Movie Review: CJ7 (Chang Jiang 7) by Stephen Chow

My Rating : 8 of 10.

CJ7 is a science-comedy kind of movie. You can expect have big laugh in the cinema but since it is created by Hong Kong movie industry, it would be the biggest achievement compared to Hollywoord productions’. Not so funny for adults but a great pleasure to bring family and kids to watch it. Its about alien, small creature but cute alien is very similar to chicken little character.

Previewed in Hong Kong on 23/1 but international premiered including Hong Kong should be 31 jan 08. Released in Jakarta(indonesia) and Bangkok(Thailand) on 6 Feb 2008, in Singapore and Malaysia on 7 Feb 2008. But the question is Who will watch it on chinese lunar new year date actually? Well, we’ll see.

Chow plays a man who lives in a partly demolished house. He takes in a homeless boy (who is actually played by a girl, Xu Jiao). Whether the semi-demolished house and the homeless boy are on Earth, or on the alien planet is not clear. As Chow’s character can’t afford to buy a toy for the child, he finds a makeshift toy in the garbage and brings it back to his “son”. The toy is actually an alien and the aliens are desperate to get it back.

In Jakarta, may be you have noticed many big signboard promoted by Sony Ericsson mobile phone with CJ7 wallpaper in its phones.

Sun Buys MySQL

As usual, a good thing might turn worse in wrong hand. As Sun Microsystems plans to buy MySQL AB for USD 1 billion (yes, b, not m) you might think what the future is. According to Sun, MySQL market domination is around 80% while Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle take less than 10%.

Major Open-source MySQL Database Server users are small to middle companies in which budget is consideration. Since MySQL has reached version 5, it is very mature and stable not to mention its speed and reliability.

The purchase will be closed in Q3 or Q4 this year,we just can pray that MySQL is in the correct hand.

Movie Review: 1408

My rating: 9 of 10 stars

For the purpose of this movie, it has successfully scared me of the cineplex sofa. Yes this film is a thriller as well as a ghost movie. So make sure you watch it in a theatre with good sound, or bring your girlfriend for a free hug. The story was written by Stephen King in his novel, and played by John Cussack and Samuel L. Jackson. 1408 is a hotel room number. It was said that no one was able to stay for more than an hour. So in exactly one hour you will be shock and scared till your last piece of shit. I’ll recommend you to watch it. Actually it has been released in USA on June 2007 but somehow screened in Indonesia started on January 2008.

1408 the movieMichael Enslin’s a talented writer who left behind the world of textured fiction to pen a series of pulp books on haunted locations. Currently at work on his latest project, Ten Nights in Haunted Hotel Rooms, Enslin (John Cusack) comes across a postcard warning him to stay away from the Dolphin Hotel’s room 1408. Curiosity piqued, he begins researching the Dolphin and quickly discovers an unusual number of grisly deaths have occurred in the hotel’s suite 1408.

No one is allowed to stay in 1408 by order of the hotel’s manager, Gerald Olin (Samuel L Jackson). But Enslin, after much pushing and prodding, gets his way and is handed the room’s old-fashioned key (magnetized cards malfunction in 1408’s door…spooky…). After settling into the suite, Enslin – a non-believer – at first tries to make light of the room’s quirky little attributes. But just as he settles in, the room stops playing nice and treats Mr. Enslin to a display of its horrific best.

Creating GMail-like interface in Lotus Domino

As an IBM Lotus Domino Consultant a.k.a Developer, I have been spending almost 8 years in developing Domino Applications. My skill kept improving project after project. Until my age stop me, so in 2007 I don’t see myself improving nor learning new thing. Most of my time wasted in watching DVD or sleeping, yeah.. quite a busy year.

Reading Ed Brill introduction about WLM – Web Link Mail created by an Italian company, which could develop an NSF Mail Template that mimics GMail Interface, just open my eyes that I have been left behind the technology: CSS, AJAX, WebService, and the list keep adding each quarter.

Yes, you can try this WLM from its site, use trial username and password will bring you into its GMail-like interface. Some text is still in Italian but you can understand it quite easily. And wow, I believe you’ll love its clean interface, a bit better than Mail7.ntf but Domino Web Access still the best incorporating Mail and Calendar.

Link It WLM

By reading its promo page, I think Link Group product is a commercial template. It is not a free template for download. Okay, that makes you learn harder right?

Indosiar’s Mamamia Show sucks

Spending my time in home in night lately, trying to find some sort of tv entertainment, finally arrive in Indosiar channel. After inspecting from monday to thursday, it seems that Indosiar is really going to bankrupt. From 19.00 to 23.00 everyday they only show Mamamia programme, and it really goes nowhere.

I can say that the concept, host, jury: all are sucks. Just wonder why people keep watching this channel every night, but after switching to other channels, I can say that we don’t have any better channel, except TransTV and Trans7.

What do you think?
