Charriol celebrates 30th anniversary with new collections
Label(s):
Last week, I was in Singapore for the 30th anniversary celebration and regional launch of Charriol, a family-owned and operated international luxury brand that specializes in fine Swiss timepieces, jewellery and accessories. Don't be embarrassed if it's the first time you've heard of Charriol 'cause I, too, hadn't heard of it before being invited to this media event. Now what was an entertainment blogger like myself doing there? Well I had never really checked out luxury products in my life ('cause I know I can't afford it) so I thought why not?

Fast & Furious 6 | Movie review
Label(s):
Release Date in Malaysia: 23 May 2013
Rated: 18
Genre: Action
Running Time: 130 minutes
Director: Justin Lin
Cast: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez
Synopsis: Agent Hobbs enlists the aid of Dom and team to help bring a rival gang, led by Owen Shaw, to justice. In exchange for clear records, they must put an end to their schemes, no matter how personal the cost. Building on the worldwide blockbuster success of Fast Five and taking the action, stunts and narrative to even greater heights, Fast & Furious 6 sees director Justin Lin back behind the camera for the fourth time.
Verdict: If I hear anyone saying that this film is awesome in front of my face, I'd be tempted give that person a roundhouse kick. It is the worst Fast & Furious instalment since Tokyo Drift. Besides having a horrible excuse for a plot, this sequel also has the most overtly untallying and unrealistic scenes. Even Gina Carano's MMA abilities are toned down here just so that her opponent stands a chance on screen. This movie would only be watchable if cars, chicks, jokes and explosions are enough to entertain you. But if you prefer a film with smart plot, less corny script and quality action, Fast & Furious 6 is definitely not for you.

Vitor Belfort's spinning heel kick that knocked out Luke Rockhold
Label(s):
A few hours ago on the main event of UFC on FX, Vitor Belfort pulled a stunning spinning heel kick which dropped his opponent Luke Rockhold and after a few follow up punches, the referee stopped the fight at 2.30 mins in the first round, declaring a knockout. What an spectacular move by the Brazilian! He wasn't just trying his luck, it really does seem like he was setting up for it the entire time. He tried it earlier in the round but missed then this time, he got nearer to Rockhold and quickly did the kick.
