Signing Off, for a while..

Ok, the examination timetables has been released and I was then hit with the face of reality that there isn't much time left to study/catch up.

In reaction, this will be my last post till 24th June which is the day of my last exam.
'yeh I'm going to post right after the exam.. maybe...'
'if I'm posting from now till 24th June, it means I'm procrastinating'


But before I go, here are some things I was going to post over the next few days

Movie: Star Trek

Over the past month, I've been anticipating Star Trek, Terminator Salvation, Transformers: ROTF and Where the Wild Things Are. No I have not seen it yet nor am I a Star Trek fanboy but watching the trailers makes me very hyped about the movie because it looks like such a 'good epic thriller movie'. I'll be seeing it soon but I won't review it not because I'll be on hiatus but I don't feel like reviewing new release movies. DragonBall was an acception because it was such a fail.

TV: Beautiful Cooking 2

Hong Kong's TVB has aired the second season to the sucessful reality-ish show Beautiful Cooking. Think Iron Chef with Cooking Mama and Dancing with the Star. Its a family friendly comedy show where female celebrities cook meals for a round of judges and two-thirds of the time the cooking is just so bad its funny.
Got to point this out.. The judges have like maid helpers through the show but they changed the girls this season with like super models which I didn't like, season one they were cutie girls, now they're just.. well.. lady's 'yeh I notice these things... its healthy'

Slice Of Life: Australian Dance Festival

ADF is a brand new festival starting this year and hopefully for many more years to come where you can meet and gather together with many dancers across Australia.
There's going to be 2 days of dance workshop where you can attend and try out the various of styles offered.
There will be exhibits from dance schools, dance retailers and services which support dancers.
Also there's going to be 5 shows to watch over the 3 days with 'It Takes Two' I assume focusing on paired dancing, 'All Things Contemporary' which consists of mainstream dance styles from Hip Hop to Contemporary and 'A Celebration of Cultures' which I think is like the asian/indian/brazilian dances.
The other two shows are on saturday and sunday afternoon with under 16 year olds.

The tickets seems abit confusing at least to me.. so its..
$35-45 for tickets to the shows individually
$200 for a day pass to go to the workshop and both shows
$275 for a full pass which is day pass but both days
'yeh the math doesn't add up'
'so you can't go to the workshop unless you get the day/full pass'
'There's also an after party each night so hhmm, whats a party with dancers going to be like.. dance off's??'


I have exams on the 15th and 16th June so I won't be able to attend all three days
I am performing in the dance festival in the 'All Things Contemporary' so I got a Performer Pass which is basically Full Pass with extra goodies. Because of that, I am only going on Saturday.

So till next time, peace out

Walt Disney Picture's The Princess and the Frog

After 3 so-so CGI movies over the past 5 years, Disney decided to take another chance with 2D animation. It's obvious the selling point to this film is because it's attempting to re-live the Disney Classic's but from looking at the first trailer, I have my doubts.

Disney discontinued 2D animation after 3 movies that bombed at the box office, namely Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), Treasure Planet (2002), Home on the Range (2004).
There is only one real explaination for why these movies bombed/sucked... the story/writing. Respectively to the 3 movies, uninteresting, makes little sense and stupid.

After that, they decided 3D CGI movies were making money, like Shrek, Ice Age and Pixar movies. They then produced Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons and Bolt. I didn't exactly watch these movies, but from what I've heard, only Bolt is reasonable.

The teaser and trailer for Princess and Frog, showed alot of "ha" jokes and tells me the story might be compromised for more laughs. I hope it won't fail.
