Review Talladega Night: Shaking Night



NASCAR stock car racing sensation Ricky Bobby is a national hero because he "win at all costs" approach. He and his loyal racing partner, friend Cal Naughton Jr., a fear duo - "Shake and Bake" by their fans for their ability to finish so many races in the # 1 and # 2 positions, with Cal always in second place. When the flamboyant French Formula One driver Jean Girard challenges "Shake" and "Bake" for the supremacy of NASCAR, Ricky Bobby must face his own demons and fight Girard for the right to be known as the top racing driver (www.imdb.com).

Although many of the jokes are easy laughs (with Ferrell running around shirtless is a guaranteed guffaw-fest), the script (co-written by Farrell and Adam McKay) is nuanced and intelligent, lending its characters much more sympathy and complexity than dumber comedy his will to do so. And every performer - Ferrell to Amy Adams (as Susan, Bobby's fawning assistant) - tackles his or her part with joy and sweets. A knee weaker Slim and savvy, TALLADEGA NIGHTS ensures Ferrell's position as one of comedy's shining talent. Very nice movie for your saturday night.

Platypus: Weird Animal

cute_female_platypusPlatypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus), also called duckbill, is a small amphibious Australian mammal noted for its odd combination of primitive features and special adaptations, especially the flat, almost comical bill that early observers thought was that of a duck sewn onto the body of a mammal. Adding to its distinctive appearance are conspicuous white patches of fur under the eyes. The fur on the rest of the body is dark to light brown above, with lighter fur on the underside.

The strange appearance of this egg-laying, venomous, beaked duck, tail beaver, otter-footed mammals baffled naturalists Europe at their first meeting, with some arguing develop a fraud. It is one of the few venomous mammals, men Platypus has a spur on the back foot which offers a poison capable of causing pain to humans. The unique characteristics of Platypus make an important topic in the study of evolutionary biology and recognizable and iconic symbol of Australia.

Sony Ericsson K550i: Good Camera Phone on Budget


The Sony Ericsson K550 is a mid range mobile phone. Announced on February 6 2007, it was the successor of the K510 model and integrates a 2 megapixel CMOS camera sensor with two-LED photolight and an active lens cover for the camera lens protection and easy camera activation when taking pictures from the phone (en.wikipedia.org).

Main features:

  • Estimated CPU class: ARM9 201MHz
  • 2 MegaPixel (1632 x 1224 pixels) Camera with Autofocus, 2 LED Photolight, active lens cover
  • 2.25x Digital Zoom

  • SAR 1.25 W/kg (10g)
Well, this is not the best cameraphone available. In fact, this is a mid-end but with sufficient features especially for blogging activity. With fair quality of camera resolution and simple shortcut to Blogger.com, you can take a picture of your precious moment anywhere and send it to your blog. All in a mid-end cameraphone. It's a good news for anyone with tight budget. Just remember, the quality of the picture can not be compared with its big brother, K800 and K850. I use this cameraphone for taking all pictures in this blog (except some picture from other sites).

10000 BC: a Cold World, a Cold Movie

"A prehistoric epic that follows a young mammoth hunter named D'Leh's journey through uncharted territory to secure the future of his tribe. When a band of mysterious horse-riding warlords raid the Yaghal camp and kidnaps his heart's desire - the beautiful Evolet along with many others, D'Leh is forced to lead a small group of hunters south to pursue the warlords to the end of the world to save her. Driven by destiny, the unlikely band of warriors must battle saber-toothed cats and terror birds in the Levant." (www.imdb.com)

The poster of this movie mentioned: from the director of "Independence Day and the Day After Tomorrow". And I think, this time the director wants a big movie with massive story. However, the story is rather cliche with a very straight story: a weak hero with several improvement after years against a great evil, and he finally won the battle, and he won the lady, and they live hapilly ever after. The motive we see in every classic kungfu movie. Not very right in every detail of the history, but superb visual effect, gorgeus filming locations, and cute Evolet (although not very impressive acting). It's Stargate type movie, you don't need to be very serious about the history. Nice movie to go with your teenage boys. But I still feel this is a cold movie.
