It's kind of a weird combination but I somehow like to watch shows where someone has a disability somewhere.It reminds me of Heaven's Coins.Not bad.The male lead (the killer)is quite charismatic. <br /><br />I wanted to buy more,but I stopped myself because I'm not earning right now and I shouldn't be spending so much.But I held these DVDs with me for a long time before deciding not to buy them.<br /><br /> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgONBoqJRyUsZtcYJ_isoedwAXAT7JOqlH_yIKaTQqW-rEnxofAJAt4YtgWjN5Vdk_Ip5cA9vNke0oqkFoP_lXhISJT7siKz0LB9Syz0_8k0JOMwUiRxWHqwk7JPi67QUAWf2qhmg/s1600/man_on_fire.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 136px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgONBoqJRyUsZtcYJ_isoedwAXAT7JOqlH_yIKaTQqW-rEnxofAJAt4YtgWjN5Vdk_Ip5cA9vNke0oqkFoP_lXhISJT7siKz0LB9Syz0_8k0JOMwUiRxWHqwk7JPi67QUAWf2qhmg/s200/man_on_fire.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409016359019130418" /></a><br /><br />This movie has a sad ending too,I like!But the main draw was Denzel Washington.There are many black actors in Hollywood,like Don Cheadle, Eddie Murphy etc.But they don't really catch my attention as much as him.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6sHcF25QBF4TNu_JuDdpXCFRJ5VtMVaaBFcUmXjRbdwddbNOyHgwtoVYo6SReRdjA-AKYXJjZBYmpxGOxPQnc0PLZ8jx5xGW7UfvJJAbO177FHxO81KP0cYorumLjZJSweuDxsA/s1600/amelie.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6sHcF25QBF4TNu_JuDdpXCFRJ5VtMVaaBFcUmXjRbdwddbNOyHgwtoVYo6SReRdjA-AKYXJjZBYmpxGOxPQnc0PLZ8jx5xGW7UfvJJAbO177FHxO81KP0cYorumLjZJSweuDxsA/s200/amelie.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409017128645945170" /></a><br /><br />EVERYONE has been telling me how good this film is,but I've never gotten a chance to watch it.I didn't buy it in the end because I might not like it and it will be a waste of money.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I chanced upon this Insing.com contest.They were looking for a movie blogger to write reviews,and this person will be paid!Of course I've applied for it.But I don't think the chances are high because there are a gazillion people out there who knows so much more than me,and are more passionate about movies.<br /><br />They asked me to fill up an online form,and there were 4 questions.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">1.If you were a movie villain, who would you be and why?</span><br /><br />I said I'll be Hannibal Lecter because not many villains have class and poise at the same time. I think that's a very popular answer,besides Joker.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">2.What are your top 3 favourite movies? Pick one and tell us why that's your fav movie.<br /></span><br /><br />I said 1.LOTR 2.Edward Scissorhands 3.Once<br />Then went on to talk about Edward Scissorhands.I said coz it's an unconventional love story and Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are always good to watch. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">3.What is your fav movie scene and how would you add a Singaporean twist into it?</span><br />The Singaporean twist part was tough so I crapped.I said my fav scene was LOTR when Aragon and gang all bowed to Frodo because he got rid of the ring.The Sg twist was to change Frodo to Broadway Beng,then he'll be saying some Singlish.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">4.Why do you think you should be Insing's movie blogger?</span><br />Very typical qn.ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ<br /><br />Hopefully I'll get chosen!<div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div><br><br> <br> </td> <td valign="top" id="blog" width="220" style="border-right: 0px solid #7F4E52; padding: 5px 5px 5px 10px;"><br><br> <center></center><br><br> <i></i><br><br> <a href="http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fei%3DUTF-8%26p%3Dthe%2520dark%2520knight%26fr2%3Dtab-web%26fr%3Dmoz2&w=338&h=500&imgurl=static.flickr.com%2F3235%2F2450316037_d3bcf9c998.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fcinesfera%2F2450316037%2F&size=135.6kB&name=Afiche+Batman%3A+The+Dark+Knight+5&p=the+dark+knight&type=JPG&oid=2fad103d497d1082&fusr=cinesfera&tit=Afiche+Batman%3A+The+Dark+Knight+5&hurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fcinesfera%2F&no=16&tt=183,748&sigr=11ijmaooc&sigi=11gbl4nur&sigb=12vetcjvd&sigh=117g05ph2"><img src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Bl4ckfire/superman46.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br> It's a bird!
