Layannnnnnn... :)
Legion
For the movie to work, you have to grab the reasoning that God has decided to end the world through an unfair battle using his angels against humans and the absence of the Devil whom a friend thought would actually either rejoice or would have gathered new followers with the exodus of human souls now being abandoned by the holy one. If you don't stuck the idea to your brain, you are deep trouble watching this movie.
Angels behaving like demons??? A God who has questionable faith??? I could understand if some Christians would find this offensive. Personally I would find the idea is daring and against all holy books in our world. Angels with weapons???
Looking it as another movie production, the characters are not develop properly, despite ample time in the first half that had characters talking, rationalising and reflecting on just what their predicament is. Amongst the action offered that I've not seen before involved the angel Gabriel (last done androgynously by Tilda Swinton in Constantine), which brings to mind just how angels would be clad for battle, with armour, close combat weapon with frills and those metallic wings used both defensively and offensively in quite elegant ways as shield and blade combined in one sweeping motion. I also don’t quite understand why possessed human by angels behave like zombie???
I would rather watch Keanu Reeve’s Constantine over and over again…
Pisau Cukur
Rasanya saya mungkin takkan menonton DVD Pisau Cukur sekiranya bukan Abang Long yang berlakon di awal permulaan cerita. Rupanya hanya rambut Abang Long yang masuk wayang hahahahaaaa ciyannnnnn dia…
Pisau Cukur merupakan gabungan produksi filem Gol & Gincu. Saya suka GC kerana ada unsur fun, urban dan reality. Begitu jua dengan Pisau Cukur. Realiti cerita ini ialah zaman sekarang perempuan muda dan cantik memiliki impian untuk hidup senang tanpa bekerja keras. Namun, apa yang dikejar tidak semestinya indah dan bersederhana lebih menyenangkan hati. Realiti kedua ialah gaya hidup wanita masa kini yang boleh bermadu kasih, berkongsi rasa dan cinta walaupun si suami tidak kacak, asalkan wang ringgit dan harta dimiliki bersama.
Pisau Cukur mempunyai shot yang menarik, apatah lagi dibantu dengan rakaman visual dan teknik sinematografi yang boleh dibanggakan dan berwarna warni. Sebenarnya penggambaran filem ini hanyalah dibuat di sebuah studio tapi set-upnya macam di atas sebuah kapal mewah, di tengah-tengah laut. Set penggambaran dan teknik CGI yang digunakan memang membanggakan.
Lakonan gedik Fazura dan Maya Karin memang class kerana ekspresi wajah mereka sungguh berkesan dan terasa seperti ianya terjadi di hadapan mata kita. Oh My Gucci!!! Ya memang betoi!!!! hahaha
Lakonan Aaron Aziz, Radhi Khalid, Dato Rahim Razali, Khatijah Tan, Umie Aida, Liyana Jasmay, Sharifah Sofia dengan cameo Afdlin Shauki sebagai Captain memang baik sekali. Redza Minhat yang berlakon sebagai Fakir juga tidak mengecewakan but he got to learn harder J
Pi la tengok citer nih! Berbaloi!
District 9
We have seen many aliens come to earth movies, but this is different. What’s good about this documentary style movie is that there are no overused or overexposed celebrities in sight, but still the actors are able to give solid performance. The aliens themselves, brilliantly ‘so real’ with top notch CGI even manage to make us feel something… The collaboration of Peter Jackson and Neill Blomkamp are kaboom this time! Two thumbs up!
The movie actually making me believe this thing could actually happen here on Earth. One thing in common, either we are on Earth or visitors in Pandora, we are evil. Oh dear, please love your neighbours!
Bodyguards and Assassins
This is a star studded period action film about the assassination attempt of Dr Sun Yat Sen in Hong Kong in 1906 which group several veteran actors and A-listed casts into the movie. Set, editing, camera work, action direction all become an integral part of this top-notch motion picture.
The first hour of this movie is entirely about characters development, making you understand their relationship while the second half of the movie is action pack kung-fu fighting. I like the movie because of the beautiful characters each with their own story, fighting and sacrificing their lives for an important mission. Sad ending but that makes the story complete.
Just ignore the historical element, go and watch the DVD, it will move your emotions…
