Jason Statham leads the cast of an action-thriller set in the post-industrial wasteland of tomorrow, with the world's most brutal sporting event as its backdrop. A penitentiary full of felons has inspired the jailers to create a grisly pastime ripe for lucrative kickbacks. Now, adrenalized inmates, a global audience hungry for televised violence and a spectacular arena come together to form the "Death Race."

Three-time speedway champion Jensen Ames (Statham) is an expert at survival in the harsh landscape that has become our country. Just as he thinks he has turned his life around, the ex-con is framed for a gruesome murder he didn't commit. Forced to don the mask of the mythical driver Frankenstein -- a crowd favorite who seems impossible to kill -- Ames is given an easy choice by Terminal Island's warden (Joan Allen): suit up or rot away in a cell.

His face hidden by a metallic mask, one convict will be put through an insane three-day challenge. Ames must survive a gauntlet of the most vicious criminals in the country's toughest prison to claim the prize of freedom. Driving a monster car outfitted with machine guns, flamethrowers and grenade launchers, one desperate man will destroy anything in his path to win the most twisted spectator sport on Earth.

Caught the movie “Death Race” with Yu Ling, Jarvis and Seng Kai last night. Thanks to Jarvis that I ended up home at 12 midnight plus. Ignoring this, the movie wasn’t too bad. Its action packed but I find everything going a little bit too fast. Before I could catch a glimpse of anything, it’s gone the next second I knew it.

Back to today, it’s a “GREAT” start for my first day of school. I mean, really “GREAT”. I’ve caught a cold (Probably thanks to the weather and the air conditional in the cinema last night!) and I’m sneezing like never ever before today. I think the class’s full of my virus now. Ha-Ha-Ha! Anyway, back to topic, Mobile Communications was my module today. One full of theories, so much that I’m falling asleep during lesson. I need the Japan’s product (What's that called?) such that my head doesn’t nod from left to right. Oh yeah! Ha-Ha-Ha!
