"Movie yang dah basi tapi nak review jugak!" ~ ABDUCTION (2011 film)



Hari ni I nak update pasal movie yang berjudul "Abduction". Yes, mmg movie yang telah lama basi (released tahun 2011 and now dah 2013, dah jadi tempoyak basi dah) but bapak best!

I saw this movie twice at Astro channel Fox Movies Premium and disebabkan ianya terlalu best, I gotta mention about it in my blog.

Kenapa laaa tak tengok since it was first out in cinema? Kalau best yang tahap two thumbs up dan two toe fingers up, mmg dah lama tengok! 

So before membebel benda lain, I will give a light intro on this movie just to create your interest (macam lah boleh).

Movie ni is about seorang budak lelaki (Taylor Lautner a.k.a Jacob twilight, si serigala macho) yang discover bahawa ibu bapa yang menjaga dan membesarkan nya selama ini bukanlah ibu bapa nya yang sebenar, setelah dia menjumpai gambarnya semasa kanak-kanak di sebuah laman web "missing persons" sewaktu dia sedang membuat assignment utk sekolah nya. 

Dengan perasaan yang sangat shocked & takut, si Taylor ni pergilah contact the web site customer service & chat with the person online. Sebenarnya website tu bertujuan untuk cari semula mangsa2 yang hilang ni and waiting for informations about the missing persons supaya mereka dapat kidnap semula dan menggunakan kanak-kanak ni untuk kepentingan asal mereka. Semua orang2 yang hilang ni adalah 'berharga' bagi mereka. So bila Taylor contacted them, they are able to trace Taylor's location & cepat2 hantar orang2 mereka to get Taylor. 

Taylor kemudian keluar dari biliknya apabila terdengar bunyi bising & sangat terperanjat bila melihat ibu angkatnya ditikam oleh orang jahat di dalam rumah. He realized that they are already here & that they are coming for him. Si Taylor ni pun cepat2 lah melarikan diri & bermula lah 1 adventure yang sangat 'suspen' dan 'thrilling'. Tapi endingnya jenis yang love/hate ending- means ada bad ones and ada happy ones. 

You all wajib tengok cerita ni & confirm x akan kecewa. It is full of suspense & for those who favor thriller movies, mmg yang ni salah satu yang best sangat.

Diantara castings dalam filem ni:-


Kalau I cerita panjang2 nanti, dah tak best lah you all nak tengok cerita ni kan? So pergi lah speedy video ke, download ke, whatever, and tengok sendiri ok! Happy watching!!! ^_^

The Croods ~ Terbaik!!!

Last Saturday, macam biasa lah, me & hubby's usual outing at night was going out for a movie. Hari Sabtu lah hari yang paling di nanti-nantikan every week sbb I love going out with hubby sooo much ^_^

At first I wanted to watch "The Host" or "Olympus has fallen", but Hubby opted for "The Croods". My friends cakap cerita tu mmg best gila, so I said, why not? As long as dapat tengok wayang dengan hubby dah happy sgt dah ^___^ So, earlier that day hubby bought the ticket via online..senang je, sampai dkt counter nanti just give the booking number & ta-daa, they all akan bagi the ticket, sangat hassle-free.. Lepas tu he sms me the booking number, I was very surprised sbb ingat x jadi tengok wayang that night. Sbb mula2 pun dia cakap dia tak nak keluar, prefer duduk rumah. Macam2 hubby I ni. Buat surprise last minute. Of course happy Lah aku :-P

The movie started at 10.15pm but we were still queuing up at the pop corn counter, hahaha... Sampai kena marah Encik hubby dengan I sbb degil sgt nak beli pop corn although movie dah nak start.

Lucky for us, when we finally got our pop corns & entered our cinema, the movie havent started yet & masih tengah iklan.

The croods, dari awal sampai habis mmg best sangat. Here are the synopsis:-

"The Croods tells the story of the world's first family road trip. When their cave is destroyed, the Crood family must embark on a comedy adventure into strange and spectacular territory in search of a new home. As if patriarch Grug (Cage) didn't already have enough to handle, it goes from bad to worse when they encounter an imaginative nomad named Guy (Reynolds.) With Guy's help the Croods conquer their fear of the outside world and discover that they have exactly what it takes to survive - each other.(c) Paramount" - source: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the-croods/

Cerita ni mengimbas kembali zaman orang gua, so we are presented with "The Croods" family who were one of those cave men masa tu. Starting cerita, dia tunjuk how "The Croods" memburu utk mendapatkan makanan. It was so funny how all of them chased a bird's egg semata2 utk makan bersama2. It was such a survival episode. Lepas gua mereka di musnahkan oleh natural disaster, they fight to find a new home & discover new hope during the journey. Mmg kelakar sgt isi2 dalam cerita tu, full of comedy. Banyak parts yang I ketawa non-stop & ada parts yang I shed tears. Hubby cakap I tengok cerita cartun mana pun akan nangis kalau ada sad parts. Lol...

I highly recommend this movie to all of you yang suka comedy, boleh juga bawa anak2.. Macam kami, kami bawak anak2 tekak kami, so ketawa lah bagai nak rak guna anak tekak masing2. Hahaha.. ok, it aint funny tasha.. :-P
  
Voices behind this movie characters pun famous2. 



For example, The voice for Grug was Nicholas Cage:-


 And the voice for Eep was Emma Stone:-

Emma Stone punya muka x terang in this picture. This one better:-

Kenal kan? ;-) The modern Spiderman's gf :-P

Also ada Ryan Reynolds, whose voice was used for Guy character in this movie:-

Character yang I paling suka dalam "The Croods" ni is Belt The Sloth:-

 Comel gila Belt ni...... ^_________^

And Chunky the Tiger. At one part dia buat muka comel dia, mmg comel gila. Dia ni garang and asek nk makan "The Croods" je tapi in the end jadi pet kepada Grug. Hehehe...

The best part is, the sound track "OST" for this movie is sang by our very own Yuna.


Yuna & Owl City to be exact. They sang "Shine your way" together & this song is the official OST for this movie. Our very own YUNA. Proud of her for bringing up Malaysia's name di persada dunia.

 "Shine Your way", Owl City ft Yuna, The Croods OST.



2 Thumbs up! Jgn lupa tengok yer kawan2... ^_____^

Jack and The Giant Slayer ~ movie review


Title: Jack And The Giant Slayer
Date Released: March 2013
Director: Bryan Singer
Production Companies: New Line Cinema, Legendary Pictures, Original Films
Top Line Casts: Nicholas Hoult, Ewan Mcgregor, Eleanor Tomlinson, Stanley Tucci


My opinion about the Hero & Heroin:-
~Nicholas Hoult is the perfect Jack. He's very suitable for the farm boy character in this movie. He has this innocence look in him that really touch a girl's heart. This was my 1st time seeing him acting, and I love him very much. His built, his features and everything, suits the Jack hero in this movie. I watched 'the making'/ behind the scenes' and Nicholas appears to be more handsome in real life. My husband thought the same. I thought the choice of hero is perfect and wish to see him more in other movies.

~Eleanor Tomlinson played Princess Isabelle's character. She's stunning, beautiful and talented. I love her and this is also the first time I watched her play. But somehow I thought she looks older than Jack but I still agree with the choice of heroin

The Summary of The Story:-
"Jack the Giant Slayer" tells the story of an ancient war that is reignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants. Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack (Nicholas Hoult) into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom, its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend-and gets the chance to become a legend himself.-- (C) Warner Bros

Oh my God! I was totally amazed with this, my jaw kept dropping in awed. I grew up with fairy tales & I've always crazy about them. So when my hubby said "we're gonna watch the movie tonight", I went ecstatic! It didn't fail to satisfy my movie cravings & absolutely exceeds my expectation. A must watch!

My husband was all excited for the movie and I am glad we chose to watch this. Actually we were supposed to watch a back to back movies, and after 'Jack and The Giant Slayer', we were supposed to watch 'Oz, The Great and The Powerful'... But unfortunately, my stomach couldnt behave on that day and I was having this very bad diarrhoea and we ended up heading back home after the 1st movie, throwing the other ticket into the drain :-( Not good...

So the movie started off with the scenes of Jack and Princess Isabelle as kids, being told by their parent about the story of the Giants and King Eric. Jack was connected to the story ever since he was a little child. The plot is smooth and does not drag, definitely not boring. The giants faces are awesome, they were so massive. There were so many scenes that made my jaw dropped in awed especially those involving the giants. They were so big and they could ran very fast. There was this scene when they chased after Jack and the royals and I was like, 'woah! Run! Run! Faster!" I just couldn't bear the suspense. ;) it was damn awesome.
From the graphics, the scenery, the place, everything will leave u in awe, I highly suggest this to those fairytales lovers. 2 thumbs up ;-)

Falling head over heels with Pitch Perfect!


Have you watch the movie "Pitch Perfect" ? It was out in the theaters some time around October last year, 2012. I know, I am far too late to be excited about this movie now but I still wanna talk about it anyway. Hehehe...

It was hands down, another exciting movie ever produced. Comedies, passions, dramas, love, affections, blended nicely all in one.

Before I talk about it let's just read some of their intro.

Read the short reviews:

Beca is that girl who'd rather listen to what's coming out of her headphones than what's coming out of you. Arriving at her new college, she finds herself not right for any clique but somehow is muscled into one that she never would have picked on her own: alongside mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together, in the new out-loud comedy "Pitch Perfect."

When Beca takes this acoustic singing group out of their world of traditional arrangements and perfect harmonies into all-new mash-ups, they fight to climb their way to the top of the cutthroat world of college acappella. This could wind up either the coolest thing they'll ever do or the most insane, and it will probably be a little of both.

Loaded with new takes on old favorites to hits of right now that are seamlessly mixed together, mashed-up and arranged like you've never heard before, "Pitch Perfect" is directed by Jason Moore, who opened our eyes to the very misbehaved life of puppets in the surprise Broadway sensation "Avenue Q." 


I came across this movie by a recommendation from my sister-in-law. She was so thrilled with this movie & urged my husband and me to watch it. So, we borrowed the CD and planned to watch it later. We let the CD laid untouched on the TV cabinet as both of us could hardly made some time to watch it. Banyakkk sgt kerja di rumah yg perlu buat after work & by the time habis dinner kitorang slalu off to bed sbb esok nk kerja kan...

So last Thursday as I was having dinner, my husband asked me to put on the CD. I hated the idea cos I knew he would get into bed a bit later than usual to finish the movie. In fact, the next day was a working day. But I put on the CD anyway. At first we watched it together but I was feeling a bit off that night and I went inside my room to rest. Funny how soon after that I went back outside and cried, asking him to go to bed and accompany me (See how coward I am to sleep alone) and he turned off the CD & didnt succeed to finish it.

Last week he was on the night shift and when I already went out to work, he continued to watch it alone. He took advantage of me not being in the house. haha -.-

On Saturday, it was finally my chance to watch this movie as the next day was not a working day, so I could sleep late all I wish.

Wahhhhh seriously girls it was a very nice movie. Mmg best gila, I got all excited and clapped my hands in most part of the movie. Hahaha.. I was head over heels with the story lines and characters. The best part, I sang along with them & my husband were giggling like crazy watching his wife acting like a little girl. Hehehe. He was excited to let me watch the movie till he served me my anmum milk as requested. He didnt want me to miss any part. Hahaha. It was so funny and sweet of him!

This movie actually contains a lot of accapella performance but it was way cooler than any other similar genres. It was not a musical film though. I know, I hate that too, like Les Miserables hahaha... U will get goosebumps when u heard 'em sing. Really, such talented casts.

I discovered a new face, Rebel Wilson, a truly funny character. Well she is not someone new in the industry but I noticed her by last year. She starred in 'What to expect when you are expecting', 'Bridesmaid' & this Pitch Perfect movie as far as I know. Her character had always been a comedy, or so I noticed, and she could deliver such a big impact.

This was her in Pitch Perfect, doing some hilarious mermaid dancing in the audition
She called herself Fat Amy in this movie but I admit that she is actually quite pretty in her own way

U will also meet with a very annoying character, starred by Hana Mae Lee. She couldn't seems to produce any sounds from her mouth, being an extremely quite & soft-spoken girl in this movie.
Out of desperation, she was also selected to be in the acapella group due to the short head-counts. But she always made this round shape of mouth just like a gold fish and no one hardly hears what she gotta say. At the end of the competition, out of excitement and high spirit, she finally produced a sound hahaha....

Hana Mae Lee

My husband agreed with the choice of heroine. As for me, she was okay. U should probably know Jessica Stanley in Twilight movie. Yes, she is none other than ANNA Keddrick.

My husband said she is nice & pretty. I think she looks okay. But she has a very special voice. It was her original voice used in this movie.


Who was the hero then? I never seen him before, this was my first time seeing this face. Again, my husband agreed with the hero selection. He thought the hero was kinda romantic, pandai memujuk & mengambil hati katanya... Entah la... macam kureng hensem n hot je hehehe....

He is Skylar Astin, who do you think?


All in all, my most favourite character is.......................... She is also a new face I know, but I learnt in google that she have actually starred in so many movies and series before. Why do I like her so much? cos she is HOT!!!!

I couldn't stop complimenting her every time her face appeared on the screen. My husband just kept on shrugging his shoulder and acted like shes no big deal when I know all he was starring at was her boobs every time her role was played hahahaa! Like I said, she is so hot beyond words! Hotter than Megan Fox!

Hottest and most beautiful girl in the acapella group.


Ok lah! U try la tengok citer ni k! Mmg best.
