Went and watch it yesternight. Due to high patrons, it is not easy to book seats for a group of people, so I decided to go alone. Last minute reaching the venue, I manage to get an Okay seat somewhere at the corner. And furthermore, just right I got the movie screened in Digital format. Very nice.

Bad thing is that besides me has two kids who spoke out loud almost throughout the movie. Annoyed and I guess people behind get annoyed too as they can’t concentrate to the talkings on the movie.

Action is good. Had some good laugh as well, especially the time when they are fighting against the scorpion-bot and calling the US Military base at the same time. They get connected to the call center which asked plenty of questions regardless of how important their call is. Typical call center. You’ll know when you watched it.

Story wise, quite simple, but who cares anyway; if you are entertained with lots of actions and amazed with the graphical effects.

The girl is hot! and the cars are hot too!

This movie contains many good lessons, such as team work, and always try to do your best and never give up easily. And one nice way of making use of computer programing language to send morse code through an old communication system.

Optimus Prime looked really good, Megatron is strong and hard to fight against. FYI: Optimus Prime is the good robot, Megatron is the bad robot.

They can be called: Auto-bots.

Its a definitely MUST watch movie.

Yoo people, weekend been so packed, enjoying myself to the max, going around, as well as gym.

Went to watch Babel yesternite after back from Chinatown’s night market. Took some pictures from there, which I will blog it out soon.

Babel synopsis from Wikipedia:

Babel is a Golden Globe Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated 2006 film by director Alejandro González Iñárritu and written by Guillermo Arriaga. It stars Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Kôji Yakusho, and Gael García Bernal. The multinarrative drama completes González Iñárritu’s “death trilogy” that also consists of Amores Perros and 21 Grams. The film was first screened at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, and was later shown to audiences at the Toronto International Film Festival and the Zagreb Film Festival. It opened in selected cities in the United States on October 27, 2006, and went into full release on November 10, 2006. On January 15, 2007 it won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture - Drama. It has also been nominated for 7 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director.

This movie is a little bit boring if you don’t get the flow of it. But, I would say this is a good drama. Good plot and time plays. From three different locations (Morroco, Mexico and Japan), three different situations, which are then linked with each other.

One thing I notice is the background sound, they were nice. Can say that this is an artistic movie. Not suitable for children (contains nude scene). You will get to know how people live in other parts of the world, their tradition, what are their way of doing things.

Recommended for people who want to look for something different in a movie.

“Hairy Monster” caught attention a lot. Expect the unexpected in this movie.

Watch the trailer here.

Rating: 8/10

“Blood Diamond is a 2006 film directed and produced by Edward Zwick. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Connelly and Djimon Hounsou. The title refers to blood diamonds (or conflict diamonds), which are diamonds mined in war zones and are sold to finance the conflicts.”

Quoted from Wikipedia

Contains some err.. lots of brutal scenes, not suitable for kids.

Slavery, killing, child soldier training, rebellion and all. The movie started off with some shootings on the road by the rebels. Missed the front part.

Leonardo Di Caprio is a diamond smuggler here. Story will be about his strugle to get the biggest diamond that was discovered by one of the slave. So, he need to get the diamond, and the slave need to get back his family and his son whom was taken by the rebels and was tought as a rebel soldier.

The movie contains lots of nice scenery in Africa. Wonderful view. And show us how bad the condition during this period. Lots of peoples rely on the refugees camp, and lots have lost their family members, home, and everything.

Nice movie. Go and check it out at the cinema near you. They have a pretty journalist there.

Check out the trailer and synopsis and some goodies here.

Its Been Awhile since I blogged. No time, plus at times I can’t view this blog. Not sure what’s wrong though.

Weekend was fun, and felt as it was really long weekend, but Sunday can never be enough. Sunday always felt as an end to the weekend and its another long week to go the next day.

Btw, watched The Grudge 2 this weekend and it scared the shit out of me till I pee on my jeans. Hahaha of course not. This movie is basically continuation from The Grudge. The story continues here from the last moment where Sarah Michelle Gellar burnt down the haunted house. She was then sent to hospital and survived the incident.

Then here comes more new victims, those who step into the house just out of curiosity. Not letting go the police officers, and everyone who stepped into the house when the burning incident happen. Everyone DIE!

No way you can escape I tell you. No mercy and no bargaining. Once you saw them eventhough you didn’t step into the house, you will die too.

No happy ending, as everyone died in the end. Krrrkkkk….krkkk……krkkk… (resulted from broken neck and still shouting for help) meaaowwwww…. meeaaowww…..:p You will get to hear this a lot and sees the ghost a lot.

Its a good to enjoy movie, looking at people shouting and get shocked at it. The place where the ghost appear are mostly predictable, but still shocking. Oh ya, for those fans of Edison Chen, you will get to see his braveness here in finding out the way out of this grudge. Sadly, he died too.

Out of all, there are more information on the source of the grudge on the incidents, what is written on the boy’s diary and the past days of the lady ghost. So, perhaps this will be the end to Grudge movie? Or will there be Grudge 3?

Check out the trailer and more goodies at the official site here.

I missed the early 15 minutes part as I was on the phone with my parents, so, no idea what is going on at first. This movie is a must watch. Worth every single cent that you spent. Full of laughter and the baby is just sooo damn cute. Not forgetting the nurse in the movie, she is so gorgeous.

Go check the trailer out here.
