Lets talk about movie marathon



Weekend yg lepas aku tak keluar g memane pon, memang takde mood sangat nak keluar (selalunya hari sabtu kitorang keluar g jusco beli barang2 keperluan rumah OR g la jalan2 ke mana-mana mall kat KL ni), but this time rase nak rehat je kat rumah. Maybe sebab the previous weekend kitorang letih dengan kenduri kawin adik, so bila cuti lagi memang nak rehat cukup2 la. Bila dah duk rumah seharian ape lagi la yg kitorang buat kalau tak menonton movies. Jumaat malam dah start tengok movie dah sebab tau the next day tak keje and boleh tido lambat.

Movies yg kitorang tengok sepanjang hujung minggu yg lalu adalah:

1. Australia
Kitorang start layan movie ni jumaat malam, tapi dapat tengok separuh je sebab Iman meragam, so layan Iman sampai dia tidur dan tak lame pastu ngan kitorang sekali tidur. So sambung balik the next morning, around 7am sebab Iman dah bangun minum susu dan tak nak tido2 dah.

At first I thought this movie must be boring because the title is so simple, I thought it’s just about Australia and its history and to make people want to watch it they make Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman act in it since they are Australian but I was wrong. Cerita ni tak boring langsung. In fact, it is so interesting and has only a tiny bit of history in it, the rest is all about the story of Mrs. Boss (Nicole Kidman) who is English. Surprisingly she’s acting as an English woman and not as Australian despite being an Australian herself and acting in a movie called Australia. Do you get what I’m trying to say? I know my English is incredibly horrible right.hehehe. I also love the cinematography in this movie because it’s like you’re watching some cartoon movie or musical movie coz the songs in this movie are great and cute and sweet. But then again the director of this movie also directed Moulin Rouge, no wonder la. I recommend everyone to watch this movie because it’s nice and so that you’ll understand what I’m actually trying to explain here because I’m terrible with all this explaining things.

2. Private Valentine – Blonde and dangerous
This one is sort of comedy movie, Jessica Simpson act as a famous movie star (which she is) who are not so bright (? what do you think) and suddenly she found out that she’s bankrupt. One thing led to another, she then joins the US Army. Can you imagine the sweet blonde Jessica Simpson as an army? Funny, funny, cute and funny.

3. Marley & me
Again I thought this movie must be boring since it’s about a dog named Marley and it’s inspired from a novel. So I thought it must be slow flowing and boring, OMG. But surprisingly it’s a great story. I would suggest any parents to watch this movie with their kids because this movie is about how Marley is bonding with this newly wed couple. This movie is full of fun, surprise, excitement and some touching moments. Also highly recommended. My only problem is that I think Jennifer Aniston’s face looks different. Actually her cheekbone, her chin, and her eyes look different, I wonder why?

4. 7 Pounds
A colleague of mine one day told me that this movie is depressing. When I meet my husband after work on that same day, he actually just bought a pirated DVD of this movie. So when I told him about my colleague comment I think I kinda scared him because he hesitated to watch the movie. He thought the movie must be so terribly boring we better not watch it. But thanks to Zira (she came by our place last Saturday with 2 box of pizza and a box of cinnabon and join us watch Marley and me. Movie, foods and friend, how great is that) she said she have watched it and she said she like the movie. So now that we have 2 different opinions, my husband suddenly want to watch it to see which one is right.

We start the movie around 9pm, he slept after half an hour and I watch the movie by my self till the end, around 12pm. Yes, the story is slow. Although there are some surprise elements in the movie especially the main character played by Will Smith, the flow and storyline just a bit too slow. So I recommend you to watch this movie during the day or in the morning when you don’t have the tendency to fall asleep.

5. Punisher – War Zone
I thought this was the sequel for The Punisher (2004), but it’s not. This one is like another version of Punisher, more violent one. I hate violent movie so I hate this movie. I like The Punisher (2004) better, the one where John Travolta played the villain. That one is more like a Hollywood movie while this new Punisher is like a cheap movie. I don’t understand why they make this new version of punisher. But then again my husband said, the new Punisher is more similar to the Punisher comic character. He’s bigger and more violent. Oh well, I still don’t like it. Bak kate Azura “ saya benci pada keganasan”.

6. Quantum of Solace
In order for you to fully understand this movie, you have to first watch Casino Royale or else you’ll be a bit lost and find the movie a bit boring. As for me, I don’t think this one is boring at all, it’s a good movie but Casino Royale is better.

Itu la saje yg aku berjaya tengok utnuk minggu ni. Actually aku suka tengok ape2 movie pon, tak kesah la cerita baru ke lame, semua aku layan and tak kesah cerita tu boring pon bila aku boring2 aku layan jugak. In fact ade satu movie ni yg mendapat review sangat teruk dari kawan2 aku yg dah tengok dan dari paper2 yg aku bace dan aku sangat nak tengok, Dragon Ball. Since all teh reviews are so bad i just can't wait to watch it my self to see how bad it actually is. Lagi pun aku bace semua comic dragon ball tu dari awal sampai habis, so nak tau la sejauh mane diorang merosakkan cerita tu.hehehe
