Bride Wars


The movie is very simple, but probably not for any bride to be. I think any bride can a little bit relate to this movie. Guys you should be afraid if your bride turn into bridezilla, so just give her anything that she want.
Hilarious, quite entertaining to me. Women got really obsessed when they planning their own marriage ceremony. I like Anne Hathaway trying a bit different role, you know the revenge obsessions. For Kate Hudson, I think since she had few romantic comedy movies in the past, so this one is just okay to me.
I don't know whether I can advice this movie for married couple to be. For the girl, should be getting more ideas for planning their own. For guys, just say yes to whatever they are planning.
Its a 5.5 out of 10.

Underworld 3 : Rise of the Lycans


Another vampire vs werewolf movie. Are they really nemesis? Well probably that is what the third installment of Underworld trying to tell. And also please do expect a lot of blood bath, grotesque werewolves, gore and disgusting, also cut-off heads.
I never watch the previous two, so my opinion purely only for this movie. I almost like the movie, if only the vampire a little bit more powerful. Beside Sonja and Viktor none of them are powerful enough. From the beginning, I knew that werewolf will win, but not that easy. And getting worse with the censorship here.
And to me the leading actor is not buff enough. I was expecting that Lucian will be a bit muscular, since he is the pack leader. No need as muscular as 300, but at least more muscle here and there.
Although the set, the color tone, the scandal (not what I expected this one), made the movie a bit interesting for me. My rate maximum only 6.5 out of 10.

INKHEART



Disappointed, that was the first word that came out from my mouth after the movie finished. As the adventure-action-fantasy-magic movie goer, I was expecting a lot from this movie. IMDB rate this movie almost 7 out of 10. Well to me this movie maximum only 6 out of 10.
The plot was weird and a little bit too awkward. The hero is not like a hero at all, the villain is not cruel enough. It was like this movie almost cannot tell the story. And the end of the movie, I was expecting the unexpected, but what happened was I watched the expected scene, where everyone happy, everything stay the same.
The cast also. The father speaks american accent, the daughter and the sister's father speaks with british accent. Who teach the daughter to speak with british accent, while she never met with her mom (beside when she was still baby)-which also cannot speak at first- and her aunty.
And I also expecting a lot of story telling using the book, and I think Brendan Fraser cannot tell a story at all. I was like watching people reading the book only. No fantasy at all if people only read the book. Although I like Hellen Mirren's, Eliza Bennet's (Meggie) and the Shadow's acting. And what I expected the most that at least Dustfinger can use the dragon breath to use it in a fight that is not happening, only one time that he use his dragon breath to help, to burn the castle, even that he must use gasoline first.
And the set also, it seems that they always come back to the same set. Maybe the set already expensive and they cannot afford to move to another set. Always back to the castle, ally, woods.
Ah so boring. I was wincing almost all the time. Raising one eyebrow, you know the expression for "what was that all about" or "WTH was that".

Movie Marathon InkHeart, Underworld 3, Bride Wars

Last week I was doing this movie marathon, which was watching 3 movies in 4 days. Actually I planned to watch all the movie in 3 straight days 24-26 January. But due to some unwanted circumstances on Sunday,25th of January , so decided to move it to another day 27th.
The 3 movies were InkHeart, Underworld Rise of The Lycans, and Bride Wars. Those 3 movies, I was very looking forward to watch it since early January.



Why I did this movie marathon thingy, simply because here in KL, Malaysia that during Chinese New Year celebration (on 26-27 Jan) most of the people will take long vacation outside of the city. There were no traffic jam, no long queue at the movie theaters, it means I could get a good seat. Very rare opportunity.
Normally if I went out with my friends to watch movie on weekend, I had to book it first, or come early to the movie theater, so troublesome.
On that day, I can really enjoy watching movie and not coming early to the movie theater. I come 30 minutes before the show. When normally I should come at least 2-3 hours before. Ya (exhaling) quite nice

What Happened Yesterday : Became Vampire for One Day

Yes I could not sleep. I tried to sleep on the day before on 22.30, but suddenly I wake up at 12AM. I could not breath well, I think, when I slept. I tried to go back to sleep again, but 3-5 minutes later, I felt like gasping for air, like I was drowning. I think that was because I have this flu, my nose felt stuffy - I feel better now with my nose.
But not 100% because of that, I think. Because I could felt like my stomach was gassy. So I took medicine for this gas problem. And after burped and farted a lot, still I could not sleep. So I move to couch, and tried to sleep there, after few minutes, well this was not going to work, my head still think about other things.
So I tried to do other activities, that maybe could make me fell asleep. First attempt, I tried to browse internet, played with the computer, and was not happening, instead it gave me headache (darn!). Second attempt, tried to read the book. Since I still on page 200 something on New Moon, well I think hopefully will bore me to sleep, and.. no, was not happening also, another headache (double darn!). Third attempt, well I thought I will make my body exhausted, so my bright idea was to do some exercise, lite one. So I did warm up exercise, for few minutes, when I felt bit loose and drowsy I went to my bed, and tried to sleep. And I kept hoping, please sleep please sleep now... brain please stop working and make me sleep...
Darn...... still no success, I started felt irritated. Well my next bright idea was, well maybe I need to pray to God since now already 3AM, well I went to pray (Istikharah). After finished praying, went back to my bed, please God make me sleep... well after changed side few times, I thought that this was not going to happen. Then hmm... this all maybe because the bed sheet was not comfortable, so I changed the bed sheet, back to bed with high hope now ... ahh... so comfy with new bed sheet .... well in your dream Pri if you think you could sleep now, I thought I started to hear my bed talked to me like that.
Okay then I agreed with my bed. Then I thought, maybe my room full of dust, thats why I could not sleep. So I did some brooming in my room, after that I mopped it using lavender scent, I let it dry for few minutes. After I opened my room, (I took a deep breath) haahhh.... relieving scent... I could definitely sleep now.... jumped to my bed.... well this was wishful thinking ... not going to happen.
5 .30 AM now, I gave up already in my attempts to try to sleep. So I just prepared my self to go to work. I did my morning routinities, first exercise, warm up, jogging around the apartment. I thought, well I'm sweaty enough now. Next, breakfast, so I made Oatmeal. After that ironed my clothes. Next stop is batroom, I did bathroom routinities, and I took a bath. Wore my clothes, and drank some more gastric medicines and vitamins.
On the way to office, I felt like my brain was spacey. I had that empty look in my eyes. Tired definitely...I hoped someone would not tried to pull off some jokes on me. Or they will be facing with my rage of irritations back alive from their grave, they could hope never saw me for the day, I even scared with my self at this time. Thank god the day just went normal. At the end of my office hours I felt woozy.... god I hoped I could make it home.
Well I made it, and thank god, I went to sleep at 9.30PM and I just woke up at 8.30AM, sweet.....

There goes what happened yesterday. I felt like a vampire for one day. Felt like Edward Cullen (stop laughing for anyone who read this) minus Bella on my side (seriously stop laughing). I know now, when you could not sleep, especially during the night there is not much you can do. Eventhough you could do a lot of things like me from exercise to mop, still it could bore you to death if it happen to you everyday. So be grateful if you still could go to sleep.

How you celebrated New Year?

Well for me, just great. I got cold on new year's eve, and you know what, that actually I took one day leave from my office for December 31st 2008, but that for sure was the most regretful decision of 2008. Even though I already took the medicine, still, since yesterday morning, I kept sneezing. Made my neck felt very hurt.
Few of my friends asked me to got out. But I said no to them, cos I think I'd better bed rest. But still 12AM wake up and try to post something here.
But luckily due to good view from my apartment, I still can see fireworks from around the city. My apartment located in 12th floor, and have a nice and wide view. Yeah, at least not that extremely sad.
Happy New Year 2009
