Thirst

Thirst or "Bakjwi" in Korean is a slick vampire flick i recently had the pleasure of watching. This movie came from the director of Oldboy, Chan-Wook Park, and has the same level of quality though they are different in plot or style. FOr those who are not familiar with Park's work, his films are brutal, poetic, tragic, and artistic, with splashes of very grim humor. I loved the plot which i found to be strange with lots of twists and turns and takes a big swipe at the vampire clichés. I d...

Wenger Makes A Case For Defence

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed he intends to sign a defender this summer after he admitted his side's performances at the back this year have been "average".

Failure in both of the domestic cup competitions and a Champions League exit to Barcelona this year means Arsenal have now gone five seasons without winning a trophy. Wenger has...

Casa de Areia (The Hosue Of Sand)

My friend, who is studying film and animation, recommended me this Brazillian movie, Casa de Areia, when we were talking about happiness. This film is a slow-starter but patient viewers will be rewarded with something quite magical and probably memorable. This is a stunning film, visually and emotionally. Although rooted in a forsaken sandy wasteland, the film is a metaphor for how circumstance locates us and how we can or cannot get out of the place in which we find ourselves. It is a masterpie...

Step-sister Janie Hendrix told the Los Angeles Times to expect the Hendrix-branded game by the end of the year, the perfect trump over Guitar Hero. Hendrix is arguably the Zeus of guitar gods, though MTV-owned Harmonix tamped down the rumor a bit. "While we have not made any official announcements regarding Jimi Hendrix and Rock Band, we are excited to say that we are in discussions ...

John Mayer called ‘kind, caring and compassionate’

John Mayer has been branded "kind, caring and compassionate" by a children's charity. The 'Gravity' singer has come under fire over a recent interview he gave - in which he described sleeping with ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson as like "a drug" and used the word "n****r" - but has now been defended by The Isaac Foundation, which raises money for children with a rare enzyme deficiency known as MPS VI. On the official blog, the organisation wrote: "I don't care what Playboy magazine writes ab...

“Death Note”

I recently knew about this Japanese manga series called "Death Note", actually heard about it from a friend who was a big fan of the series. He talked me into watching it and grew interest in me.

The synopsis: Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects-and he's bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he fin...
