Movie 312: Red Cliff [Part I] (review)

I've put much expectation on this movie, well you know, big casting and international movie, sure everyone will have high expectations. At first when I asked my friend for this movie, I didn't know that it has 2 episodes, not untill I did the online tickets reservation. I was wondering how come that it was stated part I there on the movie title, is that gonna be a part II? So later on when discussed that with my other friend only knew that there was another scene, the ship war, wasn't shown in the current one. Then only I recall back about the reports on this ship war scene where one of the ship exploded and one of the action-man died.

It was really happening last night, I guess it was most probably because of too much nice movie in this month and that's the reason the cinema was flooded with people. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the 9pm show, so we have to go for 12am show. What to do for the free time from 830pm till 1215am? There was a 4 hrs gap, and my friend suggested that we should go get a place where we could eat and stay there for long period. So we went to Lemon Garden again. We haven't been there for like half a year, I mean I haven't been there with my friend for that long while. We ate alot that night, too much of nice food, and we both were so crave for it. But luckily, we walked back and forth from Pavilion to Lemon Garden, at least some exercise before and after the meal. We reach there by 9pm, leave at 11pm. Then we went to starhill and walked around, then sat down and enjoy the music there. Then we both have some crazy thoughts about how to enjoy 5 stars environment without using money at all. Haha..... Really something crazy.

Then time for the movie. Was kinda warm last night, quite difficult to breathe, and not feeling comfortable sitting there, maybe was because of the warmth. And it was midnight, usually I was sleeping soundly in my bed that time, rather then sitting in cinema. The story line was good, but the director dragged too much on the "Ba Gua" formation, kinda boring there. But the whole scene was interesting, for me, because it was my first time to know about this formation and how it functioned. And I was wondering how would it be if the formation was used on water. Must be interesting as well. So, another high expectation on the coming Red Cliff part II. Hope that the story wasn't dragged too much like the first one.

Movie rating: 3.5 stars out of 5!! (p/s: Yu is yu, Liang is liang, we are both with different lords...)

Movie 312: Hellboy II: The Golden Army (review)

Even though I'm feeling tired, but still so desperate to go for movie. Watched this Hellboy II after a busy day with only 2 hrs sleep, I found that, I'm really a movie maniac. At first I really worries that I might fall asleep half way watching, but then, my eyes weren't close till the tend of the show. WOW!!! Am I great? Keke XD

I quite like the movie, the story flow was quite good, but not much people liked it. A few of my friends complain that the storyline wasn't really good, and asked me not to watch it. I guess they just don't like Red like those people in the movie. Hehe.... But Liz Sherman, the pyro-girl, seemed to grow old, there were a few seen, from some certain angle, she seemed kinda aged. Too light the make up I guess. But became a powerful lady, great shooting skill, and really hot. BOOM!! And there she goes....

Hellboy is becoming a father?! I wonder how would their children look like. Oh, I guess you can understand why I said children, and the "V" sign that Liz gave to Red.

Movie rating: 3 stars out of 5!! (p/s: Stay away from the window........)

Voice 312: Unpredictable Life......

Today, I came across with a very sad incident, not happened to me, but to my friend, Mr. S, a classmate, my "bro". At first was standing aside with the other classmate, Ms. I, chatting while he was stading on the other side talking on the phone. Suddenly he like scolding to the person in the phone, like something really serious happened, something about medication of someone. So the classmate who was with me told me that maybe it's about his grandma's illness. Then I asked her what about his grandma but then she didn't know. So later on two more classmates,Ms. K and Ms. N, came and joined us, and he is still on the phone. We were talking and talking and talking, Ms. N signaled me about Mr. S who is on the phone that he seemed to be quite depressed. And suddely, she scolded the person in the phone again. We were all shocked.

5 minutes later, he hung up, walked towards us with a disappointed expression, then walk away and sit on the stairs just next to us, leaning his head to his arms while resting on his knees. None of us dared to go forward and asked him what had happened. So Ms. I walked over and sit right beside him, asking him what happened. He told her. Later on, I could see the change of the expression on Ms. I's face. So I walked back to class. When Ms. I came in, she told me what happened.

It's actually about Mr. S's pet dog, Stephy, just like 2 months old, got a sever illness in her brain. When I heard, I really feel sad. I've seen her once, she is really cute and pretty girl, even though she was naughty, but she's just a puppy. And now she has this illness, and the rate of success for the operation is just 10%. So young, she didn't even spent her life longer, then was going to be taken away. I really felt sorry for my friend, he didn't spent much time with her, as she was back in his hometown in Ipoh, but he was here all the time in KL studying.

This weekend, he's going back to see her. I hope he could really accept what was being told. And hope that he wouldn't be so sad about the incident.

Life is really unpretictable, not only human's life, even animals' lives are unpredictable too. And there is a saying that we must appreciate the people and things before us.

Movie 312: Get Smart (review)

Oh my! Oh my~~~~ What a movie. This is really a nice-to-laugh movie, well I guess it's highly recommanded for those who loves comedy, who is always feeling blue, and maybe for those who doesn't really like comedy, but I assure that you will love this so much. I just love Anne Hathaway so much, for me, she is really a great actress. I love to see her in action, like the previous Princess Diaries series, and the Devil Wears Prada, this is the first time seeing her casting in an action movie. She is a pretty woman, with a big smile like Julia Roberts. Oh, and Dwayne Johnson, you know, the Rock, he's quite good in actiong though. Well I guess since he was from the WWE, I guess acting is nothing impossible to him. If I'm not mistaken, this is the second movie that he was acting as a "double-face" character, don't know what's the term. But I mean that he act as a good guy and later becoming a bad guy. The 1st one was when he acted in DOOM(if you remember the game-movie), and this is the second one. He is actually quite good casting in a comedy, like the previous one Game Plan, quite funny and touchy huh......

Movie rating: 4.5 stars out of 5!!!
Laughter rating: 6 stars out of 5!!!!!!! XD

Happenings 312: Have you got your Rebate?

It's about the subsidise from the government for the citizens who owns car below 2.0 cc and it worths RM625. It's quite a hot event recently, and you can see all the post office are all crowded. Everyone is lining up for the rebates, the money!!

Eventually I went to claim the rebate today, it was really damn crowded, and I take a few round only I could find a place for parking. But still consider lucky to get a parking at that area, haha..... So I got my number and waited, waited, and waited.... Meanwhile, I overheard of the people next to me chit chat-ing about the workers and also about the rebates. You know, aunties just love to gossip here and there. So there was a guy sitting behind me, then someone gave him the number ticket so he didn't need to queue for long. Then came another aunty sat next to me, and that guy behind gave her his previous number. I guess they knew each other, that's y they can chat and chat and chat. Then came another aunty, and the conversations started.

So the aunty A was complaining to aunty B that the clerks have low work efficiency. Saying that it's an easy job, just key in the things bla-bla-bla and give the money then can go for the next one and bla-bla-bla..... Then they change topic talking about the rebate that people must hurry up to take, later government change policy again then no more bla-bla-bla..... (Well, I think it's true also, you know they are having wars inside now....) Then came aunty C, didn't know where to get forms and how to fill up the form, sat behind and started their conversations again. Aunty C ask how much can she claim. So aunty A ask her whether how much the horsepower then if lower than 2.0 cc can get RM625. But aunty C didn't even know wat's the oil tank her car is having, just said: "Viva lo...." Lolz...... And the conversation continued like what number you got ah? How long have you been waiting ah? Aiyo here so difficult to find parking oh? Aiyo why the people here working so slow ah? Aiya they stop at here already oh, close lo no more money to give out, bla-bla-bla..... (Aunties really can talk, non-stop.....)

Finally, after 2 hours of waiting, my turn!! Yeah!! Faster get the money and jus head home. Sat there for so long, till my butt has gone numb. Oh god~~~~~ So next year I am gonna go sit there and wait again..... Sianz~~~~~~
