This was 2 weeks ago...

Actually I wanted to share more of my hobbies but I can't at this moment... aiya... not enough time as a mother, wife, daughter, sister, manager, friends, event organizer, domestic worker, lover, secretary, entrepreneur and the list goes on and on and on....

I still owe you guys on my new mean machine review, my new first day cover stamps, my perfume story, my motivation books and my new roman romance...

OK lah... jez settle with this first ok????


Mostly Ghostly - Who Lets the Ghosts Out?

I have to admit the reason that made me want to watch this is because it is based on an R.L. Stein book and I happen to be a fan of his kids horror stories. Oh!!! Azim too… We have all books of Mostly Ghostly.

This was classic R.L. Stein, from dumb bully brothers, to creepy basement creatures, to creepy ghost children, to a creepy ending where you know the bad guy is still out there. I recommend this to anybody with kids and to kids who want a good laugh and maybe some scares. The special effects are at the standard of made-for-TV-movie and weren't the best, but who can blame…

My comment : Boley la… I stick to the books...



Bedtime Stories

The thing about Bedtime Stories is that it is light, funny, easy to digest and all around great for the whole family. It's just like any other Sandler's movies except this one doesn't contain any only-for-adults jokes.

It's just a very entertaining family movie.

My comment : Aaaahhhhhh mengantuknya… boring!!!!!









The Day The Earth Stood Still

Despite the movie's impressive effects, imaginative premise and somewhat entertaining moments, The Day the Earth Stood Still simply feels like an empty experience. Keanu was perfectly cast and Connelly does a good job with what's given to her but something is missing that actually makes the War of the Worlds remake shine.

Though the "big issue" that the film deals with has been changed from the nuclear arms race to global warming, it is hardly touched upon. The destruction of the human race is triggered with little more than a few lines of explanation.

Let's be blunt: this is definitely not a good movie; it's not horrid either, it's just somewhere between average and bad. The end result lacks cohesion and plays more like a sequence of 5 to 10 minutes scenes badly sewn together. The direction is poor.

My comment : Cloverfield lagik saspen…


As I was wondering the movie sites, I noticed this... the 1951 movie... sometime I like classic as it is kan????

Kejadian ini berlaku pada hari Sabtu, 11 April 2008, jam lebih kurang 11 pagi di depan rumah ku.
.
Adik penghantar kurier yang kemas dan control macho itu telah ding dong loceng rumah ku dan aku pun kelam kabut **dengan rupa belum mandi** menayang muka di pintu. Ada kurier untuk akak! katanya... Eh! aku tak order apa2 pun??? Takkan Citibank hantar hadiah kot? **Hilang akai ka Citibank nak hantaq hadiah tak tentu pasai kan?**
.
Tangan terus menarik shawl **daripada bulu kambing biri2 Pakistan** lantas menebar menutup kepala dan dadaku **cover tak mandi ler tu...** kemudian mata terpandang nama penghantar kurier tersebut - Mix.FM sambil kotak fikiran sedang melayang2 mencari memori pertandingan yang telah aku hantar melalui laman **bukan lawan** sesawang Mix.FM. Oh ya!!!!! aku dah ingat dah...



Teruja nih... betul atau tidak tekaan ku??

No... this is not a movie marathon...

Antoo Fighter

Azim menonton cerita ini di panggung wayang dan asyik menceritakan betapa menarik cerita ini walaupun ada beberapa perkara yang tidak masuk akal. Dia terpukau dengan cerita ini atau dia suka sebab ada elemen permainan ‘Street Fighter’ PS2 ????

Saya telah membaca beberapa ulasan sementara menanti DVD cerita ini. Usahlah merendah2kan filem kita sendiri… Secara peribadi Antoo Fighter merupakan cerita yang amat berpotensi dan akan lebih baik jika kita semua menyokongnya. Mungkin FINAS boleh membantu dari segi kewangan seperti mana Geng Upin dan Ipin.

Jika cerita Hollywood yang kurang masuk akal kita boleh terima kenapa tidak filem kita??? Bayangkan cerita hantu dimana bomoh akan menangkap hantu itu dan memenjaranya di dalam botol… ha… sama lah juga dengan cerita "Antoo Fighter” ini. Cuma kaedah dan olahan cerita yang berbeza.

Saya rasa babak permulaan cerita seperti permainan PS2 membawa satu kelainan. Cuma pada mulanya jenaka yang disampaikan boleh membuat kita ketawa tetapi lama kelamaan sudah menjadi lawak basi pula…

Radhi OAG yang membawa watak Poh Jee kadang kala nampak terlalu berusaha menjayakan wataknya. Harun Salim Bachik sebagai Pak Din memang sesuai manakala Drakulat Van Listerooy lakonan Awie memang mantap! Hantu2 telah disolek dengan baik tetapi mempunyai dialog yang agak sukar difahami. Ron dan Bell tidak perlu saya cerita…they are good actors but…. watak tidak begitu menonjol.

Cerita "Antoo Fighter" bagaikan menonton versi Melayu cerita Hollywood "Ghostbusters". Pujian harus diberikan kepada pengarah, Azizi 'Chunk' Adnan, kerana berjaya merealitikan cerita ini dan saya harap ada sambungannya…


Geng Pengembaraan Upin dan Ipin

Tahniah kepada Les' Copaque Production Sdn. Bhd. kerana membuat suami saya kagum hingga mulut terbuka menonton cerita ini di panggung wayang. ‘Sekarang I tahu kenapa anak2 suka cerita Upin dan Ipin…’ katanya. Saya sengih sampai ke telinga sebab usaha membawa anak2 dan abah mereka sekali ke panggung wayang menonton cerita ini berbaloi! Azhad siap ajak ke kedai untuk membeli DVD cerita ini sebaik sahaja kami keluar panggung!

Apa yang perlu saya katakan ialah ‘korang kalu tak tengok cerita ini boleh menyesal!’


Babak yang pasti saya ingat (dan sengih sorang2) ialah sewaktu gelongsor yang dinaiki Upin, Ipin dan Rajoo berhenti di cerun bukit lantas Upin melompat2 dan menghenjut2 gelongsor tersebut agar jatuh ke cerun bukit sambil Rajoo memekik2 agar Upin tidak berbuat demikian.


Upin : Kenapa berhenti ni? (sambil lompat-lompat atas gelongsor)
Rajoo : woi.. jangan!! nanti jatuh!
Upin : cepat Ipin, tolong..
Rajoo : jangan Ipin jangan.. ingat masa depan!!

adoi… (gaya Dracula Cina aka Nabil) dialog ‘ingat masa depan’ tu yang aku tak tahan.. hehehe



Babylon AD

Wow, I don't even know where to start. It is quite mess up because the movie looked liked it had potential. The acting was average as Vin Diesel and Michelle Yeoh did a decent job. Yup our Datuk Michelle Yeoh was in the movie…

While I think it was an interesting story, it just could have been so much better and should have been told more properly. The only character that we really get to know is just Toorup, played by Vin Diesel. Why there is a little focus on the girl, Aurora? How did she get her powers or was she really ill? What was the history and was she destined for all of what happened to her with her children? There were so many questions that were left unanswered. Over all, this isn't a terrible movie and I am lucky that I wait for the DVD rental because while the effects are very good and the whole setting is disturbing, it's the story that leaves you dumbfounded and just bummed that the story ended the way it did.

.


Bolt

Who would have thought "Bolt" would be so thrilling and entertaining! The opening action is rushed with adrenaline, it excites me even though it is an animation! The plot is intelligent, interesting and fun. It makes perfect family entertainment.
My fav character is Rhino the hamster... he is cool...

I like this as I love wathching The Incredibles over and over again :)


.


Twilight

I have not read the books so I watch the movie with a very open mind not knowing what it is all about. I thought it was ‘Underworld’ action type of movie but I am wrong. It is a teen movie and I am an old teenager hehehehe

Surprisingly, Twilight wasn't that bad of a film. There were some good moments and some very "eh" moments. Don't spend your time comparing it to the book. If you just sit there comparing the book and the movie, you'll take the fun out of the movie itself.

When I first look at Edward Cullen, the vision of Cedric Diggory flashes a few times. I like him more with his British accent…

Just try to enjoy the movie for what it is…
