Rain is your Ninja Assassin

From being a Korean pop star to endorser to now the first English Korean movie lead actor, Rain stars in an amazing action-packed, blood and killing driven movie--- Ninja Assassin.

It is a tale of a skilled assassin who was trained by a mythical secret society called Ozuno Clan who are being hired by powerful men to be the modern assassins in the shadows of the night. But the moment his fellow ninja clan kills Raizo's friend (and somewhat love interest), Raizo bids his time until the day he can take the entire Ozunu Clan down.

It might be your ordinary revenge and action type movie. But honestly despite the shallow over-rated plot, that comment is clouded by the fast-paced, heart-stopping martial arts--- or whatever it is that Ninja does for their fighting method (and that includes his favorite weapon, Kratos of God of Wars very own Blades of Chaos! LOL). It's a movie entirely to entertain you and enjoy the favored concept of ninja ways... from their training to the weapons and the bad-ass shurikens, this movie is not for the weak gut and hearted.

The only negative thing I noticed is that there were a lot of absolutely obvious cut-scenes to reduce the thought of the gore that might happen next-- such as blood spilling, head cutting, more blood spilling---you get the gist. I guess it'll be available only to the Director's cut release sometime next year.

So for those who hasn't watched it yet (or is not aware of it yet), I recommend a night of ramen and Ninja Assassin to complete your thirst for some awesomeness. (Although I still wonder why they chose Rain to star in this though--- gotta love the abs! ;D)

I rarely use my blog for the benefit of pleasing my own vanity (and or personal gain for that matter). But for this instance, I want to ask any random reader of my blog to show me their love and support by voting my team's entry at the Solo "Discover You" contest.

Just register and rate our entry and that's one big help already. Thanks a lot to those who will spend their 5 minutes doing this! :)

November Music collection

You've prolly noticed I haven't been able to post music highlights for quite some time now. And as expected, new songs just keep popping up! Here's some of them worth downloading-- or buying for that matter (Unless you're pro-pirated =p).


First up, 30H! features Katy Perry in a nice, fresh disco-pop like song that seems a bit Gaga-ish but Starstukk has indeed struck the charts!




People would probably say they nominated Lady Gaga's Bad Romance as one of those under the category with the "worst/weirdest" video of 2009, but then again, isn't that what makes her interesting? Here's her yet again avant-garde / over-the-top insane looks but is oh so fashionable!




You're Worth It by Taj Jackson was heard from a friend's playlist. Nice RnB. :)



Alicia Keys is back and is hot as usual! Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart is not as senti as the title implies.



Next up, Miley Cyrus makes Party In The USA one of the hottest songs in the chart despite her seemingly naive counterpart Hanna Montana. Let's just hope she [Miley herself] doesn't become the next Lindsay Lohan.




From kick-ass music to kick-more-ass music, Black Eyed Peas does keep their album The E.N.D. (Energy Never Dies) at the top of the charts with yet another single titled Meet Me Halfway.




And lastly, David Rush ft. LMFAO, Pitbull & Kevin Rudolf teams up to make one helluva party song! Here's Shooting Star that just makes you want to put the groove on!

Twilight Stars THEN and NOW

.
TWILIGHT Saga fans are probably trying to fit themselves in all cinemas showing the hit book's second series 'New Moon' screening out today. Although I may not be a part of those poeple rushing and screaming "Edwaaaardddd <3!!!">

For Twilight fans, here's an interesting look on the cast of the famed and crazed vamp love story!
