And it's still HOT!!

Ah, it's Thursday! The weather may be toasty but it is the day when I have the least amount of classes, and today particularly became a better day when my morning class was canceled and the day's class started at 1p.m. Huhu.. Anyways, had a nice home-movie session just now, thanks to Jo as she passed me the highly anticipated movie to me conveniently via her thumbdrive. And behold what kept me waiting for almost a year..

Bleach the Movie: The DiamondDust Rebellion, Another Hyōrinmaru (劇場版BLEACH The DiamondDust Rebellion もう一つの氷輪丸 Gekijōban Burīchi Za Daiyamondo Dasuto Reberion Mō Hitotsu no Hyōrinmaru)

Yes, it's finally subbed! And it was definitely worth the wait since I rate the movie to be as good as Memories of Nobody, maybe even better. But I guess even though this movie lacks new characters, it is still equally good compared to the first movie due to it's interesting new plot in the Bleach storyline. Here's more pics of what you can expect.. (SPOILERS ALERT!)


The Gotei 13 (護廷十三隊 goteijūsantai) and Ichigo unites to stop chaos once again! (yes, cheesy indeed.. =P)

Oh, oh! New arrancars? Vaizards? Hm..

Snippets of the movie, which makes a good wallpaper! =D

And so, after the "drought of good movies" that I had faced for months (which cost me a lot since I had been watching lots of rubbish in the cinemas lately), this movies just made my day, lulz..

Nicely drawn characters, lush color, careful plots and action-packed-not-too-predictable climax! Really, what else can you ask for.. But of course I may be judging from a Bleach fan's point of view, still it doesn't mean I rate all of Bleach's production to be good. For instance, Memories in the Rain, despite being only an OVA, was crappy and really sucked big time in my honest opinion as it was so draggy and involved too much flashbacks. The Sealed Sword Frenzy was okay I guess, so.. yea overall I'm not being biased just because it's a Bleach movie =)

As a bonus, here's what I came across as I googled for the pictures above..


A little creativity and imagination gives you a good depiction of what happens if Ichigo turns evil and Bleach world faces total destruction ^^

Last but not least, here's another great news as the trailer for the next Bleach movie is out! Though it's not much but at least we can expect something coming our way!



Bleach the Movie: Fade to Black (coming soon!)

Woots, I believe that's enough Bleach for me at the moment. Will try to update on any info on it that I may stumble upon as I surf around.

Apparently, the only thing that is spoiling my mood now is the crazy weather. It's really hot even at night! Come on, the sun is not even UP! Sigh, either that or the rain pours as if the whole town's going to be flooded! @@

Oh well, what can an insignificant human like me do? Ponder, I shall.. Till then, KeLv signs off again~

When a Movie Deserves a Big "Wtf.."

Today is one of the days when I woke up ultra-early in the morning, thanks to my dear gastric problem which gave me the ache enough to drive me crazy. Ah well, now that it has settled down I wish it would stay that way, huhu..

Anyways, me and my mates caught a movie today as we went out shopping since it's a lovely holiday due to the National Day (which somehow made no impact at all) falling on the weekend. We were anticipating the movie since it sounded so cool and I managed to get really good seats from the convenient reservation service offered by TGV =)

When I was checking out the movie online, I came across it's uber-cool site, http://www.babylonadmovie.com/ Seriously, do check it out! Before I continue, here's what we watched..


Man, even the poster is so cool!

Ain't it all fine and dandy? Well that's part of the bad things about this movie. It gives you so much expectation that when it turned out bad, it really feels that your rm10 spent on this money just burned away!

Well, yea here we have stars like..

Vin Diesel as the main!

Michelle Yeoh! (yea, this is her years ago =P)

Mélanie Thierry! (someone I'm not familiar with, but she really fits her role)

So you see, everything seems so nice but the storyline just screws up everything. In the movie, what we understand is there's a lot of action and..

In the near future, Toorop (Vin Diesel) is a mercenary who takes the job of escorting a woman named Aurora from Central Asia to New York. While he thinks this is just an ordinary mission, he gradually finds out that his guest is carrying twins that have the potential to become the next Messiahs — and everybody wants to get their hands on them. - Wikipedia

But as we reach the conclusion of the show, NOTHING makes any sense because the movie doesn't give you any answers. Just more and more questions popping up in your head after you watch the movie. In a nutshell, the movie's just a bunch of stunts, action and thrill all mixed up like "rojak" without any proper meaning. Like empty talk or junk food!
Haiz, I should have listened to my brother's for once that the movie sucks. I guess it's a lesson learned then. My advice: avoid watching this movie unless you're desperately bored and it's free!

So much for a review, I can't say no more since I'm just too dissapointed T.T
This is KeLv signing off again~
