The Ruins
Another trash horror movie, nothing really special, no breakthough, if comparing with SAW or the Hostel.
88 Minutes
This is a fair movie to watch. Still very Hollywood... cliche screenplay, chiche thriller, no surprised ending, but still the most interesting thing to watch how Al Pacino using his psychiatrist to find out who's the murderer and the one who set him up. So, is a psychiatrist's testimony objective and sufficient enough to charge someone into guilty? Any profession can tell?
The make up makes Alicia Witt so different...
Prom Night
This is the 13th version of Scream, how many screams upcoming, who's going to scream, or scream to stop rolling more trash movies like that. This one is even worse than Scream, not even a moment to guess who's the killer.
The Forbidden Kingdom / 功夫之王
A trash cross over of Jet Li & Jackie Chan, two old men playing the same thing 20 years ago, I respect their endeavor to KungFu though. But why the delivery of staff to Monkey King is responsible by a foreign kid, won't this be too American shitty dream? Liu Yifei looks gorgeous but her outlook at the last scene is 60's. Anyway, not recommend to watch it.
聖經地理的學後感
1.
聖經的話語可以由多角度去探討理解，從而進一步了解神的默示。除了歷史、人文、作者的中心思想、文學結構等，還可以從地理的分析去了解經文的歷史產生背景、推敲作者的原意出發點，深入了解可以幫助解答研經時所產生的為什麼。聖經反映歷史，亦反映地理風貌。
2.
所謂聖經地理，基本上是指巴勒斯坦這地方，亦即現在以色列國所在地。這地雖小，卻影響整個世界的歷史。因這地是神應許賜給亞伯拉罕的地方，亦是摩西領了兩佰多萬以色列人離開埃及，要進入的迦南美地。另外，也是救主耶穌降生之地。影響人類深遠的基督教，它整個宣道工作也從這裡開始。
3.
研讀聖經可以極其科學。屬於地理科所教導的自然地理學及人文地理學的理論及發現均可以用作研究聖經。聖經誠然是一本地理教科書。
4.
聖經真實可信。聖經並不是神話，而是真實地紀錄了神的創造、人的敗壞、神的計劃、巴勒斯坦地的歷史、耶穌的救贖、神國的再臨以及末世的預警。而這些均可以從歷史地理的遺跡及學說中加以引證
5.
聖經所發生及記敘的事件，大至四王與五王之戰，小至撤種的比喻，均有其背後的地理因素可以解釋。
6.
研究聖經可以十分有趣，不單是理解原文或研究作者心情或寫作結構，而是可以從當時地理環境、政治結構、社會風貌、人民生活去發掘經文的內含意思。
7.
神選擇巴勒斯坦地為聖經歷史的舞台有其獨特地理意義：巴勒斯坦剛好是歐、亞、非三大洲連接點，有人把它稱為三大洲的橋樑，它亦曾被三大洲的帝國統治過。直至目前，巴勒斯坦仍是國際注意的中心，仍是東西、南北政治勢力短兵相接之地。
8.
神的創造不單只是頭六天，其實在人類的歷史文明當中，神仍舊不斷地在創造，這可以反映在所有聖經的事件中，均有其內在價值及角色，包括歷史的進展，地理的變遷，人在當中雖然有回應，人與神的對話動作雖然是雙向的，但神一直扮演導演的角色。一切都是神的計劃，「蒼海桑田」皆有因由。

Going by the Book / 바르게 살자
Oh, the move is extremely creative!!!!!!! The idea is simple: a town has two many robberies, then the police chief has initiated an idea to imitate a robbery to test the efficiency of police force. A cop with ironic principles is asked to rob a bank... he's too devoted into the role and really rob the bank professionally and basically K.O the entire police force completely...
Life is like: if you're too focus on your work but don't know how to kiss your boss or other bosses' ass, you're set to be trapped, what a mock of the real world; but then the movie mocks the real world, I like it.
The last scene at the dead end is worthy of an big applause
Why shouldn't naive and profession win?
Assembly / 集結号
It's an okay movie. Some of the battle scenes reflected the progressive execution of Chinese movie industry. From my eye sight, the movie is telling the stupidness of WAR, people sacrificed their life to kill other people, in return, they have nothing, the country they died for abandoned their fame once the focus is on economy, what a cruel truth!
Why fight?
Enchanted / 魔法奇緣
- The movie is surprisingly gd and funny...
- I like the way the movie is telling what sells in fairy tale not necessary applicable in the real world, and mostly are broken hearts in the world and not a happy ending, but if you insist, you can still find your true love
- Question: shall we tell fairy tale/true story to kids? I am obviously a victim from the fairy tales...

The Creation by Franz Joseph Haydn / 海頓-創世記
Have listened to The Creation performed by Hong Kong Oratorio Society, the lyric is beautiful, just the music idiot like me don't know how to appreciate it. the Soprano Nancy Yuen was amazing, but tenor and Baritone were so so...
Artists and talented people in the old ages used their talents to praise and glorify God's works, how about today?
À l'intérieur / Inside / 夜半女敲門- 32nd Film Fest
When's the last time I had such a great horror/violet movie, I recalled The Ring & Kill Bill. Anyway, the movie is extremely violet, bloody, cartoon, funny (yes indeed) and challenging your eyeball limit. It's a mix of Residential Evil & The Hostel. Basically it can be made as a game. The highlight is the actress couldn't breath with blood stuck within her throat, she used scissors to stick into her neck to release the blood, then she used adhesive tap to prevent the blood from spraying out. A must collect movie la.
And by the way, can't imagine is a French movie!

Shall We Kiss? / 吻下來，豁出去 - 32灸nd HK Film Fest
Friendship VS Love!
I still remember I used like a French movie called Kiss, that a guy and a gal were gd friends, they're fond of each other, but they didn't kiss becoz they enjoy the Pareto love relationship and they believed it's going to ruin the relationship if they started kissing each other.
For this movie, Shall We Kiss, it's not the same melody but with the same taste. A guy met a woman randomly, they fonded of each other, but they didn't dare to kiss becoz they're fear of the uncontrollable consequence. Then the woman started to tell a story about her friend's romantic but tragic experience...
The movie was so light, humorous and romantic. I like the filming, the art direction, the gestures and the scripts. It's a french movie but it's surprisingly not in slow pace, it's in gd momentum and so fresh to watch. I love so much the actor of the told story in the movie, he called for prostitute to relieve his physical lust, but then he didn't do that becoz the prostitute was reluctant to kiss him - he insists kiss is a must element in love making, he's cute.
Quoted from Internet: 不理如何，由37歲的年輕導演Emmanuel
Mouret執導、編寫加上親自演出的這套愛情小品，籠統地說其實是一個說給天下間所有已有伴侶的人的一個警世寓言，這寓言簡單得有如麥太說給麥兜的故
事，「有一日，有個小朋友，佢講大話。第二日，佢死左」，大概，這個愛情寓言，也可以這樣落筆「有一日，一對各有伴侶的人，因為偷吻，戀上了。但是因為本
身已有伴侶，所以死了。」
當然，這不是全部，最後應該還要加上一句「但是，死了後，又可能會帶來意想不到的幸運」，這就是令整個故事變得有趣荒謬的地方。
So the challenge is: do you dare to kiss your gd friend (in opposite sex)? Have you ever thought of it? I did, and now she's my wife!!! Try to cross this borderline, only and if only, if you're a single...
