Do you remember my previous post on Monday, December 21, 2009 about me wanting to watch Avatar here? Well, I finally did it on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 with Samantha.
It was, in fact, a spontaneous decision to do so. I only had one 2 hour long DCNK lab on that day, which was supposed to be from 11am to 1pm. However, the lesson ended at 12pm, which left me with a lot free time on that day. My friends were all discussing which movie they wanted to watch. It seems that they were rather interested in Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. No offenses but while they were attracted by cuteness of Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, cute just doesn't does it for me enough to spend money and watch a movie. After all most of the movie critics are crap and I believe that there must have a reason to do so.
I had contacted most of the my friends but it's either they were not interested in watching the movie or they had already watched it. My, they are sure fast. After all I only ask them after 3 days of opening. Besides that, as mentioned in my previous post here, I was pondering I should watch it in 3D or not.
Luckily for me, I remembered that I had recently reconnected with a friend and she was interested to have some shopping trip or something similar together. I decided to ask her if she's interested to watch the Avatar movie together though I know that it's a super last minute arrangement and she might not be free.
Luckily, she was and with her help on booking the tickets, we managed to grab a decent seat in Vivo City Golden Village at 4.50pm. She was late for a little while but luckily while waiting for her, I had fun window shopping in Forever 21 and Fox.
When we got the tickets, Samantha decided that she needs a bottle of water so we were complementing if we have enough time left to do so. At first, we thought that the Vivo Mart was the other side of Vivo City. Luckily for us, it was only downstairs so we make it back in time.
Although the seat was not really close to the screen, to me however, it was an awkward position for me as it forces my head to be tilted in a weird position in order to see the whole screen clearly. I got dizzy half way through the movie and started to feel nauseous. Luckily I didn't watch it in 3D or I will surely puke for sure. I gradually got used to the weird feeling and lasted through the whole movie without puking. Thank goodness. I didn't want to make a scene. I have to say though, though the fighting scene isn't as much as Transformers and such movies, the volume was deafening. Other than feeling nauseous and the deafening sound, it was rather pleasant overall. The movie is indeed a 4/5stars.
When the movie ended, we got out of the theater, we were shocked to see that it's already 7.40pm. The movie end later than we thought. We then took the public transport home.
Thanks Samantha for agreeing to watch the movie with me. =D It was fun~ Let's do it next time! (^0^)
A review on the Avatar movie will be up soon~

Best Maximum Ride Fanmade Trailer I had ever seen.
Blogger is STILL wacky. I don't know what to do with it, conidering I have to type all the codes myself. ARGH. *Sigh* Enough of that.
As you guys out there know, I had openly declared being a fan of the Maximum Ride series. If you don't know what that is, clearly, you haven't been sticking around. Never mind. Here's my blog post on Maximum Ride which I had published last time. Have fun reading it and take you time to watch the short videos which I had embedded into the blog post.
So, I was on YouTube, as usual, looking through the videos and I found this. A Maximum Ride Fanmade Trailer made by a Maximum Ride fan named lilmisssicecream from YouTube. It was utterly cool, fantastically made and so real and totally believable. Sure, I had already embedded another Fanmade Maximum Ride Trailer in previous blog post but although this one is longer by around a minute, it also have better gauge of climax and everything.
Enjoy watching it folks, especially if you are a Maximum Ride Fan, I think that you would have enjoyed it and understand what's going on. ~\(=^0^=)/~

I am hooked on Maximum Ride!
I am currently hooked on another series of book!
Yes, it's still science fiction.
Introducing...Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment!
The Angel Experiment is the first book of the series and it's quite cool. It's fast paced so far but plot is well unfolding along the way. It's not as direct and more like a puzzle where little bits are given throughout the whole book. Even though the ending isn't a ending, it indicates clearly enough that there will be sequels to follow the story. I had just finished The Angel Experiment today and will start on the second book, Maximum Ride: School's Out Forever perhaps later tonight.
Below is the summary of the story written by me.
Like UGLIES, the moment I had finished this book, I had the same thought that it would make a great movie. A little search via Google indicates that my gut feeling is right again.
The details below are taken from Wikipedia.

Below is the summary of the story written by me.
What would you do if you are 98% human and 2% bird?
Enter The Flock.
Meet 14 years old Maximum Ride, a.k.a Max, 14 years old Fang and Iggy, 11 years old Nudge, 8 years old Gasman, a.k.a Gazzy and 6 years old Angel.
On the exterior, they look like any other human you can find on the street. That is, when their wings are hidden away.
2% of avian DNA makes all the difference. Besides the wings that actually allows them to fly, they are stronger than a typical adult male, and also equipped with different body structure such as light bird bones and air sacs in stomach for better breathing at high altitude.
Sounds good doesn't it?
Here's the downside.
Having spent almost the whole of their childhood living in cages in the science lab called "The School", where they are treated as "it", they have no will, no freedom and are constantly forced to take tests.
Until Jeb Batchelder, a scientist from "The School", freed them and took care of them.
One day, when Jeb disappears, The Flock assumes that he is dead.
As their old enemies returns, The Flock is on the run.
Who can they trust? Why is the Voice in Max's head telling her to save the world?
Check out the first book, Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment, in this best selling series by James Patterson.
Like UGLIES, the moment I had finished this book, I had the same thought that it would make a great movie. A little search via Google indicates that my gut feeling is right again.
The details below are taken from Wikipedia.
In January 2007, it was announced that a film would be created based on the Maximum Ride series. James Patterson will be the executive producer. Avi Arad, one of the producers of Spider-Man, X-Men and other Marvel movies, will also produce alongside Steven Paul. In an interview with James Patterson, it was revealed that Arad has already planned out the first two movies. On August 7, 2008, it was announced that Columbia Pictures bought the screen rights to the franchise. Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight) will direct the first movie, with Don Payne writing the script. The movie is scheduled for a 2010 release. It was posted on the author's site under Max's Blog that Kristen Stewart (Female lead in Twilight) is likely to audition for Maximum, the role that she is most alike, since director Catherine Hardwicke stated in an interview that she would be soliciting Stewart to audition for a role.

Post Doraemon: Nobita's New Great Adventure into the Underworld - The Seven Magic Users on aired at Channel 8
The Doraemon 2007 movie, Doraemon: Nobita's New Great Adventure into the Underworld - The Seven Magic Users was aired on Channel 8, 27 January 2009, Tuesday.
Although I do own the the DVD, I made it a point to climb out of my bed at 9.20am and watched the movie at 10am sharp.
After watching it, I certainly had some things to say about. No, not of the movie itself but rather, the missing of some scenes in the movie.
It's quite obvious that somebody had cut away some scenes as they might deemed it no help to continual to the storyline.
I certainly do not think so. Every scene in the movie counts and those missing scenes are actually some funny parts or parts that will lead us to know more about Doraemon.
Yes, I am pissed. Somehow they have to cut away scenes. In other shows I had watched, that happens as well.
Let me list down the scenes and changes I had noticed to the movie you had seen on the television.
1) When Doraemon had that stomachache and went back to the 22th Century, there's actually a scene which Doraemi wanted to drag Doraemon to a capsule that will give Doraemon a thorough body checkup. Doraemon's stomachache had stopped by then, refused to obey and ran back to Nobita's house. From this incident, we can actually learned that Doraemon is afraid of taking a health checkup besides his well known fear of mice.
2) After the proposing the idea of having a magical world to replace reality, Nobita and Doraemon tried to used magic but to no avail. This is a funny scene as both were shouting random curses and were going all for it.
3) On the way to the hill behind Nobita's school to check out the black meteorite, Shizuka marveled at Doraemon's use of magic that enable him to fly. She was actually referring the Take-copter. Doraemon said that the use of Take-copter was not due to his magic but science and technology. Shizuka then laughed at Doraemon for believing in science and technology as they were both superstitions. This was one of the effect of changing the reality world into the magical world.
4) The floating magic chant that was commonly used throughout the movie, differ in Japanese and Chinese. In Japanese version, it was "Jin Ka La Hoi!" but in Chinese version, it was changed to "Chan Ku La Ho!".
That's about the changes and missing scenes I had noted. Perhaps I had missed out some but..oh well, if you wished to watch the entire movie without any missing scenes or advertisements, getting the DVD is the way to go!

Doraemon: Nobita's New Great Adventure into the Underworld - The Seven Magic Users on aired at Channel 8
Doraemon: Nobita's New Great Adventure into the Underworld - The Seven Magic Users which was the movie that was released in year 2007 in Japan, is scheduled to be aired on local TV channel, Channel 8 on Tuesday, 27 January 2009, at 10am. You can watch the trailers(there are two version of it) here and here to get an idea what the movie is about. However, there are no subtitles in the trailer. The poster for the Doraemon: Nobita's New Great Adventure into the Underworld - The Seven Magic Users is as below.
What's Doraemon: Nobita's New Great Adventure into the Underworld - The Seven Magic Users about?
It's an adventure to a magical world! A mission to save the Earth led by the seven warriors! What's Nobita up to this time? "If I am able to use magic, I suppose that everything I do will go smoothly." One day, Nobita and Doraemon with the help of Moshimo-box, wishes for the world to become a place where the use of magic is possible. Witchcraft replaces science and technology and everyone makes use of it on their daily lives, except for Nobita, who, like usual, isn't very good at conjuring spells. One day, Doraemon and his friends meet Professor Mangetsu, who studies magic and magical beings, and his daughter Miyoko, and are warned of the dangerous approximation of the "Star of the Underworld" to the Earth's orbit. If this goes on, Earth will be destroyed by the "Star of the Underworld". They yearn to return to their original, peaceful world. However, as the "Star of the Underworld" approaches, frequent earthquakes and other abnormal phenomenon continues to occur throughout Earth. The legendary seven warriors has finally appear! How will Doraemon and Nobita protect our Earth in the midst of the approaching crisis?
*Note*
The summary above is based on a loose translation by me on the summary below and also with the help of Wikipedia. The summary was found on the back of my Doraemon: Nobita's New Great Adventure into the Underworld - The Seven Magic Users DVD box.
Doraemon: Nobita's New Great Adventure into the Underworld - The Seven Magic Users is a remake of the year 1984 Doraemon movie, Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld. The trailer for this year 1984 edition can be found here. There are no subtitles in this trailer as well. The poster for the movie Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld is as below.
By comparing the movie posters and the trailers. I am sure that you would have noticed the differences by now. The year 2007 edition features better graphic and sound. The colour for the year 2007 edition is also more vibrant. Which one do you prefer more? =D
Although Doraemon: Nobita's New Great Adventure into the Underworld - The Seven Magic Users is said to be a remake of the Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld, the storyline for the year 2007 edition is slightly tweaked and some addition of new characters so that when we are watching it, we will be familiar with the characters but we wouldn't know exactly what will happen next. That is indeed a refreshing change and one wouldn't be bored from watching the remake even though he/she had watched the year 1984 edition before.
I owned both movies and if you ask me which one I prefer more, I shall say the year 2007 edition is the one that I love. The storyline is tweaked so that it's more touching and of course, not to forget the lovely graphics and audio quality! ^0^
Remember to watch it on that day!
