Connected



It seems like there is not much activity going on here but I can assure you guys that I am pretty much alive, unlike the impression given by the number of posts, which are few & far in between. Watched a couple of movies lately courtesy of HSBC's Golden Village prepaid card promotions. SGD$75 for a card which entitles you to 10 tickets during all days & all sessions. It is most worthwhile to use it during the weekends & public holidays when tickets cost SGD$10 each. If I want to watch a movie, I would do so on Tuesday when they cost GV Club members SGD$6.50.



Anyway more on the movie. It is an adaption of another movie Cellular which was released in 2004. I though only Singapore TV program people (what exactly do you call them???) have no creativity or are bounded by so much red tape & censorship B.S. that we have no choice but to copy what other people have already successfully done. It turns out that our Hong Kong movie directors & scriptwriters are following the same trend too. They copied this movie & just used mostly Asian actors 7 the dialogue was mostly in mandarin. Okie, to be fair, the Ang Mohs have done the same thing too with Shuttle (there are Thai & English versions of the movie).


I found the action a little too slow for my liking & it was not really worth watching on a weekend. Maybe on a Tueday perhaps, when ticket prices are among the cheapest available. Maybe I would let Yuri explain more about the movie as she did not agree with the good reviews given by her PDFs (pig / dog friends).
