Resident Evil Extinction


Ok, not that I've watched the previous shows or anything. I think one of the most important lesson learned from here is, don't mess with nature as it is. Leave it as it is. Pristine and Pure

Ok for the uninitiated, (Spoilers ahead..) there is this Umbrella Corporation and the T-virus, Umbrella Corp created this virus but this virus couldn't be contained and so it spreaded from US to the whole world drying up everything and turning virtually every single tliving thing into zombies....

So then comes Alice, Umbrella's greatest and finest product. And the rest..GO WATCH THE SHOW.

In Extinction, ok...there were lots of zombies, fighting and gore. I'm cool with the fighting. I think the fighting scenes were awesome especially when Alice showed her skills and abilities. But I kind of think that the scare tactics used in this show is a bit cliche. It was kind of predictable especially when the music creates that scary effect. K, I wouldn't say remove it completely but do it differently.

Still there were some pretty interesting moments in the show. Don't quite like zombies anyway and the gore....maybe not my kind of thing either. But still, this show is ok. Prob a 6.5/10 or B-

HAIRSPRAY

When was the last time I've watched a musical, ok that was last year in KLPac and that was Broken Bridges which I think was not bad but the ensemble could have been better. But this..HAIRSPRAY is a must watch musical for all you fans of Musicals. It's also a recommendation from me to all the movie-goers. I really enjoyed watching it.


What caught me offguard was when James Marsden sang. Ok if you haven't already know this dude is Cyclops in the X-Men trilogy. And in my opinion, he was pretty insignificant in the whole trilogy. What a waste but anyway HE CAN REALLY SING. Ok Michelle Pffiiffer does know how to sing. I think most of the songs were good. And i think Nikki Blonsky really fit her character Tracy Turnblad. I think she was great in bringing out her character for a newcomer.





Thank goodness she really persevered to get her role. In fact, she didn't attend the real auditions and got picked for the part!


Hairspray stars John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Amanda Bynes, Queen Latifah, the familiar Zac Efron, Brittany Snow, Nikki Blonsky etc......


Ok JOHN TRAVOLTA was so hillarious throughout the show.

"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings"


Now let's see, they call this summer, The summer of sequels. NO doubt it is. First there was Spiderman 3, and then came Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End and then the recent Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and finally Shrek 3. Haven't seen Fantastic Four or Shrek 3 though, but so far, the only movie which has deserved an A from me is Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End. Spiderman was too incoherent, too many villain fights and the story didn't quite flow for me.

I got to say this. Even without seeing Shrek 3 or Fantastic Four. I can say this with great confidence.


TRANSFORMERS GETS AN "A" FROM ME


(A is the highest rating by my standards.)


Transformers has got it all. If there's one show that has really blown me out of my expectations. Like BLOOOoooooooWwwwchhh!!! Its gotta be Transformers. The war between the Autobots and the Decepticons has definitely been told in a very heartfelt, humorous and emotional manner without losing its storyline.

ITS THE BEST MOVIE SO FAR FOR ME THIS YEAR, that's not a sequel. (ok i already told u guys my fav sequel right??}



They say Choose a Side. Obviously I will choose not to destroy. But can I choose humans. Eh that's also protectingkan??

At first I thought, how in the world are they going to tell a story about transforming robots in a way that's gonna draw people's attention or even the fan's attention. I wasn't even convinced when I saw the trailer. Yeap, trailers show the best parts of the show and often those are the only ones. So having watch a number of transformer cartoons when I was young, I kind of like ok... Hollywood is gonna screw up again. Even Michael Bay couldn't convince me. I thought this is gonna be one crap movie again. They're gonna wreck one of my fav childhood cartoons on the big screen. Back then I was like OH NO!!!

Nevermind that there are transforming robots and quite a big chunk of human element in the whole movie. A lot of fans were whining about this. Even I was, but who cares about that. I'm quite sure without the human element, this show wouldn't be as good. Shia Labeouf is an amazing actor. He really gets the humour going on as Witwicky.

It's a robot. You know, like a super advanced robot. It's probably Japanese.

Sam Witwicky

Throughout the show, there's always a problem pronouncing his surname, "Witicky..." or "Witiwiticky." Josh Duhamel, the sergeant whom I'm pretty sure all the girls will drool over.


He really gets it going as one of the greatest Decepticons exterminator. OK Megan Fox is not my fav girl on screen but she's hot though!!!



Some parts are corny though but somehow in this show, it as corny as it is hillarious and enjoyable. Really the whole cinema went into a frenzy of laughter in some parts. Oh ya, there's again the Matrix slow mos, but really it makes it even better!!

OH ya, the transforming sequences are juz simply yummy. There are juz fantastic. Love Bumble Bee. my fav Autobot a Chevrolet Camaro in the show. Hey even the Autobots were hillarious especially the hiding around the house part. The transformers even curse especially Frenzy, the annoying tiny Decepticon. Fight scenes were awesome and even the seats and floor rumble during the final battle!!!





Guess I shouldn't spoil it more. Its juz so evil for me to do it right?? I din spoil that much I guess. Did I??? OH ya if you've read this far remember to empty ur freaking bladder!!. It's a 2 and a half hour show plus those dumb ads, I guess allow yourself 3 hours of bladder-filling time. So if u dun wanna miss any second of the show, please piss it all out then watch the show..Savvy???

Nobody move! I've dropped me brain...

Nobody move! I've dropped me brain...

Jack Sparrow



See dat dude wielding his pirate sword up there. He's Jack Sparrow. I love his character and Johnny Depp sure acted brilliantly. All his facial expression, subtle nuances, tone of voice and body language was splendidly executed and I really hope he will be winning an award for his effort despite the show being too pop-ish. Awards have a funny habit of eluding blockbusters..

The nearly 3 hours sitting on those cushioned seats was worth da wait and thankfully I was prepared for the potential bladder rupture disaster. So those who want to watch this show uninterrupted, pls dun forget to clear ur bladder!!

Gosh AJ, I shud have taken ur tickets but it was kinda bad timing for me. I could have saved RM11 at KLCC.

This show is 2 thumbs up for me.

Rating: A

WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD.







This part constitutes my favourite lines of the movie. Seriously when Pirates came out, I had no idea that it would be a Disney production. But I guess its all in the script, which is great. I could imagine myself rehearsing or saying the lines. Very British...ahem

Of course, you've seen the first one.
Jack Sparrow: Nobody move! I've dropped me brain.

Jack Sparrow: Did no one come to save me just because they missed me?



When there were in the Davy Jones Locker...
Jack Sparrow: Why should I sail with any of you? Four of you have tried to kill me in the past... one of you succeeded.
Jack Sparrow: Oh, she's not told you. You'll have loads to talk about while you're here. As for you...
Jack Sparrow: Don't need you [to Ragetti]
Jack Sparrow: Gibbs, you can come, Marty, Cotton... Cotton's parrot, I'm a little iffy... At least I'll have someone to talk to... Who are you?



With The chinese pirate
Tai Huang: Tai Huang. These are my men.
Jack Sparrow: Where does your allegiance lie?
Tai Huang: With the highest bidder.
Jack Sparrow: I have a ship.
Tai Huang. That makes you the highest bidder.

Ragetti
Ragetti: These aren't pieces of eight, they're pieces of junk!
Ragetti: Calypso, I release you from your human form.
(Man i didn know he had a crush on her....




Elizabeth when she became the Pirate Queen
Elizabeth Swann: You all listen to me! LISTEN! The other ships will still be looking to us, the Black Pearl to lead, and what will they see? Frightened bilgerats aboard a derelict ship? No, they will see free men and freedom! And the enemy will see the flash of our canons and they will hear the ringing of our swords and they will know what we can do! With the sweat of our brow and the strength of our backs and the courage in our hearts! Gentlemen, Hoist the Colours...


Johnny Depp: So where's mum?
Father: (lifts up mother's head)
Johnny Depp: Ohhh, She looks great...


Johnny Depp:[reading off a map] "Up is down"? Well, that's just maddeningly unhelpful.

Pintel: So change the name.
Gibbs: To what? To "nine pieces of whatever we happen to have in our pockets at the time"? Oh, yes. That sounds very piratey.
Lol dis is funny



Elizabeth Swann: Jack, it would never have worked out between us.
Jack Sparrow: Keep telling yourself that, darling.
(Hahaha, dis is the momentary romantic sparkle between them...)


For all the detractors and naysayers of this show, shush and leave!!!
