comes out with a new product, the first thing people talked about is what the product can not do, what it’s missing.  And because of all these things that other competing products can do and Apple’s cannot, a verdict is issued that Apple’s product will fail miserably even before the product itself is available in store.  We saw that in iMac, where people decried “there’s no floppy drive! It only comes with USB port but not the other legacy ports!”  We saw that with iPod, “oh no! there’s …
