Was recently introduced to the series APPARITIONS by Mrs. Gregory. Produced by BBC One, Apparitions stars Martin Shaw (Judge John Deed, George Gently), originally produced as a two-part special for transmission in early 2008. The series was being produced as a longer series and on air since late 2008.

The series is about Father Jacob (Martin Shaw), a priest working to promote candidates for sainthood who becomes drawn in to exorcism as he discovers a dark battle between good and evil. A battle that threatens the future of the human race itself. (more…)

Any Lost fans here?

The countdown for LOST Season 5 have begun!

I guess the timing of this release is just nice with HEROES ended in December and Prison Break on a break.

The fifth season will commence on January 21, 2009 with a three-hour premiere consisting of a clip-show and two back-to-back new episodes. The remainder of the season will air on Wednesdays at 9:00PM Eastern/8:00PM Central. According to Lindelof, the season “is about why [the people who have left the island] need to get back”. Also, season five will feature significantly fewer flashbacks and flashforwards.

Check out the two fanmade trailers I found on youtube and while you are watching that, bookmark in your calendar for January 21st! Or rather in Malaysia, 22nd. For torrent users, we’ve something to download again!

MOVIE REVIEW: Bolt

Posted By Michael Yip / December, 4, 2008 / 5 comments

Bolt the Super Dog! Woof Woof… It’s a story of a dog who is convinced that his role as a super dog is reality. When he is ripped from his world of fantasy, and action by his own doing. His own obsession with his owner and keeping her protected from the green eyed man of the television show he works on completely absorbs his life. This takes him to the point of no return when he believes that she has been kidnapped, and he accidentally gets packaged and shipped to New York city in pursuit of his owner.

This is when the story unfolds, and he goes through a transitional period where he learns that he is as super as every other dog. His disbelief of his abilities being non existent fuels a lot of different emotional changes, and eventually comes to a reality of who he really is. This all culminates when he finds his owner and reunites with her in the action packed climax of the movie. (more…)

MOVIE REVIEW: Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist

Posted By Michael Yip / December, 4, 2008 / 3 comments

Just got back from the premier movie screening of Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist  organized by Nuffnang Singapore. The screening was held at The Cathay and as it was a last minute decision, we basically rushed to the cinema to catch the movie with the rest of the Nuffnang Bloggers.

Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist, originally a book by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, is now a movie. Nick (Michael Cera), the only straight band member of “The Jerk Offs” has recently been dumped by his hot girlfriend, Tris (Alexis Dziena). Nick believes that he can win her back by sending her special songs on CDs that he has mixed just for her. Nick has sent her about 10 CDs, but Tris only throws them in the trash.

However, Tris’ best friend, Norah (Kat Dennings), has retrieved most of them, and she loves them. Norah has never met Nick, but the music he loves touches her heart. Norah and her friend Caroline are at a nightclub where “The Jerk Offs” are playing, and Norah is attracted to Nick while he is playing his guitar. Tris shows up at the same club with her new boyfriend. Norah doesn’t want Tris to think that she is dateless, so she asks Nick to pretend to be her boyfriend for 5 minutes and gives him a big kiss. Then Tris tells Norah that Nick is her ex-boyfriend. Now that Norah has Nick, the heartless Tris decides that she now wants him back.

A night of searching for the band “Where’s Fluffy” ends up with one of these girls winning Nick’s love. (more…)
