The Damned World

Mother to be getting herself to this shit. Must be one of those money obsessed freaks that associate herself with people based on their wallet size.

Time for another of my ugly drawn cartoon haha..


( click the picture to enlarge it so that you could read the words. )

First of all let me remind you that there aren't any spoilers here. Therefore if you planned to watch the movie but wanted to hear what people say about it, you can finish reading the entire part.

"Just a brief introduction, Skeeter Bronson(Adam Sandler) was the son of a failed hotel owner. As the business wasn dying, his dad was forced to sell the hotel to Barry Nottingham (Richard Griffiths)who promises to make Skeeter manager, when he's grown up and has proven himself. Nottingham pulls down the motel to raise a pricey hotel. Although grown up, Skeeter works as a janitor and general servant, but unlikely as it seems, he still dreams of becoming the manager. When Nottingham announces a brand-new gigantic hotel project, he makes his future son-in-law, base Kendall (Guy Pierce), manager, shattering Skeeter's dream. At the same time Skeeter's sister Wendy (Courtney Cox) has to leave town for a job interview and asks him to alternate looking after her two children Patrick (Jonathan Morgan Heit) and Bobbi (Laura Ann Kesling) with Wendy's responsible-minded colleague Jill (Keri Russell). He doesn't get along with either Jill or the children, but his easy-goingness loosens them all up and once he starts telling his bedtime stories, the children grow fond of him and begin to bring in their ideas about how the stories should go. When the stories turn out to become true in real life, Skeeter tries to manoeuver the stories into a direction which will make his dream come true, too."


The flow of the story in the first part before Adam Sandler meet the kids was usual and pretty much expected. After he discovered that what the kids said could come true, the story became unpredictable for much people to guess. In fact at the ending, where everything had to be turned out right, there were abrupt sharp twist to the flow to make everything right.


The story is definitely entertaining, that is something you can expect all the way to the ending(unless adam sandler gets out of the picture but don't worry about that). There is also a soft subtle touch of family kinship and a dash of rommance. Every Adam Sandler has a message to send across, this is not hard to know as well although it is quite goofy and people normally just watch the show for the entertainment and doesn't bother to discover the morality. I shall leave that to you.

The movie is worth 8 out of 10(i bet a simple equation like this is what you all expect to see in a review rite?).

Like: Entertaining, Hilarious, quite touching
Dislike: twists in the story (but that is nothing)

You certainly cannot miss this show else you will be forced to remain slient when the people around you talks about it.

As Christmas and New Year is arriving, there is a short break from my school for about 2 weeks(Yeah...). On Friday 19 Dec 2008, I was lucky to receive free tickets to Fahrenheit Concert. So I went for it.

The security was stern. You couldn’t bring any form of food and beverage into the Singapore Indoor Stadium. My bottle of mineral water had to be left outside (Drat...). I was only able to get a packet of Fisherman’s Friend through.

The seating area around the extended pathway from the stage for the performers was surrounded by the most supportive and hardcore fans.

There were also fans from other countries like Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Thailand, all in small groups.

The moment they showed signs of appearance by the performers(above 2 pictures), the loyal (and crazy) fans roared away as if their heads were going to explode.

The area I was sitting wasn’t so bad. There is a clear view, probably 3rd class seats (pic below is from my seat without zoom). Not very near but at least i didn't have to pay for my seat and i am not there fans so this peaceful spot suits me perfectly.

It seemed to me that some the people weren’t very interested in the shows. In fact in between the concert’s progress there were people going from empty seat to seat collecting the souvenirs sponsored by Singtel (the ugly people of the damned world.) Most of them were women (This was a fact ok...).

The performance was about 2 hours or so. But the experience wasn't that pleasant. Firstly, I am not very fond of this band. Next, the indoor stadium's seats is only good for the first hour (after that, i recommend the Shaolin horse stance...).



The last 2 pictures were the aftermath of the concert. The blurry effect wasn't the camera's fault. It was smoke thanks to the fire effects and dry ice that kind of nonsense during the performance.







Next week I am going to a classical music concert instead. Hopefully I get more comfortable chairs ;)
