Movie Review: World Trade Center

Poster
My Rating: 3Stars

This evening I saw the movie “World Trade Center” at UA Cinema, Time Square, Causeway Bay.

I went in to see this movie because of Nicolas Cage. Unfortunately, even with Nicolas Cage, this movie has very little substance.

I find that the movie is capitalizing on a sensitive subject and event, ridding on the coat tails of the audiences’ emotions on the subject and not the result of the performances of the actors in the movie.

I do not believe the movie studios are contributing any of the proceeds from the movie to charities, but I think they should. As I do not think it is fair for a company to be capitalizing on a disaster, which has such a large global effect.

Rating Legend:
5Stars Not to be missed
4Stars Wait for the DVD
3Stars Buy from iTunes Store
2Stars Rent it if you can
1Stars Waste your time elsewhere

Track Day

Today was the first time I ever had a chance to drive a sports car on a race track. For someone who loves driving and cars this is definitely a special day.

I was invited to Richburg Lotus, Hong Kong’s first ever Track Day to launch their status as the official dealer for Lotus in Hong Kong. The whole day’s event was held at Zhuhai International Circuit in Zhuhai, China.

I had the opportunity to drive a Lotus Exige S through a gymkhana (timed slalom course). The fastest time of the three tries was considered my time for the course and was competed against other drivers for prices.

Being my first time behind a Lotus and a gymkhana, I did not win any price to say the least. Although, the experience was good. I really enjoyed the experience and the opportunity to see what a Lotus can really do in the hands of professionals.

I also received pointers from professional drivers from UK and Hong Kong on handling techniques for the Lotus, which was great.
