Review: The Incredible Hulk

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

Release Date: 13 June 2008
Classification: U (PG)
Language: English
Running Time: 1 hour 54 minutes
Director: Louis Leterrier
Cast: Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, William Hurt, Tim Blake Nelson.

Rating: 3/5

Incredible Hulk was a action and drama wrapped in this huge green beast created by Bruce Banner. Well, there’s no doubt Marvel Comic’s characters are already high standard and to alter this would be a sin, so character-wise, they managed to get that.

Another point to this is the incredible computer-generated imagery (CGI). Beautifully desgined Hulk and the rest of the destruction caused. The scenes were nicely done as well. The fight scenes were amazing and all the guns and bullets, however, they lack of it. If they had more battles, it’d be much more incredible.

All in all, if you liked the first movie The Hulk, you’d find The Incredible Hulk a really good movie. If you did not and you’d like to entertain yourself, The Incredible Hulk would do well.

Fresh Faces of HMC Student Council!!

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Hi guys and gals of HMC…….! ^^

It has almost been a month since our dear ex-president, Jon left HELP. During the past one month, not only have many events taken place in HMC, we now also have a few fresh faces in our Student Council main Committee!

First up, I would like to announce that I would be your new HMC Student Council President for the fiscal year of 2008/09, due to a win in an internal election among our student council members. With that, I’ll like to express my gratitude to all the students, lecturers and staff members who have supported me to take on this presidential post. All I can say is: I would definitely give my very best shot in developing the Student Council, and of course, make the students’ life in HMC an unforgettable and cherishable one as well! If you feel that you have something in mind which you eagerly wish to express out, whether it is a simple comment or suggestion, do feel free to drop us a comment at our website!

Apart from that, we also have a few new EXCO members in our team! I’ll be introducing them to you tomorrow k?? They’re all awesome-blossom dudes, and I bet you’ll love them very much!

Stay tuned…… to hmcstudentcouncil.com!!! =P

Road Trip

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

Okay, since we’re gonna try do something different to our HMC student council website, by means, making it more ‘bloggish-like’, I’d like to post our very FIRST outing that we had on Saturday (7th June 08) ^^

We had our so-called ‘road trip’ (I guess you can call that) down to KL. . . . . Well, not exactly just KL (I’ll explain later). As ya’ll know we have started planning on our annual ball, we did a little hotel venture at KL. Hotels that we went to check out were La Meridien Hotel, Nikko Hotel, Renaissance Hotel, Concorde Hotel, and last but not least, Shangri-La Hotel.

Recap: C2AGE 2008

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

C2AGE happened on the 31st May 2008 from 8am to 5pm. To summarise it, it was a day of fun for those of you who love cosplaying, anime, games and comics. We had console games, tabletop games, cosplaying, art booths, model booths, and trivias. To write about the whole day would be too much, so here are some pictures.

Review: Kung Fu Panda

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

Note: These reviews might not be the same as your own opinions.

Released: 6th June 2008
Classification: U (PG)
Language: English
Runtime: 1 hour 43 minutes
Director: Mark Osborne, John Stevenson
Cast: Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, David Cross, Lucy Liu, Seth Rogan, Dustin Hoffman, Ian McShane.

Rating: 4/5 stars

Dreamworks Animation pulled it off with Kung Fu Panda. All these while their movies (with some exceptions such as Shrek) had been really childish and corny (to me). However, in Kung Fu Panda, they explore deeper in the darker side with amazing martial arts. Even with its slightly cliched storyline, the action and humour in the movie can keep glued to your seat.

Apart from the storyline, they have the perfect team of voice actors. Who can not like a show with Jack Black and Jackie Chan in it? They have made the average script as interesting as possible.

Animation-wise, Dreamworks Animation have always been improving. This time, they included swift fighting moves which can keep your eyes glued onto the screen. All in all, they have did a wonderful job with Kung Fu Panda and majority of the reviews have given it good criticism.
