I still remember this movie. It was broadcasted in TV in my childhood at least twice. It was many years back. I believe it has been nearly 10 years back. I guess I have never really understand what does the movie about. All I could remember are the scenes, and transformers. I don’t know how the storyline develops.

     I remembered the time when I sacrificed an episode of my brother’s Kamen Rider Black RX tape to record transformer tv show episode 1. There was transformers animated series on air during childhood time… I remember that I got to watch the first episode somehow… in the house of my grandma tv. During that time, my childhood, I have kind of interest to record tv shows, such as Ultraman, Power Rangers, Kamen Riders (seems not available in tv that time, but we rented video tape to watch).  My mum and dad bought some blank video tape for us (me and my bro ) do the recording. Mostly I’m just the only one that pick up the manual try to understand it, and to do the recording. Well, that time when I saw the episode 1, I felt like want to record it, but I don’t have blank video tape… I ask my brother to let me use the “Kamen Rider Black RX” tape, to record the Transformer show.. (as in the pass those tape is rewritable, hence, “the 2nd episode” of th KR Black RX tape was “sacrificed”…) I do feel bad somehow of doing so… that video tape was bought along with an Ultraman ACE Video tape for me..

   I always thought of keeping those nice show as collection and to be reviewed maybe in future… Lol, I couldn’t predict what will be. Somehow it just look precious to me. So I recorded the transformers the movie (animated) when the second time it was broadcasted on tv. But that time, there are advertisement panel cover up the bottom and the (left / right) of screen… …

… …

Years after…

Today, I watched this movie again… on my laptop Dell C400, with subtitle, and this time I fully understood the storyline of the movie… Future is always… hard to imagine… lol… but this somehow just have a link to the past. :)

The sequel to the Transformers of 2007, Transformers : Revenge of the fallen…

 

Somehow for some uncertain reasons I feel like not quite satisfied after watching it. The pace of the movie seems to be very fast. However, something that I like is the concept of the Transformer. It seems cool.

 

For the first time of watching movie, I tried the online ticketing of GSC cinema. The overflow of internet traffic seems to bring down the website. Luckily, the good thing is they still have a stripped down version of the page, provide the minimum functionality such as ticketing service. So… I select the screen time, the movie, and also the pick the seat places (this amazed me of the ability to select seat)… Eventually, ends the transaction with maybank2u, it’s such a convenient :) However, additional fees of RM0.50 is charged for each ticket. Besides, the good thing is, I still can choose the “student price” ticket even if I do the ticket reservation online… cheers

 

    By watching this movie, it inspires me to download the old animated version of Transformers the Movie, which was 1986.. lol.. such a long time age old movie I watched before in childhood time… (Probably a review now could help me understand better of what I watched last time. )

     Oh yea, I searched some images from internet to attach with this post. Seems like these are the poster of the movie. It looks good after all.

 

 

As for this one, it looks like kind of meaningful. It shows the Autobot leader Optimus Prime… sort of Inspiring, giving hopes…

 

This movie also reminds me of watching the First Transformer movie (2007) with my brother in Jusco, (Kinta City, Ipoh). Moreover, before that, we have been watching this kind of Robot show since our childhood. Since now we’re fart aparted as studying in different place, then I wish he could get to watch this movie too…

 

     Oh well anyway, it is really kind of surprise that all kinds of movie would come out in this recent years. Though this movie involves many heavy CGI, the great thing is that it merges well into the reality of the movie. Making the robots, the transformers look as if they are really there in the movie.

Diablo was released nearly 10 years ago, last with Diablo II expansion: Lord of Destruction in year 2001… I come to look for the game, and try on it due the upcoming title, Diablo III, that is the what caught my attention.

   Though it was an old game, and I didn’t get to play during that time… but now it’s like compensate for it. At least, me and my brother, even my girlfriend can together try on the game, as fresh player, each on separate pc/ own laptops.. :) Besides, the good thing is, it’s the game that my Pentium III 866Mhz laptop still can well support. I find the game play experience of diablo is very interesting. RPG style, controlling a single character, (the hero) adventures, taking quests, and finding rare items and fighting along the way with an interesting lore, and back story.

     At least now, I feels great that I have tried all the three major game titles of blizzard, Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo… All I can conclude is… all of its releases are worth to play and interesting. :D

     The RPG style of playing which emphasize on character building greatly inspire me on the importance of having a well defined character goal, (what sort of character that eventually I’m building), a strategy, and lots of individual management things… Sometimes I would think, if I could apply to the method of strengthening my character in game in real life… isn’t that something amazing?

• Multiplayer Bomberman Bluetooth Remote Controller
  • Description: Using "HID configuration editor, create a HID profile for Sony Ericsson K618 (my phone) that maps the key for the SNES joystick configuration (aka Keyboard key), to play the bomberman, thus making it possible to have more than 2+ players playing bomberman in one computer. (up to 5 max for the game, as keyboard has insufficient space to cater that many players)
  • Status : Success with Player One on first attempt. Haven’t tested with Multiplayer control scenario. theoretically, it would work still.
  • Version: 0.1

My Comment:
   Basically, this is a very simple thing. Thanks to the “HID configuration Editor”, that could easily create a Bluetooth remote profile for Sony Ericsson Phone. For an instance, I just simply key in the configuration “keys” such as “T”, “G”, “F”, “H”, for the player 1 to control the bomberman moves in Up, Down, Left, Right on keyboard; set it to the Bluetooth Remote Control Profile, the “*.HID” file, thus make it possible for player to play the game with hand phone using it as remote control.

   This idea just come to my mind today, and I thought of giving it a try. Perhaps someday, run in public, or University Event, for fun? Only if there such a chance to do so. It was done in a rush, first attempt, still in crude form. :P At the moment, I haven’t thought of further development, until it’s needed. Lol

Batman Begins, a movie from year 2005, after 3 years had passed, then I got the chance to watch it on my laptop, and it was just watched :)  It capture my attention, and decided to get the movie, due to the announcement of next sequel of new batman series on cinema - Batman: The Dark Knight (2008).

BRUCE: What have I done, Alfred? Everything my family... ...my father, built...

ALFRED: The Wayne legacy is more than bricks and mortar, sir.

BRUCE: I wanted to save Gotham. I failed.

ALFRED: Why do we fall, sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.

BRUCE: You still haven't given up on me?

ALFRED: Never.

...                                  (from the conversation of Bruce and his Butler Alfred)

 

   This is the best batman movie that I have watched, as compared to previous batman series of the older time. "Batman Begins" open up a new era of batman, depicts the story in a darker and realistic tone, we look more into batman now, than just all the action fighting scenes. The darker and realistic tone of the film make it a success, which I felt much relates to the current trend of world and society. I personally felt that previous generation would be simpler, and for us, our era, nowadays, really a more complicated one...

   The dialog above was extracted from the scene that Alfred saves Bruce Wayne from the mansion that is burnt down by League of Shadow. Personally, I give this movie a 5/5 rating. Its storyline really motivates me, especially about how Bruce Wayne learn to fight against evil, learn to differentiate justice and vengeance, and also his determination and believe that the city can still be salvaged. why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up... it's  a very good point. The story begins with young Bruce Wayne falls into caves, and a series of miserable life until he learnts how to master his fear.

   Well, sometimes I just felt that being a superhero, changing the world, saving humanity, overcome the fear, and darkness of life, it is something really cool, and great. Somehow it just motivates me, to take life in a more positive angle, and see challenges as part of life which is unavoidable, but when we learn to deal with it, we grow. We learn to pick up ourselves, each when we fall...

It has been nearly two years since its prequel , the chronicle of narnia : the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. This year May 21... I watched it with my girlfriend, and my brother. It is lucky that every wednesday there would be "discount" for watching movies. :)

In overall, it is a good movie. There was one scene particularly captures my attention, which is in the part of castle raid, when the crowd (the narnians) are escaping the castle after they meet their failure. One bull man-like creature diehard sacrificing itself holding the heavy gates, for others to escape. Eventually not everyone successfully escape the castle, many of them were trapped inside. They're desperate shouting to those who has escaped, and those that successfully escaped turn and look at their brethren that was slaughtered inside sorrowfully... which I feel this is a very sad scene... as they had no choice, and helpless but to leave the brethren behind in the war...

     Well, at least near the ending part of the movie, there is one song I found very nice, which is "the call" by Regina Spektor...
