DA VINCI CODE

Postphoned posting

I saw this movie the first week of its opening...
*gosh, I really should've posted this ages ago shouldn't I*
Drove by great curiosity of hearing how great
the book is...
*Yes, I haven't read
the book till now...
I know... I know... A great thing I missed here... Workin' on it...
*



I think it's a good
movie...
Ron Howard and Akiva Goldsman have done a good job in delivering it...
Viewers indulge by lots of famous spots in France...
And I think the cast done a good choice with Audrey Tautou to play as Sophie Neveu...
*You might recall her in
Amelie*

But I think the character of Prof Langdon wasn't the right choice to fall to Tom Hanks...
Though maybe it's the Oscar nomination that they're after, still...

Well, overall I still like the
movie and recommend you who have not watched it to see it...
My personal rating would be 3,5!

POSEIDON


I wasn't interrested to watch the movie at first...
Coz I had this image that somehow there's gonna be sea monster take part in it...
But than my cousin, Margie told me that it's like
Titanic thing...
So I thought, Ok, that's one of my fav movie, why not go seeing it...

Well, to me, it's like just seeing MI3...
There's no thrill as I expected it would be...
I mean, sure the effect was good... especially when the giant tidal wave hits the boat...
But I couldn't find any deep story in
the movie...
There's giant wave coming in the middle of nowhere out in the middle of the sea...
While in many review I read, in the old movie back in 1972,
Poseidon Adventure, people were told of the earthquake in Greece that trigered the tsunami...

Then the story of the characters also wasn't told enough...
There's Dylan Johns (
John Lucas) who is a Navy vet that turns into professional gambler...
An ex NY mayor who once a firefighter, Robert Ramseys (
Kurt Russel) that worry too much on his daughter Jennifer (Emmy Rossum)...
But that's about it...


And lots of confusion in the story too...
Why only 9 of them of the entire cruise that struggle to reach the surface to survive...
The scene of the little boy, Connor (
Jimmy Bennet) washed away and separated from the group and how Dylan just so happen could saved the boy's life...
All happen just like that...

And just like most of American movie, the hero stays a hero in someway and the 'naughty character' who once a good man turn out to be the real hero of all...


But I guess since I watched it in a right moment, I kinna enjoy it...
It kinna remind me a bit of
Daylight, still my fav disaster movie of all time...
Where the heroic side of you just floaded you while seeing it...
So, to me it was an OK movie... I rate it 2 (out of 5)...

Meaning of Blue

Got this from a friend... My fav color...

BLUE
Blue is an emotional color.
People with a blue personality stay within themselves and do not trust people very much.
They watch every move others make.
Pale shades of blue show someone who wants everything in order.
Their closet is immaculate.
They know where any piece of clothing is and most likely how long it will take them to get it out of the closet.
As blue moves to the deeper end of color, it becomes more moody and shows it.
With royal blue, one can be on a high or in the deepest of wells.
This color would probably be worn by one who is deciding to parachute because it would mean one needed to make a quick decision.
When looking back on that decision though, the person pulling the ripcord would not be so sure they made the correct decision.
The navy colors are very emotional but also want to hide it.
It's almost as if they are wallowing in the fact that they are emotional.
Some women, with a navy personality, go on cleaning binges, others go shopping.
If your house has too much blue in it, you may find yourself depressed most of the time.
A baby put in a totally blue room cries all the time, but when taken into another room, it is a happy baby.
Blue is a good color but it needs other shades to balance it.
Blue people think with their emotions.
They are either way up or way down; feeling all the emotions they can experience on their way to either.
Crying when they are happy or sad, they are feelers.
Having a need to feel every thing, they leave themselves open to others.
Quickly they take the mood of any person they are around whether they are upset or elated. Feelers don't even know why their emotions run the gambit.
They are products of their environment.
Blue people are no fun to be around when they expect you to be down with them.
Showing signs of co-dependency, they need you to be by their side feeling with them as they do.
