They have little consideration on the safety of others. Anyone who saw this in must have appreciated the great message that the advertisement was trying to convey – don’t tailgate. But a quick look at the advertisement reveals other important lessons too.

Sorry…I have been infected with a fever!

Before anyone presses the panic button, let me assure you that I am not down with any dengue fever. I have been hit with a “Bing & Bong” fever. They are the characters from children serial “Tiny Planets”.

The symptoms (finger automatically pressing on channel 63 at about 9.54 pm and humming Tiny Planets theme song when I am taking shower) started last 2 weeks when I watching my son’s favorite kiddies shows when I realized he was almost silent, concentrating almost 101% on the show that was on the TV…”Tiny Planets”

world of the worlds movie

is a classic story by H.G. Wells (mind you, it came out in 1898!) but how much difference that can make in his remake movie in 2005? That was the thought running through my mind when I saw the movie showing at my local theatre. Image source: Movieclips.com

After hearing about the movie and seeing that it got an “A” rating in The Star, I and my wife set aside our Sunday to see the movie.

Tamil Movie Review: 7 Groups of Movie Viewers You Will See in Cinema

anniyan vikram movie tamil

Last week, my wife and I were at IOI Mall to see the latest Tamil movie “Anniyan” starring Vikram and directed by Shankar (picture source: www.hindu.com).

Frankly speaking, I don’t normally watch Tamil in cinemas unless it is a really good movie. I rather spend my good RM18.00 (that’s expensive for some) on some sci-fi movies (like Star Wars or the Matrix).

It was funny yet quite a realistic scenario in most of the Indian homes…”Man breaks TV to get wife’s attention”

Humor 101: Comedy In A Galaxy Far Far Away

So the story goes on the final installation of the trilogy. It is opening on 19th May across the globe. I am huge fan of the saga and have seen all the series. I know of some guys who watched the last Star Wars movie (“Attack of the Clones”) 7 times and still can’t get enough of the action and mind-boggling special effects.
