To the movies...

Went to watch a few movies since the last one...

IMMORTALS


As it is with other Greek's gods and goddesses myth and movies made, they are in need of a human hero. With humanity and the gods themselves at stakes, the unlikely and unwilling hero goes through a journey to defeat terror in the shape of a vicious dictator who commands a huge army and self-claimed as god. The movie is so graphic with the torture scenes and the picturistic imagination of mount olympus. As for the storyline, why oh why it is redundant and typical like other greek myth movies? I really don't think it's worth to see again.

PUSS IN BOOTS



If you love Shrek and you should love this movie. As jumbled as the fairytale could be, this one focusses on the cat (yes, it is obvious!). The storyline was about how friendships are made and broken. How jealousy could make one do devious things. A family movie, really. A bit boring for me though some of the squence in the movie is really good. I especially liked the dance off part. The cat is cute...

DATIN GHAIRAH
How much you pay, ah?

Really, i watched this movie and it is utterly stooooooopid! Not much of a storyline except using the main actress sexy allure and the main actor popularity. Don't ask me why i went to see this one.....Nyesal!

SHERLOCK HOLMES 2



Love this movie!!! I like how the story goes how a scene in the beginning of the movie is connected to the scene at the end of the movie. I like the way it made me, a viewer, thinks about the next scene. To guess the hero's next step. To question the use of certain items in the scene. To deduct what will happen next and whether the hero could solve the mystery.


As the story goes while Watson is busy with is marriage arrangement, Holmes is busy trying to investigate the mysterious Prof. Moriarty. They went through fights and danger to solve the mystery. As they get deep into it, it occurs to Holmes that he is facing a cunning philanthropist who would do anything to ensure he gains more than enough gains from his investment. They collide in strength and mind. Does the professor had the upper hand and Holmes end up in his grave or other wise? For sure the hero will live another day or will he? Certainly worth your money to watch this movie and i am willing to watch it again with much attention to details...

Bola yang bulat...

The Malaysian team...


Really wanted to talk about the rise of Malaysian football scene. Since the win last year for Suzuki AFF Cup and this year win in SEA Games, we saw a hike in the people interest of the game. Thats the thing...only when we win, then the stadium is full. If not, only criticism was thrown to them.



Thankfully for the likes of good looking footballers which bring fresh breath to the team along with lots of women interest also, heh! It's not their fault that they are the most available bachelors in Malaysia. Just that, lets highlight the game instead of their life. We also need to look into the other sports which are in dire state like takraw and hockey. We need to inject interest in them so that younger generations would be willingly to sharpen their skills in those games. I remembered when i was young, i used to see people play takraw and hockey at schools. Nowadays, there are lacking of interest as they see no glamour in it unlike playing football.

Wish we would flourished as a good sport nation...

What?!! She's pregnant...

A baby...

A friend of mine breaks the news to us that she's pregnant. At first we thought she was kidding. Well, when you got to know her then you'll know why we think it's a joke. But then she seriously told us again that she got a bun in the oven (idioms, anyone?).


And together we laugh again. At her age and so what, it just unbelievable. She said after the shock wears off, she is really looking forward for the baby. I do too. I do care about her and hope all goes well until one day i heard the news that she nearly lost the baby...



Wait, not really la...more to a worrying bleeding. The first trimester (hu..hu...knowledgeable, heh?) is a tricky one. You have to thread your days carefully so that the embryo would be strong enough to grow to a fetus. Of course she was being careful, the doctor had said to her that such bleeding might happened. I was worried but at that point of time, she was already nearing the end of the trimester. So, i just said to her not to worry much and i am sure it'll be fine after a few days of bed rest.

Lets just hope she'll be healthy and the pregnancy is healthy too.

Looking forward to see her as a new mother once again after almost what, 13 - 14 years?...he..he....
