after reading jiaaqi's blog ( i didn't know she has a blog!), i realised she had read the book too. kind of expected. and she read it like 10 yrs ago? not to be outran by her, i need to make a confession now. i have actually read the bk during my K2 days......the children's version lol .hahaha....its a simplified bk or i dono wat la. but won't consider it as reading coz i was more interested in the illustrations. mind-provoking. instantly my imaginations went wild when i laid my eyes on em.
I have to disagree on Jiaqi's point that the movie matches HG Wells' description of the alien itself. As I've said, the alien in the movie is totally new.wasnt supposed to look humanoid. and just for an extra bit of info, the aliens came from Mars (Martians) and they reproduce by.........budding! yep, as in the offspring grows from the parent via a small extension, then breaks off when the time is right. cool rite.
The alien ships are spot on with the writer's imagination though. or may even be better off with the realistic CGI and graphics.
i dont mind watching it again with u guys. nj and pioneer frens.
AND I'VE GOTTEN MY HANDS ON THE BACKSTREET BOYS CD.
my cousin brought it alll the way from Dubai. so gd of her. the genre's is a bit different, a few songs sound oddly like BBMak's,many still uphold the distinctive 'Backstreet Boys style', the tunes are no longer easy to remember, and im beginning to think the Millenium Album is just another one-album-wonder (plus the previous album). so my verdict: disappointing. don't expect to hear repeats of feats like 'The One' or the 'Shape of My Heart' or wateva. but the songs are still nice to the ear. they're just not....rememberable...haha does tis word even exist?
