Over Underdog!

I really can't seem to put my finger into this movie! I'm sorry, DIsney, but this one just isn't worth the wait.

To put things into perspective, Underdog is only a remake of the sixties radio series. I don't know with you guys, but if a character ain't popular and didn't survive the test of time, then probably it is a bad idea. Oh! But to make it into a movie? Now that's worse!

Well, it's for kids. That's your excuse. Excuse me too as I go to the next cinema house!

Brave Enough To Be The Brave One?

Yes! Jodie Foster has a new film! I've always been a fan of her since Taxi Driver, and I've always expected her to be choosy with her projects.

She and her boyfriend were attacked by street thugs. Unfortunately, her boyfriend dies. She avenges him by little acts, being in the streets, killing off thugs one by one. Is she right? Is she wrong?

Are you brave enough to watch this movie? It poses a serious question as to what would you do i it ever happened to you?

A strong performance! Watch it!

No Reservations Out!

Ok. Catherine Zeta Jones with an american accent is just better than with a British accent. Well, this is a drama about a chef who has no life. Then she inherits her sister's daughter, who has nowhere else to go. She, the chef, further realizes that her lie is really down the drain.

Then a love interest comes along in the form of another cook. You know the rest of the story. We've seen this before. But with the hit of the other cooking movie, Ratatouille, we know that people are still gonna bite for this one.

From the director of the movie, Shine, which was a little bit better.

It's out on your favorite cinema now, that is, if you're in love or what-not!

Chuck and Larry Going Out!

Yeah, I'm talking about the new movie featuring Adam Sandler. What I love about this actor is that all he does is comedies. But each one has an extra twist to it. I became an instant fan when I saw his Wedding Singer, co-starring with Drew Barrymore. I was even more addicted to him when I saw 50 First Dates, featuring love in recurring fashion.

Now it's a weirder version of love as straight best friends "marry" each other to protect each others' interests. Now the government is checking out their "gay" marriage as a sexy government agent, Jessica Biel, probes into their "lovelife" further!

This movie is a riot!

Oh and directed again by that Dugan guy! He's funny.

Watch it! Enjoy it! Don't say we didn't warn you!

Shoot 'Em Up! In Theaters Now!

Two words for you to watch this flick: Monica Bellucci! Now that's a goddess! Remember her from the Matrix Trilogy? The girl in white spandex? She was so hot! Imagine...

No, sorry. My mind drifted away. Well, this is an interesting action flick, combining action with smooth one-liners and lots of funny moments. I'm also a fan Paul Giammati's works. My personal favorite is him in that wine movie, Sideways. It won an academy for Best Screenplay. So you better watch out for this guy!

Just seeing Monica in her sexy mode again just makes me feel...

Watch Shoot 'Em Up! I bet it's good! Also with that dramatic British guy who's now in an action movie. Forgot his name though. Oops. Cut! Cut!

Disturbed by Disturbia!

Yes, it's a remake of the classic Rear Window by... you guessed it, Alfred Hitchcock! Although the remake is more guided by the modern setting and culture per se, it still gives you the creeps to think of your neighbor as a serial killer!

The story starts with Shia LeBeouf being sentenced to home detention for three months for attacking a teacher. Upon the start, he goes bored and starts spying on his neighbors and what they do. He notices his mysterious neighbor doing odd things in the night, thus suspecting him as a serial killer.

Is our hero right, or is he just going nuts? Find out! Watch it! Creepy! Scary! It's a total romance flick for the faint of heart!

Prepare For Invasion

Ok. If you're really gullible then you better run to the grocery and grab your needs for a fall-out shelter. No, this is the new Nicole Kidman thriller, co-starring Daniel Craig. I like sci-fi thrillers, and this is a perfect example of paranoia coming to life!

The story starts with a space rocket falling into our orbit crashing. It spreads an unknown virus that attacks the individual during rem sleep. Trouble starts when the virus starts eradicating free will. That's when starrer Nicole Kidman gets involved. She notices her psycho patients getting fewer and fewer, evidently leaving only one, who is supposedly immune to the virus and is being targeted for death by the hostile invaders. She even gets more involved when her son is also discovered to be immune to the virus, thus also targeted for death. Worse, she is also infected. If she falls asleep, all is doomed! She will kill her own son!

How's that for a thriller!

Watch it! Prepare to be invaded! Bring popcorn!

Thor's Back!

Seriously, I kid you not, mere mortal! Thy Marvel's Thor is back, merrily!

So he's supposedly back from the realm of the dead, right? And now, with the events of World War Hulk unfolding right before your eyes, he's going to Tony Stark, Iron Man and Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., to get answers from him! His first and biggest question: why thoust clone me!

And believe me, you don't wanna get in his hate list. Dudes, this is the God of Thunder or not!

Real god or not, he's packing full power, courtesy of Mjolnir, his hammer. And things are just starting!

Pick up issue no. 1 of Thor! If you still can!

Rush Hour Three A Bone Tickler!

If you're a Jackie Chan fan, this one's for you. He's on his usual bloopers and jokes, but this time he does this in France! Yes, France! How's that for a change.

And he's got Chris Tucker again. For the third time.

I got a question: besides the Rush Hour movies, where else does Chris Tucker star in? Help me with that one, fellas! I really need your help! Do you understand the words that are comin' outta my mouth? (Pun intended.)

Well, one of my favorite directors is directing it. Two thumbs up!

Bourne To Be A Blockbuster!

The Bourne Ultimatum starring Matt Damon is turning out to be the best and the biggest in the Bourne Trilogy. Here we see Jason Bourne learning the source of all his woes. Then he hunts the people responsible for his dilemma and the demise of her lady love.

If you haven't seen this flick, you oughta run to the nearest cinema and catch while you can! Cause I'm damn serious that you're gonna enjoy it!

Run! Now!

Planet Terror, A Modern Cool B-Movie!

Yeah, that's right! Even Robert Rodriguez, the director admits that this is a tribute to the b-movies of the '70s. So enjoy! Don't expect deep stories in the stories. It's mindless violence all throughout the film!

Stars include Bruce WIllis and Rose McGowan! Rose is so hot that she sizzles even if her leg was replaced with a machine gun! No science included! Don't start analyzing the movie. Just grab some popcorn and enjoy!

Ratatouille, Number One!

If tired of the usual blockbusters lined up this summer, then don't don't fret! Ratatouille's here!

It's about a rat who wants to be a chef, and a chef who wants to be... a rat? No, for heaven's sake! He wants to team up with the rat who could cook to become the greatest chef in all of France. Isn't that refreshing?

Well, I for one don't want my food cooked by a rat! Bu who cares? It's a new animation from the creators of the Incredibles! Now, we'll be expecting the same quality from these guys!

It's number now in the States! I bet it's good! Really good!

Harry Potter's Last Book: July 21

Speculations are rising high as the public gets even more excited at the release of the last harry Potter book in stores July 21. What do you think happens with Harry versus virtually everyone evil. Don't forget, it's army versus army. So place your bets now!

Almost all of Harry's most powerful allies are gone! So who's gonna protect him this time? You guess. Me, I'll just be reading my copy this July 21. I'll be lining at exactly 12 midnight to get my copy. I'm sure to finish my copy in two hours. So look for me on July 21 to give you the juiciest details!

Reserve your copy now!

Die Hard 4.0 Smashing!

Dude, I love the Die Hard series! Ever since Bruce started doing the action genre after his stint as a stint in the idiot tube's Moonlighting, I knew the guy has potential. And now he's still big! And huge!

This is a typical action flick: great action, great stunts, a damsel in distress, a stupid sidekick, and lots of eye-popping explosions! Now how's that for fun? Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. It's a mindless action movie, so bring lots of popcorn! Yum yum yum!

Harry Potter A Sure Blockbuster!

Are you ready for the fifth installment of Harry Potter? Although I'm not a big fan of the books, I'm really looking forward in seeing this movie because of the I-Max format! Have you ever tried seeing a movie in I-Max? It's just totally awesome! Everything is in 3d!

Ralph Fiennes as the villain is a brilliant move for the producers. Ralph, who has played a villain also in the movie Red Dragon, is showing his skills as a brilliant evil wizard this time.

Harry Potter is showing now at your favorite theaters!

Transformers The Movie! Are You Ready To Roll?

Everyone's anticipating Transformers! It's got fans ranging from five to sixty-five years old! The Transformers is actually a franchise of Hasbro Incorporated, which manufactured the toys in the first place. It was made into a comic book and then into a cartoon series, and onto a cartoon movie. It was a smash!

Now everyone's excited again bacause it's got a huge fan following, from the older generation fans of the old cartoons, to the new collectors of the recent toy series. It's still hot!

Add Michael Bay, the director of such films like The Island and Bad Boys II. Add Steven Spielberg as producer! Add a new toy line! Add spectacular effects! Add popcorn! What do you get? One hell of a movie!

Better have your seats reserved! You might regret not seeing it first!

All you Autobots and Decepticon lovers out there! Transform!

No Vacancy! Soon In Theaters!

I for one am excited about the movie No Vacancy. You know why? Why, it stars Kate Beckinsale. Kate alone in a movie can secd me to Kingdom Come for all I care.

It's a suspense flick. And I'm sure it's gonna scasre the hell out of me. I like scary movies.

If this movie can literally make me stand in fright, then I'm in for the ride!

My posse says it's cool. They dig it! I dig it! Reserve your tickets. There might be No Vacancy!

Pun intended!

Next: A Smash Movie!

I like Next, first of all, because of the director, Lee Tamahori. He's very good in action scenes. I know he hasn't made his hallmark film yet, but he's getting there.

Second, is because of its star power. Nicholas Cage, Jessica Biel, and Julianne Moore are powerhouses. It's not a guarantee that the movie's gonna be good, but it could be.

Third, is because of Philip K. Dick. No, he's not a supporting actor. He's the writer of the Golden Man. It's the basis of this new movie. And I definitely loved the novel. And then I saw it. The movie was marvelous. It's a blast.

You better see it Next! You won't be sorry.

Are you ready for Hostel 2?

Yes the first installment a few yeas ago was incredibly gruesome! I wasn't able to eat pizza for a day. The story starts with a group of student tourists out in Europe. They go into some eerie city lured by promises of forbidden sex. And what do they get? Hell. And then some. THey're abducted. And worse, they're killed off. One by one.

That's for part one alone.

Can you take this second installment and live to see the living daylights? I dare you watch it. And believe.

I will not go to Europe for a vacation anymore!

New Mr. Bean Movie in 10 Years!

Yes! If you miss the lovable but totally weird Mr. Bean, then you're in for a treat!

Yes he's back. Still funny as ever. Rowan Atkinson is here to make you stupider, and happier at the same time. The story starts with Mr. Bean wanting to have a perfect vacation. At any cost.

This is where the fun starts. You know his knack for accidentally getting into trouble. Oh yes he gets into trouble at every turn. Believe me!

And the funnier part of this is, he gets to have his misadventures presented at the Cannes Film Festival! Don't worry guys. This only happens in the movie. But make no mistake, how he gets to be in Cannes is a real rib-tickler.

So grab some popcorn and buy your tickets! If you have problems, you'll forget them. This endorsement does not apply to money problems. Watch it!

Zodiac Now In Theaters!

The Zodiac stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo based on the true story of the Zodiac serial killer from the 60's to the 70's. Based on the book by Robert Graysmith, it is director David Fincher's first venture into true crime, in contrast to his other films such as Se7en and the Fight Club.

God it was boring!

I'm a big fan of David Fincher, especially with his cult movies like The Game and Fight Club. But ever since he did The Panic Room, he became kind of different. A bit odd, though I'm still a big fan of Jodie Foster as well. The movie shows our three heroes involved in directly and indirectly pinpointing the real serial killer of such gruesome crimes. The killer, however, gets away at every turn, so it keeps the viewer guessing at every turn. The movie is 3 hours long, and very slow. I think it would have been better if it was edited to only 2 hours. Too slow, even for me.

If you're a big fan of David Fincher, this is for you. But if not, try to act a little less disappointed when you get up from your sleep, I mean your seat.

Fantastic Four 2 Out by June 13!

Ok! But don't forget to check your local movie houses for the correct time and day!

The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is gonna be hot! It features the prologue to the much-awaited movie event, the coming of Galactus! We're just not sure if they're gonna adopt the classic Galactus done by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby or the Ultimate one. Stan Lee's world devourer version is a giant who siphons off energy from planets, leaving them dry and dead. The modern Ultimate Galactus is actually a consciousness in the form of a space armada, kinda like the swarm that you saw over at the Matrix Trilogy. Me, I go for the classic version, 'cause it's much cooler!

SIlver Surfer's gonna be a blast! The wedding is gonna be called off for the meantime. But for how long? Watch the movie. I don't wanna give away the ending. Not just yet!

Pirates of The Caribean Out May 24!

Yes! For everyone who's excited about the trilogy made famous by Johnny Depp's character, Captain Jack Sparrow, don't fret anymore. It's here!

Actually I'm more excited by the addition of Chow Yun Fat, my favorite actor even during his Hong Kong days. So Jack's alive, what else is new? Well, they're promising that this may not be the end of the franchise. Yes, there's a big possibility that there may be a part four on the works. Keep your hopes high, 'cause the cast is also eager to make another installment. So it's not a trilogy anymore. Big deal! I still want it!

Chills! Suspense! Kiera Knightley! For you, girls, there's Orlando Bloom! What more could you ask for?

Shrek The Third Out!

Yeah you heard it right! Shrek The Third's out and maybe you're wondering now if you're gonna watch it or not. My friend who hasn't seen the first two installments found it funny but found the story a bit confusing. My suggestion is to watch the first two movies, you moron.

The story is always, a bit obscure. But, I mean really but, it's actually funny. Although some of you may find some parts of it slow and boring, it can still brighten your day a little bit. Just don't expect a deep story. If you want something like that, watch American Idol.

And yes, Shrek's a father. Of three!

28 Weeks Later Really Scary!




Oh, have you seen the first one,28 Days Later? That was awesome! How about the sequel that's out in theaters, 28 Weeks Later? This one is totally scary. I mean it. I was jumping out of my seat. Literally.

The story begins with survivors being cordoned off to a quarantined area managed by the military. But it turns out a survivor, immune to the virus, is brought into the quarantined area. You can simply guess that everything goes awry when this person is brought in. And suddenly almost everyone is infected! Zombies galore!

How's that for a nervous breakdown? And wait if they find a cure! This movie's so bizarre it's gonna rock your world!

Don't eat anything before the movie. You're sure to puke it out! Take this warning seriously...

Monday, May 07, 2007

Who's the New Hulk?

Better believe it. There's gonna be a sequel to the movie, The Hulk! And Eric Bana's not gonna be there.

For real!

So who's gonna be the new Bruce Banner? Hey! Welcome aboard Edward Norton as the psychotic Hulk! If you don't know him, try seeing the movies Fight Club, Primal Fear and American History X! If you think he's not cool, I'm pretty sure you suck! 'Cause Edward Norton rocks!

New Justice League Team! Are You Happy?

If you've read issue no. 7 of the Justice League of America, you might be a tad surprised. The story arc begins with Superman, Batman and Wonderwoman selecting members. And at the end of the story arc, they just choose who's around them when an incident occured. Among the new members are:

Superman!

Batman!

Wonder Woman! ( Why am I not surprised?)

Black Canary!

Vixen! (She's cool. You can keep her.)

Red Tornado!

Black Lightning!

Green Lantern!

Hawkgirl!

And Arsenal! Huh? Who's that? Make him cool all you want, but Green Arrow is still cooler. Who decided to substitute Green Arrow with the former Speedy? Hope you kill him quick!

Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man!

Ypu heard it right here. Robert is the new Iron Man in the movie coming out this 2008! Also in the movie are award-nominated Terence Howard and Jeff Bridges, wrapped up with award-winner Gwyneth Paltrow! How's that for an all star cast? Superb!

They previewed the movie version of the armor already in marvel.com if you want to see it first. But rumors abound that it's not the final version, but a beta version for teaser purposes only. So if you think it's ugly, it's ok 'cause I totally agree with you. But it's not final, so you better pray they come up with a better one.

Keep it posted here for further details!

World War Hulk!

After the events of the epic Civil War, Marvel is proud to present the new heart-pounding story arc of Bruce Banner. Yes, he's back. He was absent throughout the Civil War because Reed Richards and company exiled him to another planet, inhabited by gladiator citizens as strong as the Hulk!

After a lot of hardships, Hulk becomes the emperor of this world, and even chooses a mate. But he loses everything again!

And now he's really mad! Mad as in Mad Mad!

What do you do when you lose everything? Vengeance comes to mind. And it's Hulk versus the whole Marvel universe. So you know it's gonna be really good!

Wednesday, April 04, 2007

Sharon Carter Kills Captain America!

Yes, Cap is dead. Shot to death by Sharon Carter, a former fling.

Read Captain America no. 25 and weep over Cap's demise. He represented the hero in all of us. But I'm pretty sure he'll be back soon, if not someday. Just like Thor! He hasn't been back yet! Hu hu hu!

First printing of this epic story is already sold out. A second printing's good enough. But if you're a collector get ready to dish out 15 dollars for the first printing. Not to mention the variant cover. Ouch!

So bow down your heads and pray Cap returns soon.

Pirates of the Carribean 3 Coming This May!

That's right. So go right ahead and watch your two previous dvd copies of this franchise and enjoy! If you're a fan of Chow Yun Fat like I am, then surprise! He's also in the movie! As a pirate too of course! And he appears bald.

The same gang is there: Johnny Depp with Geoffrey Rush, Kiera Knightley and Orlando Bloom, the only one not nominated by the Academy so far. But we all have to agree that he's great! Good thing he doesn't play an elf anymore!

So see you in the cinemas!

Ocean's 13: No More, Please!

If you liked Ocean's Eleven and Twelve, you are either a dork without a social life or just a plain moron. Are you out of your mind? They're fooling you! If you just like plain star power with actors such as George Clooney, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt then watch this. But if you're after a movie with a solid plot, then please spare yourself the suffering and watch another. These movies suck. Now they have the third installment. The producers are demented!
Ok, if you really like this movie, I challenge you to defend it. What's so good about it? Send me your comments. And if you're able to convince me, then you'll have my condolences. My god. If you like this sucky movie, then you suck, too.
The third movie promises to be a gem! Yeah, right!

Dark Knight Movie in the Works!

Yes, this will be the sequel to the smash movie Batman Begins. Christian Bale returns as the Batman. But wait! Who's the villain. Oh, it's Heath Ledger, star of Brokeback Mountain. And no, he won't be playing a homo cowboy again. This time he becomes the Joker! Get a laugh!

Heath Ledger as the villain Joker will be awesome. He's a capable actor, even academy-nominated! So if you think Bale can act, then watch out for Heath! He rocks! As in the movie, A Knight's Tale!

No pun intended!

Villain in Spider-Man 3 is Venom!

Oh right. You've seen the trailer and you think it's Sandman or the new Goblin that's the lead villain. You're dead wrong. It's Venom!
If you don't know Venom, you're in for a deep shock. Venom is an alien symbiote that first bonded to Peter Parker, granting him the black costume with additional powers. You'll see this in the movie. The question is if they'll use the same story with the movie. All we know is that Topher Grace will be playing Eddie Brock, who ultimately gets bonded with the black costume, turning him into Venom.
Excited? Well, then get ready. It's only a few weeks away...

Ultimate Iron Man Figure Sold Out!

Hasbro, the new makers of the Marvel Legends action figures, have just released Emma Frost, Planet Hulk, X3 Beast, Hercules, Banshee, and Ultimate Iron Man. Everyone predicted that the most in demand figure would have been Hercules, for he played a big part in Civil War. But lo and behold, Ultimate Iron Man figures are sold out.
Each figure fetches a solid $20 easy. But don't be pressured. If you buy the complete set of 6 , you'll still get your fair share. So buy now. Happy hunting.

Justice League with Brad Meltzer

Yes. The Justice League of America has just been relaunched and writer extra-ordinaire Brad is at the helm. Don't know who he is? He's the fantastic writer of the Tenth Justice and Dead Even. He writes law thrillers. And him handling the Justice League is gonna be fun.

The story starts as Red Tornado is raised from the dead. But he was resurrected in a clone human body. What? But he's a robot. How could that be? Well, someone steals his android body and clones it as well. Enter Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Now that Red Tornado's human, he can be hurt and even be killed. Permanently. And that's just for starters.
You'll love this story arc.

Remembering Robert Altman

You don't know him? Well, he's the critically acclaimed director who died last year. His last movie was The Prairie Home Companion, starring the mean chick from Herbie movie. (You have to know her. She's hot!)
If you wanna know this director, watch my favorite of his movies, Gosford Park. This stars Ryan Philippe and a bunch of other heavy hitters. Allis well in this mansion full of guests and servants. And then suddenly the owner of the mansion dies! Is it the wife? Is it the son? Is it the butler? The valet? It's the best whodunnit movie in ages. And it's not a suspense thriller. It's a different drama. Just don't watch the ending before everything else. It's a twister!
To one of my most respected directors, you've given us joys and laughs, and everything in between.

The Mighty Avengers!

After the effects of Civil War. The Avengers are split in two!
There's the rebel group consisting of Wolverine, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Dr. Strange and the new Ronin. Wondering where Captain Ameirca is? Read Civil War No. 7 to be shocked.
Don'tforget to get issues 27-30. It would feature the schism in the Avengers leading to the issue of Mighty Avengers No. 1! This team includes Wasp, Iron Man, Wonder Man, and others, to be led by Carol Danvers. Shock shock shock! Ouch!

Macau's Taipa Island

If you want a taste of Portugal or Europe in Asia, look no futher. Macau's Taipa Island is here!
All areas feature remnants of Portuguese influence: ruins galore! Not only that. Their old Taipa village is still existing. You can walk around feeling you're being transported in the past.
Also, try the local cuisine. Even the beer. Everything has a tinge of Europe. Even their architecture. Don't forget to pass by the little temples and museums. Lots of museums!
Although you might have a little difficulty. Most people there don't speak English. So remember to bring a guidebook. But this island is quiet. It's a haven for city dwellers.

Tuesday, February 27, 2007

Civil War No.7 Out Now

Yes, the concluding issue to the much-awaited last chapter to the Civil War is here! You'll see Cap vesus Iron Man, Cap versus and the Thunderbolts, and all the Avengers young and old!

But sad to say, I am a bit disappointed to the ending. It had a weak impact to me personally. But the post effects of this event will be evident in the Marvel Universe for years to come!

What will happen to Captain America? Will Tony Stark still become the Director of SHIELD? Will Spider-Man survive? All this plus Hercules versus Thor! Yes , Thor! Is it the clone or the real deal? Find out here!

Thursday, February 22, 2007

The New Fantastic Four!

Yes, you heard it right. After the events of Civil War, Sue and Reed Richards patch things up. But they go on vacation. Who replaces them?

Meet the newly weds Storm of the X-Men and Black Panther of the kingdom of Wakanda to join The Thing and the Human Torch!

Shocked? Yeah I know. Storm's not an X-MAN anymore!

The Fantastic Four rocks!

Tuesday, February 13, 2007

Have You Seen Hannibal Rising?

The movie, that's what I'm talking about. THis is Hannibal Lecter unravelling as a monster. This is how he becomes one. This one would appeal for the horror fans due to its blood and gore. A fan of the Final Destination movies? This one's for you.

For the intellectuals, you're gonna love it. It shows how you can twist a child's psyche by showing him horror beyond comprehension: cannibalism. You heard it right. The movie further shows the teenager Hannibal cope up with hatred and vengeance. You should how he loves cheeks. He eats them!
Gore galore! Have fun! Watch it!

Ghost Rider: The Perfect Valentine Date Movie

So now that we have your attention, are you a fan? Yep that's right. 'Cause if you're not a fan, you might have a little bit of trouble with the characters. Just pay attention with their names, like Vengeance, Undertaker and the villain. I'm not supposed to tell you that yet!

yet in most theaters it comes out on Valentine's Day, so it makes up for all the mush that you're gonna experience the whole day of romance. So this is your chance not to get sucky this Day of Hearts!

It stars Academy Award Winner Nicolas Cage and the yummy Eva Mendes. Watch it. You're gonna enjoy Eva... I mean the movie.

Stephen King's The Dark Tower Now a Comic Book

I know we've all read and cheered with Stephen King's Opus The Dark Tower series. All seven books are instant classics. There was a time when I really got scared that my favorite won't be able to finish this series in his lifetime. I'm so so glad he did.
And to top it all off, here comes the faithful adaptation to the adventures of the Gunslinger! Issue one is to be released on February 7. So reserve your copies now! It's sure to wow all Marvel Comics fans and newbies. So if I were you, grab one when it comes out. You won't be sorry.
For more information, visit www.marvel.com for more details.

I Crave for Crave: Calvin Klein's Classic Perfume

If you have ever taken a whiff of Calvin Klein's Crave Perfume, you know what I'm talking about. The scent takes you to memories of vacation, adventure, and fortune. There's a hint of citrus, plus ingredients that make it sporty. It's a man's ideal scent when he's on a holiday, and so should you.
Sad to say, its release was a one-time event. Now it's out of stock. So I'm asking everyone out there to write to www.calvinklein.com and tell them what we've all come to love inside our car's compartment. I'm holding onto my last few drops, and they smell awesome! If you find one, you're a very lucky dude. I congratulate you!

Thrill Ride: The Space Mountain Roller Coaster in HK Disney

Yes, it's one of those pesky roller coaster rides that we've all come to love, love and love. Everybody loves riding it. I bet you're also itching to ride this one.
What makes this terrifying unique? There are no loops. What's so special about that? Well, the thrill happens when you get into your seat. You realize that the whole ride happens in the dark. Did you hear it right? Yes. In. The. Dark.
That's why it's so scary! You know you're just going up and up. And when you think you begin your descent, wrong answer! You still go up. And when you think you're safe, that's when your world goes up, down, sideways, falling into the abyss of blackness!
Totally awesome. It's in Disneyland Hongkong. And don't forget to get your souvenir shot. (Yes, they take your picture in the dark. But the camera's got a flash, so no frets.) A shot is about fifteen Hongkong dollars. Cheap.

Pass by Repulse Bay!

If you're looking for a quiet beach in Hong Kong, have no fear. The beach is here!

After checking out the local renowned jewelry factories in the vicinity or already tired of spending on the fine craftsmanship of the Orient, go to Repulse Bay area in Hong Kong. And you thought you wouldn't find a beach in this area.

Take a dip. Relax. Bathe in the sun or in the warm waters. Note to readers: if winter hits, don't ask me if the water's cold. You get the idea.

Once there, you are surrounded by the slope of the mountainside. Acoomodation rates may vary, especially during the holidays! No need to worry: most of the folks there speak English. You can still hunt for great bargains. Grab your friends and go!

Take the Train Ride: The Peak Tram in HK!

If you love trains in general, there's no reason for you to miss this opportunity in Hong Kong. Go to the Peak Tram Terminus near Bank of China Tower and St. Jokn's Cathedral. You won't miss it. Every taxi driver there knows where it is.

Line up for a ticket, and up you go! The slope is a bit steep; some parts of it go about forty-five degrees. It's exciting to go up there. You see different views of the mountainside, with their condominiums and staircases of streets. The ride's a bit short but worth it. Once you get to the Peak, you see the breathtaking view of the whole of Hong Kong. It's especially beautiful at noghttime. Lights all around.

Atop the Peak you can choose between two malls on top of the mountain range. Dine, shop, and go to Madame Toussad's wax museum. It's fun, it's exciting. Enjoy your stay.

For more information, check out www.thepeak.com.hk. You'll love the view.

A warning: it gets a bit cold there during winter. Check out the weather first if it's rainy. If rainy or cloudy, don't go up. The fog ruins the view. Just a tip.

Read the Classics: Interview With The Vampire

You people should know better than to only know the movie version. I know the movie's also great because it established Brad Pitt as a sex symbol alongside Tom Cruise as the villain. And a very young Kirsten Dunst. I love this movie. But the book's better.
This is the first book by Anne Rice, released in the '70's. It's also the first vampire book not about Dracula. All other vampire books before this one are all imitations of Dracula, one way or anothe. But this one dared to be different. We are introduced to vampires who like looking at crosses. These vampires ae still prone to sunlight. But then we see that they have a culture, and a community. They are many. And they are among us. If you're into horror and seduction, this is for you.

The Damn Recommends: Hannibal Rising!

Ok. Some of you may not be familiar with the name. But borrow a dvd of the Silence of the Lambs and you will understand how the name Hannibal the Cannibal came about. The series spawned three books before this new one: Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs, and Hannibal. All three of these books have had movies. And they are really scary.
The book Hannibal Rising starts where the third book, Hannibal, left off. Ok, here's the tricky part. The ending of the book is different from the movie version. But don't worry. We'll only be concerned about the book ending. Clarice Starling, Hannibal's love, has been converted into a cannibal, eating brains now for dinne. Human brains I say to you. This is where you fans either hate or love this couple. Some of you may like them to stay together. Some of you may like them to kill each other off. This is where the story revolves. Clarice is a good person while Hannibal is a psychopath genius. Together they will rock you world!
No, really. Joking aside, the book starts as a prequel before the other book, Red Dragon. Here is a young Hannibal. His parents have just died. He's on the verge of a nervous breakdown. But don't forget that he's a genius. What happens when a genius is on the brink of a breakdown? You have to read it to believe it.
Buy the book now. It's a bestseller.

Welcome, Disney Hongkong

For people who love traveling and theme parks, this is for you! Blessed are the people of Hongkong for they now have their own Disneyland. That's right. It's there. It's right in the heart of Hongkong. To get there, just get into a subway station, or a bus that says Disney. This way saves you taxi money. A load of it.

Once you get there, you also get to choose how your ticket looks like. Yup! Choose among Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto and Goofy and other cool characters. Upon entering the park, don't forget to get your site map. It's very near the entrance area and it's absolutely free!

Once inside, you hit first the Main Streets USA area. You can run along and get autographs from Mickey Mouse, Sleeping Beauty and everyone else you run into! Take pictures. Have fun. Or you can wait for the Grand Parade (check the sked, kids), and you can join Woody, Ariel and other characters we've all come to love.
