LAMBORGHINI MURCIELAGO LP670-4 SUPERVELOCE

This Murcielago is by far the fastest Lamborghini ever made. It’s also the last Murcielago ever made. I’m clearly not a car enthusiast… before I saw this video that is. I accidentally bumped into this video while watching “Batmobile” videos from the movie ” The Dark Knight”.

There’s just something about Lamborghini cars that makes me feel like I’m Bruce Wayne/The Dark Knight… or maybe it’s just because Bruce Wayne drove one in the Dark Knight movie. At any rate, I’m now officially a Lamborghini fan.

Nokia N900: A step up from N97

john005 — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 23:15:24 +0000

Here’s an ad for the new phone.

Just a note: This video is property of Nokia.

3.5-inch touchscreen display
QWERTY pad
5 megapixel camera – Carl Zeiss lens
3.5mm audio jack
32GB storage

After a few months after the release of a similar phone which is the N97, Nokia releases this new phone with a plethora of great features. It’s Nokia’s new flagship phone, I guess. What i like about it is it’s form factor which lets you use it two ways: touchescreen or QWERTY pad. That should keep you from getting bored with it quickly.

It can also replace your MP3 player or your portable video player coz’ it has 32 GB worth of storage and a wide-enough screen which is good enough for watching movie. Camera is somewhat lacking in facilities with only LED flash. Xenon flash would have been nice.

Overall, the phone looks really attractive with its arsenal of features that would more than suffice any phone user’s demands and more. Too bad I don’t have the resources to but this phone, yet.

Full Metal Alchemist OVA – State Alchemists vs Homunculi

This is probably one of the best fight scenes I’ve ever seen on an anime.

When the major said “You overdid it…” was hilarious! haha

“All over now” from Eric Hutchinson’s “Sounds like this” album

john005 — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 16:23:36 +0000

“All over now” is an awesome track from Eric Hutchinson’s album, “Sounds like this”. Watch it here.

Lyrics to “All Over Now”
Call me crazy if you’ve got it in you
but these people don’t seem to mind
sweet vermouth now you’re telling me the truth
a little stubbornness will work out fine
a bottom feeder at the end of my rope
but i’m wondering where this rope began
gonna circle around what i couldn’t help bring down
it’s just supply with demand
nothing looks the same
even when there’s been no change
say that something’s gonna give
and it’s all giving out on you

CHORUS
when it’s all over now
it’s all over now
it’s no longer fun and it’s all been overdone
so it’s all over now

a large pickup truck with a little cargo towed
gets from baker’s to the laundromat
these daily fights all start to sound alike
i guess i’m gonna have to live with that
short changed
now it’s getting even harder to identify the repetition
short changed
now it’s getting even harder to identify the repetition
will i simply peel away
feels more likely everyday
say that something’s gonna give
and it’s all giving out on you

CHORUS

and if you came here to tell me that you’re sorry
for the pain you couldn’t cause
then save your breath and use it
just to regain what you have lost and look at the cost

Wanna see what happens to people that are too greedy? Watch this.

“A sleep-deprived office worker accidentally discovers a black hole – and then greed gets the better of him…” – futureshorts

Poor guy. I think he needs professional help.

What would you do if this happens to you? (the black hole part, not the getting locked-up part)

Black Button (short film by Dark Heart Productions)

john005 — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 14:29:03 +0000

Here’s a brilliant short film I saw on Youtube. It’s called “Black Button” by Dark Heart Productions. Pure genius. This will help you make better choices in life (or the after-life).

“Mr Roberts finds himself awoken inexplicably in a white room. A man sits before him at a desk and in between them stands a black button. If Mr Roberts pushes it, he will receive a briefcase filled with millions of dollars. Or he can take the key to the door and leave penniless. The catch? Pushing the button will result in the death of a human being. What would you do?” - Dark Heart Productions

This here got me interested with short films because of it’s sheer genius.

Together / He Ni Zai Yi Qi Movie Review

john005 — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 13:28:32 +0000

A short video clip showcasing the movie’s violin performances of “Sunshine Over Tashkorgan” and the “Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto”

“Together” is one of my all time favorite movies. It’s about a child prodigy named xiaochun(Tang Yun) who has the makings to become one of the most brilliant violinists. He was abandoned by his biological parents in a train station together with a violin case beside him . He was then found by his foster father crying. The man adopted him and treated him like his own son. When he was about 13 years old he with his father came to the city to find a mentor. He was faced to choose between fame which his teacher can give him or love for his father…
This is one of the most touching movies I’ve ever watched. The movie is packed with violin performances which I’m sure any violin enthusiast and professionals alike will surely admire. The movie shows just how much dedication and passion musicians have for their craft. This also inspired me to learn the violin although until now I know very very very very very very little.

The sound that the violin produces is for me the most relaxing among all the stringed instruments. I really like how the violin sounds and I really envy those have mastered this super cool instrument.

I’d give the movie a rating of 8.5 out 10.

TRANSFORMERS Movie Review

john005 — Sat, 07 Jul 2007 16:45:03 +0000

As most of us already know the movie originally came from an animated series. And I bet most guys who watched the movie also watched the animated series when they were young like in my case I was just in first grade when I watched it. So I really had to watch it and see how Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg “transformed” it into a movie. And I must say it didn’t match my expectation… It went way past it!!!. Great movie… One of the best yet… and worth watching several times. So on with the review… The casting was great actually I liked the fact that they included some of whom I’m familiar with like Shia who played as Sam who before starred in the show Even Stevens one of my fave Disney shows. Sam an average teenager like any of us worries about school stuff, getting a car, getting a girl and that kind of stuff but he had no clue he’d end up being the world’s only key to save the entire human race as he has the only clue to where the “All Spark” was being kept.Oh and who could ever forget about Mikaela(Megan Fox) let’s just say she’s one of the things that made the movie even better. Oh and yeah I noticed Amaury was there haha he’s Sucre from that hit tv series “prisonbreak”. The movie’s story turned out a little different with the integration of some details like the US government and some other stuff that gave viewers more to ponder with after seeing the movie. The characters from the 2d old animation were turned inti 3d. Something to be impressed with is how much detail was put into them and how realistic they turned out. lets just say they got pimped real well. Another thing that got my attention was the forms they took wasn’t in the old series take Bumblebee as an example he took form of a modern day Camaro which was suh-weet and Jazz took the form of a nice Pontiac . All of the Autobots took land transpo forms which was kind of a disadvantage.We transformer fans must have dome something good to have such a good remodelling of the autobots and the decepticons. They all looked so cool with all the oh-so realistic details that were put on to them and that I think is one of the strong points of the movie.The special effects were simply astounding with all the explosions and all. What struck me the most was the part where they transform into their robot forms which was so cool wish I had a car like those hehe. Oh and yeah the transformations wouldn’t be complete without their oldschool transformation sound effects although in the movie they were more of machine clicking and stuff. the fight scenes had me on the edge of my seat it really got me sitting up staright trying to focus into the details of the succeeding scenes.. The technology shown in the movie is a good way to expand the viewer’s imagination which Spielberg is actually pretty good at and as a Sci-fi movie fan this is by far one of the best I’ve seen. The movie is just plain mindblowing with all the fight scenes, story, effects, and characters. I’d recommend it to anyone especially those who watched the animated series before. A grade of A+ would fit to show how great the movie really is. So there you have it. Pls if you haven’t seen the movie yet I suggest you get moving and see the movie at the cinemas and not on pirated dvds as that would really suck the awesomeness out of the experience.Here’s a Trailer taken from youtube to pump up the urge to watch the movie hehe

Heroes TV series

HEROES Trailer

Ever dreamed of having super powers like invisibilty so you can sneak around without getting seen, fast healing and recovery so you can be invincible, power to bend time and space so you can go back in time to save the ones you love or undo whatever you please, and better yet have the power to copy all kinds of super powers that would make you the most powerful being?Yeah, it sounds so much like X-MEN, but its not. It is HEROES a tv series where a group of gifted individuals gets together to save the world. Each one given a cool power that they just discovered which apparently they still can’t control fully.

One of the coolest characters in the series is Hiro Nakamura a japanese who discovered his power to go back in time or vice versa. Actually in the seires there are two versions of him much like the future and present Trunks from the Dragon Ball Z series. Another similarity between Hiro and Trunks is that the future Trunks is as cool as the Future Hiro and the same goes with the present versions. And not to mention they do time travel hehe.

And of course, another fave of mine is Peter Petrelli. He can copy all the powers of whomever is close to him. this guy’s power is the coolest and the most dangerous. But hey you can’t have it all and be just plain happy y’know you gotta have to take responsibilty… “Great Power comes with Great Responsibilty” – Uncle Ben hehe.So ill stop there nlng hehe haba na eh hehe see ya on my next posts.
