#331-3rd-gen iPod shuffle 4GB review.

I bought the new iPod shuffle on Friday and used it for a little while, then I returned it yesterday. I thought I would like it in the first place, but it turned out that I didn't really like it. Here's a short review of the device.

Pros:
-Box has a nice cute design.
-The size is pretty small, considering there's 4GB in the device.
-VoiceOver is pretty cool.
-The USB cable is pretty interesting.

Cons:
-No play/pause, volume control, forward/previous buttons on the device itself, it's all the earphones.
-You can only use the earphones provided in the box.
-It's so tiny, you tend to lose it in the long run.
-The shiny metal back may scratch easily.

My final verdict:
I'd give it a 5/10.


When I first got it at the store.

The box is the size of my palm!

That's the shuffle.

It's roughly the size of my finger.

#254-Movie Outing, Quantum of Solace

Well, another year, another Bond movie, this is actually the 22nd Official Bond movie since the whole movie franchise started in 1962! This time, it is called Quantum of Solace and I must say, I kind of prefered Casino Royale better. Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Jeffery Wright, and Giancarlo Giannini reprises their roles as James Bond, M, Felix Leiter and Rene Mathis respectively. The Bond girls this time are, Olga Kurylenko as Camille Montes, and Gemma Arterton as Strawberry Fields. This Bond movie's main villian is Dominic Greene who is played by Mathieu Amalric.

There are quite a number of cars appearing in the show such as Bond's Aston Martin DBS which actually only has a small part in this film, which is at the beginning when the car chase happened. Also involved in the car chase was an Alfa Romeo 159. Sweet looking car I must say! The new 2nd-generation Ford Ka also made it's on-screen debut driven by the main Bond girl, Camille Montes. There is also the Range Rover Sport, which was originally driven by Miss Fields and later by James Bond. In Austria, Bond drives a Volvo S40. There is also a Daimler Double Six and Ford Edge used by the villian, Dominic Greene.

I watched this show 2 Fridays ago, which is the Friday after the last SPM paper for us on Thursday.

This is the trailer.

#210-P.S. I Love You



I have just finished watching the movie P.S. I Love You on the DVD that I bought last Friday. The video above is the trailer for the movie that I found on YouTube. I must say, this is a pretty good movie on my standards. It stars Gerard Butler as Gerry Kennedy, Hilary Swank as Holly Kennedy, Lisa Kudrow as Denise Hennessey, Gina Gershon as Sharon McCarthy, Kathy Bates as Patricia Reilly, and Harry Connick Jr. as Daniel Connelly. I give it a 9/10 for the whole show. Some may find it funny at times and also touching at other times in the show. Below are some still shots from the movie.

#206-Movie Outing, Money No Enough 2



The above trailer is the movie that I just watched yesterday. Another one of Jack Neo's great efforts. It's definitely a good laugh for some parts and touching at some others. It stars Jack Neo himself as Yang Bao Qiang, Mark Lee as Yang Bao Huang, Henry Thia as Yang Bao Hui, Malaysian actress Lai Ming as the Mother, Lin Ru Ping as Bao Hui's wife, Zhu Ling Ling as Bao Qiang's wife, Vivian Lai as Bao Huang's wife and John Cheng as Chen Guan Sai. I give it a 8.5/10.

#104-Forgetting Sarah Marshall

I just finished watching this movie not too long ago, and quite frankly I find it pretty good. 8.7/10 for me. It stars Jason Segel, Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Russell Brand among other stars in the show. OHMGG, Mila Kunis is so hot in the movie and not to mention Kristen Bell too! Some peeps might remember Kristen Bell from Veronica Mars, Heroes and in Gossip Girl as the titular caracter a.k.a the show's narrator. Mila Kunis is most probably famous for Meg Griffin in the Family Guy series and also for being Macaulay Culkin's girlfriend. Anyways, I'm now sooooo a fan of both Mila and Kristen. Oh and yea, if you get the uncensored version of the show, you are bound to see some full frontal nudity by Jason Segel. It's apparently because the producer, Judd Apatow wants to have a 'penis' in every of shows since the day he made his announcement.

Mila Kunis, I think she has a blend of Vanessa Hudgens and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, don't you?

Kristen Bell.

Both of them together.
