a.k.a. “Music that can’t be stopped until finished” Lately I accidentally blew away all my music playlists (once again; I just don’t seem to learn) while updating software on my iPhone. Getting back my music isn’t at the top of my to-do list right now so recovery has been slow. It has, however, been an [...]

Here are a couple of jokes that made me chuckle and then gaze thoughtfully like a philosopher: ……………………………………………………… A man walked out to the street and caught a taxi just going by. He got into the taxi, and the cabbie said, “Perfect timing. You’re just like Brian!” Passenger: “Who?” Cabbie: “Brian Sullivan. He’s a guy [...]

Ask Kim: Great cosmic significance, tax-free gold, and THE END
Ask Kim: Great cosmic significance, tax-free gold, and THE END
Mini reviews of: 500 Days of Summer (2009) / Prince of Persia (2010) / LOST: The End (2010) 500 Days of Summer Fate versus coincidence. Hope versus experienced cynicism. Does one bear more truth than the other, or is the universe eternally divided into two irreconcilable views? This is definitely not a film intended for [...]
A song that got stuck in my head on my way to church this morning: The long awaited rains have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground / And carved their way to where the wild and rushing river can be found / And like the rains, I have been carried here to where the river [...]
Mini reviews of: Be With You (2004) / Love Letter (1995) / A Moment to Remember (2004) When introducing the iTunes Movie Rental service back in 2008, Apple CEO Steve Jobs was quoted as saying “Most of us watch our favourite movies… just once.” I tend to agree, but there are a few good films [...]
Today I watched City of Angels (1998) for the first time. Here are a couple of interesting dialogues that I thought I’d jot down: Seth: What’s that like? What’s it taste like? Describe it, like Hemingway. Maggie: Well, it tastes like, uh, a pear. You don’t know what a pear tastes like? Seth: I don’t [...]
I found a song with the most cheerful flute interlude EVER: Why don’t we take a little piece of summer sky, hang it on a tree / For that’s the way to start to make a pretty world for you and for me / And for the sun we’ll find a lemon bright balloon, you [...]
Human Target, for those who don’t know, is a new TV series about a mercenary and his supporting crew (a private firm) tasked with a variety of low-key missions involving things like industrial espionage, rescue, treasure-hunting, and world peace. The show seems to be gaining popularity around the world, and from what I can see, [...]
Reviewed: Shutter Island / Green Zone / Haeundae Shutter Island As I told a friend of mine (without spoiling it, but her other friend then kindly spoilt the fun for her), this film had me completely fooled right till the end – and beyond. That’s because even after learning the shocking yet inevitable truth, I [...]
For well over the past 72 hours, I’ve had this one tune stuck in my head. I knew it was from my Michael Bublé collection but thought I’d look it up knowing that it was a remake of a hit from many decades ago as are most of his other songs. Compared with the countless [...]
