War of The Worlds
有没有试过一脚把一大堆蚂蚁踩死，这就是我刚看完的一部电影（中译：强战世纪？）带给我的感觉。先不论电影是不是合乎逻辑，不过，如果这部电影要带出的讯息是和平的可贵的话，我想它也已经成功了。当看见一大班人被屠杀的时候，在惊悚的同时，心里也有那么一点点的悲哀。难道一向称霸地球的人类如此不堪一击？非常可悲的是，人类目前可谓无电源无法生存，因为这样一切都被迫停顿，这不是可悲是什么？
再者，当Ray(Tom Cruise饰）带着他的儿女驱车逃难的时候，无论人类社会如何文明，如何先进，还是会在这种时刻曝露出只顾自己的劣根性。人们可以为了自己的安危不惜牺牲他人的生命，这比被外星人侵略更加悲哀。当然，我们可以很乐观的说，这只是电影内的情节。但是如果很不幸，我国被人侵略，那么同样的情节会不会从荧幕搬到现实，而我们不再是观众，而是演员？当然，没有人希望战争的发生，无论是“合法”还是“野蛮”的（在我来看，无论理由多么富丽堂皇，战争还是发生了，所谓“救难”只是那些高官为了预防自己失眠的理由），也就是这样，才会产生如此的故事来提醒我们事事以和为贵。（仅此哀悼前几天伦敦被恐怖袭击受害的人士）
当然，我也稍有提到一些不合理的地方。当然，这些并不重要，反正一部电影开拍的目的只是为了传达一些讯息，还有提供我们娱乐的一个管道。第一个不合理的当然是整个故事的主线情节，有什么理由外星人在人类出现前就打算毁灭人类的文明世界？再者，我不明白为什么人类文明那么让它们妒忌（前几天的袭击很明显告诉大家，人类的所谓文明也不过如此而已）。最后，男主角Ray的儿子Robbie也未免太大命了一点吧，明明是一片火海，却看起来毫发无伤……怎么搞的！？

e-learning?
Recently our English for Science unit’s lecturer posted an issue about e-learning at the college’s “e-learning” system (which is actually a blackBoard Learning System that is also used by many other colleges) and we are required to write a response to that issue. She also provided a link to a page that clearly explains about “e-learning”. Until now, I have really no idea on this issue since I am still reading that webpage while I am posting this.
If only looking at my college’s so called “e-learning” system, I really don’t like it much because it is not as useful as I expected. Blackboard Learning System is no doubt a good system handling “e-learning” things but it is not being well used at my college. I myself prefer looking for information at another websites rather than the e-learning system because there are almost nothing provided by our lecturer through the system except for some lecture notes / tutorial questions / assignment questions etc. I have a friend studying at another college and I heard from him that he can get a lot more things through their college BlackBoard System besides notes / assignments etc. And the participation of his lecturer is much better compared to my college. I found that sometimes it is very rare to see any lecturer to join in our discussion in the discussion board and probably this is why Blackboard System is not popular in my college.
But these are only some problems that only occur in my college, and this doesn’t mean that they will happen in other colleges as well. Therefore these cannot be the only points in my response to the issue, *sigh*. Now I would need to start thinking what to write and post them this Friday since I do not have much spare time because the units I took in this semester are quite tough (at least 4 credit hours) and I am definitely don’t wish the same thing happened as the “Introductory to Discrete Mathematics” unit last semester.

道德人性真的非黑即白麼？
不知道是不是那個角色太深如民心，我剛開始寫這篇文章還以爲這是我第一次看Hugh
WolverineJackman演時裝片。可是因爲實在太好奇了，這傢伙不可能近幾年只是靠Wolverine過活的（事實上其實他應該可以），所以翻一翻才發現還有這部Real Steel（看過但沒寫影話就是）。之前暑假檔我錯過了讓他大紅的角色自傳片續集，但是跟朋友看Riddick時看到這部片子的預告片正好對胃口所以一直都在念着要去看。 -
算命•一
很多人很喜欢预知未来，于是自古以来算命一直以不同的形式存在于普罗大众的生活当中。可是当你变成了一个可以预知未来的时候，你会有什么感觉？只是，这里说的并不是什么今年财运会如何亨通之类虚无缥缈的算命。裴达是个能够真的“算命”，能够预知一个陌生人生死的一个人。而他的工作，则是按照他看到的预言去执行致死的任务——确保目标以大家希望的方式死去。

本地舞臺表演《幸福大會》觀後感
剛看了個劇，算是人生看第二部。相較上次看《同居第100天》的專注和克制，這次《幸福大會》的格局和野心顯然更大。

孤独鬼的飞跃生活志
因为真的很喜欢Up in the Air，所以我很欲罢不能的再写了一篇，这次来写写精彩的语录。因为Ｒyan Bingham是负责帮企业瘦身的关系，所以电影的一段篇幅是讲述他是怎么代表一个企业去辞退员工的。很喜欢他重复了又重复的一句话
Ryan Bingham: Anybody who ever built an empire, or changed the world, sat where you are now. And it’s *because* they sat there that they were able to do it.
虽然不是什么惊世警言，但是却残酷的真实到不可理喻。
