Homer Simpson Kidnapped

Wednesday, June 20, 2007 read close 0 speaks





Apparently, Homer Simpson didn't make it to the big screen in Malaysia, as he's practically being kidnapped by two idiotic malaysians. I supposed they thought stealing homer is just like stealing advertisement buntings at the roadside :)





Nah... just pulling your leg...



can't wait to watch this movie :)

UIP Inside Man Contest

Thursday, April 20, 2006 read close 1 speaks



Hah! They sent me an envelope as promised in their aforementioned email.



(Yup, ticket sent to my doorstep. Pick-up not required. I like this concept better.)



(You see this logo quite often on screen rite? ;))



(Now I know how are they related to Paramount/Universal...)



(The complimentary movie pass, in blue.)


I won this complimentary pass via UIP contest for the movie titled Inside Man. However, since Inside Man is no longer screening, I supposed I need to look for an asterisked movie before 31 of May. A bumper don't you think, since the only choice I have would most probably Water Spirit (who want to watch this movie?), and Failure to Launch (which I gotta wait till mid of May to watch, if I want to use this complimentary tickets).

Yes, this complimentary movie pass can be used for any asterisked movie distributed by UIP (means not limited to Inside Man), valid till 31 May 2006. Kiam siap uh? :) I guess beggars don't choose ;)

So... I guess I'm left with only one choice - Water Spirit....

Movies watched, and to watch

Friday, April 14, 2006 read close 3 speaks



I had the opportunity to watch this korean show last week. Amazingly, the show was rather good. To be frank, I didn't had carry much hope when I enter the cinema with this movie ticket on my hand. Maybe I'm not a vivid fan of Jang Na-ra or any other korean drama actors & actresses, but I would recommend you to watch it if you are able to catch it in local cinema. For a first timer like me, I find this korean movie brings out many things in life, which brings laughter and tears to the audience in a nutshell. If you enter the cinema without knowing any plot of this movie, you'll appreciate the show, much.

Thanks to Jen Wern, I finally bought my Luther DVD for a price cheaper than I thought it should be. The best part of all, who wants to open their house for a private screening? ;)

Eight Below

Tuesday, April 04, 2006 read close 0 speaks





By God's grace, I able to watch this movie on Monday. This movie is moderate in story, but touching if you like dogs (in particular, siberian huskies). Maybe I had too many expectation on this movie, or just merely because I initially wanted to watch The Tiger and The Snow, just that the time doesn't allow me to do so.

Watch it, if you have a chance. Still worth the money if it's in GSC USJ, Super Wednesday or asterisk movie ;)

Is Gubra coming soon?

Tuesday, March 14, 2006 read close 0 speaks

Looking at the stats for my blog, I realised many people actually visit my blog via Yahoo! with the keyword "gubra". Out of my curiosity, I search for "Gubra" in Yahoo!, did not find myself in the top 100, but discovered something interesting. (most probably I'm one of those "slow" people). DiGi has a page fully loaded with Gubra promotion and roadshow itenerary. I supposed Gubra is coming soon to town :)



PS: The site says Gubra will be in local cinemas starting from 6 April 2006. Yahoo! (No... not that Yahoo!).

It means Merry Christmas. This French movie talks about an event happened back in 1914, a Christmas eve. Nominated for best foreign language film in Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe. I wonder I can catch it in Malaysian cinema, or I have to resort with torrent technology? ;)

Movie Report (2)

Saturday, February 04, 2006 read close 1 speaks

3. Shopaholic
Until now, I still fail to know the real pronunciation of this word "shopaholic". With my limited command of England.. I mean.. English, I guess it's shop-a-ho-lic. Anyway, this movie is rather original, in terms of story line and the actors lineup is great. I recommend this movie as THE Chinese New Year movie of the Year. Not that Fearless is not worth to be THE movie, but shopaholic is more joyful type of movie that suits our Hong Kong-style annual CNY movie.

Owing to some complication, I watched this movie twice two consecutive days for 9.50pm show in TGV Bukit Raja. Haha... I'll never do that again ya!

Movie Report

Sunday, January 29, 2006 read close 0 speaks

My (chinese) new year resolution is to watch more movies. So.. here's some quick glimpse of what I've watched for this new year.

1. Fearless
Good movie with usual Jet Li real kungfu flicks, touching story and embedded with many buddhist ideology. Worth watching though. Not your usual CNY movie as people dies, and the movie tend to make you cry. Don't expect the movie to entertain you like those Wong-Jing style comedy. You'll be disappointed.

2. Syriana
A deep, intelligent movie (that's how my cousins classify it). Yet, it's more like a Wong-Ka-Wai style movie. Trying to put 3 pieces of story together into 1 movie. Nevertheless, if you are "sensitive" enough, you might be able to put everything into one piece. Basically the movie itself is trying to bring out the uglier side of American government that fights for own good by sacrificing others. For instance, Prince Nasir was killed. In addition, the little johnny practically jihad himself as the result of selfish Americans (though I do not support the act of jihad). I didn't mention the plot, as what I bla-out is what I understood from the movie itself, and you're welcome to give some feedback :)

more to come...

The Tiger and The Snow (La tigre e la neve)

Wednesday, January 18, 2006 read close 0 speaks



Benigni is back! I can still remember many scenes from the movie "Life is Beautiful (La Vita è bella)". The story this time moves on to Iraq, and GSC scheduled it for International Screen on 30 March 2006. Frankly, isn't that a bit late? It seems they started showing the movie (elsewhere) since 14 December 2005. Check out the official website, and watch the preview. It's a Benigni comedy ;)
