Ada yang lama, ada yang baru...

Dalam kesibukan, sempat juga saya melayan beberapa DVD pada hujung minggu. Dalam banyak2 cerita nih, saya rasa nak beli la DVD cerita Setem. Saya suka ceritanya :)

Mutant Chronicle

OMG this movie is year 2008 production??? I thought this was done 20 years ago… Though the CGI sucks, the movie was quite enjoyable. Just about every scene was computer generated and if you fancy 300 kind of movie you will like this one…

The actors put in a fair performance with plenty of action scenes and some creepy moments. Nonetheless, I think I enjoy Sky Captain and World of Tomorrow more.

What Lies Beneath

This is a year 2000 production directed by Robert Zemeckis. Totally brilliant and full of suspense, those were the words that came straight at my face when movie credits rolled at the end.

The plot goes along at a steady unnerving pace. Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer are great on screen couple and they couldn’t have got a better couple for this thriller. Harrison Ford is certainly adequate and this role is a refreshing change for him but Michelle gave a superb performance.

Lately movie producers seem to over-do everything with special effects, gore, music and violence. Not here... they had taken a step back and returned to what makes movies spooky. It's not a computer generated demon or a high intensity soundtrack; it's just a creaky door, reflection in the glass, it's that feeling when you know you just pushed that chair in a minute ago and now it's away from the table again. That's what makes people uneasy, that's what makes them check their closets or sleep with the lights on hehehe I know who you are!!!!

The most notable difference in the movie was the silence. I'd guess that about 50% of the movie was completely silent except for breathing, footsteps, creaking doors... wonderful. The silence in the movie just added to that tension and made you slowly edge up on your seat.

I sat down to watch this movie with basically no pre-conceived notions concerning its plotline and later, I was covering my eyes with my hands hehe peeping through a small opening haha Robert Zemeckis's masterful directing has taken what is undoubtedly a good screenplay and lifted it to a higher level.

Eeeeiiiii… this movie is really creepy…but let’s watch it again! :P Check it out if you dare. Highly recommended.

Blood : The Last Vampire

This is a straight forward action movie. When watching this movie you have to forget about any relation to the anime series or manga. If you do not, then you will suffer a great deal of hurt such as Harry Potter opsssss… different genre… such as Dragonball Evolution.

Saya, played by Jeon Ji-hyun turns in a satisfactory, if not spectacular performance in her first ass-kicking action role, sort of a female version of Blade. Blood has a nice collection of katana action American style, low-budget CGI but average acting. Still when the movie ended I was a bit confused about Saya even with the history given and it made me wonder why they didn't stick with more of the elements from the anime series?

If it were only up to actress Jeon Ji-hyun and her portrayal of the killer vampire, I would rank this movie as excellent but the weight of the poor acting by the supporting cast, the already silly story, low budget CGI and the unnecessary military portion of the movie drag the movie down. Although I would watch it again... what can I do... I love Blood + , the anime series.

Princess Protection Program

Should I review this???? hahahahaaa This movie is totally for children and young teenagers. Girls will definitely like the movie as they like Hannah Montana.

Hey, I watched this with my princesses lah!

Setem

Tidak tersangka filem bertajuk 'Setem' ini adalah sebuah filem komedi aksi + gangster + crime ala2 Ocean 11 (bukan Ocean 11 ASMB ok?). Jalan cerita yang hampir sama di mana ‘small time convicts’ kena buli dengan kumpulan gangster besar.

Filem ini memang menghiburkan. Daripada lakonan seperti Sathiya dengan dialog dialognya berjaya mencuit hati penonton, tambahan Afdlin pula seperti biasa dengan komedi gaya beliau. Watak Piranha Lim dan Mani pula agak menarik kerana keduanya berjaya membawa watak berasaskan bangsa kelahiran masing2. Piranha Lim yang bercakap menggunakan loghat utara 'kecinaan' merupakan satu watak yang belum pernah saya tonton sebelum ini (alaaa macam cina kelantan speaking kelante laaa…) Watak Mani pula macam gangster Tamil cukup dengan misai cuma tak lentik ajer hehehehe pistol dia rupanya lighter rokok kwang kwang kwang

Saya puji filem ini kerana ia lari dari stereotaip filem komedi Melayu yang biasa. Terdapat banyak lawak yang sememangnya tak macam dalam filem Scenario ataupun Sifu & Tongga. Tambahan, pengakhiran jalan cerita ala2 cerita siri Leverage amat saya puashati kerana tak sangka filem Malaysia boleh gak buat cam gituh huh? Syabas!!!!

Baik jalan cerita mahupun pelakon filem ini, mereka sentiasa bergerak, ‘on movement’. Kekuatan utama yang menjadikan filem arahan Khabir Bhatia kali ini cukup unik adalah pada plot 'setem' yang dikembangkan secara menarik, tanpa gangguan visual yang tidak penting. Jom tengok sekali lagi! I gave this movie two thumbs up! Good job!

Oh ya... antara lawak yang saya gelak nak tergolek2 dah le debab tergolek lagik, aku la tu... ialah lawak Justin Timberlake vs Just Dont Be Late. Nak tau apa dia??? Pi la tengok sendiri... :P

Moms on lunch escapade...

Me and Jun had a meet up during lunch today.... so many stories exchanged hehehe gossip ler tu... lain kali boley buat lagi ya...

oh ya... congrats to my other Srikandi classmates --> Yat n Surie sebab dapat baby lagi... :)

Joining AmoiGlam, I am now a Getzian ;)






Sekali lagi amik gambar kat parking lot opis, macam tak dak tempat laen dah kan???? :P

Tangan sapa yang debab tu??

My Nokia N73 was having a problem with its software so I sent to service at Nokia Service in One Utama. While browsing around looking for a nice and cute travelling bag for my new Lenovo netbook, I came across One U Deepavali kiosks. There was a henna kiosk and 3 Chienese ladies (1 Malaysia huh?) were having their henna decorations done not only at the hands but on the shoulder and the calf too... Amazing and really nice at the same time.

.

Apa lagi saya pun terus tergedik2 nak inai tangan yang selama ini memang dok impikan sangat cuma tak dak masa nak pi Jalan Masjid India tu...

.

Cantik kan? Seni sungguh hasil kerja wanita Benggali itu... Katanya dia melukis apa yang terlintas di fikirannya setiap kali dia melakar inai di tangan pelanggan. Itulah sebabnya lakaran inainya unik kepada setiap pelanggan.

.

Apa lagi Athirah pun tergedik sama la nak inai tangannya juga hehehehe

.

Esoknya Geng Makan meraikan hari lahir saya dan inilah hadiahnya... thanks so much you all... You all semua mmg sahabat dunia akhirat muah muah muah

Kalau tak babak terlampau mmg tak sah kan???

Thanks to JJ Bilik Hujung for the pics :)

A nice surprise! :)

This is a late entry actually but who cares is it???? hehehehe

A few weeks before my birthday I received this card... Sapa la hantaq nih?? Rupanya daripada BB...

Since I am a member so they send me a birthday card and politely requested me to collect my birthday gift at any of their outlets. In addition I received an extra discount for any purchase I made upon collection of the birthday gift. Apa!!!!! Anakmami gedik laaaaaaa.... ketaq2 gatai nak pi BB One Utama hahahahahaaaaa

Tapi sampai sana tak dak item yang cantek menarek dan da bomb... so I only picked up my gift. Ingatkan kecik rupanya... jeng jeng jeng...

It is a shoe bag!!!! Chantek bangat.... with leather strap!!!! Jadi bergayalah aku di hari lebaran dengan shoebag BB yang ku tukarkan menjadi 'toiletries bag'. Bagus kan??? Aku gumbira!!!!!

Tak dak sapa ka nak bagi besday present???

This is my new gadget... Lenovo S10-2 netbook. Small, slick and veryyyyyy user friendly. Cuma RAM ada sikit kecil dan perlu ditambah daya kuasa hehehe

.

and I also present myself a P1 W1MAX :) also a user friendly gadget and fassstttttt... cheaper too compare to my previous St***yx :P

Notebook yang besar tu ialah Acer lama saya... masih boleh digunakan cuma 'motherboard'nya ada sedikit bengong. Namun, notebook itulah yang banyak menemukan tulisan saya dengan you all semua :)

There is a design on the cover of the netbook and black makes it look stylish.

I wanted to buy white at first but they are out of stock. When I first lay my eyes on pink, I shouted "OMG!!!! macam ulat!!!!!" so I decided on black instantly hehehehe

These are some features on S10-2. Baca sendiri lah ya... hehehe

.
Apapun, saya memang berpuashati dengan S10-2 tersebut. Mudah digunakan, ringan dan tersangat mudah alih... Sungguh praktikal untuk saya daripada ke kelas hingga ke pejabat.

Watchmen

This movie definitely isn't for everyone. If you are expecting another Superman movie, you will be disappointed as this movie is completely different. To those who are looking for a long, complicated, deeply moving feeling, this movie will really make youthink about the concept of right, wrong and heroism.

Watchmen is a different super heroes movie experience including violent and resonant. For a person who does not know the book, like me, has a lot to digest and the brutal visuals may distract some people, so watch out. Personally, in Malaysian context, please avoid your children from watching this movie as they will never see Spiderman the same way again. I am so lucky that I only rented the DVD, if not… not worth laaaa….

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li

This movie was terrible. I wasn't expecting it to be great but I wasn't expecting it to be as bad as it was. It seemed that they took a really bad, wannabe kung-fu movie added some Street Fighter names and thought that would good enough to pass it off as a Street Fighter movie.

.
Almost non-existent plot, bad acting and terrible fight scenes make this movie not worth the time it takes to watch it.

.

Race to Witch Mountain

It was a very good family oriented movie ; a blend of comedy and action and I found it very refreshing. The story doesn't try to be more intellectual than it can handle and doesn't let the special effects run wild and take over everything else.

Recommended for a family viewing but don't go expecting something out of this world, as everything's pretty probable.




Knowing

The movie has a strong start and a plot that hooked you in but the last third of the movie is very ridiculous. Too bad…

Hannah Montana The Movie

Anyone who has a young girl will enjoy this movie. In this case, I am definitely a pleased mother… anak gumbira, ibu ceria hehehe

It's not going to win an Oscar for acting but it sure entertained. I liked the music from both Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift; they have different styles. A nice family movie with a lot of music and emotions on it.

Fast and Furious 4

I've seen all Fast & Furious films and I must say that Vin Diesel has helped this latest sequel a notch above the others but… the plot has not fully develop thou the action is good and some scenes are better than the previous franchise.

Entertaining but it doesn't give us anything new to the franchise. Still, fast cars lovers will enjoy it as the racers act like rock stars!

Dragonball Evolution

This movie is a total butchering of what I had held great hopes of seeing. It attempted to follow the Dragonball anime story line, meanwhile adding a modern spin in it. What I and the other Dragonball viewers wanted to see is a storyline that follows the cartoon series without any changes and additions or probably a bit different...

Overall, the plot is weak, the characters did not look like the cartoons (ie. Yamcha, Master Roshi, Bulma), the cartoon series are much better than this. Well, I think the director and the production have not watched the Dragonball series. The characters are only similar in name and the story feels like they chewed it up and spat it out. I understand that real movie is not the same with the anime but they have taken the movie far away from the original story.

Dragonball is a hot cult because of the stylistic action and fight sequences. However, the martial arts choreography in this movie is another led down. To non Dragonball anime followers, the movie is just nice for you to see... personally to me, it is a disappointment!
