Christian Louboutin Ad Campaign S/ S 2010

Fairy tales have become so popular that fashion houses use those much more often than we expected. Hermes, Louis Vuitton and now Christian Louboutin have turned to this theme and created their campaigns on the basis of kind fairy tales we all hear while we are little children.

Shoes, sandals and boots have become fairy tale characters. They play roles in Alice in Wonderland with its White Rabbit and Mad Hatter, Cinderella and her white mice, Thumberlina with her colorful butterflies; and even Mermaid and her underwater castle.

What was the meaning of the campaign? Maybe, the creators wanted us, Louboutin fans, to both enjoy wearing perfect footwear and feel like grand princesses from a fairy tale?

The BlackBerry Pearl 9105 has surely left the QWERTY lovers thirsty with a T9 keypad in the works. What does matter is that we have this cool live picture of the keypad and it looks like the early reports of the device having a T9 keypad are pretty true. What we did notice however is that the keypad may not be the SureType one. We’ve got to wait for more speculation, specs and images to come by. Be content with this picture till then.

Date Night Movie Review @ JustVim

Synopsis: Action-comedy maestro Shawn Levy, the director of the blockbuster "Night at the Museum" franchise, teams up with two of the comedy world's biggest talents, Steve Carell ("The 40 Year Old Virgin," "The Office") and Tina Fey ("Baby Mama," "30 Rock," "SNL") for an adventure that turns a run-of-the-mill married couple's date upside down -- way upside down, in DATE NIGHT.

The Justvim crew feels that this is a competent and engaging little comedy that delivers on its premise without demanding more from the audience than their enjoyment. Fey and carrel did a wondrous job in entertaining and keeping their fake on-screen marriage a lovely joy to witness. It was almost like experiencing how awkward every foible they made and how hilarious every joke they crack.

Unapologetically funny but pathetically realistic, we are hoping enough couples chose it as their date night fodder so the naturally entertaining Carell and Fey get to do it all over again. It was worth the laugh at certain bits of the movie, with its incredibly frank and blunt blunders, that was perfect for a few guffaws.

One minute its forced slapstick, the next it's a bullet-riddled car chase--and neither could prevent a wave of laughter and giggles from the audience behind and around us. The scene where renown poet common made a comment “get up, now” sounded absolutely and eerily similar when carrel imitated him at the Manhattan bistro. It was a plus scene that raised the hilarity level to almost radiantly toxic.

The crew will admit that we laughed out loud several times during this film, for it plain stupidity and absurd motions at times, and the blunt foibles committed by the characters on-screen. Special mention to the crazy pole-dancing ceremony the couples did for the corrupt Politian and his broom, come on! Who brings a broom to a nightclub with all the chicks and the alcohol?

Both Carell and Fey do a great job working with the rest of the cast, but it was the realistic humour and absurd mistakes that made the film score with most of the peeps.

Somehow, in an act of sheer alchemy, this silly, preposterous, absurd story has been turned into one of the funniest movies seen by so many in many months. Call it weird or karma, but this film is sure the bucks you pay to get in the cinema, if you are looking for some laughs and spending time with good company.

The best part about it? They are always armed with an innocence, a clever quip, and a handy escape route. In other words, it sounds like a big action film with built in coincidences that are sure to annoy the hardened action junkie. Fortunately, this is a romantic comedy with an action component. Sure, it feels familiar, but it is delivered with a couple of familiar faces doing what they do best.

Turning in its share of laugh out loud moments, Date Night, a return to the comedy caper films of years ago, owes much to the wit and sharp improved skills of stars Fey and Carell. Naturally some scenes were choppy and cliche, like the sudden entrance of the cops at the end, guess the director yelled “wrap it up boys!”, but overall, it was a realistically beautiful film that depicts a lot of reality and the ups and downs of an urban couple in today’s society.

Through their conquests, they faced real, hardening, touching and romantic issues that tested, strengthened and crystallized their unconditional love for each other. Seeing scenes like the broken but deeply romantic mr and mrs triplehorns tongue-kissing experience, the talk in the ridiculously-wasted audi R8 sports car, witnessing their own friends, happily married couples splitting after years (…just excellent room-mates…) and hallbrook grant’s amazingly hot Israeli girlfriend, perfectly chiselled body and extraordinary lifestyle, really makes you wonder about your own life.

Go figure, have a beer and chill out for a minute. Stop the stressing, stop the dissing, love for bit.

Peace

Education Talk @ JustVim

Hey all,

A lil' something for all of ya to chew on, the National Education system in Singapore.
Now, it is no surprise that Education today is overrated, under-appreciated and overwhelming these days, not only for the pupils, but the teachers too.

I mean kids go to school daily, with CCAs, Performances, Projects, CIP, Lab work and so much more on top of their normal school workload. Top schools are so packed, we are churning out information robots every year---by the way, we have wikipedia already.

The ugly truth is Society don't really need hardworking, hardcore, hardwired scholars. Instead, we need innovative, inventive and ingenious creative-thinkers who can build new concepts, revise old ideas and challenge the stigmas we face today.

Brighter, intellectually-inclined kids get the goodies in the schools, nail all the brownie points, tend to snatch all the bursaries, awards, opportunities and also thick scholarly glasses.

The less adept will be mistreated with lack of guidance, lesser opportunities, slacker workload and have more affinity with the Discipline Master's Magical Cane.


No no, please we are not comparing the streams nor labeling categories here, The JV Crew would simply like to say, what will be will be. You cannot manufacture a superstar nor give birth to talent. The process is more arduous,discombobulating, iffy and dangerous than you can ever imagine.

For all you hardworking peeps out there, stay in school, read more books, slurp more caffeine, study hard for your exams and stop memorizing essays for god's sake!

For all the slacking, less energetic and carefree scholars, stop skipping school, stay away from cigarettes and gangs, join a sport and remember, there are worser things in life than being expelled!

Mark Twain said he never allowed schooling to interfere with his education.

We say, get a grip, get a life and get busy livin' or get busy dyin'.

Peace out.
