Free brochure...

The film is a big-budget movie. The film and the novel, both are in different story. The ending part will be the shocking part in the movie. Don't expect too much for this film. The storyline of this film is way too fast. You need to read the novel to understand better. If you don't read, i'm sure you will be blurry and no idea what they are talking about. You need to understand what they are talking. It's a little bit dull, too much talking will make you fall asleep fast. The film have a few "cold" jokes to make the sleepy audience awake. Not much action scene for this film. I prefer "National Treasure". More action and riddles. Some riddles had been deleted to shorten the length of the film. Here a spoiler- according to the novel, there's suppose to have two cryptex, but there is only one cryptex in the movie. It's actually deleted one clue to make the film shorter.

Besides that, this movie is kinda "promoting type" of movie. Since i was given with a brochure along with the ticket. The brochure contains some facts and important places that i mention above. Promoting the places like Paris and London. Thanks to Leonarde Da Vinci's artworks. On the other hands, mobile industry (Sony Ericsson) also tried to promote their products by sponsoring mobile phones in this film. Other spoiler-according to the novel, Mr. Langdon suppose to get the answer from the library. But in the film, he get the answer by surfing the net via 3G mobile phone (W850). That's kinda high-tech. I think Dan Brown didn't have that "Smart" mind as the director of this film. I give this movie 3 out of 5.

Here a short-clip of w850, SE first slide phone.

Car Puncture

Few days ago, i just experienced another car puncture. Proof, there's goes again. Luckily, it was just near my house. So, i drove to a tyre shop ( pretty near my house ), lazy to change the damm tyre.

When i arrived at that shop, the techician directly got the tools and ready to work. The service sure was fast. Got $$, who's the idiot don't want? He took out the infected tyre and started to do his work. He said that the tyre got one small tiny damm hole. The rubber tube was spoiled too.
