Was just reading some entertainment news just now and was shocked to find out that Brad Pitt is related to Barrack Obama while Angelina Jolie and Hillary Clinton are distant cousins.
If you do not know who is Obama and Hillary, they are the 2 ppl in the running to be the Democratic presidential candidate for the US presidency. It would be a first if either one of them actually wins the Presidency – Obama the first black president while Hillary would be the first female president. It is currently a very close fight.
Anyway back to the topic, can you believe that they can actually find out who is related to who.. Maybe i should check my lineage as well. how you know maybe i am related to like the king of thailand or something or to bill gates… damn that would be cool…

Spiderwick Chronicles is a story of goblins, fairies and magic but think again if you think that its like any normal fairy tale because this story is actually dark.
The story begins with Jared Grace (Freddie Highmore) who moves into an old house with his family, including his twin brother Simon (also Highmore) and sister Mallory (Sarah Bolger), that they’ve inherited from their great uncle Arthur Spiderwick. Jared discover a field guide to a magical world written by his great uncle, and soon begin to notice faeries throughout the estate. There is a problem though, Mulgarath, a shape-shifting ogre, wants the field guide so that he can rule over all faerie-kind (and possibly humans as well) and so starts attacking the children in an attempt to obtain it.
I like this movie. It was nice. The movie is based on a best-selling novel by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi but it does not completely follow the storyline. True fans of the novel might feel cheated by this but it is still a good movie which I recommend to everyone.
Went to watch CJ7 the other day. It is Stephen Chow’s latest project which is features state of the art special effects. This story actually moves away slightly from Mr Chow’s usual slapstick movies although there are still a lot of funny segments.
Instead of focusing on Stephen who plays a poor labourer, Ti, the focus is more on his son, Dicky (played by a girl, Jiao Xu, yes you read correct – a girl). The story begins with Ti finding a toy which he gives to his son. Unknown to him, the toy he found turns out to be an alien pet and with this strange new pet, the story starts to develop. A story that teaches them an important lesson of the true nature of family and the things money can’t buy.
Its a nice movie and worth watching. The highlight of the movie is actually Dicky who is very believable. She should be commended as this is actually her first movie and I think given the chance she can go far.
Jumper tells the story of David (Hayden Christensen) who at a young age discovered that he had the ability to teleport to different locations at will. He basically used the abilities that he has to travel around the world living a consequence-free life.
One day a man called Roland (Samuel L Jackson) appears in his life and David realises that Roland is a Paladin, a member of an organisation dedicated to the eradication of all Jumpers. Roland has been tracking David for years after investigating several mysterious bank robberies David had accomplished.
The show also stars Jamie Bell who plays Griffin another Jumper and Rachel Bilson who plays Millie, David’s love interest when he was younger.
The basic plot of the movie is Roland’s quest to destroy David and the ordeal David goes to in order not to be killed.
The story is nice albeit Hayden’s acting is a bit stiff. It is worth watching if you have nothing else to do.
