Wangan Midnight - The Movie

For those of you who are not familiar with this title, you can always refer to the ever reliable definition at Wikipedia.



The official website of Kodansha Comics has announced on last Saturday that a theatrical film based on Michiharu Kusunoki's Wangan Midnight street-racing manga will open in Japan this summer. Like the previous television anime and video features, Wangan Midnight the Movie will center on a young man named Akio who salvages "Devil Z," a custom-tuned Datsun Fairlady S30Z car with a supposedly cursed history. He saw his dream car at a local junkyard and instantly bought it from the junkyard owner. And soon enough, he finds that the car is unnaturally fast due to a tuned L28 engine, bored and stroked to 3.1 L and fitted with twin turbos. He also finds that the one of the car's previous owners shares his first and last name, and had died in a horrible crash on the Wangan. Every person who takes possession of the Z ends up spinning out of control and crashing, as if the car is rebelling against its driver. This gives the blue Z the nickname "The Devil Z".

So all you engine buffs and speed demons out there, be sure to catch this movie. It will officially be release on 12 September 2009, but I am not too sure if the movie will ever reach our shores on the big screen. If it doesn't, then it's really a shame, but at least we can pay a visit to the nearest DVD peddler. ;)

Angels and Demons

I am sure most of you have been asked this question "Do you believe in spirits or ghosts?". Well, how do you answer it? Though many of us do not possess the "gift" of seeing beings from the underworld, but we still believe in their existence, no? Because of this not-seen-and-yet-believe scenario, we would normally jump onto any opportunities that will help us clear our suspicions and curiosities of the paranormal beings.


Angels?

The latest movie in town"Angels and Demons" which stars Tom Hanks is a very much anticipated movie by me cuz I really enjoyed the Da Vinci Code. It tells the story of how an underground society (which was driven underground by the Churches) called the Illuminaties plot a public revenge on the Christian community as a whole and Roman Catholics in particular. I was at the edge of my seat throughout the whole movie, ogling and digesting the story (although I did finished the same book written by Dan Brown last year). Robert Langdon (played by Tom Hanks) displayed his experience, knowledge and wit to search for clues and decypher the codes laid out by the Illuminaties to prevent the biggest catastrophe in mankind. Despite the minor glitch half way through the movie- it was halted for at least 15 minutes (I even called my fren whose daddy owns the cineplex to ask him to confirm what happened, but he never got back to me... tmd), I would still give this movie a BIG 8/10.


Demons?

Cape No.7

Official Movie Trailer


There was a great hype about this movie in Taiwan. Almost every Taiwanese will ask me if I have watched this movie. So to satisfy my own curiosity and their inquiry, me and my friends decided to watch it at the cinema while we were at XiMenTing.

Movie tickets are priced at ~RM20. Expensive...but boh pien....

Details of the movie ~ [please click here]

It has broken all movie records in taiwan, left right up down... so my verdict of the movie...

It's a good movie overall. The thing that I like about this movie is that it brings out the emotions, the music and the wonderful beaches at KenTing (墾丁) Beach. To all of you movie buffs out there, this movie is certainly a catch. (Enjoy Chie Tanaka's accent... me likey)

Harry Potter 7

The title of Harry Potter 7 has been revealed by J.K.Rowling herself. The final book of this Harry Potter collection will be called "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". This very much anticipated fiction novel is expected to be sold in bookstores on 07/07/07 (and ironically this is the 7th book of the mega series). Me as a Harry Potter fan is looking forward to this last episode of the boy-now-teen-wizard's challenges to destroy his nemesis Tom Riddle or better known as Lord Voldemort. Also just can't wait to watch "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" which is scheduled to be in cinemas on 13/07/07.
