Spiderman3 (Review)

I know it is a bit late for this one but hey up keeping a movie blog take a lot of money and effort ok. So now there is the 3rd Installment thus making it a web trilogy. So since where the last Spidey movie left off this should be a fine sequel. But what else is to expect from a superhero 3rd sequel? Well, one is Spidey do still stick onto walls. But is there really something new?

This time it gets to be even more emotional. There is actually lesser Spidey swinging and more Peter Parker. Yes, of course I know they are the same person. But character wise it is certainly a darker side of Spidey. Villains aside we know Venom and that sand dude is in. The new Goblin decides to actually help Parker in the end. But what is the biggest villain of all? It's Spidey himself. Funny how just a dumb lookng icky gook could make a pretty boring thing becomes interesting. But nothing much is said about it let alone it's origin. Still it is the darkest Spidey movie to date. Because of that I love it...I'll give it a 3 1/2 star rating.

Review: Blades of Glory

This is a simple movie. Its about 2 guys rivaling in figure ice skating. Both of them is in the single. Their rivalry are to the extend even out from the ice ring. What happened is, in one competition both of them got tied for the 1st place. They got into a fight and disgraced the sportsmanship. Hence the federation that governed the ice skating banned them from competing ever again. But there is a loophole in the laws.

They are banned from the single, but not in paired ice skating. So what happens is, it is a heresy of paired ice skating. Usually it would be between a girl and a guy. But never between a guy with a guy. So the story starts from there. How they build the teamwork and others. Its a simple comedy movie. But the what you have to look for is the actions that hold innuendos. Well...most of it with homosexual meanings...so u can find a bucket to puke on...but funny like hell.

A good movie just to have a good laugh. 4 out of 5.

Riview:Sumolah!

A production of Afdlin Shauki and the gang. Whatever comes from Afdlin, it will be good. The storyline is about a young man who is really fat and vulgar. He has no discipline nor the strive to make his life better before he met Mr. Honda of "Boleh Sushi". His started life started to change when he work under Mr. Honda. Mr. Honda was a sumo wrestler married with a local girl. Hence come "Siti" the daughter of Mr. Honda in which the young man falls in love with. When there's a hero, there's the villain. Gurmit as Akira carried the part efficiently. He knows how the act as an asshole yet still funny... The rest of the story...go watch la~!

Now about the movie itself, it comedy by genre. Beneath the story, embedded a lot of good morals and values. So it is good for kids. The humor is natural as expected from Afdlin. Your gums will not dry by seeing this movie...heh...i wish the words is true, if you laugh a lot, your gums definitely will dry la~ Go figure why la...

Minor disappointment is since the movie is partially sponsored hugely by celcom and ogawa, the "ads" is bit too much...you can see celcom and ogawa everywhere in the storyline. Thanks to afdlin creativity, it looks natural and yet still funny as it is. The best part of the script is it is a daily conversation and it is not some "Bahasa baku/beku" shit like that. He knows how to put the "vulgar" words in the right slot. Not like "Remp-it" script...the dialog are way too much and exaggerated...and i know even the rempits does not talk like that in the movie...

My verdict for sumolah
4/5

Hannibal Rising

Psycho, Gore, Psycho, Gore and more Psycho~! That is what I would say if I need to sum the movie up super quick. For those who has watched the previous 2 installments of Hannibal, the third one is very much a step back in time...and I mean way back in time. A bit of disappointment when Anthony Hopkins is not featured not even a cameo. But I guess that's not the let down.

What is the let down seems to be the acting by Gong Li. Its too 2 dimensional. She seems to frigid and lacking depth. Mind you that the character she holds is pivotal on how Hannibal becomes a darker person to seek revenge on his sister and later on becoming a serial killer.

On a local note I am glad the Finas is finally knowing what to cut and what not to cut. I figure the scissor happy snippers of past have been let off or perhaps died of old age. So the local cinemas goer may enjoy tastefully censored movies without taking away the feel of it.

Should I not spare you people on what does the movie actually reveals? Well we all know that the title it self reveals half the story. Its about how this psycho hannibal became what he is. So the case notes from the previous 2 movies are re-enacted but somehow the way he gets to each of the war criminal is simply too simple. The lead were only dog tags and a log of sorts. And after finding the goons all he did was extort the information out on the rest of the team one by one before killing them anyways.

But what I would celebrate is the gore and way the murders hannibal committed took place. It really depicts someone who is ultimately bent on revenge and at the same time it developed into the liking for human flesh.

As far as cinematography is concerned there is not much to shout about. The acting is only so-so. It certainly wont win anything on the red carpet as far as I could see it. But I love it for everything else it has. That would certainly gore, gore and more gore~! My rating?? 3 and a half human cheeks~! Heheheheh~!

Mukhsin (Review)

Why it does not surprise me that Yasmin manages to get her audience to sing, laugh and cry in her movies with utter ease? Simply because she uses the simplest of things that we simply ignore the beauty of it everyday.

I can relate to the movie for most parts of it. Everything is simply super real. The scene when "Bujang" was sent away reminded me of a cat I had when I was 8. The keroncong reminded me of watching TV pendidikan. The old bicycle reminded me of the time when I carried around my own first girlfriend.

As always there are issues that Yasmin brings up in her movies. But this time around it's not that serious. The tampons issues was pretty loud... but the inter-racial affair (to me the lady looked like an indian) of the neighbour's husband was really an eye opener.

The thing that got me to the end of my wits is the neighbour mother daughter thing. Very busy body but they were oblivious to the fact that their father/ husband was worse. More like tak reti jaga tepi kain sendiri.

There plenty of cameos from the cast of her past movies but the main characters played well. Not brilliant but well. It seems to me that Yasmin is running out of issues to put in her movies. Perhaps she would need a break and get some fresh concept. Mukhsin is a good light movie....it's a 4 out of 5 effort. It's a movie that makes you feel that you want to get married if you have not and would want to make you want to be in a relationship if you are not.

300 (Review)

What can I say about it? There is so much celebration and many claims it as a really good war movie in ages. But this is an adaptation of Frank Miller and thus so apart from the gore and good cinematic I have to say everything else was just so.

I am not down writing this movie, in fact there are many lines from the script that no doubt will be re-used and quoted for many years to come. But again it is not a perfect movie. One has to enter the cinema with the correct perception and not take things seriously. Because from history the Persian army is great but not that freaky.



There is so much fantasy that the story line simply evolves around perfect war strategies and lacks the human touch in some ways. For instance if they can explain the whole feeling when the young Leonidas was about to kill the wolf why not also include his linage of family? Tell who was his father and mother and explain a bit about the role of woman in Spartan Society. Now that would be interesting.


For what the movie is suppose to stand for, it is good. But as I text my friend immediately after the movie "Its Good but not Great" pretty much says it all. My rating would be 4 over 5 just for the lack of script and the over use of one liners.
