Pineminator.... I'll be back...
Hello angels....
Hi Pineapple! (im sorry for the bad movies references)
Anyhoo, im back from a long holiday. There is an electricity shortage going on in indo. Not good at all. PLN (penjahat listrik negara) should be locked up in jail. grrrr... Some pictures from back home,
dats gou gou's tail. looks like duster.
I was in time to watch Barbie meet and greet in the mall. They are promoting the latest Barbie movie, "Barbie Mariposa" which strangely rhyme with "menopausa"
My delicate eyes are assaulted by pink blindness. The whole stage are decorated with pink and glittery ornaments. Theres like hundreds of kids there, coaxing their parents to buy some barbie merchandise (which are highly overpriced)
When the model wearing fake blond wig appear, the kids went wild screaming BaaaarrBBiiiiieee~~~~~ zeez... parents, dont ya know barbie is the root of plastic surgery? seriously, my ear almost went deaf. I'm truly amused. I can see one day in the future barbie will run for election.
Theres something i found disturbing about this poster...
School will start this Monday. I'm living in a money sucking hostel, it is run by money thirsty limpet. No kidding! Everything evolves around money. Sucks sucks sucks!
Im inside a dark but luckily not smoky internet cafe. Will update more pictures soon.
Cyberjaya is hell's pit...

One day in June
My room looks like a construction site. Nearly poke my eye out with a screw driver. Damn Ikea rack... Under autopilot mode for the rest of the day....like an amoeba moping around. Have to move out everything by end of this month. I hope an alien will abduct me... I haven't clean Hamster's A cage. Still in grieving stage. Somehow i'm responsible indirectly. I'll update this blog after i sort things out.

Simones Labyrinth (El Laberinto de Simone) 2003
No, Simone is not Pan's cousin or friend with Ofelia. This short movie is dark and creepy which blurs the line between dream and reality. Simone lives with her mom and about to go on a field trip to Austria. Inside the bus, she told her friend that they are all her dream and the bus will eventually crashed and killed them all. Go watch!
p/s Simone really gives me the creep. She can go fight with Freddy Krueger. I bet she wins.

Wu Xia Phien and I
Theres a cinema in front of our house in Indo. I still remember almost every weekend, our dad 'll bring us there to watch movies. He'd buy us some snacks and mentos bar. We just ve to cross the road to go there. The cinema is still operating until today.
I watched quite a lot of Chinese classic movies those days, the "Wuxia phien" or the costume dramas/action/martial art movies. e.i. The condor heroes, Once Upon a Time in China, Swordsman, Bride With White Hair, Judge Bao, A Chinese Ghost Story, Butterfly lovers, Taichi master and etc. I only remember this few. The tvs also showed quite a lot, of course dubbed with bahasa indo, e.i. "Pendekar Ulat Bulu" (the caterpillar warrior) and "Pendekar Harum" (fragranced warrior)...... sounds odd..
but nvm... i remembered watching those series every afternoon after tuition class. I was rewatching some of those old classic wuxia from Crunchyroll. I totally enjoyed them!!!! its awesome! no CG effects and still do wonders! compared to the wuxia movies from this era, i.e. "The Promise"... i thought that movie is super horrible... too much dose of CG, horrible costumes and crappy story line.
Ah.. not to forget, we have the horror genre too. The chinese vampire! hahaha! love those guys!
quick coloring in photoshop
Anyhoo, "Xiau au jiang fu" or "Swordsman" series is my most favourite wuxia movie of all time. its like the Chinese version of Lord of The Ring. The movie's particular theme song is just classic and timeless. You guys should be familiar with this song.
Plus plus, this move has the greatest villain of the kung fu world, the "Dong Fang Bu Bai!!!"
p/s after days and nights of searching the world wide web like a maniac i managed to get the audio file. If you want it just leave a comment. I'm more than happy to share.

Movie blurts... #2
This time i promise my review would be deeper, smarter and have more than one sentence. Ok, this week i present you Nim's Island.
For me, this movie is like a mixture of Home Alone, Cast Away, Robinson Crusoe meets Mac Gyver and the reality show, Survivor, Nim's Island. Overall not bad, but not good either. A tad boring and anti climatic. It feels like its not finished. The first 3/4 of the movie it build up the audience's anticipation and curiosity. Then the rest 1/4 until the end are blaaargh.... Some things are left unexplained. The movie left the audience wanting more but then dumped disappointed when the credits rolled over. The screen time between Abigail and Jodie Foster are really little. Its a disappointment because i want to see more action going on between these two characters. I get that the message of the movie is to become your own real life hero. In contrary, the Jodie Foster character didn't do anything heroic and great enough to support the message. On top of that, Abigail's dialogue is like too scripted already.
During the whole movie i was distracted with things like, "Abigail, wear your shoe when in the forest", "Stop touching those worms", "Gerard Butler in wet shirt", "Apple Mac Book!" and etc. The only forte of this movie is the excellent cinematography and the clever use of animation in certain scenes. I really like the story book animation and the opening scene. In conclusion, its a great execution but poor screenplay. Then again, i'm not the right target audience. Its for younger generation. But then again, i'd pay just to watch Gerard Butler and Jodie Foster. Its very rare to see Jodie Foster acted so goofy and hilarious. Anyway, there are some sweet and funny parts in this film too which i found endearing.
Next Review: Darjeeling Limited (2007)
