Harold and Kumar Escapes from Randomness

When I watched the first Harold and Kumar, I thought the film was hilarious. Two Asian dudes that goes on a crazy adventure just to get themselves some burgers. Memorable scenes were, Freakshow, Bobby Lee as the student, EEXXXTRRREEEEMMME, the Black guy in jail scenes and beating the Bag of Weed wife.

Unlike the first film, I don't think there were such memorable or...Read more

Clive Owen or Ironman

Tonight, I had the chance to either go to the Apple Soho store presenting Clive Owen or to an Advance screening of Ironman at the Regal Stadium on 42nd St. Both free events and both most likely will draw a crowd.

What did I choose?

Seeing a good actor live in person than some CGI dude flying around of course. In fact, I'd prefer to go to this C...Read more

Fellowship of the Staff

Jet Li and Jackie Chan's first collaboration is hopefully not their last as this film which follows the classic narrative tale of a child or pre adult's journey into a mystical fantasy world. Filled with people trying to hunt him down for the item in which he possess.

Michael Angarano surprisingly brings a truthful character out of Jason who loves watching Hong Kong action films. It is these classic Hong Kong films from 70s to present, which the general international market has not really been exposed to that the movie...Read more

Spring in New York

It's getting pretty warm in New York now...

In Sydney temperature system, the week's average temperature is 22C or so... it's going to be 25C on Friday!

When Spring comes, it also brings good weather. It also has brang blooming into the lives of flora.

Walking down the streets of NY and passing all the various gardens and mini parks, flowers paint the city with yellow and pink.

Think I will walk around with a camera tomorrow through central park.

Hhhmmm.. I need a pair of shorts.

ARGGHH!! APPLE!!!

I have been using Final Cut Pro since version 4.

It was fine. We were taught to export the finished product as a .mov file, then drag it into either iDVD or DVD Studio Pro so it would get made into a DVD.

Later on, once I got to the working environment, I was told to export it as an MPEG2, or a .m2v file. Adobe Premiere Pro does this with a Matrox graphics card. Final Cut Pro 4/4.5 had an MPEG2 option. The .m2v file would be a movie file, whereas an ...Read more
