An Ode To Novin

Just a few days ago, I began writing this poem about my troublesome delinquent classmate, Novin aka Various Ridiculous but Sensible Names. Guess what? it only took me about five minutes to write it in class. So, here it goes...

An Ode To Novin....




Have you ever wondered why he's black?
Why he gives you a heart attack?
It's obviously not his sexy back
Intelligence is something he's gonna lack


His name is Novin, or "Charcoal"
He's not gonna have it all
We are not having a ball
When he stands, we fucking fall


Oh crap, we can't see him in the dark,
His bite is worse than his bark
He loves to piss in the park
He always leaves the "chop" mark


His mum drank chocolate milk
Yes, she did...
Than she gave birth to him
Oh, is it?


There's no benefit meeting him
Unless you are smacking him
I pity the dude who is one Baron
Oh fucking shit, his name is Darren!


So here's the poem, if you know Novin quite well, you would probably understand every bit of this blog...



P.S. - RIP Michael Jackson(1958-2009)



Cheers,
-Tim-

Screen Reviews - Terminator Salvation



As always, the school holidays are always boring, no doubt about it. In order to lose the typical boring feeling, I decided to watch one of the most anticipated blockbusters this summer: Terminator Salvation.....
Well, this is the fourth instalment of the ever-popular Terminator franchise. This time, the story no longer includes time-travelling. This movie is set in the future where the machines are conquering the Earth and the human's last hope is John Connor, played by Christian Bale.
At first, I was doubtful that this instalment will be a hit ever since the disappointing Terminator 3: Rise of The Machines. After watching it, I was wrong. This movie is quite a joyride. It is more faithful to the series and though the continuity may be a little confusing, but if you're a fan of the series, you'll understand.
First, I want to talk about the action. Like Bale's other hit, The Dark Knight, there is a lot of intense action, explosion, and of course, killing. Even though there are not a lot of CGI used, but the realisic tone still sets on the action scenes.
Then, the machines created by Skynet. As you know, The Terminator(aka the Governor of California) is the first machine that popped into the series. Since this is the future, Arnie isn't alone. There are tons of huge, intimidating machines like the Hunter Killer, the Harvester, some self-controlled motorcycle terminators and the cyborg Terminators which come in different models.
Last but not least, I want to talk about the cast. In every Terminator movie, the cast gradually changes. Like its predecessors, this movie has an all-new cast. There is Christian Bale who intensely potrayed John Connor, Anton Yelchin as the young Kyle Reese, and also Australian newcomer Sam Worthington who stole the show playing Marcus Wright, an amnesiac Terminator who still thinks he's human. I know some Arnold Schwarzenegger fans are disappointed he's not in this movie. You must know that the series doesn't revolve around Arnie's world but it's about John Connor and the future war. But don't fret, my people. He will make a cameo in this movie. I'm not giving you any spoilers but go watch it yourself.
Overall, go ahead and watch this movie, you'll won't regret it.
Cheers,
-Tim-
