2) Madagascar. From the producer of Shrek and Shark Tale, now comes a wacky tale of talking zoo animals led by a lion, a zebra, a hippo, and a bunch of psychotic penguins. The voices of Ben Stiller (Alex the Lion), Chris Rock (Marty the zebra), David Schwimmer (Melman the giraffe), and Jada Pinkett Smith (Gloria the Hippo) would definitely send viewers reeling with laughter.
I've read the spoiler in one of the Korean website and despite the broken English, I understand why this is one of the most loved Korean series in Asia. The whole series has 20 episodes which ran for 60 minutes each.
I'm just posting here the last episode. If you want a detailed account you might want to visit rainlee for the whole text and sbs.co.kr for photos. Just highlight the text to read it.
Paolo found out that Ryan eloped with Erica and tracked them down to Bali.
The next scene showed Ryan lying in bed with Erica. He told Erica that she is free to go anywhere as he can see the sadness in her eyes. Erica cried and told Ryan that she wanted to love him, but she can’t because she loves Paolo. Then Paolo walked into their room, with a gun. He shot Ryan and Erica. Ryan died immediately while Erica struggles for life, she told Paolo that she loves him. Paolo was shocked with what he had done; he walked to the beach and committed suicide with the same gun.

We incidentally watched The Interpreter at Gateway. Incidentally because the ticket girl misheard it as we argue if we're gonna watch The Pacifier or The Wedding Date. And gave us tickets to Nicole Kidman's film. I was hesitant at first because I've read from imdb it's under the category drama/thriller and I don't watch those kinds of movies. It turned out to be a really good film about an interpreter at the United Nations who started to fear for her life after she heard a voice in the head phone describing a would-be assassination of the Matobo President. She gets protection from a CIA agent (Sean Penn) who's dealing with the loss of her wife.
Nicole and Sean are very good actors and gave outstanding performances. Story-wise, the movie gives a strong message about corruption and genocide in Africa which the award-winning director Sydney Pollack (The Firm) had the sense to tone down so as not to sound too preachy and overtly political. Nicole has a different accent here and she speaks fluently in Ku, a South African dialect, invented solely for use in the film. Though a lot of people are debating whether Nic's accent is good or bad, saying she's relapsing in her native tongue which is Australian (her nationality is also another point of debate).
"In the right hallway, at the right time, all it takes is a whisper to tip the balance of power."
Movie trivia: The film was entirely shot in the United Nations Headquarters in New York, and Pollack had to talk to Kofi Annan to ask for permission to shoot at the General Assembly and at the Security Council chambers. (www.imdb.com)
(Definitely not. Boracay is simply amazing.)
1) I hate the word dude. I was blogrollin’ and I came by a blog with excessive usage of the word “dude”. It jerks my senses; just hearing it sandwiched in a sentence uttered by an officemate beats the hell out of me. Stop it dude sheesh
2) I am incapable of controlling my tear ducts. An officemate (not the one who utters dude) for several years is leaving, there’s no reason for me to cry and just ignored the thing the whole day. Before leaving, I decided to say hi, and we hugged then I cried.
3) I have international viewers. My hny told me that he showed the dancing hippo on my blog to the children at the conference in Jamaica, later on, everybody’s imitating the dance steps of the hippo and the dawg.
4) As I was searching for the word thank you in Nigerian, I discovered that English is their official language. Kudos to Google for saving my ass from embarrassment.
5) I love Hugh Jackman. I think Wolverine was created with him in mind.
6) I really want to study another language. I’m thinking which is easier: Italian or Japanese. And which would fit my sked next semester.
7) I am slowly maturing into a sensible adult. Someone in our office is utterly despicable (yes, that despicable for me to use such an adjective), instead of cursing her with all the expletives known to man, I caught myself praying. I sincerely prayed for that person to be enlightened and to live according to the teachings of the church and the religious org that person belongs to. Tsk so much for CFC ( I mean chlorofluorocarbon) *wink
