Brilliant taste of art and comedy!

Ratatouille, this time I spelled properly, is a great film. From the awesome choreography of opening scene of Remy trying to escape the threat imposed by a top gourmet kitchen to the ending where a critic explaining the art and philosopy of criticising other people's work... I was spellbound at every second. The acting, gestures and creative that goes into every frame is simply pure genius! Shame on you Disney and Dreamworks for producing low and cheap humor films all the time! I guess they took the easy way out, just like we all do sometimes. That's why we need studio like Pixar, who stands for the truth, and prevails as long as there is still good appreciate of great art.

The short animation that were presented before the movie is Lifted, as expected. A story about an amateur alien who is learning how to abduct human, hehe. Pure genius on how they setup the whole thing. This short is really different that other Pixar's. It focuses on just humor, snappy timing and attitude. It works and its real funny. Its not your typical short filled with moral values, its just comedy. Thats why its a refreshing take from the usual Disney/Pixar stuff.

Well, its been a great night at the Red Rock Cinemas.

New host, same blog, different post

Fuh, I am glad the web hosting transfer went smoothly. I am curious to see how Godaddy host is any good or not. My last host, Sherweb has been smooth and great. My website, blog and email is back up now. Also my wife is creating her website too, at www.arielws.com, which should be up soon. Will let you know.

Guess what I will be watching tonight? Ratatatoille of course! I spelled that from my head, ya know, hehe. Pretty excited actually, every reviews gave it an A.

Hey June!

Time is flying by, been working hard on Universe at War game and its looking better each day! Its crunch time, so I won't be updating my blog too much. I am finally getting a hang of animating with Max, but I still not fond of it. Its just a tool... (reminding myself).

Its 103 degrees today in the afternoon. Heard its worse next month. Anyway, I hate the heat, but love the sunshine. Seattle has gorgeous summer, but a dread rest of the grey year. I guess there is no perfect city, and the grass is always... shorter? Its interesting I have been having lots of conversation about living in Vegas lately. Its a plastic city with no culture or real 'living'. Everyone tries to come here, for job, personal, sins or getaway from other places and then leave. Not much of natives, so to speak. Most people will say, I won't stay here forever. But some ended up do. Some love it to death. I guess its normal for every other city. I am only here for Petroglyph. If not, no way dude. But we never know what could happen. Maybe 10 years later, I am still blogging about living in Sin City? Tax is lower here though. Thats nice.

Meanwhile, on personal front, I just went to Grand Canyon for the first time. Me, my wife, Ariel and 2 of our good friends from Seattle, Juan and Natasa went together. They visited us in Vegas and we had such a blast. Hit my picasa web for photos soon! Grand Canyon is absolutely breathtaking. We managed to wake up early at 4.50am to see sunrise. I guess it must be popular because it was packed with people that early! Oh, it was also brrr... freeeezing cold at 30 degrees. Couple hours later, the temp went up to 80s, talk about desert weather.

Better go to zzz, its 2.32am now.
