Review: Ninja Assassin

During all the hype for Twilight's Saga - New Moon, I was quiet skeptical about my movie date with suami during the recent long weekend due to Hari Raya Qurban. But there we were, in front of the ticket counter, and saw that there is still a glimmer of hope..Ninja Assassin..Mind you, both suami and I are not whatchamacallit..Twi-hard fans. Although we think that New Moon might have more objective or a storyline for a movie as compared to the first part of the saga, we didn't feel very vampy or wolfie (cue She-Wolf by Shakira.ugh!can't stand that song either!!).

When they were promoting Ninja Assassin, I heard on Red.fm (Terry kot..) saying that it would be the perfect date movie...HE WAS RIGHT!!!!! It had elements in the movie that would make the boys AND girls fantasize about it..(although the fantasy would prolly have different directions..:P) The choreography was EXCELLENT (maybe a little bit like how Rain's music video would look like..) the effect was not bad if you're into all those comic book effects..and the storyline was smooth. But MOST OF ALL...this was one 'Rain' that you don't want to stop..heheh..*drooooolllllllllllll*

Get what I mean?????hahahahah! Don't worry..I have suami's consent to LITERALLY drool over Rain...hehehehehehhehe!

I don't think I could be much of help in telling you how the movie went since I'm still not over drooling over Rain. But safe to say..the movie will leave you feeling that you WANT to be a Ninja.....This movie gets my 4stars (5 would be too much) and Rain is not bad for an actor. Maybe the character suits him. Plus I think Sung-Kang (Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift) made an appearance in the beginning of the movie..I used to have the hots for him during Tokyo Drift..but so sorry to say..Rain made him look like a sissy...Well Sung Kang dear..it was good while it lasted...:P

*My dearest unborn child...if you are a boy..you can look like Rain...ayah says OK!:P*

Review: The Time Traveler's Wife and 2012

The 2 latest movies that I've had a chance to go watch. Honestly speaking, I enjoyed The Time Traveler's Wife more than 2012. But since I watched both, so here's my 2 cents worth for both movies..

So I'll start with The Time Traveler's Wife first. Sorry for the late review coz I think this movie might not be showing in the cinema's anymore. But although movies that are based on books are never done justice on the movie screens, but I guess they did their best for this. Well..it not only made me cry, but suami and another guy friend cried too (although they both tried to cover up by starting to throw pop corns at each other during the movie just to make sure that the other is more macho..) hehe! In a way, this movie can be categorized as one of the most ultimate love stories ever. The book is better..but the movie is worth it too. It makes you laugh, it makes you cry and it's leaves a heart warming feeling afterwards..A highly recommended movie is you're having a date night with your partner, just cuddling up on the sofa while you're taken through the journey of what you call 'true love' in a movie...

So we've seen many versions of end of days or armageddon or apocalypse..whatever they call it. But I must say, although this movie managed to make me feel scared about the end of the world as we know it, it did not really succeed in making me feel the emotion of losing your loved ones like Armageddon did. I did feel kinda annoyed with John Cusack's character and the guy who played as the President of USA's advisor. Both should get AT LEAST a punch in the face! Their characters were annoying especially that Anhouser character..Although this movie doesn't get my 5stars for it..the CG was amazing and as far as logical explanation goes, this movie is alright. Just because it doesn't leave my tearducts to overflow, doesn't mean it's bad. Just don't think alll the hype about it is necessary..Plus, why do they only seem to emphasize on Buddhism when it was other religions that predicted 2012? But you gotta love Adam Lambert's single for this movie 'Time for Miracles'. Was not much of his fan during American Idol, but I LOVE his new single...

*I hope I can still make it for MJ's This Is It at the movies...*

Mamma Mia!

It's been a while since i've been out to the movies. And since I have been through some truly terrible 'morning sickness' this week..in order to cheer me up, hubby took me to go see Mamma Mia!

SANGAT WORTH IT!

Made me smile..made me laugh and made the ABBA songs sound funny in a good kinda way! Definitely a movie to catch when you're feeling down and maybe it's a chick flick but hubby enjoyed it just as much as i did.

I overheard somewhere someone said tanak tgk Mamma Mia sbb tak sanggup nak tgk Pierce Brosnan prancing around..to them it didn't seem right. Well..spoiler sedikit. He did NOT pranced around..although he's much better off as an actor than a singer, but it was bearable la.

Donna and the Dynamos ARE HILARIOUS!!!!!Honestly the kind of friendship I wish me and my gurls would be able to have when we are older!

I think it's very smart to actually be able to incoporate the ABBA songs into a storyline. And the storyline is cute! I love the dance routines coz they're soooooo funny!It looked like the entire cast had A LOT of fun doing the movie.

Definitely a movie i'd go and see again when i'm not so under the weather. But even if I am, the movie is sooo sunshiny..puts a smile on your face..

Plus the fact that it was filmed in the Greek Islands..definitely my feel good movie!

5 STARS!!*****

*uh-oh..dunno if it's true or not but I heard Mamma Mia the Musical will be at Istana Budaya this December..will update when I get the facts right..*

He Is Not A Hero

Semalam tgk Batman: The Dark Knight......BEST GILA BABI!!!

Will not review it sbb baru keluar kan. But it's definitely worth it..So sad that Heath Ledger is not able to savour his greatest work.

Tapi yang penting di sini..I WANT THE BATMOBILE!!! You will want it too when you see what it can do in the movie...*sigh*

*so lah worth RM60! first time tgk movie kat gold class...kasi can nak poyo di sini kejap k?*

The movie runs for about 2hrs and a half..the blanket and the reclining seat just made the experience a whole lot more enjoyable....best gila sampai tak tau la nak cakap ape!

All I can say is, Christian Bale is the best Batman ever..

"He is not a hero..he is the Dark Knight"
