Movies...Yes Man!!!

Merry Xmas everyone!!
This is what I watched for christmas... missing the first little part of it n again to make things worst they censored here n there.. Jim Carrey personaly claim that he will oonly be paid based on the response of the boxoffice.

All and all a nice movie tho..
It's about Mr. No man, Carl Allen (Jim Carrey) who is super closed up about life, opportunities and he is being labeled as no-life banker.

His 'awakening' comes when he hit the valley of his life when all his friends deserted him and his girlfriend dump him and he start to realized that he does not have a life! That is when he signup for the "YES" seminar (very Tony Robbins flavour), and the speaker "psycho"ed him to start making a 'secret agreement' to say "YES" to every opportunity that comes by to him.

And YES he did! He started doing crazy things like giving $$ to homeless, learn guitar, taking flying lessons and even a persian matchmaking! Until he hit a point realizing that one should not just say YES to everything but to be judgemental and only say it when it's from the heart. That's when he won his true love back.

Nice movie about life, but a vague ending. Many of us are truly blinded by the things around our life..so this movie is a good eye opener to welcome great things into our life. So from now on, tell year 2009 "YES!" :p

Movie review----> Catacomb.

What must I say about this movie?
A girl (Victoria) flying to Paris visiting her sister, who brings her to a underground clubbing place in Paris' famous Catacomb. And her sister Carolyn (by Pink) gives her one heck of a "orientation". Fullstops!!

Why? cuz that's the story in 2 line.. I can't afford to say another 1 line or 2.. then comes the spoiler.

Verdict?
Visual, sounds, cast are great. They know their stuff inside out. Only good part is a good lesson learned, I can't say or I'll spoil the fun.

BUT!!!! Having to know the story is going to be like this which is kinda expected. Like Carolyn said "It's going to be a life changing experience for you!". Well it did for Victoria ( Shannyn Sossamon) she made a major break tru back then. Take a good note about what she meant by "All the people I know there died in 48 hrs, including my sister."

As the usual I am always unpleased about the censorship thingy as per mentioned in the Midnight meat train review. So it happens again lo and half the time they still cant manage to censor the almighty "F" word. That's consider biasa la overhere (dont ISA me ar!)

But what i really upset is that this movie is released only sometime this month while in the other places it's already becoming DVD n VHS!!! Meaning what? They've release this in October, 2007!!! What is the matter here?! Niamah....potong stim kau kau.

Rating 5/10

Movie Review---> You Don't Mess with the Zohan

***Community service message!! Please be careful when drinking while watching this movie! Choking hazard might occur in several scenes. Also please massage your cheek and jaws area after the movie.****

Well well our all time favourite Adam Sandler is back! This time around he's a big time Israeli commando, Zohan Dvir who wants out, fake his own death in Israel just to come to America to become a Hair stylist (funny enough the intention).

That's where his new journey started. However his outlook is somewhat like an immigrant from the middle east so he 'repackage' himself into a Austrialian-Tibetan mix with a name called "Scrappy-Coco" (just go n see how he get this name).

After heaps of rejection (since he has no experience, only cut his own hair and a few dogs), he in the end landed in a Palestinian barber shop which ultimately leads him and his gang to unfold a deep conspiracy of the local developers are trying to move them away to build their own new building.

Look at the launch date and the local launch date.
This is not fair!!

PheewW! Nearly spilled everything out for you all....

What can you expect from this movie?

• Tonnes of laughter, provided you are well-versed in their background ie, terrorist, arabs, Israel/Palestine conflict, hebrew.... even some of the jokes I don't get it. Like "shamutta habibi (what does it mean??)...I saw tonnes of middle east moviegoers having such a good laugh while i sit there looking like an idiot. But all and all a good laugh is guaranteed.
  
  
• That there's a lot of different different type of "middle east people" from Israelis, Palestinian, Iranian, so on.. and we are so ignorant about it by labeling them terrorist? Actually they are not..so understand and respect them lo....
  
  
• Excessive usage of Hummus and the Israeli laxative effect soft drink 'Fizzy Bubblech' for dunno what reason...
  
  
• Mariah Carey, Even she has a role as herself in there.
  
  
• Also Disco!!!

Have fun, sit back and don't forget to massage your jaws after the movie.

Over and out!

Movie Review ------> Wall E!!!!

Hohoho! Finally my turn to review this movie!
Initially not knowing anything I was in fact confused Wall E for Short Circuit's Johnny 5!
And it's because of writing this review then I did some research and found out that they are different! Way light years different.

Because we were late so we kinda missed like 25 mins of the show. But still manage to pick up along the way.

The story line is pretty simple, It is said that 2110 that Earth was too toxic for humans to stay on so they leave earth and stayed in a space ship, Axiom (a'la Noah's Ark concept) and one Wall E unit (our main "unlikely" hero) is left behind. It's only when year 2815, almost seven hundred years later, Axiom send a probe robot Eve to earth to look for living form and Wall E's advanture begin by following Eve back to Axiom. Which leads to tonnes of disasters and also crowned our unlikely hero become the hero that saves the day!

Phew!!! I 'nearly' review everything didn't I? Go watch yourself la!!
I can only say 4 words, cute, amazing, education and brilliant! After all this movie is really really suitable to bring kids to watch along (I bring 2 :p) and to start them young to love mother earth or we'll simply need robots like Wall-E to clean up the mess.

Notably, you can see how human has 'evolved' after technology takes over alots of daily applications.

To write this little review, I have to do some homework (as usual). I was a bit upset to come to know that the release date cos in the States and Canada, they'd release this movie as early as end of June 08!! While we have to wait for another 1.5 months? Hello??? Explanation please?? Potong stim kau kau!

But ok lah since it's out, so go n watch lo. And think deeply about giving earth a second chance ;)

Movie Review ---> Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Boy I love this movie . The whole thing is really cute and hilarious.
It's about this guy Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) who just got dumped by his celebrity girlfriend Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). Because of that he went to Hawaii for a somewhat of 'healing'.

Accidentally he bumped into his ex-girlfriend with another British-rocker boyfriend, Aldous Snow (Russell Brand). While he slowly develop a 'deep connection' with the receptionist Rachel (Mila Kunis) . Then the story goes.......

Ok like the tradition I am not suppose to reveal the whole thing and all and I'm pretty sure if you are looking for the whole story plot you know where to get it.

And I really like Jason Segel's act! He made Peter Bretter so me!! People around me who knows what's going on in my life lately knows what i have been tru and this character is really a resonance of my life!

But the "potong stim' part when they (you know in this country) censor here and there. I was even more upset when I realized how much they've censored it! Yeah but it's forgiven cos there's tones of boob scenes and some 'sex scene' (come'on they are not really doing it!). But I seriously find it funny than sexual? (Am I the only one?)

Seriously, get the uncensored version! Cos it's worth every bit of it.

Movie Review ------> Midnight Meat Train

Last night out of my blurness I agreed my friend to go n watch this movie today.

"Yo bro tomorrow noon time are you free?"
"Yeah should be ok"
"Go n watch movie k? It's ******** train (i didn't hear him properly) thriller one"
"Ok la cincai, bye!"
"Bye!"

Mana tau this is the movie it started damn bloody just imagine a man pounding another man with a big meat pounder (that's what i called it).

The whole movie is full of meat (human/beef) and also blood. So it's pretty gross. The story is about a professional photographer attempt to track down a serial killer later known as the "subway butcher" and knowing the purpose of the killing. Let's see in the movie there's like around 10 people died in a pretty crude manner.

Kudos must be given to a few guys Bradley Cooper who portrayed the professional photographer, Vinnie Jones as Mahogany and the director Ryuhei Kitamura for doing hell of a good job directing this master piece.

I won't wanna say much about the movie's plot and all that which is definitely a spoiler and also it's available in the net. Overall it's quite a bloody and meaty thriller. And actually I was surprised that the censor board did quite a bad job, I still heard a few lines of F-word and in fact saw 1 topless scene (just a flash) in the movie! It's not to say I promote film cutting and censorship but since this is already a 18+ movie forget bout the F word and a few scenes la please you've been showing how that fella cut a human like cutting pork-chop mercilessly Yet you censored the F-word? WTF?

All and all a nice one. I highly recommended for meat lovers and if you are vegetarian whom you wish to convert someone to one also bring them to this movie!! I swear to god I nearly puke looking at menu with beef n chicken dishes. In the end I go for seafood. Watch me cuz I dont think I'm gonna touch meat for the next week ie chicken.
