[Trailer] Zombieland

In the horror comedy Zombieland focuses on two men who have found a way to survive a world overrun by zombies. Columbus is a big wuss -- but when you're afraid of being eaten by zombies, fear can keep you alive. Tallahassee is an AK-toting, zombie-slaying' bad ass whose single determination is to get the last Twinkie on earth. As they join forces with Wichita and Little Rock, who have also found unique ways to survive the zombie mayhem, they will have to determine which is worse: relying on each other or succumbing to the zombies.

IMDB

The trailer got released on the internet today, and I have to admit I love comedy horrors =P The humor in them is so twisted, and I guess is not appealing to the wider audience of people except for ones with a similar twisted sense of humor.

The movie reminded me of Shaun of the Dead, the british horror comedy remake of the Dawn of the Dead, and an incredible laugh. The zombies in the movie seem to be rather fast pased in movements, which is quite contradictry to the popular notion of how a zombie should move. And Bill Murray is in it, acting as a zombie! =D

Here is the trailer. Love the Purell scene lol.

[Music] MJ vs. AAF - Smooth Criminal

I honestly love this song, never seems to get old. I only listen to AAF's (Alien Ant Farm) cover because it's more 'now' and more rocky. Although I gotta say, I'm having trouble deciding which one is nicer MJ's (Micheal Jackson) or AAF's version. Phat reminded me of this song when he linked me a funny video, that I'll post lastly, which had the MJ's version of the song. It made me go and listen to the full version and I'm kind of shifting to MJ's one because I'm finding it tune-ier/funkier. What I mean is, when he starts to sing the chorus there's the part where he says "he left the signs in the window (that he struck you-a crescendo Annie)"...the last few words are sung with a tune compared to AAF. I like it more that way because it's not plain. I don't know...I guess each one is different and cool in it's own way that we shouldn't compare. lol.

As one of the commenters on the MJ video said "It can be a bit repetitive, but it's catchy as hell. Once you've heard this song, you're never gonna get it out of your head. Such a kick-ass song." I totally agree with them. I've been listening to this song (the AAF version) since 2002 when I first heard about it. It never got bored of it.

Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal (cover)

The kid in the yellow shirt dancing >.< is awesome!!

Micheal Jackson - Smooth Criminal (original)

Never liked any of his work really, actually never listened to anything from him
but I give him credit for this song. Was shocked when I found out it was originally his =\

Smooth Khaliji =P

This is so funny! lol. They are so friggin' in sync and the person the edited the
video did a great job on making the music go with the dancing.

So which one do you like?

[Book] The Historian

Amazing ... I fell inlove with History even more due to this book. Really loved it!

The story deals with vampires, but not Bram Stoker's version of vampires, oh no. This book talks about a real vampire --> Vlad Teppes, or Vlad the Impaler. It also focuses on the connection between him and the Islamic Ottoman Empire dealing with is hatred towards it and the great fued between him and Sultan Mehmed II, the conqueror of Constantinople.

Two Historians, Paul and Helena, whom are brought together after a series of unfortunate events,begin to delve deeper and deeper into the history of Vlad the Impaler as well as the Ottoman Empire, in order to save the life of a fellow historian.

The story is fast paced, incrdibly researched and the characters are so real. It is one of those books that I can think back on and see the entire story play back in mind like a movie. It isnt a light read by all means (656 pages) but I did not want it to end at all. To be honest I was really sad when it did lol.

[Movie] The Proposal

Plot:
When high-powered book editor Margaret faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she's actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew, who she's tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails, Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious consequences.

----------------

So watched this movie today. Been waiting for it ever since I saw it's trailer about a month ago. It was such a nice movie to watch and you've got a nice comedy coming with it. Loved the story even though it's typical and you expect what you expect lol. Still, it's really nice...one of those stories eh!

There were a couple of funny moments yet there were moments where you just go O.o "nooooooooo" in an *ew* way. lol. You'd know what I mean when you watch the movie =P

Sandra played her role really well. She's like this big boss that everyone hates and can't stand her to the point that they call her "it". lol. She's really pretty but damn has she aged. And honestly I applaud her for what looks like a pair of 5 inch high heel shoes that she wore through out the whole movie =O

As for Ryan Reynolds *melts*....who does not like Ryan Reynolds *melts*. From "2 guys and a girl at the pizza place", to "Blade: Trinity" and to a number of other movies, this is another role, where he is this lovable, sweet person who finds himself in a bad yet funny situation in order to keep his job and to reach his ambition of becoming an editor. He was really funny and *cough*hand*cough*some =P

A good, nice, romantic, light comedy for all those who are movie freaks and especially to those that are into romance/comedy. It's definitely a good one, so don't miss it.

8/10 from me.

[Game] Square Enix, The Legacy Falls?

Who doesn't know about Square Enix and their achievements, one of the best Role playing games maker in the gaming history. They almost went into breakdown and the company back then wanted to collapse until they made one and only game; Final Fantasy. The games that was created had continous succeful ratings which made the company bigger and bigger and the series of final fantasy is never stopping since each one is based on a total different story, but with the same elements of the game such as monsters and names of items.

The final fantasy series reached part 13 and is/was supposed to come out by 2008, but unfortunately there was some decaying in the accuracy of the date of release. It seems to me that they are never satisfied with the outcome, the game now is due 2010 and I personally have been waiting since 2007, how amazing. All of you know of E3, the Final Fantasy didn't get the most anticipated RPG game, it seems that people are a bit bored of the false promises.

Here is the trailer:

I, honestly, am more excited about the other Final Fantasy which comes out on the PSP. it basically holds all the characters from 1 till 12, good and bad, and mash them into a new type of a fighting game.

Well I also heard that they are trying to manipulate many games into the anti terrorist theme, for example PACman in taliban:

[Music] Linkin Park - New Divide

Oh yeah! Here it is. After a few listens, it totally grew on me. At first I just loved the music, but now I love the whole song. It's definitely a good one and totally suiting the second Transformers Movie. The music video for New Divide was filmed on the set of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (laaaaah *holy music*) movie and directed by Joe Hahn (who's a band member in LP).

Awesome-ness! Chester's singing in the first verse totally reminded me of the voice of the main singer in 'The Rasmus' (another good band). Still, fantastic song!

Enjoy!

[Recipe] Grilled Eggplant Panini

As an overseas students living on my own, eating well is quite an issue. Takeout is out of the question when it comes to that, and hence I had to turn to cooking. However, some days I would get back home after a long day at Uni and feel too tired to put an effort into preparing my dinner that I end up fixing up the same simple and rather unhealthy dishes, such as fish burgers, pizza or noodles. I honestly was starting to feel sick from repeatedly eating such food. And that's when my obsession with hunting for and collecting healthy yummy recipes started. The main criteria was for it to be simple and with a quick preparation time, since I would usually be ravenous and dead tired when preparing it and hence have no mind for something extravagant.

I'll begin with reviewing my current favorite (how biased is that :P)

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
8 1/2-inch slices eggplant (about 1 small)
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
8 slices whole-grain country bread
8 thin slices fresh mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup sliced jarred roasted red peppers
4 thin slices red onion

Preparation:

1. Preheat grill to medium-high.

2. Combine mayonnaise and basil in a small bowl. Using 1 tablespoon oil, lightly brush both sides of eggplant and sprinkle each slice with garlic salt. With the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, brush one side of each slice of bread.

3. Grill the eggplant for 6 minutes, turn with a spatula, top with cheese, and continue grilling until the cheese is melted and the eggplant is tender, about 4 minutes more. Toast the bread on the grill, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

4. To assemble sandwiches: Spread basil mayonnaise on four slices of bread. Top with the cheesy eggplant, red peppers, onion and the remaining slices of bread. Cut in half and serve warm.

How delicious does that look? <3 Ok, I have to admit I kinda didn't follow the recipe 100%. In step 1, I combined the mayonnaise with an Italian herbs mixture that contained the following:

• Marjoram
• Basil
• Red Bell Peppers
• Rosemary
• Oregano
• Parsley
• Thyme

I left out the roasted red pepper altogether, because I simply do not like it. You could try using Colby cheese instead of Mozzarella, tastes just as yummy (I personally prefer Mozzarella). Lastly, after the final step of preparing the sandwiches, before cutting them in half I placed them back in the oven for another 2 minutes on low, so as to warm the sandwiches up. Oh and, if you are preparing for one, cut the amount of ingredients to a half or a quarter (depending on how much you eat).

Rating: 10/10 *two thumbs up*
