Salam and hello everyone. Year 2009 was a great year with a lot of interesting to watch movies shown throughout the year. Well, some of it were great movies to watch and another some of it were nice movies to watch whenever you don’t have any other movies to watch, and another some of it, really not worth to watch. Spending hours in front of the screen with a movie that will end up you say, “What the heck?“, “Is that all?” or even worse “I shouldn’t watch this movie, it is just wasting my money” is really waste of time. Haha. Whatever it is, in this entry I’m going to list out from my personal point of view, top 10 2009 must watch movies. Some of these movies were reviewed in this blog in Movie Review and some of it are not because some of these movies were not showing here in Malaysia (Well, my movie reviews in this blog are based on the movies I’ve watched in the cinema). Well, you know really well where to get all those movies even it is not showing in Malaysia, right?

You might wondering why I bother to list these movies even they are all last year movies. Well, some of you might yet watching some of these movies or maybe this list can be as a recommendation for you which movies you should buy when you step in into CD/DVD shop or which movies you should download. Well, here it is, top 10 2009 must watch movies.

1. Avatar. I don’t think I need to write a review for this movie, this movie was totally awesome and absolutely a must watch movie for 2009! I titled it as movie of the year 2009!

2. Star Trek: The Future Begins. My own review on this movie can be read here.

3. The Twilight Saga: New Moon. For Twilight’s fans, this is really a must watch movie, but for a moviegoer like me, this movie still a good movie to watch.

4. Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

5. Up.

6. Paranormal Activity. If you love to watch ghost movies or want to challenge your bravery, watch this movie. I want to hear your response and feedback after watching this movie. Even Steven Spielberg doesn’t watch this movie until the end. Haha! This movie will be showing in Malaysia on 7 January 2010 onwards, but I think and expect, a lot of scenes in the movie will be cut off. Believe me. I have watched this movie and I don’t think FINAS will just let it is showing the way it should be shown.

7. Night at the Museum 2: Battle of Smithsonian.

8. G-Force.

9. Moon. A great movie with a simple storyline, but brings so many messages and emotions. A great choice of movie to buy its DVD as collection.

10. 9. Yes, the movie title is 9.

So, these are all the movies of 2009 which I categorize it as top 10 2009 must watch movies and great choice of movies for collection. Some of you may have your own recommended 2009 movies, so do recommend it here. Maybe it will be my next choice of movies to watch or buy it DVD. So, do you have any great 2009 movies you want to recommend me? Write it down below ya!

Salam and hello everyone. For this time, I’m going to write a quick review (ya, you may call it a quick review or otherwise; depending on how you define the word “quick” haha! ) about the movie that I have watched recently, 2012. Have anyone here never heard about this movie before? Well, it is okay if you never heard of it before, maybe because you are not interested into watching movies or maybe you never think to know or hear about it. Well, whatever it is, here is the official trailer about the movie that I’m going to review. Watch it and word it out what you think about this movie from this official movie trailer.

Well, some of us called it “movie of the year 2009“, “a must watch movie of the year 2009″ etc. And I can’t deny that, I’m the one who were waiting for it showing date really much. Anyway, does this so-called “movie of the year” worth to watch? My review is going to elaborate what my thought about this 2012 movie and my expectation before I stepped into the cinema hall.

I have watched the trailer for this 2012 movie about months ago, plus with so many contests organized by some big companies in conjunction of this movie has made me eager to watch and curious to know, what is so special about the movie. Even, GSC (Golden Screen Cinema) official website went into text-only mode during it first showing week and I can’t even do any online booking for this movie. See? No wonder this movie went to box-office in less than a week! During the day I went to buy the ticket and watch 2012, all tickets for this movie were selling fast for all sessions! My cousins and I were lucky enough because we still managed to get some seats, at the first row from the screen! Ok, enough talking about all these and let’s proceed with the review.

Okay, this movie started with discovery of neutrinos from solar flare that have penetrated the Earth and caused its core temperature increasing rapidly. From my understanding, these neutrinos caused the Earth unstable, mega earthquakes around the globe and super mega tsunami with 1.5km height of wave! Can you imagine that? So, to ensure the continuity of human life from these disasters, the G8 countries (how about other countries?) have collaborated to build a series of gigantic arks in the Himalayas. Well, this is the brief idea of the storyline for this movie. You might think some of it doesn’t make sense and illogic, but that is the science fiction is all about. Well, in my honest opinion, the storyline for this movie was disappointed and it was expected from a director of “The Day After Tomorrow” and “Independence Day”. The ending part of this movie is bad for me. Start a new life in Africa?

Next is about the CGI that have been used in this movie. One word, super-greatest-wow-awesome-CGI. One word, isn’t? I can’t deny the CGIs were great and maybe the greatest so far compared to any other movies before. If you love to see all those CGI effects, this movie might be the one you should watch.

So, what else should I review? Storyline, plot and CGIs are all done. Nothing much to story about this movie, the only attraction for people to watch this movie is just because of it super great promotion and CGIs that have been used in this movie, and not for its storyline which I rated it bad. For a movie that will make you to stay at your seat for about 2 hours 30 minutes with bad storyline (otherwise you just want to enjoy its awesome CGIs), this movie really not worth to watch. It is just a waste of time compared to Star Trek which has great storyline and balance it with great CGIs that make it a great movie to watch. With so high expectation about this movie, but end up disappointed with bad storyline, I would rate this movie 2.5 out of 5. If you don’t agree with me, you can watch it and rate it by yourself. So, are you going to watch it? For you who already watch it, what do you think? Do you have any other feedback about this movie and how much would you rate it out of 5? Word it out and I’m willing to hear your opinion.

p/s: 2012 was not a trending topic in Twitter during it first showing week, but the new upcoming Twilight movie, is one of Twitter trending topic since last week. Cool?
p/p/s: Before I watch this movie, I have already heard about its bad rating. Well, I just want to watch it by myself, but end up with the same conclusion.

Salam and hello everyone. Before I start, I’m sorry if this short movie review is going to spoil your going-to-watch-mood for those who is yet watch this movie. But, if you eager to know what this movie is all about and what can you expect from your RM10 ticket, you may proceed your reading.

Before I start, let’s have brief introduction about the movie, GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra.

So, here is the short review of the movie. If you think I’m going to story in details about the movie, you’re wrong. What I’m going to tell is just the review. Hehehe. If you want to find some synopsis and spoilers, just Google it. You may find a lot of it on the net.

So, here is the review. If you love fiction movie with CGI graphics and high tech weapons, this movie might be one of the movies you should watch. I can say, the CGIs that have been used in this movie is awesome although some of it looks cartoon, but it was not so bad. At least, it is better compared to Cicakman. You also may expect many parts of the movie have been ‘CGI’ed, yes, a lot of CGIs. Some looks unrealistic for me, but I still can accept it.  If you love to see explosions with a lot of action pack, this movie is one of the movie you should watch. Owh, there was also a great weapon (like a gun I think ) that can destroy everything. Just shoot, everything will ‘kaboom!’. Hahaha, you’ve to watch it, then you’ll know what I meant. But, wait. Even the CGI is awesome, it doesn’t mean this movie is great. Hence, continue your reading.

I’m not a fan of cartoon version of GI Joe and I even didn’t watch it during its time. So, I have zero info about this movie. Speaking of the plot or storyline of the movie, I don’t think this movie has a great storyline. The story was so simple because most of the time, they fought. That’s why I say, this movie is full of actions. But, this movie still have some humour element inside. Well, for me this is to avoid the audience from getting boring watching a movie with so many CGIs and fighting part. At least, I can hear some laugh and voice from the audience and the cinema is not so silent until I feel like I’m the only one in the cinema. But, the overall storyline was simple and light, from the start until the end, they fought.

What’s more to say? Is there anything else you want to know beside about the CGIs and storyline? Maybe about the actor or actress? Should I review it too? Hoho.. Sienna Miller looks great and hot in this movie. But, I love to see Rachel Nichols more. So, you should watch it. Hahaha. Ok, as a conclusion, this movie is a nice movie to watch if you love to watch movie with a lot of actions, explosions and awesome CGIs, but not a great movie if you care about storyline. For GI Joe’s cartoon version fans, maybe you should watch this movie because I don’t know what is your expectation for those who watched its cartoon version. I’m not recommend you to watch this movie, but if your weekend is too bored and you don’t have any other movie options to watch, you can watch this movie. After all, I give this movie 3 stars out of 5. So, are you going to watch it?

p/s: Have you watched it? Glad to hear what’s your thought about this movie.

Salam and hello all. It was a long time I’m not writing movie reviews about the currently showing movies and now I think I want to write about it a bit. So for this time, I want to write a short movie review about one of currently showing movie right now, Star Trek: The Future Begins. I noticed about this sci-fi movie when I watched the trailer of this movie for the first time about month ago and I was looking forward to watch it since for a long time we have not watched this kind of sci-fi movie. Well, I mean a movie about a war in space which involves high-tech spaceships, laser weapons, etc. If we look back a few years ago, this movie originated from a tv series of Star Trek which at that time was quite popular. Anyway, it was not my favourite tv series though.

Some people maybe can accept this kind of sci-fi movie and maybe some are not. Anyway, I am the one that “maybe” can’t accept this kind of movie. Well, that was my first expectation before I step in into the cinema. Since my friend asked me to accompany him and watch this movie so, I just agreed with it. My first expectation was, this movie may not suit with me and I may be can’t accept this movie. Ok, leave my expectation for a while and let’s have some introduction for this movie. So, watch the trailer below for some brief intro about what this movie is all about.

Ok, have you finish watch the movie trailer of Star Trek: The Future Begins above? Ok, I would say, some of you will not be interested to watch this movie after you watch the trailer. It is the same with me before, but it’s okay. Please proceed your reading. I’ll going to explain to you why this movie is worth to watch.

Before I start, let’s have some synopsis about Star Trek: The Future Begins. Click only if you dare to click because it might contains spoilers. Hoho. Click here for synopsis.

When I watched the trailer for the first time, I think this movie might be likely Star Wars which I can’t accept at all. Sorry for Star Wars fans out there, I didn’t mean to insult you, but really, I can’t accept it. I know Star Wars movie series were a great series of movie, but maybe it just not suit me.

So, here is the short movie review about Star Trek: The Future Begins. The movie started at space which then continued with war scene between U.S.S Kelvin and Romulan. This awesome show of war scene at space with special effects and CGI at the beginning of the movie really impressed me a lot. The director and plot writer of this movie really have done a good job on attracting the audience attention at the beginning of the movie. And from my opinion, it was great. My first thought was, this attention-catch scene might just for the beginning, but I was wrong. The director has brilliantly composed a good plot to make sure this 2 hours 10 minutes movie wouldn’t get the audience boring with all those sci-fi elements, some physic and science theories that I can’t understand, “trans-warp” theory, “teleporting”, etc. And what the director did was, put some humor elements in the movie. Hey, include some humor element inside sci-fi movie is not a bad idea though because if these scenes were not there, I think I might end up sleeping inside the cinema. Hahaha.

Another first expectation before I watch this movie was, I might not understand the movie because I’m not fans of this Star Trek tv series and I already forgot what this tv series is all about. The reason maybe because I get confused with Star Gate. Hoho. This is really off topic. Ok, back to the review. But, my expectation went wrong again! Even I already forgot about the tv series of Star Trek and get confused with Star Gate, it doesn’t mean that I’ll end up understand nothing about this movie, no. The movie plot has been composed really well in this 2 hours 10 minutes movie and the director has used this long duration of time to story about the movie from the very beginning until the end, in details as possible. So, as the conclusion, it’ll not get you lost even if you have never watched the tv series of Star Trek before. Great, huh?

Another part that should be highlighted are CGI and special effects that have been used in this movie. Totally awesome. You can see how well the spaceships have been built and generated using CGI and the details when the spaceships were destroyed and exploded. You should watch it and you’ll know what I meant. It won’t disappoint you and I can guarantee it.

So, that’s what I want to say about this movie. Do you think this is a short movie review? Hehe. Ok, maybe I have dragged it a bit long, but anyway, as a conclusion, I rated this movie 5 out of 5, based on the well planned movie plot, CGI and special effects that have been used in this movie. I won’t comment on the acting part since I think all actors and actress have done a good job to make sure this movie is a success. So, how would you say about this movie? Have you watched it? If you have some words about this movie, may you share it here? Leave it at the comment section below and I would really appreciate hearing your opinion. Thank you.

p/s: Pay RM10 for 2 hours 10 minutes with so many wow elements, I think it is a worth movie to watch right now.

Salam and hello all. Huh, movie review again? Haha, anyway I know it is quite late for me to post this review since this movie already showing for a week. I watched this movie last week Friday but due to some reasons, this post was postponed until now. Hopefully it is okay since this movie still going on showing for another few weeks. So, for this time the review is about the second movie of Malaysian superhero, Cicakman 2 Planet Hitam (The Black Planet).

So without further ado, let me brief you with some information regarding this movie, Cicakman 2 Planet Hitam (The Black Planet).

Genre: Action / Comedy
General Release Date: 11 Dec 2008 (I watched it on 12 )
Running Time: 1 Hour 48 Minutes,
Distributor: Grand Brilliance
Cast: Aznil Hj Nawawi, Fasha Sandha, Saiful Apek
Director: Yusry Abdul Halim

This is the official trailer for Cicakman 2 Planet Hitam (The Black Planet). Maybe this trailer can attract your attention towards this movie. Anyway, there are 2 versions of this movie trailer, one in English and another one in Malay. The one embedded here is the English version. For Malay version, you may proceed here.

And this is the synopsis about the movie. Click here to read (Warning: May contain spoilers)

Ok, this is the short review about this movie from my personal point of view. I honestly say that, I’m not intent to watch any Malay movies at cinema because from my opinion, the genre always the same. Love, romance, humor and bla bla. I think you know what I meant. I rather wait for the movie to be shown on Astro although it’ll take time. And I’m not Cicakman fans either. But anyhow, this movie, Cicakman 2 Planet Hitam (The Black Planet) from my opinion has brought the level of Malaysia film industry one step forward. I’m not saying that I satisfied with this movie but I think it was a good initiative and try by Malaysian director to try something new.

Okay, this is what I want to say about this movie. I watched the first movie of Cicakman before this, several times at home, but never watch it until the end of the movie. Why? It was boring for me. Yes, the first movie for me is not so interesting, and makes the whole story boring. Till now, I don’t know how the first movie ends. But for the second movie, I can see there are a lot of improvement in term of the storyline and the content of the movie. The trailer of the movie itself already attracted me to watch it at the cinema although I very rare to spend my money watching Malay movie at the cinema. So, for this second movie of Cicakman, the overall storyline for me has well plotted and much more interesting compare to the first movie.

Next is about the CGI elements that were implemented almost 80% of the movie. The CGIs for me still need a lot of improvement. But, I can see there are certain elements that have been rendered and created very well such as the “orange” ghost (Lol, Ginger ghosts? ). But some elements still look unrealistic and cartoon. For example, the scene where Cicakman was chasing the bank robbers, it looks really unrealistic. Anyway, this is not a big deal since the overall CGIs for me are quiet okay plus the storyline for me, has playing a big role to overcome this weaknesses.

Since this movie is a superhero comedy genre movie, so it can’t run from some humor and comedy elements. But there is not much comment about this matter because everything mixed well. So overall, the elements have been mixed really well.

Another thing is about the action part. I can see the director has puts a lot of efforts to make this movie looks different from the first one which contains lots of fighting part and some of it impressed me a bit. They really did a good job. Congrats!

As the conclusion, this movie is not so disappointed and the director has tried to give the best for the movie. You may ask, is it this film worth to watch in the cinema? My answer is, you decide. If you don’t have any other movie to watch, you may consider watching this movie. Out of 5, I would give this movie 3.5. So, are you going to watch it? Hehe.. Sometimes, we have to give chance to our own film maker so we know where their level now. If you ask for my recommendation which movie should you watch, I’ll suggest “The Day the Earth Stood Still” or “Yes Man”.

p/s: But, I’m still wondering.. Why not they use Keluangman instead of Cicakman?. Yeah, I think Keluangman would be a better original Malaysian superhero.
p/s/s: Rrama is damn hot!

Salam and hello everyone. Huh, I’m quite busy in these few days so this blog has not been updated regularly. I think I need to reschedule my time and get everything back into the track. Since my new semester already started and next week will be the last week for add and drop session, but I’m still confused about the classes that I’ve taken currently, either I need to drop some or add some more subjects into this semester. So far, there are totally 13 credit hours for this semester plus several projects related to the subjects. Perhaps I just need to stick into the current plan. Hmm..

Ok, stop about that. Let continue about what I’m going to share with you. Have you watch Transporter 3? If not, you have two choices here; either leave this page or continue your reading. Because what I’ll tell you after this is all about this new movie of Transporter 3 and what would you get by paying about RM11 for the movie ticket.
Ok, here it goes the movie review of Transporter 3.

Ok, before we go into the review, lets have some brief introduction about the movie first.

Genre: Action/Advanture
Movie duration: 1 hour 40 minutes (more better than the last Bond’s movie; Quantum of Solace)
Director: Olivier Megaton
Starring: Jason Statham, Robert Knepper, Francois Berleand, Natalya Rudakova

Never heard about this movie before? Ok now, let have some brief movie trailer about the movie so you’ll get the idea what this movie is all about.

And here is the short synopsis for this movie; click here to view the synopsis (Warning: It may contain spoilers)

Ok, here is the short review. Since I’ve watched the previous Transporter 1 and 2, so I’ve some idea on what this movie is all about and what I will watch in this movie. Like the previous one, the main actor in this movie is Jason Statham as Frank Martin with his usual gorgeous Audi car. So, in this Transporter 3 movie, you can see Frank Martin use and drive the new Audi S8 W12. Hoho, Audi is one of my favourite car.

So what can you see in this movie are non-stop action, awesome fight scenes and explosion, and some humor. Everything has been mixed nicely and I can say the director, Olivier Megaton really did a good job on this third Transporter.

Next, how about the storyline? I would say you won’t get boring to watch this movie because the storyline was well plotted and you’ll always impress with what you watch in this movie; from the actions and the spontaneous humor in this movie. I won’t story much about the storyline, you’ve to watch it and judge it by yourself and I guaranteed that it won’t disappoint you. Next, the good thing about this movie is, you can understand this movie although you never watch this movie before. As I said before, this is the third Transporter but even you never watch the previous Transporter, you don’t have to worry, you’ll get into this movie unlike the previous Bond’s movie, Quantum of Solace. In Quantum of Solace, if you didn’t watch it’s previous Casino Royale, you won’t understand Quantum of Solace because there’s connection between the two movies. But, not in this Transporter movie.

So, what are you waiting for? Go buy your ticket now for RM11 and RM7 (student price) and enjoy the movie, otherwise wait for another 3 months later for the DVD version or maybe spend your RM15 to buy pirate DVD that already on sale before the showing date. What the heck? Anyway, its all your decision which one to choose, I’m just helping you to make the decision. Ok? Out of 5 stars, I give this new Transporter 3 movie 5 stars out of 5 since the storyline was well plotted, awesome actions and some elements like humor are nicely mixed and more importantly, it won’t disappoint you. So, how would you say? Drop some of your words about this movie below.

Salam and hello all. Here it comes, a short review by me about my recently watched movie, 007 Quantum of Solace. Have you watched it? Anyway, I had chance to watch it on it first showing day, 6 November 2008 and I know some of Nuffnangers got special screening the night before the showing day, so they might wrote their own review already. Anyway, here is my short review about this movie. As anyone knows, since this is one of the popular Bond’s movies you might expecting something wow from this movie. Anyhow, is it this new Bond’s movie, 007 Quantum of Solace really brings a wow after watch it? If you want to know, continue your reading.

Let’s have some briefly introduction about the movie.

Starring: Daniel Craig, Dame Judi Dench, Jesper Christensen, Mathieu Amalric, Olga Kurylenko, Jeffrey Wright, Gemma Arterton, Giancarlo Giannini.
Director: Marc Forster
Genre: Action

And this is the official trailer for this movie, enjoy it.

Ok, and this is the synopsis; I warned you, this might contains spoilers.

007 Quantum of Solace Synopsis

Ok, here is the short review about this new 007 movie. First of all, I want to state that, I’m not a Bond’s fan. My first Bond’s movie that I watched is 007 Casino Royale and all other Bond’s movies before that; didn’t attract me to watch it. But since I watched the Casino Royale before this, I have some big expectation from this new Bond’s movie. Since the Casino Royale really impressed me a lot.

First thing, this movie duration really short, about 1 hour 30 minutes and the movie started 30 minutes after the showing time. I watched the movie at Sunway Pyramid and my ticket was at 9.30pm and the movie started at 10.00pm and ended at 11.30pm. See? What I’m watching now? A Malay movie or what? And amazingly this 1 hour 30 minutes movie hit the box office. Impressive, huh?

Next is about the storyline. I can say its impressed me a bit at the beginning of the movie where Bond’s has been chased by a group of people and how that the gorgeous Aston Martin being damaged. Hohoho. But the overall storyline for me quite linear and boring but fortunately all that has been back up by some terrific actions which somehow looks ridiculous. Bond looks like an indestructible machine and always wins in any fights. Another personal point of view of me about this movie is, this new Bond is the craziest Bond ever. Why I said that? If you watch the movie, you can see how crazy and desperate Bond to catch and kill his target till causes major damages to the surrounding. Heck, you only want to catch this one person, but cause so many people; lost their life. I think this not show that Bond is really a good agent.

Last as the conclusion, I would rate this movie 3 out of 5. Its because the storyline itself is not so interesting and boring but the actions inside the movie help a bit to give some satisfaction to the audiences. So, is it worth or not to pay RM11 for a ticket for this movie? I can say, if you really a big fan of Bond’s movie, I recommend you to watch but if you just like another movie geek who interested to watch any new movie, I would advised you to consider other movies first before come to this movie. So, how about you? Have some words to say about the movie? Drop your comment below.

Salam and hello everyone. Its been quite a long time that I didn’t write any movie review, but now, here is the latest movie that I’ve watched recently, Eagle Eye. Do you watch it already? Before I write about the review, I actually asked some of my friends who already watched the movie and asked about their feedbacks and some simple opinions about the movie. Actually, at first I didn’t know what this movie is all about but after my friends told me what the movie story about, I think it sounds good. That’s my first expectation.

Ok, now I’ve watched the movie and this is all about review of the movie from my personal point of view. If you still didn’t watch this movie, you either can leave this page because it might have some spoilers or maybe if don’t really care about what I’m going to write about this movie, so please proceed your reading.

Before I start my short review, have some introduction about the movie first. So, you’ll get the idea what this movie is all about.

Director: D.J. Caruso
Starring: Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, Rosario Dawson, Michael Chiklis, Anthony Mackie, Billy Bob Thornton
Screenwriter: Dan McDermott, Travis Wright, John Glenn, Hillary Seitz
Story: Dan McDermott
Producer: Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Patrick Crowley
Studio: Dreamworks SKG

Eagle Eye's synopsis [May contain spoilers]

Here is the official movie trailer for this movie.

Ok, this is the review. At the beginning of the movie, I impressed with the movie’s introduction which about how US Army have used all their high technology weapons just to destroy ‘their target’. Ok, the story expanded when the US Army ‘accidently’ bombed a group of peoples whose they believed to be one of the most wanted terrorist. But they’re wrong. Actually this incident is nothing related to what this movie is all about. I didn’t find any relation from this incident with the main theme of the movie. Hmmm.. Ok, next, this is the real story about the movie, US government had designed and developed a super computer which can listen, record and communicate with human. The US government at first build this super computer is to protect their country from any possible attack by the terrorist and will do whatever instructed by the US Army to do. But somehow this super computer goes wrong; it reacts by itself and didn’t listen to what the US Army instructions. And what the fun is how come the US Army didn’t realize about the ‘broken’ super computer. They build it but they didn’t know! Ok let it be, lets continue. So, what this super computer did is, it setup a plan to kill all members of the parliament of US and setup a new US government which the US Defense Secretary as the new president. So, this super computer threatened two US citizens which one of them is Jerry Shaw; the brother of the one who in charge in the development of this super computer. To short the long story, his brother was killed by this super computer. By what and how, you’ve to watch this movie for details. Then, before his brother was killed, he already shutting down one of the mission that shouldn’t executed by that super computer. Ok, what this super computer wants to do is; use Jerry Shaw’s voice to reactivate the mission that was shutting down by his brother before. To think logically, can two people have same voice, tone and voice frequency? Is it possible? Hmm.. Then, another one US citizen who is a woman name Rachel; she has been setup to kill Jerry Shaw after he had reactivated the mission. But she didn’t. Then, the story continues. And to know what’s going on next, you’ve to watch it. I hope I’ve risen up your curiosity to watch this movie. Hehe. Then, I just want to highlight the ending part which for me a bit disappointed since for me, the whole story line from the beginning till before the ending was awesome but then that awesomeness was killed by the really simple ending. After the ending, what come across my mind is, “Is that all? The ending is just like that?”. Lols.. Ok, again, if you want to know why I’m saying that, you’ve to watch this movie.

Simply as the conclusion, I would give this movie 4 out of 5. Ya, the story line, the sound effects, visual effects, the actors and actresses and almost everything are perfect. But the ending part a bit disappointed as I hope for something more interesting or maybe some awe actions. Anyway, this movie is still worth for you to watch. So, for those who already watch this movie, what would you say?

p/s: I think its not too late for the review right? The movie still was showing in the cinema. So spend your RM7 for this movie if you didn’t watch this movie yet. And I start wondering, since when the ticket price drop from RM11 to RM7?

Salam and hello to all. Luckily, huh… after about 6 days I sent my laptop to service centre, I sent my laptop last Friday. Yesterday, they called me and said I can come to collect my laptop today (means yesterday) or tomorrow (means today). I took the laptop today at Berjaya Times Square. Wa.. so happy la. I blogged about my uncomfortable blogging experience at my university computer centre yesterday and yesterday evening they called me that my laptop was fixed and ready to collect! Actually, the problem with my laptop is caused by the hard disk and they have replaced it with the new one. I already expected this. Huhu.. So I can start blogging again.

So as promised in my previous entry, I will write a short self review about the second movie of Narnia, The Chronicles of Narnia 2 : Prince Caspian. I watched this movie last Wednesday, which is the first showing day for this movie. Ok2, lets go through the short synopsis about this movie. If you lazy to read, you can watch the official trailer below. Lols.. haha

Here is the official trailer.

Ok, this is my self short review. Only one word, GREAT! Yup, this movie was really interesting although it was a bit fantasy, about the animals that can talk, freaky creatures, peoples that can teleport to another world and others. Well, the storyline was great though it’ll bit confusing for those who don’t watch it’s first movie. Actually, this movie is a continues from the first movie and the story of Narnia after the Pevensie siblings left Narnia for a year in the real world but in the Narnia world, it was already passed 1000 years. There are lots of changes in Narnia world since Pevensie siblings absence and Narnia is not as what it had 1000 years ago. The Narnia world was conquered by Telmarines and under controlled by Lord Miraz. Lord Miraz hates the Narnians and wants to kill all of them. Hence, the Narnians forced to hide into the jungle until everything was changed when Prince Caspian comes. Prince Caspian makes the Pevensie siblings to come back into the world of Narnia, which brings hope to all Narnians. So, what’s next? What Prince Caspian did? To know what happen next and so on, you’ve to watch this movie. I’ll not story everything in details. One thing that makes me amazed when watching this movie is, it’s awesome and wonderful sceneries, which refer to Narnia world. I somehow don’t believe my eyes when looked at all those places, really and really beautiful. I wonder if I can get there someday. Huh, btw, where is it? Hmm… Unlike the first movie, in this second series, there are a lot of actions, a lot. Compare to the first movie, this second series has full of actions and fighting part. Unlike the first movie again, there is not so many scene of Aslan, the mighty lion. You can see Aslan mostly in the last part of the movie, but still, Aslan looks great. No comment about the CGI, it was totally awesome and great. You can see how realistic the Aslan is, and that shows how awe their CGIs. Apart from that, with the great storyline plus great act by the actors plus awe CGIs, I rated this movie 4 out of 5. For those who watch the first series of The Chronicles of Narnia, you must watch this second series. Anyway, it is a worth movie to watch.

Hello all, I think I watched a lot of movies recently, about one movie per week. LOLS…If this continues, I’ll going out of money very soon. Haha. Anyway, the reason is because I don’t know what to do when I have no class. My Japanese class is only on Monday till Wednesday and I have 4 days left free without anything to do. So, since yesterday was the first showing day for the movie Speed Racer, so I decided to watch it. As usual, I went to GSC Alamanda again since its just 10 minutes from my university. But at Alamanda, while waiting for seating time, I met one of my lecturer, Miss Hazlinda and she went to one of Habib Jewel boutique at Alamanda. Seems she wants to find something. For her mother probably, you know.. Mother’s Day is coming soon. Hehe. But, I don’t get chance to say hi to her. Hey, don’t get me wrong ok, I’m not a stalker. *hiding*

Ok, back into the topic. At first, I actually don’t know what this movie is all about. But when I noticed that one of Korean pop-star Bi Rain be the one of the actor in this movie, its attracted me to watch it. Anyway, it doesn’t means that I’m a big fan of Bi Rain but I like some of his songs especially I’m Coming. Love the way he dance and the song itself. Oh.. In this movie Bi Rain acted as Taejo. Other thing that makes me interested to watch this movie is because of the creator of this movie, the one who created “The Matrix” Trilogy, Larry and Andy Wachowski . So, my first expectation for this movie is, it will give me a WOW experience. So it is really a W-O-W experience??

Before going through the review, lets have some introduction what this movie is all about.

Hurtling down the track, careening around, over and through the competition, Speed Racer (acted by Emile Hirsch) is a natural behind the wheel. Born to race cars, Speed is aggressive, instinctive and, most of all, fearless. His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolized-the legendary Rex Racer (acted by Scott Porter) – whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill. Speed is loyal to the family racing business, led by his father, Pops Racer (acted by John Goodman), the designer of Speed’s thundering Mach 5. When Speed turns down a lucrative and tempting offer from Royalton Industries, he not only infuriates the company’s maniacal owner but uncovers a terrible secret-some of the biggest races are being fixed by a handful of ruthless moguls who manipulate the top drivers to boost profits. If Speed won’t drive for Royalton, Royalton will see to it that the Mach 5 never crosses another finish line. The only way for Speed to save his family’s business and the sport he loves is to beat Royalton at his own game. With the support of his family and his loyal girlfriend, Trixie (acted by Christina Ricci), Speed teams with his one-time rival-the mysterious Racer X (acted by Matthew Fox) – to win the race that had taken his brother’s life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible.

And here is the official trailer of this movie, maybe it can give you the clearer view of what this movie is all about.

So?? What are you thinking after watch the trailer? Hmm Well, I will say it looks interesting, based on the trailer. But I think all movie trailers will show the interesting and best part of the movie, right? Ok, this movie started at Speed Racer’s school. At that time probably he had his exam or maybe test about his interest, I don’t really clear about this. But it doesn’t matter, but when the class finished, his brother waited for him outside the school. At that time I started to wonder, what place they are living? LOLS.. It is because the place looks really and really freaky place. Ok2.. I know I never watch their cartoon version of Speed Racer, so I don’t really know about this freaky place. LOLS. Beside from that freaky place, there are something that more attractive, the fabulous and gorgeous super cars! Why I said its a super car? Its because that car can do anything and fast too. Have you ever imagine driving a car with speed 800kmp/h? Well, this movie was a totally fiction movie so you must accept some unrealistic or maybe ridiculous things in this movie. Heck, I don’t know what to say more about this movie la.. Ok, the story line was quite interesting though its little bit complicated. If you want to know why I said its complicated, you can spent some of your money to watch this movie, ok? This movie also used 98% CGIs except for the scene in the house, the Royalton company and in the Royalton plane. Anyway, this is from what I noticed. The rest, everything was CGI, including the thousands of audiences that watch the race, the camera flashes and everything. But the CGI was quite awesome for this type of movie. So, is it really WOW? I would say not really. It was an interesting movie for you to watch if you have free time and already watched all the movies that currently showing. Otherwise, don’t spent your 7 bucks to watch this movie. Huhu. I know 7 bucks is cheaper compare to 10 bucks if you want to watch Iron Man, but this movie duration is 2 hours plus, so if you don’t want to waste your time, you better choose other movies to watch. Otherwise again, you’re the fans of Speed Racer, then I can’t say anything, maybe you should watch this movie. Lol. So apart from that, I rated this movie 3.5 out 5. Don’t ask me why 3.5. LOL. Maybe it’ll be answered after you finish watching this movie. So do you want to watch this movie after read what I’ve wrote here? You decide then.

p/s: Next week mission! My most awaited movie, The Narnia!
