The Emperor's Journey: a must-see

I've never had interest for animals documentary. But The Emperor's Journey is no ordinary ducumentary. In fact, I think it is more like a love story. Such an extraordinary and touching story by the French director Luc Jacquet.

I've just watched the Mandarin version and I really enjoy every minute of it. Go watch it with your loved ones!

Highly recommended.

amazing race 8: support the Weaver family!

During the first and second episodes of Amazing Race 8, I thought this family edition will not be as exciting as the previous seasons. I thought it is not wise to sell American history and watching the families spending most of their time racing within their homeland.

But I was wrong. AR8 is different from its predecessors but just as exciting and watchable. I must say that they have an amazing combination of families. Personally I support the Weaver family since the first episode. I particularly love the part when the Weaver family was in the last place in Utah, (they took the wrong route and later yielded (again!) this time by the evil Linz family) enjoying their ice-creams to ease their frustrations thinking that they would be eliminated. I admire Linda for her courage and perseverance in protecting her kids and keeping her family together.

On the other hand, the Linz family is a bunch of pathetic and rude people. They simply don't have respect for others particularly Linda Weaver by calling her names. I don't understand why they hate the Weaver family so much. Rumour says that the Linz family won AR8. That's going to be a very sad ending because bad guys never win the Amazing Race before. Colin, Jonathan and Rob are very good examples.

angelina vs aniston: who won the biggest feud of 2005?

Definitely Angelina Jolie! Not because she has won the heart of our Mr. Pitt. It is Aniston who had made the wrong decision by going public with the divorce and doing things that bring her self image down.

I don't really hate Aniston. In fact I love to watch Aniston in Friends (although Rachel is not my favourite character). I was a bit annoyed by her recent appearance on Oprah. I was pretty sure that she tried to gain sympathy from viewers (and Oprah). And the fact that she recently appear topless on the cover of a magazine simply shows her desperation for attention.

With her talent I believe she can make it in Holllywood even without Pitt (and Friends). She does not need to resort to cheap publicity like what she is getting now. Aniston should get some tips from Nicole Kidman.

angelina jolie could be the next bond girl

Angelina Jolie is said to have loved the script for "Casino Royale" (the latest Bond movie starring Daniel Craig as agent 007, who coincidently Jolie's co-star in Tomb Raider) but hasn't sign the deal yet. The producers are said to have considered Jolie as the perfect choice for the part of Vesper Lynd, a Russian double agent who beds agent 007.

Although it's great to see her being so successful in commercial flicks, I would love to see her starring in heavy and meaty roles again just like what she did in her past movies like Gia, Foxfire and Girl, Interrupted.
