Sucker Punch = Manga

Spoke with a guy today who told me Sucker Punch is a manga movie. That was the a-ha moment of the month for me. Totally makes sense, explains pretty much everything about that film! I actually gotta see it again now after realising this.

Battle: Stay Awake

Battle: Los Angeles has a great trailer, but that's all you need to see. The rest is some kind of badly disguised US Army recruitment agenda. Extremely boring too. Great to watch in bed if you are having sleep problems. This is a warning, because I've plugged the trailer earlier.

Sucker Punch'd away

Watching Zack Snyder's new 3D FX-fest. Loving the art work in this one, truly a top notch piece of design, creativity and after effects bonanza. It has an extremely surreal feel to it, and is based on the so often used theme of making us spectators wonder if the lead is insane or not. The use of young women as main characters leads to the conclusion that the target audience is basically young men, but the film will draw girls and women as well. A perfect date movie for the cinema going masses, as well as a perfect eye feast for us who love well made FX. I have seen one third so far, can say that so far this is the coolest thing since Avatar. Great selection of songs as well, including Bjork. Not done in 3D, sadly, but can be seen in Imax. If you have the chance to see it in Imax - Take it!

Charlie Sheen's bomb of Torpedo

Charlie bombing is not coming as a surprise, seeing him only makes me think of the Joaquin Phoenix mockumentary "I'm still here", but Charlie's doing it for real. Even the rap song with Snoop Dogg.

Test drive Mitsubishi Miu (electric car)

I want an electric car as soon as possible. I went for a test drive in the just released Mitsubishi Miu yesterday. The car is tiny, but drives really well. It's strange to turn the egnition and see lights go on, but hear no engine, all quiet. I took it out on the freeway and maxed it up to 130 kmh. It feels like any regular car of similar size. I liked it a lot, as a second car for local trips for the kids activities and shopping, it would work great. A few minuses are that I have three kids, one adult sized, and they would not all fit in the back seat, and the fact that my 10 minute drive took 25% of the battery load, be it in sub zero weather. The battery is guaranteed for five years, so one could assume it would be finished after 5.5 years then. The pricetag is of a large quite luxurious asian SUV, which makes it less interesting. I'd say at half the price it would be a great buy. Right now, I'll wait.
