Great Marine Movie

Heartbreak Ridge is one movie that displays the machodom of the US Marine Corps.

As usual, expect Clint Eastwood to be a hard-hitting;jaw breaking Gunnery Sergeant that will whip his outfit into a lean fighting force when they have to mount an amphibious operation to save Americans stuck in Grenada during a civil upheaval.

Heartbreak Ridge is derived from the Battle of Heartbreak Ridge Bridge in Korea during the Korean War.

The protagonist love for the marines has caused a rift in his marriage to Aggie played by Marsha Mason whom he is trying to win back before she accept the proposal from another. That he succeeded ,makes it a feel good movie.

As usual, it was fun while it lasted and I enjoyed every bit of this movie.

Bloody Organs Transfers

I missed this movie in the circuit.

Another of the Eastwood movies, Bloodwork is grippy and its twists and turns can baffle you as the protagonist seek out a serial murder only to find that the dastardly chap is his neighbouring marina boat-mate.

The premise of a cat and mouse between the protagonist and the antagonist whereby the antagonist kept the protagonist alive by providing him a heart transplant that is suitable with his rare blood type makes an interesting plot.

Wanda de Jesus, a Cher look-alike, provides the eye-candy in this movie while Jeff Daniels played the unlikely villain.

Very watchable movie.

Supermax Corporation Continues to Max For You!

It may not be the Optimus Prime of the Malaysian rubber glove industry, but it have hit the RM billion mark revenue target in 2011 and may soon catch up on Top Glove if the latter becomes lackadaisical.

One of the popular counters, Supermax has seen great heights in years gone by and may be on a plateau right now given the rising latex prices that may impact negatively upon its sales and revenue.

Let us review their 11-year profile for a purchase of 10,000 shares at RM2 in 2000.

As of February 2012, given the corporate restructurings that have taken place during this period,your investment of RM20,000 would have ballooned up in value to RM160,830. On top of that, you would have received accumulated dividends of RM15,819.

Your capital gain would be RM156,650 and your net returns would be 783%.

Don't you think you have made a smart investment by just investing in rubber gloves?

Fast forward,do you think Stanley Thai can bring this company further up the profit path to new heights or has the company 'hit the wall' in its growth trajectory?

After it ex-bonused on 1:1, the share price has declined to the RM1.90 level, in tandem with poor market sentiments and the rising latex prices.

To prop the price of the counter up needs more aggressive marketing and perhaps some health exigencies.

Meanwhile, this is a good price to buy into this dividend paying company.

Wow, what a photo!

The Kingdom of God

That animals can live together without any worries or concerns, why can't humans?

Here, you see a prey and predators co-existing.

Hollie Goes Home

As expected, Hollie Cavanagh, pushed to the edge of the competition by three better contestants, went home as No. 4.

Left to battle it out are Philip Philips with his unique singing style that entertains no end; Joshua Ledet with his stage prowess singing home the blues and the indefatigable Jessica Sanchez with her magical vocals and stage appeal.

Americans can be fickle and so next week who will be made to take the bow?

If the voters are redneck bigots, Philip Philips may sail in with ease. If voters love the rendition of blues, Joshua will be their pick and the versatile Jessica will be chosen because of her unusual talent as well as if she can attract many male voters as she is the only rose left among the thorns.

I will be rooting for Jessica.

As all three are already winners in their own right, then let the games begin and let the winner take the coveted title of American Idol home!

We found Love

Wonderful number played to the strains of the violin by Lindsay Stirling.

Beautiful dancers; beautiful countryside.

I enjoyed the music, singing and the wondrous African country-side.

Hope you will enjoy it too!
