Sneak Peek:

Alive (1993)

"In the struggle for survival, the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals because they succeed in adapting themselves best to their environment." - Charles Darwin
How can a group of football jocks from a plane crash come out alive for months of starvation in the snowy highlands? Watch this film and you will know.


Alive, a morbid true story of survival and humans-eating-humans, sets to make your movie experience into a potpourri of extreme emotions. Well, it doesn't only offer subtle scenes of flesh-eating desperados, but more often than not it also gives out the chills of emotional separation from rationality.

Good cinematography. Convincing cast. Nice! Nice!

Personal Rating: 7/10

Hereafter (2010)

I really don't know what happened to this film, to think that the cast is star-studded and the director is the brilliant Clint Eastwood.

My friends and I watched this film a few years back. I can still remember our appalling faces after spending almost two hours askew. We actually didn't appreciate a single bit of it, even the effort of making the film.


 Sorry, but this film sucks big-time.

Personal Rating- 2/10

Schindler's List (1993)

Nowadays, people who are real anti-semitics might not be very common unless you enter a comedy bar during Saturday nights. We hear jokes and rants against Jews that are very demeaning, often taken out from their customs, rituals, and stuff. This is very popular in TV shows-a Jewish-born character who receives self-deprecating remarks for his/her irky "Jewish" behaviors. Since the audience have been accustomed by this typical scene, they can't help but laugh. Nonetheless, Do they know how these Jews suffered during the Holocaust era? I honestly don't think so.

"Schindler's List blends the abject horror of the Holocaust with Steven Spielberg's signature tender humanism to create the director's dramatic masterpiece."
Personal Rating- 9/10
