Delicatessen

This is not the first time I've watched a French film but this film is different than any other film that I've watched.This film is made out of a few genre and it is very original on how the movie was made.This movie starts with Louison (Dominique Pinon),an ex-clown that went to France to work as a  maintenance man which brings him to a strange world inside the building he's working in.There are a lot of meanings behindevery scene in this movie.This movie is dark but humorous with a little suspense and horror but it is an enjoyable movie.


Media Diversion


There are a few way of diversion such as stimulation view which is to avoid boredom or to find emotional and intellectual stimulation. And then there is  relaxation view,which people usually used as a way to overcome stress and emotions release,where people usually use to express emotions such as the thrill that you get when you play horror games.The media use the diversion theory to shape the society by giving them the idea of how they should live their life.The diversion theory does bring negative effects via extensive amount of time spent on televisions,internet,etc..

Genre in Media


When a person come up to you with a question ''What is your favourite genre?'',what is the first thing that came into your mind?What is Genre?To me,genre is a type or class of programs example action,horror and romance.It is how to specify the type of programs to be more specific and this helps people to express themselves.Genre does not only fall under songs,it also include movies,shows and books.Genre is a very important thing because this is how producers,directors,authors and artists recognise the genre that the audience are into.

The Hangover 2 (Comedy)

Since there are tonnes of songs out there today,genre are used to differentiate the type of music.As we are aware,there are so many genre and sub-genre for songs.Pop,Pop Rock,Jazz,House,Metal,Dubstep-These are all popular genres that can be found today.Every songs are categorized under a genre depends on how the music sounds like.

John Mayer (Pop and Blues Rock)

Books had been one of the oldest way to spread information around and not surprising if books started the use of genre


Hollow Skull (Horror)


Movie Review

Have you ever imagined about controlling your dream?Not just that,imagined having a dream inside your dream.That is the main theme from the movie Inception (2010),directed by Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight Trilogy,The Prestige).The movie is about Domm Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio),a skilled thief,the best in the art of extracting valuable secrets from deep within the subconcious during the dream state.His work revolves around the dangerous worl of corporate espionage,which made him an international fugitive,which put him on the run but this will all change when Saito (Ken Watanabe) offers him a final job which (if he succeed) can put an end to his years of being on the run.


In order to complete the final job,Cobb had to assemble a team which consist of Point man,Arthur (Jospeh Gordon-Levitt), Architect,Ariadne (Ellen Page), Forger,Eames (Tom Hardy), Chemist,Yusuf (Dileep Rao) and Tourist,Saito (Ken Watanabe).

The Team :

 Dom Cobb - The Extractor


Arthur - The Point Man 

Ariadne - The Architect 

 Eames - The Forger

 Yusuf - The Chemist

 Saito - The Tourist

This is the kind of movie that would make you feel that it worth every penny spent to watch it either on cinema or DVD.This movie is beautifully made with a lot of fresh movie scene rarely seen in movies these days.The special effects are realistic,the storyline is interesting,the acting was great.One of the best scene in the movie is the rotating hallway fight scene between Arthur and security guards.

How The Joker kills The Dark Knight

Stoked with the coming of The Dark Knight Rises in cinema,I took my time to watch back Batman Begins and The Dark Knight to recall back what had happened in the first two movie of this Christopher Nolan wonderful trilogy and,I came to a conclusion that the second movie of this trilogy,The Dark Knight was the best movie from the trilogy.This is mostly because of the incredible acting  from the late Heath Ledger as The Joker,Ledger's version of Joker is a psychopath that doesn't know fear and he is a very dangerous mastermind.He seeks pleasure by killing innocent people and doing things as if its a game.


Heath Ledger as The Joker
``Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.``- Alfred Pennyworth,The Dark Knight (2008)
 In his battle against The Joker,Batman puts his full effort to catch The Joker but his plans was always a step or two behind The Joker.The Joker's idea can be seen by the make up that he wears.He drew a smile across his lips and white paint all over his face and black eye shadow around his eyes as a motive to scare people.He addressess himself as The Joker,showed that he sees rules as a joke and he wants a create a world without rule,saying its a sensible way to live in this world.

``The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules.``- The Joker,The Dark Knight (2008)
The Joker fenomena were so strong,that people actually looked up to him,seeing him as a hero instead of a villain due to the messages that he gives from the movie.One of the example was the Colorado Massacre on the screening night of The Dark Knight Rises.The gunmen claimed that he was The Joker.The Joker presence in The Dark Knight were so powerful that it affects the plotting of The Dark Knight Rises.
