The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty Movie Review

To be honest, I was not really interested with the movie in the first sight of the poster as it seems that the show was boring, but fortunately my girl friend wanted to catch this movie before the screening ends.

Movie Information
The story plot was from James Thurber's 1939 classic story from a day-dreamer, Walter Mitty (direct and star Ben Stiller) who escapes his anonymous life by disappearing into a world of fantasies filled with heroism, romance and action. When his current working company, the "Life" magazine had a merger, his job and co-worker, Cheryl Melhoff (Kristen Wiig) are in jeopardy because of a lost film No. 25 which he thought his long working parter photographer, Sean O'Connell (Sean Penn) did not actually send him and he embarked on a journey to track him down.

Imagination VS Reality
The show mixed the elements of imagination from Walter Mitty's mind and his real embarkment to track down the photographer. Though in the first few scenes was hilarious, but the later part of the movie when he was on the journey has been a confusion if what he has done was just his imagination or reality.

Great Scene !
In Singapore, you would not even had a chance to get a great overview of the entire landscape without a building (we are quite over building at the moment). Simply loved the sights of the sea, Greenland, Himalayas and also the Snow Leopard.

Conclusion
My money is definitely well spent on this movie. The plot I would say that my tickets and pop corn are well spent and though I did slipped off into my dreaming state for a while (maybe I was too tired the night before), but the movie did refresh me on the daily life that we are living in right now, and the interesting things that we are missing out in our life. Rating 8/10

The Legend of Hercules Movie Review

Movie Information

 King Amphitryon's (Scott Adkins) thirst for power and warmongering has disgusted Queen Alcmene who prays Hera, wife of Zeus for guidance. The Queen agreed to bore the son of Zeus, a half-god and half-man blessed with extraordinary strength in order to save the world and her people. While the King was celebrating his victory, Zeus visited the Queen and soon gives birth to Hercules, but was named Alcides (Kellan Lutz) by the King. 20 years later, Hercules fell in love with Hebe (Gaia Weiss), princess of Crete. Jealousy grown in his older brother, Iphicles (Liam Garrigan) and ask the King to bethroth Hebe as her wife and sending Hercules to Eqypt to a planned assassination with a small army of soldiers.

Hercules went through slavery with Captain Sotiris (Liam McIntrye) and fooled the vicious promotor (Stefan Shterev) to send them to Greece in order to fight an arena battle with six undefeated gladiators for fame and money. While Hercules defeated the six gladiators, Captain Sotiris gathered the rest of the army under the King to be under his command after the King began using mercenaries to demand money from smaller villages.

A fight broke out between the King and Hercules which eventually Hercules prevailed in the war, but losing his loved one, Hebe, while trying to prevent his Iphicles from hurting him. A prophecy that Hera has mentioned to him in a rundown house.
     


The Six Undefeated Gladiators Died Too Fast ?

I think this part of the movie was quite unjustifiable since it has been said that they have been undefeated, killing them was much easier in the movie than Hercules fighting in the ring cage and two monsters earlier on in the movie. Maybe they are rushing to end the show soon.

Conclusion

Good movie for men who loves the fight, women for Hercules' great body. The movie was rather fast pace and fighting was throughout the movie that keep you out from boredom. However, throughout the show, Zeus did not show face at all. Weird. Rating: 7/10

How to Make Blogger Labels as Dropdown Menu

Blogger label widget is essential in every blog as it is one of the way of categorising all your content and making sure that it is targeted to the right audience. However, as you grow your blog, your labels list start to grow and finally becoming such a long list on your sidebar that leaves you no space to monetise your blog with adsense ads ? A dropdown label menu will solve your problem.

My right sidebar is packed with labels
Creating a dropdown label menu is not that difficult as it seems and it only takes perhaps, five minutes for it to be completed. I will be using one of my blogs, Cranepedia , a blog for construction mobile crane as an example how to do it.

In order to change your label into a dropdown menu, you must first add the labels into the blog or the html codes would not be shown in later part when you are trying to amend the html codes.


Let Get Started !

Step 1: Go to Blogger and click on Template

Step 2: On the Template page, click "edit HTML"

Step 3: Hit Ctrl + F and type Label1. You will find the coding in no time. Now you have to replace the following code.






Step 4: Highlight the code in GREEN below and replace entire line. After it is done, click Save Template !

<b:widget id='Label1' locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:title'>
<h2><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<select style='width:100%' onchange='location=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;'>
<option>Click to choose a label</option>
<b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'>
<option expr:value='data:label.url'><data:label.name/>
undefined<data:label.count/>)
</option>
</b:loop>
</select>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</div>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>
This is the end product of the customisation.

If you need to change the width of the dropdown menu, just go back to template edit, Ctrl + F Label1, change the 100% to any percentage or px.

If you does not like the dropdown menu, just delete it from the Labels from the Layout and apply a new Label, it will restore to the original state.
