Forces spéciales (Special Forces) - war is hell....

Last night while everyone else in Malaysia is busy watching the final episode of a cheeky drama series "Vanilla Cokelat", i was watching this movie in my "man-cave"...

It is a french adventure war movie, i usually will give a foreign language movie a miss but the premises of this movie makes me want to watch it (i'm a sucker for a war movie like this). This movie centers around a rescue mission to save a kidnapped French journalist from a "rogue-Taliban" extremist. (Remember that this is a foreign movie so please ignore the typical-bad-guy-from-Afghanistan-Taliban thing and enjoy the movie as it is).

I for one enjoyed the movie and the heroism portrayed by the Special Forces "could" bring a tears or two from the audience.

Go find the movie and watch it as it is.. and for any military-modeler-buff out there, you will be able to catch a glimpse of a few military hardware (not the typical US made) such as the NH-90 Helicopter, Tiger HAP helicopter, the Super Frelon, the Charles de Gaulle  aircraft carrier and the Mirage 2000. I might missed a few but sure nice to see another hardware from another nation.

anyway, if you find a .mkv version; use VLC Media player to watch it :o)

Middle finger as a form of salute.....

weird... very weird indeed...

Over the weekend, aku berbasikal sebagai part of aku punya routine and then i saw a few remaja saluting each other with their "middle finger"... and the other party responded to it with a smile and saluting back to their friends with the same gesture.

I thought only when people are mad at someone over a road-rage or near missed accident on highway does people use their middle-finger as a form of self-expression but this is weird.

I guess gone are the days of friends angkat tangan and say "hi" to each other not maybe the in thing is this new saluting method :o)

Well... at least they're still saluting each other... right?

The Grey - An intense great movie!!

Once more into the fray,
Into the last good fight i'll ever know
Live and die on this day
Live and die on this day

An intense and a powerful thriller movie this is, i just finish watching it and i must recommend it to all..
The musical score (especially the ending piano) is very appropriate to the poem that have been the main drive for the main character John Ottway (Liam Neeson).

He survived a plane crash in the Alaskan wilderness and he must survived the wolf...

and dont forget to watch the after the ending credit ... :o)
