![]() Many of the choices don’t even make sense. Without question, Flux gets way too hung up on flashy visuals and quick cutting. I understand that a tale like this needs to get out a lot of details to introduce us to its world, but a better-made movie would detail this information in a smoother manner. When a flick relies on text and than narration to launch its story, that seems like a bad sign. Nor did the immediate presentation of narration alter my worries. The stilted writing style used here sure doesn’t do much to assuage my fears. The decision to toss out exposition in such a clunky way signals a possible lack of creativity and ingenuity. That factor doesn’t inherently guarantee problems, but I see it as a warning side of potential concerns. I’m immediately suspicious of movies that start with text introductions. The flick follows those issues and gets into how they impact her existence as well as general society. This doesn’t work out as planned, largely due to some complications Aeon discovers. She soon gets the assignment of her dreams: to gun down Chairman Goodchild (Marton Csokas). When she returns, she learns that the government killed her pacifist sister Una (Amelia Warner) as a suspected Monican.Īs one might expect, this puts Aeon over the top and she becomes even more heavily involved in the Monican cause. Aeon Flux (Theron) serves as a Monican and we watch her assignment to sabotage a government surveillance facility. Average Bregnans go missing for no apparent reason, and they also suffer from unexplained negative emotions that pop up at the drop of a hat. Rebels emerge to challenge the Goodchild regime.”įrom there we end up in the year 2415 and learn about a rebel faction called the Monicans. The Goodchild dynasty rules for 400 years. The five million survivors live in Bregna, the last city on Earth. A scientist, Trevor Goodchild, develops a cure. ![]() A prologue tells us that in 2011, “a virus kills 99 percent of the world’s population. Indeed, she took home another Best Actress nomination for 2005’s North Country.Īlas, Theron’s decision to appear in 2005’s action spectacular Aeon Flux shows a potential slide into Berryland. While Berry has focused on genre flicks, Theron has continued to do more challenging work. I suppose it’s probably not right to lump Theron’s post-Oscar career in with Berry’s, though. Reviewed by Colin Jacobson (April 21, 2006)Īt this point, would it be fair to compare Charlize Theron and Halle Berry? Both share odd first names, earned Best Actress Oscars in recent years, are world-class beauties, and turned toward action flicks in the wake of Academy Award success.

![]() Big Four Heavenly King Item #4: Steamed Egg Cake The flavors were nice, and the cakes were very soft. The Pan Fried Turnip Cakes ($16 HKD / ~ $2 USD), pan fried until crispy, had great flavor and were on par with other good dim sum restaurants. Big Four Heavenly King Item #3: Pan Fried Turnip Cake This time, we tried the classic Steamed Rice Rolls with Shrimp and Chive ($30 HKD / ~ $3.90 USD), which was delicious. I suggested we order a different filling instead. Although Bryan loved it, I did not like it as much because the liver taste was quite strong. We had tried Vermicelli roll stuffed with liver, an unusual take on a Cantonese classic, in Singapore. Big Four Heavenly King Item #2: Steamed Rice Roll with Barley and Pig's Liver You won't find any fatty pork pieces, gristle, or any of those other textural annoyances here. Better yet, instead of using artificial coloring to make the interior look red (which is done virtually everywhere else), Tim Ho Wan uses red rice. The filling is also refined, with finely minced pieces of pork and vegetables. It's like a mix between a Cantonese polo bun and a charsiu bao. I love the texture of the shell, which is a bit flaky, crumbly, and sweet. Their Baked Bun with BBQ Pork ($21 HKD for 3 / ~$3 USD) is phenomenal and way better than any bun I've ever had in the States (though there are equally if not better ones in Hong Kong). THIS, my friends, is the main reason to come here. Big Four Heavenly King Item #1: Baked Bun with BBQ Pork I've described them all below, blending together photos from this current trip and our Singapore trip (explaining why I didn't order certain things a second time). We had tried all four of these our first time at Tim Ho Wan, in Singapore. ![]() I still have yet to try dim sum at an official Michelin-starred Tim Ho Wan, so I can't compare, but this place was quite, quite good.įor first time visitors, they have what they called the "Big Four Heavenly King" Items, essentially what they consider the must-get items on the menu. It had a line (though not too bad before 12PM), and the food was excellent. We ended up visiting the location in Central, right at a large train station, which is probably one of the most convenient locations to visit. In the latest (just released!) 2017 Michelin guide, two of these five locations received one Michelin star, which is pretty remarkable (North Point and Sham Shui Po). ![]() Tim Ho Wan soon expanded to five additional locations throughout Hong Kong. In 2010, Tim Ho Wan received one Michelin star and immediately became known as the one of the cheapest Michelin starred meals one could eat worldwide. Lines were notoriously long (they don't take reservations). ![]() Called Tim Ho Wan, this restaurant soon became one of the most popular dim sum spots on Hong Kong. In 2009, a chef from Hong Kong's 3-Michelin starred restaurant Lung King Heen, Mak Kwai-pui, decided to open up his own restaurant in Hong Kong's Mongkok region.

Install Compressor on any Mac to activate it as a node for distributed encoding System Requirements: macOS 11.5.1 or later, 4GB of RAM (8GB recommended for 4K editing, 3D titles, and 360 video editing), Metal-capable graphics card, 1GB of VRAM recommended for 4K editing, 3D titles, and 360 video editing, 1.2GB of available disk space. If this still won't boot, the machine might have a firmware limitation when it comes to booting USB devices but all Intel Macs should be ok. If you are able to partition the drive and make a valid bootable USB drive (I find a hard drive works better than pen drives for boot support), you can just hold alt/option at boot and choose the USB drive as the installer.

There are guides on editing the file to force the app to support older computer models but this can stop the app working so back it up (e.g right-click compress the app): Use one-step settings for Apple devices and websites such as Vimeo, YouTube, and Facebook.
