Inception

I've read some good reviews about the movie 'Inception'. However, I still haven't got the chance to watch this movie yet. Here are some of the reviews that I've found and would like to share with you all. Also, I've attached the trailer in case you guys wanna have a peek into this film. Enjoy :) As for me, I'm definitely gonna watch this film. :)

"With its James Bond-on-acid action scenes and puzzle-within-a-maze-within-a-puzzle mind games, Inception is certainly the most daring and original blockbuster of the year, as well as a visual tour de force. If it only had a heart." - Tom Long, Detroit News

"The idea of moviegoing as communal dreaming is a century old. With Inception, viewers have a chance to see that notion get a state-of-the-art update. Take that chance: dream along with Christopher Nolan" - Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine

"All it asks of viewers is that they do something rare: engage the intellect." - James Berardinelli, ReelViews

Heroes Volume 5 : Redemption

Here's some spoiler from Michael Ausiello over at Entertainment Weekly on Heroes Volume 5 : Redemption.

------------------------------ SPOILER ALERT ------------------------------

Question: I need some Heroes scoop, my dear! –Heather

Ausiello: The working title for next fall’s fifth volume is “Redemption.” That’s according to James Kyson Lee (Ando), who told us that production on season 3 wrapped last Friday and the cast is now in the midst of a three-month hiatus. He also called this Monday’s Bryan Fuller-penned episode a “monster” hour of TV. “Ando learns a new trick with his mojo,” Lee revealed. “He will not just be a supercharger anymore. He will be something more from that point on. He is becoming a legitimate superhero this season. which is really fun for me to go from powerless sidekick to hero."

Now we've Boyle, Jafargholi..Lets see who comin' up next ..

Over the weekend, while Boyle was setting up chats with "Oprah," CNN and every other news outlet that could get her "gobsmacked" reaction to being viewed more than 50 million times on YouTube, another Britain's Got Talent singer was already waiting in the wings.

Shaheen Jafargholi, a 12 year-old from Swansea, appeared on the show on Saturday and initially bombed with judge Simon Cowell, who made him stop singing his Amy Winehouse version of the "Valerie" after just one verse. Here's the video of Shaheen singing during BGT 2009 episode 2.


When the preternaturally poised Jafargholi rebooted with the second song, Who's Lovin' by Michael jackson, the audience went nuts. At the end of the song, all judges gave the boy standind ovations - even Cowell too. Reaaly a great moment!

"This is how one song can change your life. And this may be the start of something special for you young man." Cowell said before winking at the boy. And Holden said he passed her goosebumps test just as Paul Potts and George Sampson did. Lets just hope she's right..

p/s: I've been watching the video over and over again. The boy has really good voice and with both Cowell n him, OMG they are really cute! :P

We Will Not Go Down - Michael Heart

A blinding flash of white light

Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they're dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who's wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Forever Paletine - Sami Yusuf

Mother don’t cry for me I am to win i must
God almighty is my witness and trust
Palestine, Forever Palestine

Children being killed for throwing stones in the sky
They say to their parents don’t worry, God is on our side
Palestine, Forever Palestine

Mother don’t worry when they come for us at night
Surely they’ll be sorry when God puts them right
Tell me why they’re doing what was done to them
Don’t they know that God is with the oppressed and needy
Perished were the nations that ruled through tyranny
Palestine, Forever Palestine

Children of Palestine are fighting for their lives
They say to their parents we know that Palestine is our right
They to say to their parents we’ll fight for what is right
They say not to worry God is on our side
They say we’ll die for Palestine
Palestine, Forever Palestine
