Shopping Mong Kok
:Mong Kok : Hong Kong: Women’s street is a long outdoor market selling almost anything, fake and cheap of course. LV wallets, handbags, tees, stuff toys, true religion jeans, anything you can think of, you can get here. One downfall of course is that it’s always packed by thousands of people. And since it’s outdoor, during the summer it’s not unusual to have to shop in the unbearable humidity and heat, or even at times, the pouring rain. Street food is everywhere. They’re delicious. There are the traditional shiu mai (basically the same thing you get at dim sum), sausages, fish balls, and much more. Another main attraction of Mong Kok is the sneaker street. The whole street is full of Nike, Puma, Adidas, and local stores that sell the latest shoe models from mainly US and Japan.
The Expendables
:The Expendables – one last time?: Although ratings from the US audience pulled my expectations down quite a bit, I’m still thrilled for its first screening in Hong Kong on the 26th this month. After all, these are the childhood hero and villains I grew up watching and admiring. At the very least, it “scratches the itch action fans have had since the ’80s,’” as some reviews put it. So far, criticics point fingers to the overuse of testosterone-driven actions, the dumb plot, excessive violence and etc. Let’s not forget that this is a movie with 9 all-time badasses, who are known mainly for the size of their muscles, not their witty crime-solving capabilities. Critics are comparing the actor’s performances to those of more recent action stars, like Robert Downey Junior in Iron Man, or Will Smith, in his countless save-the-world films; others, put the Expendables next to Stallone classics, such as Rambo and Rocky. Have we forgotten that Schwarzenegger is 63 this year? Stallone is 64 and Rourke, 57! They are or can be grandfathers by now. I’m just glad they’re still up and about, and still able to be so badass doing whatever they do. The Expendables can easily be the last old-school testosterone fest by these action veterans. Even if it’s not as well-made as it should be, I think it deserves a chance, just for old times’ sake.

THE SOCIAL NETWORK: THE FACEBOOK MOVIE
Without a doubt, Facebook has become the biggest social network in the world. It has even grown to be apart of our lives. Some may even call it an addiction. It is the first thing we do when we wake up, last thing we do before we sleep. We use Facebook as a source of blogging, marketing, communication and the occasional creeping. All my life, I have always respected the drive and determination of entrepreneurs. This movie gives us hope that anything is possible. Be sure to watch “The Social Network,” the facebook movie and find out how a few Harvard drop outs become billionaires overnight.
