OSCAR Review!!!

Recently, one of the biggest award ceremony took place at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles which is the 82nd Academy Awards ceremony. The award presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, honors the best film of 2009. The actors Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin hosted the show. Here is a list of winners:

Best supporting actor: Christoph Waltz - Inglorious Basterds
Best supporting actress: Mo'nique - Push

The best moment of the night goes to Ben Stiller when he dressed up as an avatar. Other than that, the hot Kriten Stewart probably had the best dress. Sarah Jessica Parker dress on the other hand was the worst. The shocker of the night goes to James Cameron (Avatar) when he lost to his exwife Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker) who became the first female director to win an Oscar. Well thats all from us. Thanks for reading!

No Country for Old Men


This is exceptionally a mix of 2 creative talents, the Coen brothers directing an Academy Award winning movie. An average Joe out for hunting came across a bunch of dead bodies, heroin and millions of cash. the man takes away the money only to find out a psychopath killer is on his trail along with the sheriff (Tommy Lee Jones). It certainly is a tensed and violent setting but also artistically tragic film. Consider this movie to one big coin toss. Heads or tales its your call. You've been calling it your whole life.

We all watch the Watchmen


This is not your average superhero movie. An ex-superhero was thrown through a glass window many stories from the ground. Was his murder somehow connected to the feared imminent nuclear holocaust between America and Russia? Come and find out in this thriller and quest for survival and freedom. People are expecting a batman or spiderman like superhero movie but dont be disappointed because the story is very unique in a political sense. It changes your concept of heroism and ideas of corruption in the governmental system. So widen your mind with this movie because it would certainly get you thinking about the world your living in.


Forrest Gump, A Classic


Life is like a box of chocolate. You never know what you get. Remember that quote. Its a good old classic. Taking away the academy awards, it has become one of the most recognizable film of all time.


Forrest Gump struggled through hardship in his childhood with his only best friend Jenny. In his tale, he has captured fame and fortune but Jenny, his one true love, eluded him.


In our opinion, there is no other movie that has touched the hearts of the audience like Forrest Gump. Tom Hanks delivers an astounding performance and teaches us everyday life's lesson. quite simply, its the great movie and will continue to inspire us to challenge ourselves and never give up in any situations

Cirque du Freak, Vampire assistant

Crepsley & Darren

When 2 best friends went to a freak show, an adventure was awaiting them. Mesmerized by the show and talents they went backstage to investigate the freaks. Darren stole a spider belonging to a vampire named Crepsley and were caught in a twist. Trouble was lurking as the spider bit Steve and Darren desperately had to save his best friend by becoming a half vampire. However, Steve became rebelious and joined the darkside with Mr Tiny. In the end, the 2 friends are now enemies and had to battle each other in a fight between good and evil.


Nowadays vampire movie is very popular among teenagers and this movie is a chance for the director to get close to his audience. This film was enjoyable and if you're looking for fun, then this may suit you.

Coming Soon.....


Hold on tight and fasten your seat belts. Wolfman is coming out next month and its the most highly anticipated movie of all the new release. Yeah, you've seen those preview on television. Directed by Joe Johnston, its a story about Lawrence Talbot who returns to his family estate after his brother went missing. Re uniting with his father, a secret past is revealed to him and thereon his destiny awaits him. Though we're not familiar with the casts, its surely a must watch movie. So prepare for this adventure and be sure to have cash in your wallet for the cinemas.

Most disappointing movie


Can you imagine the end of world would end up like 2012? This movie is full action packed graphics and it defines science. Logically, the events in 2012 is very unlikely but you never know what the future holds if you are a firm believer. However, the story lacks creativity and a good story line. How did this movie turned into the most disappointing movie. Well, the story shouldn't have end like a Noah's ark type of synopsis. It made the movie very predictable and boring. With bad acting, 2012 is probably one of the worst movie ever made.

The Twilight Saga


Theres nothing more romantic than seeing vampires in love. So we will give you our verdicts on Twilight and New Moon. Edward Cullen, a vampire who mysteriously falls in love with a mortal named Bella goes through a quest to escape from their enemies. In Twilight, this movie shows you how they met. Bella was introduce to Edward's long existing vampire family. Towards the end Bella was not accepted among other vampires and so she finds herself fighting for her life. In New Moon Edward had to stay away from Bella to save her from danger. To do so, he journeyed to another kingdom to surrender himself to the King of the Vampires. Initially heartbroken, Bella finds comfort in reckless living and a closer friendship with Jacob whos a werewolf. Lastly a conflict broke out between Edward and Jacob to fight for Bella.

Many people argued that New Moon was dissapointing. Well Twilight has originality, character developement and explanations, New Moon is better in terms of production-wise. Both movies are great and lively. So what do you think about the Twilight Saga. Doesn't it just takes your breath away....

Hollywood vs Malaywood


You may be offended by our opinion but dont take it serious because it is what it is, just opinion. In this post, we will compare our local films to that of Hollywood films. Obviously, Hollywood beats our local films by a huge margin because mainly of their financial investment. The more you spend, the more quality you get out of it. In Malay movies, the camera angles and the graphics are poorly done and not up to date. Their story line is predictable, typical and seems like the director have limited ideas. Another reason is the actors themselves. Malaysians have a tendency to overact and copy the western style.

Eventhough our local films arent eyecatching, we still keep our culture in movie making and produce an average show which gives moral lesson and good motives. There are certain malay films which are great and so never stop giving support to the locals so that they may improve and modernize their films.

Another masterpiece from Quentin Tarantino


Inglourious Basterds makes the box office with a lot critism but after watching the movie, we were surprsised how harshed the reviews were. You've got to admit watching the preview was awesome seeing Brad Pitt giving orders to his troops but let us tell you that the movie is no different. The film was dark and violent but hilarious mixing tensed moments with laughter. Tarantino (director) throws in everything in the story whose thirst for blood is never ending.

The movie tells the story of 2 assassination plots to take out Nazi leaders; one planned by a Jewish girl and the other by a group called The Basterds led by Aldo Raine (Brad pitt).

One review claimed that Tarantino got lost in a fictional World War II. The reactions of other critics gave a standing ovation at the first screening of the movie. Whatever the review they received, the movie was one hell of a ride. If you're not a fan of his style, this film may be a little hard to swallow nevertheless it is a must watch movie.
