March 17, 2009 iPhone

Today I was sent a review copy of the iPhone application called Finger, developed the Hong Kong company duo Headnix and BeansBox. From the name you will guessed that this application involves your finger, you will be correct. Finger is an ingenious application that takes advantage of the iPhone’s input methods allowing the user to enter [...]

Chinese Standards in Hong Kong

January 24, 2009 Observation

Today my mother showed me this free Chinese New Year poster (Fai Chun, Spring Couplets) she saw in a local newspaper (Apple Daily, Jan. 23, 2009). Even though my Chinese is not that good, I too notice the mistake in the poster, which had been distributed throughout Hong Kong. Are the standards of our young [...]

影評: 大搜查之女

My Rating: 睇完套戲，有很多似曾相識的感覺…「Sex and the City」加「証人」混合版？我覺得「大」這套戲的題材同「証人」差不多，都係講綁架，可能睇咗「証人」無幾耐啦，同埋我實在睇咗好多次Sex and the City啦。「大」戲中4個女人的開場戲和戲中鄭秀文男友係藝術家醉心創作藝術品這部份實在勾起我腦海浮現Sex and the City部份類同的片段，所以有這樣的感覺…！「大」戲故事雖然簡單，你我都會估到故事結局，但故事的轉折點係幾吸引，亦有意外的幽默情節，確實有它特別之處，都值得買飛入場睇。 Rating Legend: Not to be missed Wait for the DVD Buy from iTunes Store Rent it on iTunes Waste your time elsewhere

影評: 地球停轉日

December 28, 2008 Movie Review

My Rating: 剛剛睇完《地球停轉日》，故事內容非常簡單，但故事背後卻帶出深深的教訓，有警醒的作用，希望每個人睇完戲後除了讚賞其特技效果外，能夠自我反省。若愛我們的下一代，愛身邊的人，愛我們住緊的地球，請不要再自私！ Rating Legend: Not to be missed Wait for the DVD Buy from iTunes Store Rent it on iTunes Waste your time elsewhere

Movie Review: 証人

My Rating: 剛剛睇完《証人》，一散場就叫好…好久都未試過睇完港產片就叫好，上次叫好是睇完《無間道》。＂証人＂情節拍得好細緻，好緊湊，前呼後應，睇得出拍得好有Heart,一些都無諗過當觀眾低能，特技效果”正”，每一個演員都是好戲之人，特別係謝霆鋒，張家輝，智叔。未睇套戲之前都聽說影評讚好才去睇，詁唔到真係咁好睇，超水準之作，港產片真是掂的。 Another late addition in Vinko’s Must See Movies list.
