Legend Of The Guardians: The Owls Of Ga'hoole

I think that's it.. I think.. haha...

Legend Of The Guardians: The Owls Of Ga'hoole

This was the last movie i saw before I went on holiday after my final exams.. (now=holiday!)

There was of course a LOT more movies before that, heck, even in that week itself... I tend to watch more movies in exam week coz I can't study without the entertainment in between... 5 hours of study n 1 movie~~ huhuuu

Okay, back to Legend Of The Guardians: The Owls Of Ga'hoole...

The movie has a 3D version, but as always coz I'm a stingy movie addict, I watched the non-3D version.... mostly since I thought the graphics was damn beautiful, even without the 3D.... and I was right of coz! :P

there was a slight disturbance in the cinema since this IDIOT slept and didn't put his phone on silent mode... f****r!!! hahaha... i hate these ignorant people.. I was trying to have a good time...

Anyways, the movie was beautiful! the story line was good... the actions was great i guess, if u can imagine how owls would fight in the air.... huhuu... the graphics was superb... the morality was definitely there... touching family, brotherhood, childhood fantasies, trying to be brave in the face of danger, and pushing yourself to the limit.... the ending strongly suggest there be a sequel to this one.. I'll be there to watch it hopefully... :)

A good watch... just try to come during school time or something... noisy kids ruins everything! *sue me, i hate noisy kids, especially in cinema!*

The Backup Plan

Venue: MBO Melaka Mall

Date: 1 July 2010

Time: 6.15pm

Company: cik Mira

its been too long since last posted... don't know why im getting lazier, and since my netbook is officially broken, i don't really have the means to write anyway.. sori, but i hope to make it all up in these few days... :P

A spur at the moment and surprised that I forgot the movie was coming out today, I jumped at the chance to see it as early as it can get...

The movie was moving rather slow at the beginning, but somehow the starting feels a little too sudden and fast. The second part was regretfully, a bit too slow suddenly, then it went into 5th gear again... yeah, it was a bit confusing..

The attempts at making jokes didn't work out at first, but it got more convincingly funny to the end of the movie...

Strirred up all kinds of emotion from me... sad, romantic, touching, happy, and frustrated in just 2 hours..

great watch with the gurlz on a girls night out...

-- Quickies --

:P

im too lazy.. so here goes all the quickies!!! :P

Robin Hood- awesome medieval time action/war/romance movie... definitely recommend to watch..

A Nightmare On Elm Street- the scare comes from the suspense n gore!! if that's ur thing, than this is it. Nice for first dates.. :P

Shrek Forever After: 3D- Not as comical and belly tickling as the last 2, yet touching us all in different new ways..... a bit too serious of issues for children in my opinion.. :P

Furry Vengeance- super hilarious!!!! do i need to say more? :P

Belukar- I thought it was a horror, turns out it's a criminal planning movie, almost like 'the Italian job' or something.... but they steal from the bad boss... very nice plot for a local movie... i was pleasantly surprised!

***

The Karate Kid- a nice movie, not at all comparable to the first ever karate kid though.... and it's Kung Fu~~~ it's NOT karate.... *weird*

Nanny McPhee n the Big Bang- very entertaining.... hilarious and full of serious life lessons at the same time.... dealing with a divorce in the world war age is really almost no difference than nowadays~~ and sappy romantic happy endings has always been my favorite.. :P

The A-Team- it was almost like sitting in a roller coaster at funfair, except it felt even more fun and there's more adrenaline pumping through my body... and it's not even 3D at all.... action junkies can't miss this at all...

Prince Of Persia- whatever is meant to happen, would happen anyway, one way or another.. :P... Love, time travel, war, and throne stealer are everywhere and making me dizzy.... a bit confusing at first, but then ALL my questions are answered, so good... *i don't like unanswered questions in a movie, drives me crazy*

The Killers- i have to confess that i watched it for the purpose of looking at Ashton's hot body... but the action is good, it was funny and exciting, but a bit annoying too.... :P but u'll see a side of both Ashton and Katherine that i've never seen in before in their previous movies...

Sex and The City 2

I'm getting lazier to post here since my broadband modem was broken a few weeks ago, but now that I've bought a new one, hope i'll post more often ok? :P

Venue: GSC Dataran Pahlawan

Date: 22 June 2010

Time: 9.15pm

Company: cik Mira

A confusion made me have to pay twice the price of the tickets cos we mistakenly bought the movie tickets twice! hahaa... :P with that accident, i went in the cinema with a higher expectation than what i came with trying to justify paying RM16 for a non-3D movie!

The movie starts off nostalgically.... trying to accommodate even the ones who came to watch that don't have a clue what this 'Sex and the City' is all about at all.... a little recap can go a long way.. :P

The plot was not surprising, yet didn't bore me. The outfits, was as always, outrageous as ever. The girls are trying to defy getting older, like they always try to. Marriage conflicts though were dealt with more in this installment as 3 of the girls are already married now. In Abu Dhabi, where most of the film was shot, issues relating to oppression of sexual freedom and women as second class are seen and handled with a comic twist, yet still feels very serious and the message was clearly send across, to me atleast. Some motherhood troubles are at bay, and girl to girl talk always saves the day. Lots of homosexuality was also present and got me thinking whether it has anything to do with recent same-sex marriage recognition in the US these last few months.....

I love the soundtrack that sounds fresh and new with a few top pop chart numbers that got me singing along. The locations where the movie was shot were simply breathtakingly beautiful. It is indeed 'The New Middle East' :P

All in all, i would say that it was not disappointing, yet not a letdown. After all, since when did a sequel ever surpass the original anyway??? Especially since this one was originally a 5 season drama~~

p.s- i'll post all the quickie reviews of all the movies i saw in between this and the last review in a while.... hehee :P

Exam week!

I've been not posting for quite a while because of exam week.... but since now that it's over... let's just recap what movie i saw but was too lazy to post here since the last one.. (hooperz)

(in no particular order since i can't remember)

Robin Hood

A Nightmare on Elm Street

Shrek forever after: 3D

When in Rome (again)

Furry Vengeance

Belukar

that's it I think.....

got a throbbing headache now... gonna post the reviews individually later... much later.. :P

??Hooperz??

Venue: MBO Melaka Mall

Date: 3/05/2010

Time: 2pm (right after i finish typing a due essay :P)

i know2.... what was i thinking right???????????? exactly! I would have been better off re-watching Iron Man, Kick-Ass, The Losers, When In Rome or even watch Ice Kacang Puppy Love~~ hahahaa...

i used the member's waiting room at MBO to finish my due essay, so i felt guilty if i did not watch any movie...

Statement= it was soo stupid that i laughed and it was soo bad that it hurts.. :P

Bullsh** of a movie, cr**.... seriusly.... don't ever go watch!!! even if you are a big fan of any of the actors in it.. you would hate each and every one of them in the end for even agreeing to act for this one...

first, the plot was all over the place... the ugly GCI didn't help either... there are too much focus on all the characters that none of them got the proper character development needed, maybe just the team captain, yet that is even still weak... the 'coach D' character was given an introduction, but was cut off before we could figure out any real facts....

I can't find anything good to say about this movie at all... sorry :P

and oh yeah, the romance in this movie is SUPER awkward...

it's simple to say that there are a LOT of unfinished business in this movie, yet if they ever get the funding to do a sequel, i'm the first one to swear out!!!

p.s- *spolier?* what's with the super ugly and idiotic 'joker' right before every game starts????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? that made me want to puke.

p.s.s- i DONT hate malay movies btw.... just that not much came up to my standards :P

The Losers :P

Venue: MBO Melaka Mall

Date: 22nd April 2010

Company: PMS and depression mode~

I forgot to write about THE LOSERS that i saw before this... don't know why i forgot, it was an awesome action movie... maybe because i was crying quarter of the time... huhuu.. *this movie won't make you cry though*

As usual, the quick fix for my depression mode is= movie alone! huhuu... and what a pleasant surprise that The Losers was in cinema that day.. (i heard on 8tv quickie that The Losers didn't come out yet after i had already seen it= weird!)

true to its R rating in the USA, this is NOT a movie to bring ur kids to... especially if they're under 13 years old, not that you could sneak in a baby in this one...

Zoe Saldana is REALLY skinny btw... haha..

Super movie for the action addicts out there... and does satisfy my drama hunger side too... :P

The movie has a super evil villain that is apparently an environmentalist! hahaha...

super hot s** scene between zoe and jeffrey~~ *sorry im spoiling a bit :P*

and ofcourse..... super huge guns and explosives and even superbly on aim shooting!!!

the losers is definitely no laughing matter.... :)

even if they are THE LOSERS, they sure are HOT losers!!!!! :P

Iron Man 2

Venue: MBO Melaka Mall
Date: 29 April 2010
Time: 6.15pm
Company: Arul n her sis

The movie that we have been waiting to come out.... like any other sequel, it does not live up to its expectation... i guess... although i must say that the high tech really does turn me on.. hahha...

I did not come in late to the cinema, but somehow i noticed a scene that was in the trailer was missing in the whole movie.. weird.. the scene where his assistant (Gwyneth Paltrow) kisses his helmet right before he took a plunge out the airplane... if anyone saw the movie and noticed the scene though, please do tell... huhuu

as that was the first screening of the movie in MBO, u can guess that the hall was packed almost full.. since i came with Arul and her sis, i had to take a seat almost near the upper end of the hall (not my favourite place to be) it was okay though, but the screen did seem a bit small from that far... there was a family who brought a baby along infront, and kept passing the baby back and forth from the front seat to 2 seats in front... but thankfully, the baby didn't cry at all or i would have had to be a lil evil... hehehee...

Overall, it was quite an enjoyable movie... quite unbelievable in the tech n science theories, but it IS a movie after all... to be taken to some place you may never go, that is what i have always imagine the movies that i watched do to me... they take me where i cannot go.. no matter physically, mentally, psychologically, socially, or even technology wise... :P

for those who have watched Iron Man, the logical step is to watch this movie no matter what the critics have to say about it... that's what i think at least... why let someone else opinions get to your head?? experience it yourself and then make up your mind.. no two minds think alike right??

Have fun! though u might want to wait a bit until the crowd subside on this one since watching a movie with a lot of distractions is not the way to go... :P

When In Rome

Venue: MBO Melaka Mall

Date: 27/4/2010

Time: 7.15pm

Company: Arul

I regretted not watching this movie earlier... it was SUPER funny!!!! and as the hall of MBO cinema is always near empty, only my laughter and maybe another one or two person are heard above the sounds form the speaker... huhuu...

the storyline was bit confusing and making us guess leading to the end of the movie, but it was all worth it! :P

even minor characters made an impact on screen although they only appear merely seconds... the character that i felt was the funniest= the magicians helper with the camera!! (you'll know what i'm talking about if you watch it..)

and the ticket was only RM7 each... maybe because the movie has been on for quite some time...

and i think Josh Duhamel could not get any hotter than in 'Las Vegas' but he did!! in this movie, he appeared more romantic and sweet though... :) i want the pic of him in the movie though... super HOT...

this is not really a movie just for the romantic at heart... also for those looking for a good belly laugh after a bad day... or just for having fun with friends.... :P
