A Waste of Time

We've all sat down and watched a movie till the end and then asked ourselves what have I been watching? how come I did not pass out and doze?

Well the last movie I watched gave me this kind of feeling. It was an Anime and if you have not yet heard about my love for anime, now you can and I'll let it be known that I'd steal to watch them.

So I download this anime movie from amazon to let pass time, I donno why I even choose it in the first place from all the other animation movies but I think it must have been it's price which was so affordable that I did not bother to wonder why it was that cheap.

The movie am talking about has the great and mighty (to some) Samuel L. Jackson. Somehow, I've failed to appreciate this guy's movies ever since his scene in Coming to America...and if you can recommend any movie you liked with this dude as the main character, I'll pay handsomely.

Back to the story, the culprit movie was Afro Samurai - Resurrection. It's about some,......I do not even want to bother taking about it just do a google search if you want to know what it's about.

After the movie, I thought whoever made it must have totally been nuts. Making an African(American) a Samurai warrior does not do any justice to the black man. It's just like trying to make an elephant mate with a chicken and some things just never click.

I warn you, if you do go ahead to watch, be prepared to get waste your money, time and finally bored. It's a movie to put if you want to revenge on a friend for making you feel bad once upon a time.

For all Anime Lovers Resident Evil IV a must watch -well If you don't mind some gross stuff.

Am currently reading Douglas Adam's HHGTTG a very interesting read especially on the bus where it's o.k to burst out laughing. Am fighting off the temptation to watch the movie, which has DJ Honda a.k.a Mos Def, whom I already like, cast as Ford Prefect. I've stolen a few peeks at some bits of the movie and although a 2005 movie, I'd definitely recommend it for anyone who wants a fun movie night.

Winding off, I only have less than 2 days of my internship and I've only learnt about 6 Chinese words, shame I'll be moving on but I so much need a small break from work..every one deserves a vacation once in a while -Right?

Death Note Marathon...

I Love Manga, The passion started with Samurai X, which was shown on the then Sanyu TV station. Kenshi's moves made me appreciate manga more and this has grown with the passing years.

Back to now. The weekend being an idle one for me since no plans to leave the house where made, meant that this was chance to catch up with my favorite manga and death note was an ideal choice.

Death Note is a Japanese manga series. The series is about Light Yagami, an extremely intelligent young man who resents the crime and corruption in the world. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the "Death Note", lying on the ground. The Death Note's instructions claim that if a human's name is written within it, that person shall die. Light is initially skeptical of the notebook's authenticity, but after experimenting with it, Light realizes that the Death Note is real. After meeting with the previous owner of the Death Note, a shinigami named Ryuk, Light seeks to become "the God of the New World" by passing his judgment on those he deems to be evil or who get in his way.

Soon, the number of inexplicable deaths of reported criminals catches the attention of the International Police Organization and a mysterious detective known only as "L" the world's top-rated detective. L has great powers of deduction and insight and quickly learns that the serial killer, dubbed by the public as "Kira" (derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the word "killer"), is located in Japan. L also concludes that Kira can kill people without laying a finger on them.

Written rules

• The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
• This note will not take effect unless the writer has the subject's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
• If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the subject's name, it will happen.
• If the cause of death is not specified, the subject will simply die of a heart attack.
• After writing the cause of death, the details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

Soon, Light realizes that L will be his greatest nemesis, and a game of psychological cat and mouse between the two begins pulling all kinds of wit and trickery.

It took almost the whole weekend to final finish the whole series and in my opinion, I think it's much better than the new prison break and i'd recommend it for any one reading this post.
