[Movie Review] The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)

by Daniel Chiam 

5/10 A reboot covered with emotions

The Spider-Man reboot has nothing much new to put on the table aside from the amazing graphic and cinematography. Also the two appealing leads - Garfield and Stone really nailed their role in the movie creating a much more original character if compared to the previous one. Other than that, it is pretty much a standard superhero movie. 

Tho I must say this Spider-Man movie brings out much of the human emotions if compared to the previous ones.  It is much more engaging to the audience emotionally rather than excited about the actions that Spidey always delivered.

All this time I thought that the tagline 'great power, comes great responsibility' is a significant turning point in Spider-Man episodes, but it was not mentioned at all in this movie and I really felt something was missing.

By the way, I think Stan Lee's appearance in this movie is the coolest yet among all his cameos in Marvel movies.   

Overall, The Amazing Spider-Man is a good film, but nothing about it even hints at greatness.

-Jay Hutchinson

Webb doesn't elevate the reboot as much as keep its head above water, while pedaling furiously below the surface. He proves himself skilled at technically sophisticated multiplex fare without losing track of the narrative threads.

WeChat & Avast! Launch Event

The event was organized by APAC Venture Sdn. Bhd. at Zouk KL on the 20th June 2012, to launch AVAST newly improved version 7 and also the launch of it's social app WeChat in Malaysia. More than 200 bloggers, local celebrities, media members and partners showed up for the event.

The main highlight for the night would be the first hand experience of the WeChat application. It works similarly like the Whatsapp application and the obvious difference that WeChat offered is the 'Shake' function. You'll be able to 'Shake' your device and connects with other WeChat users both locally and internationally.

My friends and I agree that the 'Shake' function makes you feel like you are going for match making. Shake your device and wait to see who showed up on your screen. After viewing the person's profile and picture, then you'll be able to decide whether you wanted to add them in your friends' list or not.

Since WeChat is orginally from China and was just newly launched in Malaysia, almost all the user that you could find is mainly from China and only a handful are from Malaysia. Other than that, WeChat still works great as a normal messenger for text messaging, hold-to-talk voice messaging, photo/video sharing, location sharing and contact information exchange.

Thank you so much APAC Venture Sdn. Bhd. for inviting me for the event!

AVAST antivirus and Sensonic optical mouse as a door gift :D

Dear Miss Earth Sabah, Xandria Ban

Dear Miss Xandria,

I know I would sound like a creep if I said I fell for you ever since I first lay my eyes on your picture in the Miss Earth Sabah 2012's Facebook page, but that's not entirely the truth. It was my friend Tom from Rungitom.com that first introduced me to you, and recently he even showed me the pictures that he took of you in the East Meets West event. I was mesmerized and at the same time envy of Tom's job.

It was a heated conversation in the Cute Bloggers Gathering group page. Tom was trying to promote the other contestants but I know my heart has already being occupied by you and only you alone. Unlike Arms who initially have a crush on you too, but after being introduce to some of the contestants, his heart quickly changed like an ice-cream melts under the hot sun.

Thus the conversation got out of control and the next thing I realized is that my head was put on the line.

Tom will attempt to take a solo pictures with each of the Miss Earth Sabah 2012's contestant during the Green Charity Zumba Party this 8th of June, 630pm at Marina Club, Sutera Harbour Resort. Everyone will be wearing green that day since it was the given theme, and if Tom managed to accomplished his mission, I will have to go bald after that and Wyne as the unofficial judge will make sure of that. 

Xandria, if you think going bald will be able to bring sexy back, then please do encourage your friends to take pictures with Tom (especially Joanna Marie Faurillo, Tom has a crush on her), but if you prefer to have me with my hair on, then please with all your might reject the request from Tom to take picture together.

Thank you Xandria for your time. I wish you all the best in the competition and hopefully the pictures I took from Rungitom's collection and shared below will be enough to buy you a few votes and win. I'll see you when I see you. Enjoy Zumba-ing!
