I haven’t done movie reviews in a while. It’s mostly because I have tons to do and it is not my priority. But I miss freestyle blogging so much that tonight, I’m just itching to write!

I will try my best not to spoil the movie, but then again, there’s nothing to spoil really. This is history relived in the cinema. Actually – in one hell of a cinema, the IMAX!

If you want to watch it, I suggest you watch it at IMAX or anywhere with ATMOS. The sound quality will transport you back in time, taking you to the edge of your seat through the entire movie! There aren’t a lot of dialogues in this film, not even shaky chaotic action scenes (referring to Transformers films). All it has is good acting, supported by great cinematography and powerful scoring that will involve you in every scene.

I have been fascinated with World War I and II stories recently. This for a fact that I keep watching History Channel as my default and know now how the world changed because of this. Back in high school, I couldn’t care less. Maybe because I’m a visual person. Seeing the action through documentaries and movies like this, and playing Battlefield made WWI and WWII my favorite subject.

Let’s go back to the film. It is a must-watch, even if you are not a fan of war movies. The scenes, and the way they are filmed and directed will affect your deepest emotions one way or another. This also gives people, who have given up on humanity, a sense of hope. Watch and you’ll see.

Design aside, I want to review different Coloud headphones based on their performance too.

Packaging

The packaging is quite appealing at a triangular shaped plastic box.  This should give you what the headset in its totallity would look like.  You could choose from a plethora of colors: Green, Pink, Purple, Dark, Light and Bright colors.

Audio performance

For its price, it performs okay. I tested it on my iPod and my mobile phone. For someone who likes heavy bass to the point where it squeezes your heartbeat then this is not for you. But for those who want just the right amount of bass, this is okay.

Design and Comfort

Did I mention that their design is minimalist with an oomph? A simple gray tone color with a bright pink accent is a great fashion statement for me. Aside from that, both the Boom and the Knock headphones have pretty much a standard stance. I’m not much of a fan of over-the-head headphones so I’d still prefer the ear pieces.

Tangle-Free System

This is one feat I like.  They call this the Zound Lasso.   This is to get you to enjoy your music without being annoyed at the cords to puzzle the hell out of you.  It has a flat cord and I don’t know if it has an effect on the quality of the sound but like I said earlier about the audio performance, I’ve heard better… But then again, for the price, it’s decent.  On another thought, this flat cord can be wrapped aorund the Zound Lasso and secured firmly into place with the pliable angled plug.

Microphone and Remote

Each pair of the Coloud Headphones also comes equipped with a microphone and remote on the cord for picking up calls.  It works pretty smoothly when I tried it.

Since Christmas is coming, this would be a perfect gift to a techie or a music lover who also has a tack for good design.

Three Different Models

The Boom

The Boom is a rough and ready headphone designed to deliver your daily dose of music. Outside noise stays out thanks to the Boom’s closed construction, while minimal parts mean less weight on your head. The Boom’s sturdy frame is crafted to withstand the pressures of everyday listening and the Zound Lasso, together with the flat cable, protects against tangles during transport.

The Knock

With a robust and streamlined design, Knock is ergo- nomically designed to provide non-stop comfort. It’s an ultra lightweight headphone that’s strong enough to withstand the pressures of everyday listening. It delivers a sound that is clear and distinct and comes with the patent-pending Zound Lasso that holds the flat cable in place, so that your cord won’t get tangled during transport.

The Pop

The Pop is a highly durable headphone that’s perfect to bring with you wherever you go. With a direct sound and powerful bass, the Pop eliminates any audio pollution around you, allowing you to focus on your music. The angled ear buds are ergonomi- cally designed to give you a better in-ear fit, and comes with S, M and L replacement caps so that they always sit securely in your ears. Together with the Pop’s flat cord, the Zound Lasso is our solution for a tangle-free life.

So far, I am very satisfied with my new point-and-shoot camera!  I tried the manual settings which is way much easier to set than an LX3 or LX5, but I decided to set everything in “Auto” mode and see how intelligent the camera is without me manipulating it.

The only Intelligent Auto I trust so far is that of Panasonic Lumix, but the Canon S100 is not bad!

Here are the photos, unedited, except for the Watermarks I put.  You be the judge 🙂

Near Sunset

I love how colorful the sky is

Another Sky shot.

Twilight shot… spot the moon!

Indoor, low-light shot.  Still reflects vibrant colors, due to the f 2.0

again, no edits.. and it’s pretty dim in the room so good job I say!

I also tested Canon S100’s video which is at 1080p FULL HD (an upgrade to the S95). Check out the video here

Ok testing the picture I just added here… Thought, I can’t seem to find the button to position that picture at the center…

There you go, it seemed to be successful!  Looks like I’m even gonna be blogging (even online) with this writer thing!!! Here’s the screenshot of my writer application as I write this post:

There you go see you get to Edit, Preview it and view the “source” where you put your html codes.

You get to put tags down there and select options 😛

on the right bar you could get to see some stuff related to your webposts and you could even re-edit your post already published as writer retrieves it again for you so that you could make some adjustments and can post it again.

Voiala!!! It’s just easy as A-B-C and it’s so user-friendly, you’ll have no problem with your blogging at all. 

I think I’ll be posting stuff via this from now on!  Enjoy Windows Live!
