BLAH BLAH BLOGS:The Internet and Netizens Deserves Fair Journalism

The Internet is place where vast inforamtion can be sent in lightning speeds and reaches out to hundreds to millions of people not only locally but worldwide. Its is crucial for journalists and bloggers that facts are made clear so it won't cause damage to the people being involved. I, as a blogger know that fact and has always check on my sources to make sure that what I write is indeed true and never to sensationalize the topic.


But the world wide web is filled with so many inaccurate and irreleveant information that confuses the public. Filtering these is hard and sometimes. biased.

REEL DEAL Movies and Television: The Adventures of Tintin REVIEW

I grew up with a lot of cartoons yet most of them have turned into lost memories because they lack permanence. But it was The Adventures of Tintin that actually opened my eyes to many amazing discoveries that inspired me to be a detective and scientist (which I think I also am). Though have not seen all the tintin comics has been fascinated by the bravery of Tintin and the charm and wit of his dog Snowy.


Now after decades from where it started. Tintin created by Herge is now made ito a live movie (using advanced CGI). But unlike other comic adaptations into movies, this Tintin movie is special because it will be formed under Peter Jackson and Stephen Spielberg. And with a powerhouse staff and actors, every second is indeed a moment not to be missed. If you are a fan of the comic series, you may see a lot of related moments to the comic series. But don't fret for those who are first time to see/know Tintin because his character and so well are the others will be introduced with a lot of action and excitement.
