Lone Survivor : Don’t watch after heavy meal
Thanks to nuffnang for providing me an early movie screening of Lone Survivor. It was pretty last minute to reach to the cinema and grab a pair of tickets.
Lone survivor tells a true story about a team of navy seal trying to face all odds on a covert ops when bad things happen through decision making. This pretty much proves that all humans tend to make mistakes and face consequences as a results.
Movie starts with Mr. Mark Wahlberg trying to be resuscitate back to life, while transitioning to 3 days before into a breathtaking scenery somewhere in Afghanistan, and with other pretty cool stills of the environment makes you feel so clam… yea clam before the storm…..
For the first 1 hour in the show, it was more of setting the plot (drama talking) and getting a rough idea of each characters in the movie. Right at the one hour mark, things get bloody… very bloody and from here onward, it gets much uglier.
Pretty much some parts was literally nerve wrecking moments, which made me hold on to my cinema seat. Trying to put one selves in their shoe really make me have a full immersion on the whole movie affect on a person being a soldier.
There is some very much touching scene during the end of the movie which I thought was pretty much the best ever thing that could every happen. Reflect on a saying where “an enemy of my enemy is my friend” . Within the controlled boundaries of the vicious Taliban, there would still be people opposing them.
You get a bang for your bucks, with a decent drama build up , tension between inter dispute among the army ranks, as well as bad decision making and some light jokes. However I must clearly said that Mark Wahlberg IMHO did not gave his best into his character abiding from his other 3 fellow supporting characters which really made the movie shine and add significant value towards it.
It’s a up to par movie like Black Hawk Down and i would definitely give it a 8/10. So far a sweet movie for the month of January 2014
p/s: a big hoo ha to all those servicing in the Army and my deepest condolence to those brave men that fought for honor! R.I.P brothers

2013?
After many many moons of not updating my blog, I’ve came to a conclusion at the brink of closing it down, or leaving it to rot…
but turn of events, I should start picking it up back where I’ve left off. Now, now let’s not get so mushy mushy and personal. It’s a blog for what I feel like sharing the stuff I take interest on and what I feel for the sake of sharing it… wait did I said it twice? oh well as long its not too personal…Who know’s things might get ugly, very ugly..
Quite recently I’ve been doing 1/4, 1/2 marathons, yea yea I know, skinny boy is doing more skinny things…. but hey do you know I haz the beer belly!! even on my mis-adventures of running, that stubborn fat really keeps on hugging to my dearest ABS.
Moving along, Been watching lot’s of movies recently but just plain lazy on review most of em. (just caught Frozen, Police Story 2013 and Secret Life of Walter Mitty) might as well blog about that in the weeks to come.
Had some ups and down in my personal life, didn’t manage to get to where I wanted it to be but still making effort in working things out. (come on, everyone does have their ups and down.)
Recently daily for a past 2-3 months spending devoted time of mere 1 hour on some mild exercise. Probably I shall blog about that too after some result shown (fingers crossed). Plus some fundamental I’ve been staying faithfully.
Getting into mobile gaming, testing a few freemium games and also stringing my MMO cravings on Final Fantasy XIV.
All in all , for this year , the most precious thing that I’ve ever experienced is and without any regrets but a lesson to be is, “could it be your partner, a friend, pet bro or sis, they will eventually fail you. But never forget the closet thing is right under our nose which is, family. Thanks Mom for always been there for me, through thin or thick, sweet or sour, she is my dearest breath giver to my life over this mere 31 years. Really thank you form the bottom of my heart. No words can utterly explain how much gratitude I’ve owe her throughout the years.
Okay enough ramblings, close of getting too personal already. Cheerios and looking forward for 2 0 1 4, till then peace out.!!! (saving my stuff for future post)
