motogp says "looks good in 3D" about Beowulf (2007)

motogp — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 04:30:30 GMT

This is animation isn't the best animation but worth watching in 3D. Many of the camera angles and shots are tailor-made with 3D projection in mind. The motions of the figures appeared jilted and disconnected at times. Not really fluid and dynamic motions. You'll be constantly reminded that this is an animation rather than real live action movie. The scenery is good and pretty. But the expressions of the characters aren't quite up to par. The details of facial expressions are mostly stiff and lacking. The story is nothing surprising or spectacular. The action scenes are pretty good because fast movements of characters and camera angles can hide the flaws in motion fluidity and lack of facial details. This is movie is worth watching only if you can see it in 3D. The digital quality is sure an usual experience for movie watchers.

motogp says "comfortable" about Prince Nfs Indoor Ii Court for Men

motogp — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 04:21:19 GMT

I use these shoes for squash. These shoes really fit my foot well. There's absolutely no breaking-in period for me on these shoes. This may not be true for others. But I really find these shoes very comfortable. They give me very good grip on squash courts and they're light and agile. But this version is a lot less durable than the last version nfs 1. The top of the shoe feels thinner than nfs 1 and are more quickly worn out. The synthetic leather top of nfs 1 is pratically impossible to worn out. The side of the rubber sole of this nfs 2 also appears to be thinner than its predecessor. I drag my toe when I lunge for shots, so the tip of my shoe gets rubbed against the floor often. My nfs 1 withstood this dragging much better than my nfs 2. I replaced my nfs 1 because the bottom treads were mostly gone. But for my nfs 2, the gum rubber on the tip of the shoe has thinned down significantly while the bottom treads are still 80% intact. So this version is definitely less durable.

motogp says "very good racquet" about Dunlop Ice Tour Squash Racquet

I've used many different squash racquets and by far this is the best one I've come across. It feels head light and yet very powerful without having to use too much effort in hitting the ball. You get more control on volleys and avoid over-hitting your shots. It's also easier to dig out those back-corner shots. It's a very good racquet for those who lacks the power to hit a killer power shots. It gives the extra power you need to hit a hard return and yet you don't lose the feel as the long-string racquets usually feel. Very precise feeling in hitting drop shots and volleys. It's a good racquets for intermediate to advance players. Perfect for those who aren't so much of a hard-hitter but more of a placement-control player.

motogp says "works well" about philips - MP3 Gear FM Transmitter

motogp — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 01:09:42 GMT

The G2G302C transmitter is a full spectrum FM transitter. It comes with a retractable 3.5mm stereo headphone connector. It has backlit lcd panel and 0.1 Mhz step. Works pretty well with my mp3 player and my car radio even in big metropolitan area with lots of FM channels. The full FM spectrum lets you search a good clean frequency. It also comes with a 12V cigarette lighter power adapter for use in cars. The transmitter connects to this 12V adapter via a female USB port. So you can also connect the transmitter to your computer or wall socket with a male-to-male USB cable and send musci files on your computer to your stereo. Works pretty well but could block some buttons on your car when plugged into the 12V outlet....

motogp says "pretty good" about Samsung - 40 inch LCDTelevision

motogp — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 01:51:11 GMT

Got it when it was on sale at CC a while ago. So far it's doing a pretty decent job. The colour of picture is good in HD. The built-in speakers are on par with TV within this price range. It's even as good as any cheap home theater systems under $110. It's very user friendly in terms of setting up. Only took me 15 min to have everything setup and the majority of the time was spent on letting the TV automatically scan the 100+ channels. Day to day usage is also very easy. Remote is straightforward and not confusing. I play with the colour adjustment function and was able to improve the picture quality quite a bit. A nice buy overall. Can't comment on reliability yet because it's still too new....
