Naruto Anime Review :)

Chuah Wyn Sum_0104872

Hello there. Wyn Sum here again. Lucky for you guys, I have yet another good way to cure your boringness, wondering what it is. Well, even though I am a girl, I love Naruto.

Yes, you guessed it, I am going to introduce you guys who and why Naruto is just so AWESOME! For those who have seen the anime, they seriously know what I am talking about!

For those who do not know Naruto, Naruto is actually an ongoing Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto and directed by Hayato Date. The plot tells the story of Naruto Uzumaki, an adolescent ninja who constantly searches for recognition and dreams to become the Hokage, the ninja in his village who is acknowledged as the leader and the strongest of all.

Now, let me introduce you to the main character which is the one and only Naruto Uzumaki. He is a young ninja with much passion to almost everything in the world, but was being hated when he was only a kid. This is due to the nine-tailed fox being sealed in his body by his own father which is the fourth Hokage.

But after he became a ninja, he is being teamed up under Team 7 lead by Kakashi Hatake with another two members which is Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno.

But because in this team, Naruto liked Sakura very much but Sakura just did not like him whereas she like Sasuke, this love triangle made Naruto jealous so he always finds time to battle with Sasuke but they always end up being friends in the end.

But because of this, all three of them became so attached that when Sasuke decided to run away to the bad guy in the anime, Orochimaru, the two of them when chasing for him but still did not managed to get Sasuke back. And so, the series of Naruto ended but Naruto Shippuden started as this is the continue series of Naruto itself. And the only difference is the Naruto Shippuden series is when all of the young ninjas became young adults and are all stronger than before. And in the Shippuden series, Naruto himself is being chased by a group of ninjas, as in the anime whom is being known as the Akatsuki criminal organization.

Well, I think it is not a good idea to reveal everything here, because it will totally spoil your mood. So if you guys are interested in the anime, please do watch! I am sure this would not disappoint you. Well, before I end, let me put one more group picture of the Naruto Shippuden series.

Almost forgot, the ratings for this anime is totally ♥♥♥♥♥ (five loves out of five!) YAY!  :)

Dredd - Movie review

Feeling undecided which movie to watch? Now, you do not have to feel fretful anymore because DREDD must be your choice if you are looking for a movie that is exciting and terrifying!

Before I start my review of this movie, I would like to note that this movie is only for people who are 18 years old above. There is a few violent scene that is not suitable to be watch by kids. 

Dredd is a 2012 science fiction action movie directed by Pete Travis, produced and written by Alex Garland. The story is about in the high rise slum known as Peach Trees, the former prostitute now had turned into drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey). She has skinned 3 men alive and displayed their bodies in the public as to send a message to everyone that no one should mess up with her. Karl Urban stars Judge Dredd and Olivia Thirlby stars Judge Anderson are being sent in to investigate. When Dredd and Judge Anderson arrest one of the men responsible for skinning off the 3 men's skin, Ma-Ma and her army hack into the Hall of Justice's computer system, enabling them to lock down the high rise and trapping Dredd and Anderson inside. Ma-Ma then orders everyone to find and execute the judges.

                                                Judge Anderson (Olivia Thirlby)

                                                            Ma-Ma (Lena Headey)

I personally feel that Dredd is an stunning movie. I really enjoyed the script because it has an really exciting plot. I like the premise of Dredd and Judge Anderson are being locked inside the building while Ma-Ma's thugs and every other vigilante living inside the slim trying to kill them. It was so exciting that I could not stop staring at the screen. I can not even sit properly because I was too anxious to know what is going to be happen next. This shows that how exciting Dredd is.

Speaking of the violent scene, Dredd is relatively violent. There are lots of brutality and bloodshed scene that makes me feels the pain too. However, I was quite of disapointed with the ending. As I thought the confrontation between Dredd and Ma-Ma conclusion was nowhere near as intense as it should be. Yet, it is not enough to ruin the movie by any means. Overall, I would rate this movie 4 out of 5!  ★★★★☆  

If you had not seen it, go and watch it! http://youtu.be/PifvRiHVSCY 

It has great visuals, proper performances and good script. You will like it!

Movie- "I am"

Goh Yi Xian

Hi everyone, today I am going to introduce a Korea movie which is "I am".

"I am" is a movie produce by Star Museum Entertainment (SM Entertainment). The duration of this movie is about 1 hour and 36 minutes. This movie depicts the story of SM Entertainment's artists and the growth of them, from trainee until they debut. The movie was included the story of KangTa, Boa, TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls' Generation, SHINee and F(X).

                                                        The poster of movie-"I am"

The movie is talking the story when they are young. They go to SM Entertainment to practice their dance moves and practice the technique of singing everyday. They practice around 6 hours per day although they still is a student of primary school or secondary school. Though they are exhausted from the practices which last till midnight, they have to endure the tiring training. I feel like crying when saw someone cry because she feel tired but still need to continue her practicing.
Some people to be trainee and practice 6-7 years just debut to be a real artist. The qualities they need most are patience and perseverance. Their dreams and goals serve to fuel their determination till their debut. On the day of their first debut, all of them cried, but nonetheless, they knew that it's still a long way to go. Now, they finally get the chance to appear on the stage Medison Square Garden. Being able to step on the stage where many huge stars such as Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga and One direction who have previously been on, they admit on their nervousness, but at the same time, they are very elated.

After i watch this movie, I realize that I differ from them as they have a specific aim to march towards. Conversely, I have not carefully thought of my own future, after enjoying this movie, I think I have a dire need to start drafting my future arch of sky.

This movie has not been made available in the Malaysia cinemas but you can watch it from Youtube.

"The Voice" - Singing Show Review

Are you searching for an exciting show?
Searching for a show that is so great that it will makes you goose bump?
Craving for a show that will made you touched and shed your tears away?
Looking for a show with lots of beautiful voice which can melts your heart?
If you are, then you must watch "The Voice"!

"Another singing show? That is boring". This is how I feel before I watch "The Voice". People often judge singing show this way too. After watching so much of singing competition shows, I personally think that singing show is boring. I would rather watch thriller or horror movie comparing to it because they are far more exciting. However, "The Voice" changed my mind and attracted my attention. It has utterly changed my opinion toward singing show now!

I am serious! "The Voice" is way better than other singing competition shows in a number of aspects. I think it is one of the best singing show I have ever watched. I had not even realize I am addicted to it until one day, one of my friend shows me this picture of me.

I am concentrating watching "The Voice" that I can't take my eyes off it. Why is it that attractive?

Contestants can sing really well. Unlike other singing competition show, "The Voice" only shows the best auditioning which makes for great entertain so audience would not get bored by watching it. Mostly of the vocalist showed has comprehensive ranges and dramatic performance right from the beginning, which will eventually make you feel like standing up and clap your hand for them.

The judges can sing really well. How many of these singing competition shows have you watched and thought to yourself "how did they get to be a judges?". Judges in "The Voice" are all famous singer that been considered as "greatest" singer. If you are wondering who are they? Here is your answer.

Christina Aguilera. She is a singer, songwriter, performer, producer, director and actress. She has sold more than thirty million albums worldwide, achieved four number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and has won five Grammy Awards, as well as having tree top five albums in the United States. She was also the only artist under thirty to make Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the 100 greatest singers of all time.

Adam Levine. He is the front man of Grammy Award-winning recording group Maroon 5. He has left an indelible marks on popular music. Capturing their first of three Grammy Awards --  2005's "Best New Artist" and going on to sell more than seventeen million albums. Maroon 5's release has gone gold and platinum in over thirty-five countries. They won over fans and critics on their debut album, then followed it up get double platinum with the second album. For the third album, it also went platinum. Front man of Maroon 5, Adam Levine is the first artist in the chart's 53 years history to reach first place as part of a group and enter the Top 10 at the same time as a cantor.

Ceelo Green.  He is a five time Grammy award winning singer, songwriter, producer, telivision personality, actor, entrepreneur, pop culture, fashion icon, and proffesional lady killer. In 2010, Ceelo achieved five Grammy nominations for his universal hit "Forget You", winning the category for "Best Urban and Alternative Performance. Ceelo Green is certified gold in the United States and Denmarka, achieved platinum status in Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, and multi-platinum status in Australia.

Blake Shelton. The first four singles from his Grammy nominated country album of the year, "Red River Blue", have all peaked at number one on the charts. He has had seven consecutive number one singles and twelve overall.

Another reason that the show attracted me was because of..

The concept behind "The Voice". The show is meant to be focus solely on the vocal ability and talents of the contestants allowing for people from all age, ethnicities, and musical genre's a decent shot. The "blind auditions" where the judges have their backs to the contestants while deciding if they can make it through to the next round is one of the unique qualities.

Curious about it? Check it out in http://www.nbc.com/the-voice/. You can found all of the episodes and the information of "The Voice" in their website. Besides that, you will found a lot of touching scene and stories in the show. Still considering about it?

Watch it and you will be surprise at how good is it! I am not exaggerating it, you will know how I feel once you watched it. You won't be regret after watching it because I am very sure that "The Voice" is absolutely amazing and worth watching!

Girls' Generation released "Oh" Japanese version

Goh Yixian



Hello to all K-pop fans and Girls' Generation's fans. I am Yixian. I would like to introduce a new song from Girls' Generation which is "Oh" Japanese version.

"Oh" Korean version released 2 years ago. "Oh" Korean version is very popular in both Eastern and Western countries. In my opinion, I feel "Oh" has a catchy rhythm and a joyful tune. Girls' Generation has manage to unleash their youthful, personality through the "Oh" music video. They wear cheerleader outfit and cheerleading dance move.

Girls' Generation released "Oh" Japanese version last month. 

Girls' Generation released an Japanese album, the album included "Time machine", "Paparazzi", "All my love is for you" and "Oh" Japanese version. The lyrics of all the song are in Japanese although they are Korea group. "Oh" Korean version is famous so their company decided to release "Oh" Japanese version. The lyrics of "Oh" Japanese version is not of all in Japanese but it has traces of the Korean language. I find they are amazing being able to master the Japanese pronunciation accurately. Since it' s not their native language, it is impressive that they can sound so precisely as most of the people are less likely to do so. I respect them for their dedication and the effort they put in in their carrier. The choreography of "Oh" Japanese version also use the theme of cheerleading dance move, the choreography is young and show their slim body.

"Oh" is a nice song and popular among children and although, the lyrics , tune and choreography easy to remember. The cheerleading dance move by Girls' Generation is warm-welconed by guys for their fresh and lively outlook. I strongly recommend my fellow readers to listen this song and try picking up this dance.
