When Anything Is Possible - Yohio











I can assure you that this is not just a pretty face. Yohio is a Swedish turned Japanese rocker. Fell in love with  Japanese language and the culture at the age of 10. Since then watch anime and pursue Japan's celebrities and now 16, Yohio is famous among the Japanese rock fans for dressing like a doll and fingers that can work miracle on the electric guitar with voice that doesn't really match that pretty face at all.

Here's the punchline - Yahio is a boy. A 16 year old Swedish boy that dress like a doll, speak perfect Japanese and is now a Japanese rock sensation. Awesome right? Haha. Well it's not something new in the Japanese rock scene if you are familiar with band such as Versailles - which most of the male member in the band is dress up like a doll.

[Movie Review] American Pie: Reunion (2012)

by Daniel Chiam


3/10 Just to complete the series


All the original main cast is once again reunited for what-I-think-is a final showdown for the series, tho the ending might suggest otherwise. Sad to say, not much of hoo haa to cheer about for the reunion. In many ways, the movie does portrait that all of them are already grown up, and they just can't pull off any more teenage humor.

I'm a fan of American Pie, and watching American Reunion is just for me to complete the series. Whether its awesome or just simply not living up to the expectation, it really doesn't matter anymore. 

None of it makes much of an impression, although there are a few nice and surprisingly heartfelt moments around the edges.

[Movie Review] 21 Jump Street (2012)

by Daniel Chiam


5/10 Modern day police comedy


It's nothing like the original 21 Jump Street. Instead of more actions and explosions, it has more comedies for a true follower to handle (which I'm not). It was all good at the beginning but toward the middle of it, the jokes runs dry and thankfully was able to picked up at the end for a more acceptable ending.

The two original actor, Johnny Depp and Peter DeLuise made a short cameo toward the end of the show and Depp is all quirky for it, haha.

The film isn't long, but it runs dry at a certain point, and tries to rescue itself by morphing into an action movie, with only middling results.

Until next time, see you around my friend =)

A Barbie Named Valeria Lukyanova

I wonder how many girls are obsess with their Barbie doll and wish that one day they would be as pretty as Barbie; skinny tall, blue eyes, shining long blonde hair and plastic(?). Well, apparently it's a  dream of the 21 year old Valeria Lukyanova from Russia.

She recently became an internet sensation because of her Barbie-doll-like look. People are questioning whether is it photoshop, plastic surgery or does she really exist, but whatever it may be, it's still came to me as a surprise, haha. 




















So what do you think of Valeria? Pretty, fake or unbelievable?

Until next time, see you around my friend =)

[Movie Review] This Means War (2012)

by Daniel Chiam


4/10 Luke warm comedy and romance


Not the best romantic comedy from Reese Witherspoon. I guess it was just too balance where it was not too funny nor it was too romantic, and it was good enough to finish up a popcorn and soda. Definitely not a memorable film but still watchable and enjoy a few laughter along the way :D


I have never been in a movie screening that had such a divided reaction as This Means War; on one side film critics moaning and groaning from start to finish, on the other a young audience laughing and cheering through every scene.
