New product : orange flavored Listerine

8 August 2006 Leave a comment

I am a sucker for trying out new products. After seeing a TV commercial that launched the all-new natural citrus flavored Listerine mouthwash, I decided to buy a bottle (my original flavoured one was low anyway).

Tonight I finally opened it. It has a new cap, which I found REALLY difficult to open. Oh well, maybe I’ll get used to it. The mouthwash did actually taste citric – it actually felt like I was drinking an orange flavored alcoholic drink!!

While it wasn’t foul by any means, I think I will stick with the original taste!

Miami Vice 2006 – I think I will miss Jan Hammer’s theme

8 August 2006 Leave a comment

Michael Mann’s new Miami Vice film will hit the screens next week. Having read the reviews on the web, it seems Mann is basically creating a brand new movie that retains only TV programme’s title and the characters’ names.

One of my favorite shows on TV during my secondary school days, Miami Vice was cool in an indescribable way – the radical color scheme for a TV show, the rock star cameos and the MTV-ready music all made it a rocking show. I remember many of my friends wearing moccasins without socks.

Well, I finally saw the trailer at the cinema today – and am really looking forward to seeing it. Michael Mann’s films have always entertained me and I just hope Miami Vice will not be a disappointment. I have doubts about Colin Farrell as Sonny Crocket, but Gong Li looked real sharp.
