I learn swimming today
Well today I am finally learning how to swim. What did I discover? Swimming is hard. Apparently my back stroke is not prefect so I can’t move forward. That sucks. Need to continue to prefect my strokes.

Columbiana
A very simple action movie
What is it about?
A girl family gets killed and 5 years later she seeks revenge
The Good
The action scene are quite entertaining. The heroine is like a ninja
The backstory is close to 30 mins of the whole movie
The Bad
The end scene was a let down. There were not to big a firefight and the final boss death were underwhelming
The off parts with the boyfriend didn't do it for me.
No training montage which sucks
The Ugly
Doesn't it hurt walking around without wearing shoes?
The computer stuff is too far fetch but I get it due to the time restriction of the movie.
After Credits: No
Verdict: It's a good popcorn movie. Nothing much too it

Halo 2 Anniversary Edition
My first completed game of 2019
Game no: 313
Genre: FPS
Platform: Xbox One
Release Date: 2014 (Original version release on 2004) [Part of the Master Chief Collection]
What is it about?
The continuation adventures of Master Chief and his mission to stop the Covenant
What I liked?
Cut scenes are re-imagine with Xbox One graphics
The storyline is very interesting
Now you have missions where you play as the Arbiter. After the events of Halo, you need to prove yourself among the covenant
Plasma sword can cut everyone with one swoop
Weapons selection is varied but I end up using the shotgun and plasma guns
Now single handed guns can be dual-wielded. Which gives double the firepower
What I didn't liked?
The game is still pretty confusing. You will end up sometimes lost figuring out where to go next. There are no way points or points of interest. So you need to follow the trail of dead bodies.
Gone is the heavy machine gun and they replace it with the small machine gun.
Basically you only play as the Chief for 7 missions and the rest you play as the Arbiter. So the Chief storyline is not flesh out this much this season
I can imagine in 2004 everyone who finish the game were extremely frustrated since the game doesn't end rather stop abruptly waiting another 3 years for Halo 3
Shotguns are nerfed
Status: Finish the campaign.
Fun Factor: Is a very fun game if you enjoy shooting. The story is also makes you wanting to find out what will happen next.

Destination Wedding
The first movie of the year and its a funny
What is it about?
Two strangers met on a trip to a destination wedding.
The Good
This movie is just Keanu and Winona talking to each other for 90 minutes.
The bather is amazingly funny and sometimes dry
There are a lot different scene where they interact
The Bad
Sometimes they talk for two long and miss the mark on what is funny
The Ugly
Keanu bad habit was driving me nuts
After credits: No
Verdict: Not worth watching at cinema. Its a good streaming movie

The Meg
This movie is awesome because its batshit crazy
What is it about?
A group of explorer discover a shark that is thought to be extinct
The Good
This movie doesn't pretend to be serious and embrace the crazy which is the megaladon is here to cause a lot of chaos
The fish action is on point
This is actually to separate movies. I think the producers realized that the first scene was too short and they had to come up with a new storyline
Like the Chinese actors. Both are cute
The Bad
This is considered bad but its good.
A second bigger megaladon comes halfway in the movie
The near misses are borderline funny
Ruby Rose is underutilized
The billionaire that is in the category of dumb ways to die
The Ugly
Nothing since its a enjoyable popcorn movie
After Credits: No
Verdict: Worth watching since its a good time at the movie
