review : the dark knight rises

let's just get this out of the way : it's not as superb as 2008's The Dark Knight. even the bad guys are not as bad as The Joker. in short, it is not that thrilling. but nevertheless, i still think it's good. especially since this is the last Batman movies. go watch it, if you want to see Christian Bale in a bat suit one last time and also, seeing Anne Hathaway doing surprisingly well for the role of Catwoman. and of course, the cute Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a cop in pre-Robin days. (oops, spoiler! ;p)

oh and yes, in case you're wondering...it is still and much much better than The Amazing Spiderman. 

president by day, hunter by night

the reason i'm watching this movie is basically because of the awesome trailer. that, and also the fact that it's not some star-studded hollywood movie. bagi aku, even though there's a few negative reviews on this film saying it's ridiculous, dumb and all but somehow, i still find it quite interesting actually. mungkin sebab aku bukan orang amerika kot. jadi aku takdelah serius sangat nak komen pasal history deyols semua kan. so layan je cerita ni. kenapa aku kata interesting? semua sebab horror scenes as well as the fight scenes. oh ye, cerita ni super ganas hokay. bunuh-bunuh secara kejam putus kepala, badan, darah siap terpancut habis. semua raw. takde nak cut cut. momen momen terkejut sangatlah banyak weh. aku siap melatah lagi. tapi dalam hati je lah kan. and kids shouldn't be allowed to watch this one though. extreme hardcore murder scenes.

this movie is actually an adaptation from the novel with the same title. ni pun baru aku tau lepas masa aku nak tulis entri ni. haha. masa pergi tengok tak tau pun cerita tu daripada novel. cuma bila aku baca kat wikipedia pasal novel ni, barulah aku tau yang versi filem lain sikit dari cerita asal. terasa macam nak beli pulak novel dia.

(spoiler alert! do not read if you haven't watch the film yet. or if you plan to watch it soon!)

cerita ni pasal Abraham Lincoln (Abe) who lived a secret life before and after becoming the 16th President of the United States. lepas emak dia dibunuh oleh vampire, dia berdendam dan berjanji nak menuntut bela diatas kematian emaknya dengan membunuh semua vampire who are intent to take over the United States. masa dia hampir hendak dibunuh oleh vampire, dia diselamatkan oleh Henry, who turned out to be a vampire as well. but he's a good vampire. Henry ini berdendam dengan Adam, ketua segala vampire yang telah menukar Henry menjadi vampire. Henry ni memang tengah cari orang nak direkrut untuk membunuh vampire. kenapa Henry tak bunuh je vampire tu semua? sebab dalam cerita ni vampire tak boleh bunuh sesama sendiri. the dead can only be killed by the living. so bermulalah episod si Henry ni mengajar Abe menjadi vampire hunter dengan menggunakan kapak since Abe was not good using guns. once ready, Henry sent Abe to the South with a mission : kill all the vampires and always be alone. Henry will set the target for Abe to kill in letters. he begins his business and political careers by day, continuing to track down the vampires in Henry's letters at night. but after a while, he decides to give up vampire hunting and instead concentrate on his daytime pursuits. he marries Mary Todd, begins to raise a family, starts a law firm, and is elected dalam dorang punya pilihanraya lah lebih kurang. this somehow, left Henry a bit disappointed. akan tetapi....jeng jeng jeng....something happened to the Lincoln's family that brought Abe's back to his hunting business. apakah dia?

nak tahu kenalah nonton ceritanya ya buk...huhu ;)

footnote : never knew fighting with just an axe can be so darn cool! seriously, lepas tengok movie ni, terasa macam nak ada kapak just like abe lincoln. mesti cool habis. and the guy who plays Abe Lincoln looked so much like the real Abraham Lincoln. hebat mekap team dorang. and for the record, i thought it was Eric Bana yang berlakon jadi Abe, rupanya orang lain. some guy named Ben Walker.

review : snow white and the huntsman

i've been looking forward for this film since day one that i've found out Kristen Stewart will be playing Snow White in this famous Disney fairytale remake. and also the fact that my Thor will be playing The Huntsman, lagi lah tak sabar nak tengok filem ni. went to watch this film last Friday. memang masa opening day 1st June tu aku dah pergi tengok.

tahun ni ada 2 filem Snow White yang ditayangkan. Mirror Mirror and this one. while Mirror Mirror is basically the happier, cuter and funnier version of the fairytale, Snow White and The Huntsman is totally the opposite. it's darker, edgier and more action as compared to the original ones. oh ye, the storyline pun bukan macam yang selalu kita baca. a bit twisted. kinda modern fairytale version lah. lagi-lagi bila snow white tak jatuh cinta pun kat prince charming (dah namanya pun Snow White & THE HUNTSMAN kan ;p) and the queen is downright evil, lagi dahsyat lah jahat dia. and the mirror pun tak sama macam dalam cerita original. senang cerita memang lain lah snow white ni.

of course ada lah part yang sama macam dalam yang original tu like evil queen tu seru semangat "mirror, mirror on the wall! who is the fairest of them all?" tapi cara dia sebut tu boleh nampak lah betapa jahatnya queen tu. hmm selain tu, ada the seven dwarfs and the red apple scene yang snow white gigit tu pastu pengsan. tapi dwarfs ni tak banyak peranan pun aku rasa. bila aku tengok tu dari awal tu siap boleh terlupa pasal dwarfs dalam cerita Snow White ni. huhu...

dari segi lakonan, aku rasa paling berkesan adalah The Evil Queen kot. entah, tak tahu kenapa aku rasa yang paling menghidupkan cerita ni adalah Charlize Theron as the queen tu. mungkin sebab dia oscar winner kan. jadi lakonan dia memang mantap tip top. kira jahat dia menjadi. tapi kadang aku rasa Charlize ni terlampau cantik pulak untuk jadi queen. sebab aku rasa dia lagi cantik dari Kristen Stewart yang jadi snow white. hehe. bukanlah Kristen tu tak cantik. dia pun cantik. cuma bila Charlize sebut 'who is the fairest of them all?' siap dengan british accents tu rasa macam...'eh kau pun cantiklah' hahaha...

Kristen pulak as a NON-BELLA character is quite okaylah. nak kata hebat sangat tu takdelah. cuma kadang-kadang dia terkeluar gak lah american slang dia. padahal dia kena berdialog in british accents untuk filem ni. tapi takpelah. boleh dimaafkan. lagi satu, masa awal-awal tu, narrator ada sebut yang 'skin as white as snow, hair as dark as night with lips as red as blood' masa dia describe snow white tapi nape bibir Kristen tak merah punnnn....

Thor plak....(dia memang Thor je dihatiku, berlakon lah cerita apa pun, tetap Thor jugak!)......HANDSOMEEEE!!!! haha tu je boleh? i'm biased lah when it comes to Chris Hemsworth. sesuailah bawak watak Huntsman. dia punya irish accents pun menjadi. cuma aku frust tak banyak romance scene between Snow White and him. satu kiss jer for that 2 hours long movie?! tak best betulll...frust i frust i...sebab nak tengok Bella kiss someone rather than Edward Cullen. hehe.

Prince Charming....hmmm Prince Charming...dalam cerita ni dipanggil William. kawan Snow White dari kecik. great bower. as in pemanah ok, bukan penunduk (bow). tak banyak peranan sangat (aku ni memanjang tak banyak peranan kan haha).tapi nampak lah betapa dia sayangkan snow white.

all in all, i gave this movie 8 stars out of 10. ok lah tu kan. E!Online bagi B- je tau kauu...aku bagi 8 ni pun mainly sebab charlize theron kot. haha. and also because of it's amazing casts as well as the cinematography. cuma tang ending tu rasa macam.."eh, camtu je ker ending dia?! where's my happily ever after?!" but then again, it is said kan to be twisted version of the fairytale. dah tentu-tentulah tak sama dengan yang biasa kan.

if you are really into modern fairytale with lots of sword fighting, girl power kinda stuff and Chris Hemsworth (macam aku ni), go watch it but if you still prefer the original fairytale with sweet and cute environment, you might as well stick to Mirror Mirror.

till then...

Review : Ombak Rindu

aku rasa rata-rata mesti semua tengah kecoh dengan ombak rindu kan. dekat twitter pun siap trending lagi. promo kat tv pun dahsyat. ramai gak kan yang buat review. aku pun samalah kan. tapi aku malas lah nak bagi kata-kata aluan mukadimah bagai. straight to the point je lah ek.

1- orang kata cerita ni sedih. sedih sangat. kena bawak tisu. tapi entah kenapa aku takdelah nangis beriya sampai nak kena ada tisu. aku yang kurang feeling ke atau yang lain ni terlebih feeling? haha. tapi serius. ada jugaklah part-part yang sedih tu kan. tapi paling terkesan sangat buat airmata bergenang adalah bila Aaron Aziz mengalirkan airmata. aiyooo mak tak bolehlah tengok lelaki macho nangis. nanti mesti join nangis gak.

2 - aku rasa hanya 50% je cerita ni ikut novel. mungkin aku ni skema ataupun close minded ke apa ke tapi once you mentioned an 'ADAPTATION', you should follow the novel. kira macam kalau boleh janganlah ubah sangat or tambah watak yang takde dalam novel. ataupun watak tu ada dalam novel tapi tak include dalam movie. or else, you might better call it 'ilham daripada' instead of adaptation. takdelah aku letak harapan tinggi walaupun sejujurnya memang aku berharap it will do justice to the novel. ye lah, aku nak gak rasa berbaloi kan bayar RM10, RM11 untuk tengok cerita yang aku dah tahu jalan ceritanya.

3 - aku rasa macam Lisa Surihani tu tak sesuai pulak bawak watak Mila. mungkin perasaan aku je ke apa ke aku tak tahu lah. bukan dia tak berbakat. bukan dia tak cantik. tapi tak boleh digest Lisa dengan Mila. i kinda pictured it being played by Fazura ke. Sazzy ke. atau paling koman pun Diana Danielle. tapi tu pendapat aku lah. lagi satu, kenapa Lisa banyak jerit dalam filem ni? i don't recall Mila acting bitchy and all. hmm...

4 - aku rasa transition dari satu scene ke satu scene tu sangat cepat. kadang aku tak sempat nak feel. kadang aku macam 'eh dah sampai part ni dah'. faham tak bila tengah-tengah feel tu nak muncul terus potong stim bila dah beralih ke scene yang lain.

5 - cinematography sangat cantik. tengah wondering dorang shooting katne especially villa2 tuh. kalau nak ikutkan dalam novel Izzah sebenarnya tinggal kat kondo tapi dalam ni dia duk villa. bolehlah dimaafkan sebab kawasan yang cantik. hehe.

6 - lagu OST Ombak Rindu yang Hafiz & Adira nyanyi tu gila bestttttt!!! lirik best, melodi best. boleh jadi juara lagu. ececeh. sampai keluar panggung pun lagu tu terngiang-ngiang kat kepala ni. "Tuhan, tolong lembutkan hati dia, untuk terima ku seadanya...."

7 - dari sepuluh bintang, aku bagi...7 lah. bukan bermaksud tak best ek. aku rasa better kot dari lagenda budak setan. aku rasalaaa....walaupun sebagai pembaca novel yang tegar aku rasa macam something missing, aku still rasa yang you guys should give this movie a try. especially those yang jiwang macam aku ni. ataupun couple yang sodang bercinta. macam couple yang duk sebelah aku masa tengok cerita ni. siap guna lengan baju nak lap air mata. yang pompuannye lah.

last but not least...

dah jatuh cinta gila vavi dengan Aaron Aziz. kthxbai.

The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn (Review)

so i've watched Breaking Dawn last week. movie yang paling dinanti-nantikan oleh twilighters sekalian alam. kalau ikutkan memang dari segi novel, Breaking Dawn is the best. my fave among the series. bila baca novel dia perghh memang feeling habis. unfortunately, i'm not feeling it from the movie. entahlah. rasa macam kurang umpph lah. maybe because it's part 1 kan. ke sebab scene katil-patah-while-having-sex telah dicut for Malaysian viewer terus tak feel tengok? haha. bukan sebab tu lah hamboi-hamboi. lagipun dah tahu punya, confirm kena cut scene tu. so tak berharap sangat lah part tu. haha.

what i am most disappointed about is the birth scene sebenarnya. rasa macam terlalu simple. dalam buku memanglah cerita detail macam mana venom tu masuk dalam diri Bella bla bla bla. tapi yang movie ni just tetiba tunjuk blood vein macam ala-ala CSI lah pulak. then suddenly scene Rosalie pegang Renesmee and baju Edward berlumuran darah. cam tu je. eh ke cinema yang aku pergi ni je yang potong part-part birth? huhu...

lagi satu. part serigala bercakap sesama mereka. perlu kah?

okay. my favourite part pulak? dah tentu-tentulah scene wedding kan. cliche betul aku ni. sebab apa suka sangat? well, selain dari sweet gilavavi and super gorgeous decoration, it is mainly because dorang tunjukkan flashback scenes from the first movie. heart it a lot. lagi-lagi diorang letak lagu 'Flightless Bird, American Mouth' as the background music when they recite their vows. terus rasa aaahhhhh...swoon.

dari 10 bintang, i give this a movie a 7. mainly because of the wedding scene. not the honeymoon part since i feel like it was a bit exaggerated. lama gila honeymoon tapi main chess je lebih. boleh? i truly feel like it's worth watching lah especially those getting married. boleh tiru decoration macam dalam movie ni. hehe. 

footnote : can't wait for the movie 'The Avengers' to hit theaters! 

the cave of the golden rose

korang pernah tengok tak cerita ni? what?! tak pernah ke?  *gasp!*  mesti korang 90's babies or lahir on the 21st century kan. sayangnyaaa korang missed out on one of the greatest drama on tv. well, greatest according to me lah kan. heehee. for those of you yang sebaya-sebaya 'muda' macam zamri rockers kan *cough* mesti korang pernah tengok kan or maybe heard of it...i was still in primary school (darjah 6 kot) when i watched this series. obses ok obses. rasanya masa tu hampir satu sekolah duk cerita pasal series ni lagi-lagi saya yang sekolah perempuan. ramai lah asyik-asyik duk sebut-sebut nama ramualdo lah, tarabas lah. yours truly dah of course lah tak terkecuali heeee  (^__^)v

siapa yang saya suka? d'uh! dah tentu-tentulah yang paling hot, yang paling handsome, yang paling smart, yang paling awesome, yang paling mempunyai mata yang cantik, yang paling...yang paling hot sekali (eh dah cakap hot tadi ek)...tak lain dan tak bukan....

malam mingguku kian terisi...woohooo!!

i will miss them

it all has come to an end. after 7 books and 8 films, Harry Potter has come to an end. sob sob. sedih sikit. sebab being a huge fan of the franchise since i was 16 years old terasa macam kehilangan lah pulak lepas ni dah takde dah filem and buku Harry Potter ni. ececeh ayat tak menahan kan. tapi ye lah, bayangkan i've been the follower of this franchise sampai lah dah berumur 26 tahun ni. 10 years. 10 bewitching years. i'm a fan of the books as well as the films.

untuk filem yang pertama, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, saya tak baca pun buku dia mula-mula. cuma tertarik tengok trailer dia sebab saya memang suka cerita-cerita yang imaginary ni, yang fantasi-fantasi ni (budak-budak sungguh!) tu yang pergi tengok. lepas dah tengok tu macam, perghh! bestnya cerita ni. terus pinjam buku kat member nak baca buku dia. nak beli adeh, manalah mampu 16 tahun nak beli buku mahal-mahal kan. once i've read the book, i was totally hooked up.

source

since then on, pinjam buku Harry Potter sampai series ke berapa entah, before the second movie was released. rasanya masa Harry Potter and the Chamber Of Secrets keluar tahun 2002 masa saya Form 5. nak dekat SPM kot kalau tak salah, paper Fizik. wah sampai gitu kau ingat heh! pergi tengok wayang gak. patutlah Fizik dapat 6 muahaha. anyway, sampai bila kan nak pinjam buku orang. last-last beli sendiri buku Harry Potter tu walaupun tak semua siri beli. setakat ni yang ada dalam koleksi buku nombor 2, nombor 6 (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) and the last one, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. buku nombor 1, 3 (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban), 4 (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) and the fifth book, Harry Potter and the Order Of The Phoenix semua tu pinjam. maleh nak beli. well, more likely tak cukup duit sebenarnya hehe.

source

sesiapa yang baca buku dulu, mesti rasa buku is much better than the films...tapi saya rasa dua-dua best. i don't think the books will be uber popular without the help of the films and same goes to the films. takkannye lah successful without the books. i'm planning to get my hands on all the films' DVD. yup, memang dari dulu tak beli sebab nak tunggu DVD collection of the completed series. walaupun rasa macam akan mahal je beratus-ratus ringgit tapi it's worth it baby! bayangkan layan Harry Potter dari first film sampai last film dalam masa satu hari. mak datuk, mesti best. hmmm...perlu ambil cuti lah nak buat camtu kan. haha. ada tak orang ambil cuti semata-mata nak duduk rumah tengok DVD dari pagi sampai malam? ;p

i've watched the last installment of Harry Potter (The Deathly Hallows) twice, i tell you! semata-mata takmo lepaskan Harry dari depan mata walaweh. dialog-dialog filem pun dah a few yang hafal (poyo). yang spells dari filem Harry Potter pun dah tau makna dah. my favourite spells dah tentulah - Expelliarmus! and Stupefy! anyway, nak tahu senarai spells from HP, check this one out! (what is spells in malay? is it jampi?)...anyway, so long Harry Potter! you will be missed :'(

footnote : masih rasa tak percaya dah habis dah Harry Potter.

the day i turned 26

30 JUN 2011

12.01 pagi - sms bertubi masuk wishing me happy birthday. tapi entah kenapa malam tu gua tidur awal siot. ngantuk nooo. ada yang saya sempat saya balas. ipod pun asyik bunyi notification tone tanda orang komen kat my facebook wall, lupa lak off wi-fi. tapi i reallllyyyyyy appreciate all the wishes. terharu terharu. thanks a lot! 

6.45 pagi - got a wish from my dearest daddy! through sms. yes, duduk serumah tapi pagi mesti tak sempat jumpa kadang-kadang. selalu masa dia left for work pagi-pagi tu saya sedang 'sabunnnn di bilik mandiii...sabunnn'.

1.00 tengahari - lunch treat oleh vendor. di Old Town Cyberjaya. kenapa kat Cyber? sebab ada keje sikit kat sana. saya ni kalau orang mentioned je kata nak belanja mulalah fikir nak yang palinggg sedap dan palinggg mahal. haha. kejam. tapi sebab tak lapar sangatkan so macam order biasa-biasa je. order paratha apetah. tapi tak habis. pas kat member minta dia habiskan. masa tu rasa, huh nyesal tak order toast tu je. sedapnyaaa....cilok kawan punya sikit. hehe.

2.00 petang - nak sambung balik kerja lah kan kat TM Cyberjaya tu, sekali tu........BAMMMM!!! ACCIDENT pula kat depan bangunan Shell. i was on the passenger's seat kat belakang. a friend was driving my car when another car hit us on the driver's side masa the other party tu nak buat u-turn kat junction yang tak boleh u-turn. dia kata dia tak perasan kereta weols. sakit gak lah badan, terhentak ke kerusi depan (tu la tak pakai lagi seatbelt belakang!). shaking siot. sampai rasa terketar-ketar nak pegang handphone nak call ayah. selalu masa accident mesti saya macam blank tak tahu nak buat apa. masa yang lain keluar kereta, boleh plak saya still duduk dalam kereta tengok dorang deal dengan the other party. lambat sikit nak gain momentum. huhu. dah reda rasa terkejut tu, baru gelabah keluar. ambil gambar crime scene cewah. then gedebak gedebuk (itu bukan bunyi bertumbuk harap maklum ;p), kena buat police report sebab nak claim insurance dia. i'm pretty sure we're on the right side. KAMI TAK BERSALAH. ewah.

3.00 petang - melilau cari balai polis Cyberjaya. kenapa lah terceruk noo balai polis tu. pusing sana pusing sini cari. bila buat report tu sementara nak tunggu sarjan datang, lepak kat balai polis tu layan cerita Philippines - Marimar. wahh motif saya takde perasaan siap boleh senyum layan telenovela. haha. member komen 'cik ezzan boleh senyum lagi'...ate, takkan nak nangis kot. hehe. saya selalu memang sengih je. masa accident dulu dengan ummu pun boleh plak saya gelak. masa dengan maisarah pun, boleh gak siap buat lawak-lawak. i don't like to think about what happened that much. tapi masa duduk-duduk tu kan ada gak lah terfikir...boleh plak kan accident masa birthday. kira macam birthday present lah ni. hehe. konpom ingat sampai bila-bila...hehe. eh dah dah tak payahlah nak rasa bersalah ek bahrin...;p benda dah nak jadi kot....ezan tak salahkan pun, kena belanja ezzan TGI Friday je cewah muahaha...

6.00 petang - 2 days before dd dah beritahu nak belanja tengok wayang 'Transformers' on my birthday. dorang dah booked tiket. terpaksa lah cancel cakap dengan dd. walaupun memang nak tengok sangat tapi takkan accident-accident ni nak kuar tengok wayang kan. kena marah dengan ayah kang lagi parah...then, dd & kheri decide nak datang rumah petang tu. konon macam nak jumpa lah. ceh macam melawat mangsa kemalangan plak rasa. sekali tu, lebih surprise lagi...dd bawak kek!!! OMG!!! terharunyaaaa!!!! i'm sooo touched!

7.00 petang - pujuk punya pujuk parents saya, akhirnya diorang bagi saya pergi tengok wayang. yes, dah 26 tahun still minta izin hokayyy...huhu. terus lah nyah kami pergi tengok wayang. dorang belanja makan plak. OMG. terharu sangat macam tak henti senyum-senyum. weols makan Ichiban Ramen. my first time. memang tak pernah masuk ok restoran ni. tak tahu nak order macam mana and nak makan apa. kang salah order tak kena plak dengan tekak. tapi gamble je lah. bila dah makan tu rasa macam sedap gak makanan jepun ni. selalu sushi je kan. ni try ramen plak. not bad gak lah. heee :)

9.00 malam - time for Transformers 3!!! yeahhh....tapi kan tapi kannnnnnnnn....banyak kali saya nguap noks masa tengok cerita tu. penat duduk pun ada. siap fikir 'bila nak habis ni?'..huhu. surprisingly, i don't find the autobots fight tu interesting pun. sama je macam dulu. saya lebih suka masa human soldiers buat strategi nak lawan dengan decepticons. best. tu yang lebih menarik. bagi saya lah. heee...and then, the new actress yang replace megan fox tu cam takde point pun berlakon cerita tu. takde chemistry pun dengan shia. lebih prefer shia and megan walaupun takdelah suka sangat megan fox tu. eh jap ni review movie ke review birthday haha.

all and all, i think my 26th birthday was.......memorable! yup, that will sum up the whole day. there's happy, shock, surprise and of course, food! haha. sedih itu langsung takde...heee...

super 8

tengok wayang lagi. tak habis-habis menghabiskan duit. ingatlah sikit cik ezzan oiii awak tu nak kumpul duit nak beli iPhone4. siusiusiu. tapikan bila jejak je kaki kat JJ mesti kaki ni gatal pergi jalan ke TGV tu, tangan pun gatal nak bazirkan duit. ishh kena make it a habit not to stop by at the shopping mall on my way home! bahayaaa...

so, what the movie is all about? one sentence only : ALIENS YANG NAK BALIK PLANET DIA SELEPAS LAMA DITAHAN OLEH US AIR FORCE TAPI TERLEPAS PASTU DIA ATTACK MANUSIA. habis...dah tak saspen kan. huhu. korang pernah tengok tak trailer cerita ni before cerita ni kuar kat wayang? saya masa tengok trailer ni macam wondering apa yang berlaku. kiranya macam trailer movie ni very successful! sebab makes me wanted to know what happened. dalam trailer takde satu pun tunjuk alien ni. lagi-lagi saya yang jenis tak baca sinopsis dia. so memang tak sangka lah ni cerita pasal alien. hee. overall, awal-awal tu agak slow sikit sampai rasa nak terlelap masa the first 20 minutes tu. then, perasaan excited tu muncul sebab penatkan asyik terkejut so tu yang lepas tu, tak berkelip mata tengok. oh ye! pada korang yang akan tengok cerita ni, please stay sampai credits keluar. jangan lepas lampu bukak korang terus keluar. tunggu tau. duduk je kat seat tu. kalau tak melepaslah korang...

Anyway, here's the partial synopsis of the movie from Wikipedia : 

Underaged Alice drives Joe and his friends Charles, Preston, Martin and Tom into an abandoned farm to shoot a zombie movie on Super 8 mm film. During the production they witness a pick-up truck drive onto the tracks ahead of an oncoming train, causing a massive derailment. The kids run up to the truck and discover Dr. Woodward, their biology teacher, behind the wheel of the truck. He instructs them to forget what they saw, otherwise they and their families will be killed. want more?  go and check out the movie!

so korang nak tahu kenapa cerita ni dinamakan Super 8? bukan sebab nama alien tu Super 8 ataupun dia sangat good looking dah macam adik beradik dengan Superman ke apa. bagi yang tak tahu apa itu Super 8 macam saya ni, Super 8 tu sebenarnya video camera used for making movies. no, bukan yang camera yang make movies macam sekarang tu. macam ni bentuknya...

nak end macam ni je boleh tak? heee...

X-Men First Class

dah tengok dah. yey! macam biasa, tak reti review. cuma bagi saya yang tak baca komik X-Men atau tengok kartun X-Men ni, kira macam terjawablah beberapa persoalan sebelum ini. macam..."kenapa Charles Xavier berkerusi roda?"..."macam mana Magneto mula-mula jumpa Charles?"..."siapa yang reka helmet Magneto tu pakai?"..."siapa yang cipta Cerebro?"..so on and so forth. nak tahu macam mana Prof. X boleh berkerusi roda akibat ditembak (well, tertembak sebenarnya) oleh siapa, pergilah tengok. tak saspen lah nak gtau kat sini cewah. oh ye, lupa nak mentioned yang dalam filem X-Men ini ada special cameo from Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) dan Mystique yang dah dewasa (Rebecca Romjin). walaupun setakat 10 saat je. hehe. anyway, rupanya kan sebelum dorang ni bergelar X-Men, diorang ni G-Men (euuwww kenapakah daku terbayang bunyinya macam gay men? haha). Kira dulu G-Men ni include Mystique and Magneto lah. semasa dorang bersatu-padu. masa Charles & Magneto berkawan rapat.

Prof. X before he became....well, Prof. X yang botak dan berkerusi roda. James McAvoy playing the role of Charles Xavier. the founder of X-Men. the love of my life. cewah muahaha. 

overall i think it's ok gak lah. huh, saya ni semuanya ok. maybe i'm bias sebab deeply in love dengan James McAvoy tapi entahlah, saya rasa ok je movie dia. cuma terlalu banyak mutant sampai tak ingat nama watak haha. ada yang dah tengok macam komen terlalu banyak kata-kata tak banyak aksi. well, true. not much action. tapikan...derrr, whatddya expect? kata first class kot. depa berceritalah macam mana terjadinya X-Men ni. takkan awal-awal sebelum tertubuhnya X-Men ni dah aksi macam-macam kan. kalau awal-awal dah aksi, buat apa dia buat movie First Class ni. baik dia buat X-Men Second Class or Economy Class ke kan. heh!

kaki wayang

for the past two weeks, saya ni asyik jeee tengok wayang. asal balik dari kerja je pergi tengok wayang. asal kena kerja kat KL je balik tu singgah KLCC mesti gi tengok wayang. sampai dah wondering cerita apa saya nak tengok ni ek. akan hampa kalau cerita yang ingin ditengok tapi tak show lak kat wayang tu. ni semua start lepas balik dari induksi hari tu.

kira dari 24 Mac hari tu sampai lah 8 April semalam, odah dah tengok 6 filem dah noks. mula-mula tengok Merong Mahawangsa. tengok sorang je lepas balik induksi tu dengan beg besar sekali belum sempat sampai rumah, jejak kaki kat JJ dulu. lepas Merong, tengok Battle LA dengan geng bandung during the weekend. then lepas kerja hari Selasa, rasa macam bosan nak kena tunggu bonda (ececeh!) lama tengok cerita Rango kat KLCC. pastu tengok cerita Cun! lak sebab pakwe remy ishak berlakon. i jatuh cintaaaa sama dia. lepas tengok Cun! minggu yang sama juga saya tengok Just Go With It. semalam saya bosan nak release tension sikit lepas tak habis-habis meeting, lalu saya tengok cerita Rio.

semua filem best. Merong best gak. rasa macam handsome noo lah si Stephen Rahman ni. Battle LA saya tengok sampai rasa penat. sebab apa penat? asyik perang je sampai rasa bila nak habis ni? asyik tembak-tembak. hehe. Rango pun ok lah gak walaupun mula-mula macam agak bosan pun ada tapi lama-lama tu macam ok (ceh ke sebab terbayang Johnny Depp tu yang boleh layan je cerita ni..hehe). Cun! pulak...wahhhh best-best. rasa sesuai sangat Maya Karin dengan Remy Ishak ni walaupun dalam hati ada cemburu tengok mereka wuwuwu...Just Go With It memang kelakar der. adalah juga banyak scene X-rated and banyak potong tapi still boleh accept lah. (motif mata kanan bengkak macam tembel lepas tengok cerita ni? hoho). then the latest one, Rio. antara 6 filem yang saya tengok, paling disukai tentulah.........Rio!! best woahhh. saya gi tengok sorang pun asyik duk gelak. lagi-lagi terbayang jesse eisenberg jadi Blu. comelnyeeee lah burung-burung tu. rasa nak cium je.

so, what's next to watch? rasa macam nak tengok cerita Source Code. wahh kemain kooo mentang-mentang sekarang dah tak jadi programmer, rindu nak tengok source code. ahaks!

Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows : Part 1

yeay! dah tengok HP7! orang lain cuti balik kampung, saya cuti balik Hogwarts. ececeh. overall i think it was quite good...although it wasn't quite what i had imagined. because there were less fight scenes but i guessed they just wanted to save the best for last. i kinda expect more towards the ending and i know people would say 'nama pun part 1 kan' but i wished there were some extra ummphh at the end. and oh yeah, forgot to mention this HP7 part 1 was quite funny. especially the 'twilight' scene which i thought was hilarious. twilight what? well, you gotta see it to understand it. those battle twilight vs harry potter suddenly comes to mind. even though i don't get it. there were also some surprise scenes that kinda shocked me a little bit especially the one with the snake.

in this movie, the trio (hermoine, ron and harry) went on a journey to find the remaining horcrux. so basically it centers on the three main characters. that's probably why you won't be seeing other characters that much like snape, draco malfoy, fred and george, luna and ginny just to name a few.

anyway, i've read the books like a gazillions years ago so i kinda forgot about certain scenes in the film. hmm gotta read the book back i think. i seriously can't wait for next year! man, that's gonna be a really loooooonnnngggg wait...

motif saya speaking london tetiba? dengan grammar lintang pukang. suka hati je kau ek odah...oh ye, is there any 3D version in Malaysia? i want to watch it for the second time but with 3D. kalau ada siapa tahu, let me know ye. thanks.
