Transformers
Tuesday, July 03, 2007
Watched the movie with Jivan and Chuan Zhen at Midvalley. The movie was, in one word, SHIOK! The ending was pretty pathetic tho but on the whole, it was a good watch! When I was a kid, I truly enjoyed watching Transformers cartoon. Of course, it wasn't my favorite.. Came after Thundercats and He-Man but top three nonetheless..

Before I deviate too much, lemme just comment a lil on the movie. Unlike Fantastic Four 1, the introduction to how Transformers came about wasn't as draggy and there were more action cum battle scenes comparatively. And unlike Spidey 3, the ending wasn't as lame nor as predictable and the effects were comparable to that of Spiderman, maybe better, although the cost to produce the movie was one sixth of that of Spidey 3, as according to Alan. Like Borat, Transformers is another proof that good movies don't necessarily need a high budget to be produced.

Megatron Vs. Optimus Prime

Shia LaBouf (I think that's how his name is spelt), the young actor from Even Stevens and played the taxi boy in Constantine, did well in his role as Sam, the boy who bought a car which turned out to be an Autobot named Bumblebee. The female lead wasn't too bad either. I can say for sure that her body turned Chuan Zhen on!Haha! And the guy who acted as the butler in Mr. Deeds was also superb playing his role as some Sector 7 liutenant or something like that.. Loved the Autobots (aka the protectors), hated the Decepticons (aka the destroyers).. But hey, who likes the bad guys?? Except for people like Kiat Wei maybe.. hehe!


Transformers; a definate must watch! I rate it 7/10 (minus 3 for the pretty lame ending).

"You must not live in fear!!" -Johnny Blaze-

Don't you just hate it when translators try to translate English movie titles into our national language??

Went to watch Ghost Rider with Ernie on Thurs. Watched the FIRST show on the FIRST day of release! Wee~! After desperately trying to smuggle in our McD (spending Rm2 in the process coz I wanted to get the GSC popcorn stand plastic bag), we were caught by GSC Midvalley's very observant movie usher fella! After contemplating on whether we should finish our food there or eat it after the movie, we decided on the latter.. Bad decision! LOL!

But despite all that rushing, neck aches and cold soggy french fries, the movie was well worth it! On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give Ghost Rider an 8! May not be as good as Spiderman (especially the graphics) but I liked the movie anyhow!

Anyways, the sypnosis as stated in Ghost Rider official site, is this -->

In Columbia Pictures' action adventure Ghost Riderâ„¢ superstar motorcycle stunt rider Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) strikes a deal with the vile Mephistopheles for the most precious of commodities, his immortal soul. Now Johnny Blaze is forever destined to ride night after night as the host to the powerful supernatural entity known as the Ghost Riderâ„¢.

So there you have it.. a short sypnosis that doesn't tell much about the movie! LOL! No, really.. You've gotta watch it for yourself but do pay attention to the movie or you really won't understand the villians' backgrounds... unless of course you couldn't be bothered about any other character apart from the hero and heroine... Hehe!

Go now and watch the movie before it becomes old and stale and everyone around you has watched it but you!!! *Grins* And don't wait for the DVD to come out! Some shows are worth the wait (coz they just aren't worth that RM6 - RM11), but Ghost Rider is one movie you've gotta watch while it's still hot in the cinemas!!!

Blood Diamond
Monday, February 05, 2007
Went to Cineleisure with Chia Ling and my "New Best Friend", Ernest, to watch Blood Diamond.. Awesome show! Tells the story of diamond smuggling in Sierra Leone and of the civil war between the African government in the 1900's and the RUF (Revolutionary United Front -- a rebel group supported for a time by the corrupt government of Liberia; www.imdb.com).

Leonardo DiCaprio acted his part (Danny Archer) awfully well! The way he changed his slang and all.. WOW.. He was like "Are you craze?" (are you crazy) in African slang and was like "ya, ya" and it was all so cool! And he looked ruggedly handsome with his sparse moustache and goatee!

And Alan, you are sooo right.. This movie truly is heart-moving and soul-touching.. I can totally understand why you wanted to cry... Hehe!

I rate it 4.75/5 stars and highly recommend that you guys go watch it if you haven't watched it yet! I myself wouldn't mind watching it a second time.. Hehe!
