Fantastic 4 - Rise of Silver Surfer

It was a Saturday night, and I wanted to catch a movie. Surprisingly, I wasn't exactly planning on watching Fantastic 4 since I felt it was going to be impossible to get good seats or even get any tickets for the matter. So my girlfriend and I were actually planning to catch Pirates of the Caribbean ("Pirates") since we didn't get the chance to watch it earlier with my work and studies getting in the way.

So this how we ended up watching Fantastic 4:

We were happily eager to watch Pirates and driving to One Utama. On the way there, we both saw a pretty bad jam to get in. So I thought let's not waste time and head up into The Curve ("Curve") - generally the Curve has more available spots for movies, probably because less people go there due to the distance. Anyway, we got to the Curve, found a beautiful parking lot for my car (I love corner parking lots - keeps my car save from inconsiderate people that open their car doors without minding what's beside). I was quite happy and we got the cinema, and we realised they were no longer showing Pirates!


No more Pirates, so last resort - back to One Utama. This time, no traffic crawl on the outside but when we got in, we were in the parking lot searching for a spot for 45 minutes. We were literally hunting down an empty space.

Finally settling down for a relatively good spot, we went in to get tickets for Pirates. I was really confident on getting the tickets considering the show's been on for a pretty long time. Then came another bomb shell - no tickets until the late shows that start around 11:30pm. Fine! We headed off to another cinema in One Utama, and came another bomb shell - tickets left only for the first two rows from the screen. Tired of queueing up and all the disappointments, we settled for Fantastic 4.


At first, I wasn't expecting much from the show since the first one wasn't too good. But I was dead wrong! The show was really fantastic! The cast did well to replicated the characters like the comic. And Silver Surfer - he was really cool and they did well to be true as possible. Reed was as scientific as ever, Sue was really good looking and well suited for the character (Jessica Alba!!! What do you think???), Johnny as cheeky and always on to girls, and the Thing as strong as in the comic. This installation saw more action and the writers did well to amalgamate the mix of action, drama and love (Spidey was too much on the soft side). Scripts writers got the dialogue very fluid and more natural.


All I can say, is well done! This show was definitely unlike the blunder of Spiderman 3.


If I were to rate the show, I'd give it a good 8.9 out of 10!

hiatus!

After having been online on the ~Path of Time~ since 2006..... it is going to be hard, painful and sad. As of today, I will officially stop writing on the ~Path of Time~. For those who have continued to read my posts, I thank you very much for taking timeout to read my posts. I am not sure if all my writings were great but I'll be happy to know even if it was only one post that reached your heart. I may one day pick up from where I left off here but only time will tell. Who knows I might even start afresh? Until next time.......... time stops ticking for the ~Path of Time~

one foot in the past, another in the future........ what about the present?

All of us go through a cycle, what we commonly call - the past, present and the future. It can probably be summed up by this simple phrase: " we come from the past to be in the present and look forward to the future ". Now, what I want you to do is take a step back, or just give your mind a minute or two to digest the above mentioned phrase. Ask yourself if it applies to you. Really ask yourself; and I mean REALLY ask yourself in the most honest of manner, whether it really applies to you. You may find it difficult to arrive at a 'yes' and even if you do, you probably find yourself in a paralysis state of mind trying to justify the 'yes'. If you really ponder about it, you are likely to find that most of us would find this phrase more relevant instead: " we come from the past and look forward to the future " You will find many of us either hang on to the past or look far too forward into the future, or likely for some to even be dwelling too much in ...

my first tow truck ride

It was like every other Saturday morning for me yesterday. Woke up early to get breakfast, get ready for my weekly rock climbing sessions. I felt pretty good yesterday since I managed to sleep the night before so I was feeling very energized and upbeat about my climb session. I might have spoke too soon though because my car decided to pull a fast one on me. I found it surprising because I always went on preventive maintenance for my car so I really wasn't expecting any breakdowns especially I didn't hear any sound symptoms, neither did I saw any signs of an impending breakdown. After all, it is only logical that mechanical parts would give out some form of symptoms to let you know it's about to go. I was actually driving myself to rock climbing, feeling all geared up and gung-ho about it. As I approached an uphill climb and right bend, I realised I was losing compression and the car was starting not respond to my pedal work on the accelerator. To make matters worse because...
