How did we spend our last day of the year 2007? At home. The outside world could be a fiesta by itself. We were sure that KL would have been crazy, hence we stayed as far away as possible. Those are usually for the young and brave. For people like us, we preferred to count down with the boys, nonetheless, another type of chaotic as well - watching the movie 300. That was my first time watching the film, after so much hype about it when it first came to the theatre, I never really had the chance to catch it. 
How should I describe this "not-so-much-my-type-of-film" kind of movie? Let's leave it to others then: "Based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller, "300 Movie" is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy. The film brings Miller's ("Sin City") acclaimed graphic novel to life by combining live action with virtual backgrounds that capture his distinct vision of this ancient historic tale - "300 Movie." I didn't finish watching 300 that night for I was very exhausted when the clock hit 12 already. From what I had seen that night, I was truly at awe by their art direction and graphic design of the film, their painstaking effort to make it look so close to 
the novel (tho I have not read it). The fight sequence were amazingly choreographed and shot. Of course, one of the things I enjoyed watching most were the fabulous abs of Gerald Butler and his men! Gorgeous bodies. Like the film, our year 2007 was a very challenging one, having to kick start our own company, at the same time trying to keep all things in tacted. It was nonetheless a good year to begin with, we are thankful to all those who have supported us thus far, we hope to achieve greater heights and success for the year to come. 2008, here we come!!
