Transformers and Die Hard 4.0

Friday, June 29th, 2007

WOW!!!…Finally films that arent dissapointing at all…Transformers was superb…Michael Bay has done it again…Yet, i still felt the movie would have been nicer if it was a collaboration between Speilberg and Bruckheimer…The plot is quite well writen…It allows the audience to follow the story quite well and doesnt really much confuse us…there were nice comical parts as well which i like a lot…as for the gentle giant robots, they’re amazing…sad some had to die and get injured…the audiences basically went, "fuyoh…." "wah…." "whoa…" and some screamed and clap…i was amazed by the weapons they portrayed…not the transformers weapons but those of the US military…wow…

my rating a near perfect 9 out of 10…trust me it was way better than all the other summer release so far…

As for die hard 4.0, it was fast and action packed…although i still feel it could have been better if we had john mcteirnan directing it just as how he did the first 3 and have joel silver producing it as well…i still would say die hard 3 was the best just because of jeromy irons brilliant voice as simon…anyways, die hard 4 had great stunts…a little over the top but great enough…and as usual, the ending…villain dies but i like the way he dies…nice comical parts…and good to see bruce willis finally doing some hardcore action…

my rating is a 7 out of 10…watch the movie only if ur a die hard fan and love crazy stunts…

Opel Kadet vs Toyota Cressida…

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

Both cars are at least 30 years old and yet both are in perfect condition…Its German technology vs Japanese technology…And i love driving both…both have their advantages and disadvantages…

Opel_kadett02
The Opel belongs to my grandpa…He bought it in 1978…Before that he had a triumph which i probably guess he regrets selling off…This car has been through everything…From North to South, east to west, it has covered the entire peninsular…of course now, it takes it at least 2 minutes to reach a 100km/h…yet, it has a solid body and its bright yellow colour makes it a familiar vehicle in the streets of ipoh…almost everyone there must have seen it at least once…

Std_1977_toyota_cressida
The Toyota belonged to my late uncle…He bought it in the seventies also…This car was superb…It has a 2.0 liter engine and would fly on the highways…It was a limousine  in deed…A muscle car, my friends say…and indeed it is…sadly, this car wasnt as well maintained as my grandpas…but yet it can still fly…it can reach 150km/h easily…and its heavy making it beautiful to take corners…and there are not many models of this type in malaysia…so whenever i hit the streets in it, its a real eye catcher…so much so that a guy once ask me what type of jaguar it was when it isnt even a jaguar…

i really dont know why im bloging this post…hmm…well, at least for those car fanatics out there who love classics, this 2 models are definately in a class of their own…

The Auteur…

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Authorship students would know what an auteur is…anyways, one of my all time favourite directors and i think one of the greatest action film director is michael bay…yup…the same guy i mentioned in andrew’s class…he doesnt really have a whole range of films under his belt but he has got the big ones in his name…

There are other great action film directors like John Mcterennian, Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, the Wachowski brothers, etc…but none can match this guy…and what i love about this guy is his collaboration with my favourite producer, jerry bruckheimer…they made 5 films together…all blockbusters…

The thing is, Transformers has opened today and with Speilberg as executive producer and special effects by Industrial Light and Magic, its going to be fantastic…I have seen all of Micheal Bay in films and video more than once…And none were a dissapointment…

I remember watching The Rock with my dad…Loved the Ferrari-Hummer chase scene and the 360 camera angle on Nicholas Cage…In Bad Boys, saw it a million times with my bro, firends, family and still love it…Amazing soundtrack and another amazing breathless 360 camera angle on Mike(will smith) and Marcus(martin lawrence)…and then in 1998, the best of all…ARMAGEDDON!!!!…bruce willis was superb…wow…it was amazing…bloody brilliant…and 2001’s Pearl Harbour…that was extraordinary…Josh Hartnet and Ben Affleck…what else can we ask for…BAD BOYS 2…my favourite…the stunts were just superb…The Island…Ewan and Scarlett were fantastic…

All this films have made me react to it…why i dont want to watch this films with my friends is because i wanna watch it alone…Micheal Bay has got a special thing from me…And when i watch his films, i tend to scream and go "whoa……."yes…i actually do…thats why i love watching at home all his dvds with my bro…we go "whoa……" "shit……." "wow………." all the expressions come out…its a special connection from one small director to another great director…

Transformers will not be a dissapointment…Micheal Bay is an auteur…and soon Aaron Raj will join him…

PS: i realize most of the comm students make romance dramas or comedies or action comedies…Police Story Man was a good action comedy…but it was ok only…time for me to make a huge big budget action film…im looking for a good cast and vehicles to use…Details coming soon…

My Phone is Broken…

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Its a real sad day for aaron raj…His phone is broken…The LCD is damaged…i dont know how it happened…I guess it must have got scratched with my keys or something…all i know is the last i check the phone was in carrefour and it was working properly…den i came back, chat on msn and all…before i sleep, i wanna charge my phone and i discover there is no display…the phone is working but there is no display…and a crack can be seen on the LCD…

sigh…more expenses for me again…

In Ever Loving Memory of Chris Benoit…

Yesterday was a sad day for WWE when superstar Chris Benoit, his wife and their son were found dead at their home…Latest news reports says its a double homicide…i dont know why he did it…i mean what was going through him? i always liked chris benoit…he was a clean fighter and one of the greatest…i still loved his Wrestlemania 20 match…one of the best matches of all time…

Yesterday in RAW, chairman Vince McMahon appeared…i liked his speech…"The death of my character………but in reality Chris Benoit, his wife and son are dead…"…shows wat show business is really about…

Yesterday watching RAW was really sad…seeing men, wrestlers, superstars crying wasnt something normal…last time was eddie…and now benoit…its sad…

Yesterday, watching the wrestlemania 20 match, the ending was really sad…seeing 2 best buddies, 2 great wrestlers now gone…

May his soul rest in peace…

The Most Boring Friday Night in My Life!!!

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

DAMN DAMN DAMN!!!

Its 1.12am and im in my room all by myself blogging…All my housemates have gone out…And my bro is probably dancing with some chick in some club…And im stuck here all by myself…Not that i dont want to go out…Everybody’s got their own plans as well…Its Hiu’s birthday and most of us are still having exams…I was supposed to chill out with Jo when she called me earlier…Sadly, she had to cancel too…Well, at least i had a good talk with her on the phone…Im listening to a techno version of Hans ZImmer’s Now We Are Free…Sounds ok to me…

Had McDs with Kat, Mindy and Ann earlier…Kat thought Kajon was my brother…Why does everyone think Kajon is my bro?…I dont look anything like him…We’re 2 totally different individuals…The only thing i guess we share in common is a big tummy although mine’s bigger than his…Still, this is not the first time this has happen…Kajon, ur getting famous…Soon people will know you as Aron’s bro…haha…And Kah Chun Hor, dun make it so obvious when you see me walking with girls…Just to let u know, they know what u are thinking…:P

Im gonna start filming for my next film…WOW…I cant believe it…Im finally doing really interesting stuff…Im not allowed to tell the script but i can say that its more like a twisted love story…so yeah, look out for that for an August release I think…Of course, Monash Spice Boys, Kidnapped and Hostel will be premiering in July at the new campus…look out for this films…

The funny thing is that there was only 2 people online on my msn list…Well at least now there is 6…And im not chatting with any one of them…hmm…Josh Grobhan’s You Are Loved is playing now…hmm…nice relaxing song…listen to it…

I was watching Love Actually again just now…I think its my 7th or 8th time watching it…yet i still love it…something about the British accent that just makes me glued to it…Any nice English girls out there?…

I saw GOAL 2 yesterday…Good movie but dissapointing ending…Real Madrid did not play Arsenal in UEFA final and beat them 3 - 2…And who the hell is T.J.Harper?…ALthough, i still loved the film…I think the Goal film series is the ultimate football film…it gives the proper view of what footballers really go through…I was amazed how they got all the actual players to act for the film…

Speaking of football, I hope Henry doesnt leave…If, he leaves, well, we wont be doomed…but its gonna be hard…Time will tell…Arsene should buy some big names…

Kat and gang wanna go to Sunway Lagoon on Friday…Im invited…woohoo…its almost exactly a year since i last went there…hmm…Speaking of Sunway, the bike is coming…maybe should have a bike chase in my future films…i was able to do stunts with my old bike…hope i havent forgotten any…

ok…time to go bug and invade other peoples blogs now…

Im gonna be a biker…

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

Starting July 16th 2007 onwards, Aaron Raj will become a biker…That’s right im gonna start cycling to the new campus…Time to relive my high school days of cycling…for those of you ipoh boys and girls reading this you would remember how aaron raj was known in Lim Garden for his amazing collection of bikes…It all started with the Mini in 1988…The 3 wheeler proved to be a very well machine indeed…Than in 1992, came in the most successful bike of all, the Ferrari BMX 2020…this small little red fellow served me well and also served my brother quite well until its retirement in 2000…It was a sad departure…Of course i had the Porsche 911 in 1996…this was a good bike as well untill my accident in 1997 which destroyed the bike completely…And then came another one…The classic Alfa Romeo…It as the best…Got it in late 1997 and served me well till 1999…In 2000, i bought my most priced possession…The BMW735i…it was an amazing machine…super suspensions and aloy body kit…it was every boy’s dream…it lasted me well untill i gave it to charity last year…In 2000, dad bought a classic MG for bro…The old black machine was a classic indeed…it had a superb horn in the form of bells…super high beam dynamo lights, a large boot space in the form of a basket and nice passenger space as well…It didnt last long though…sold it in 2002 and bought and E class Mercedes Benz…gave that to charity as well last year…

So as u can see, i was cycling for a long time…and believe it or not, i had good legs…some of the best legs and fastest legs in ipoh…i did dream of becoming a cyclist at one time…i would go around helping people during floods with my bro…do a neighbour hood watch and sometimes take part in Mat Rempit races with the rest of my old buddies…guys we had a great time…

Anyways, i shall be buying the McLaren SLR next…i hope it serves me well…its sponsored by Theiry Henry himself and Emirates…Look out for it soon…Im getting it by the end of the month…time to relive the days of Cycling Raj…
