Movie: Daybreakers

Caught Daybreakers on Sunday! Shyt, I know, I know, thats too many movies in a week. T.T 3 movies in a week, spent more than RM40. I feel so broke and sad. And I planned to buy a hair straightener to curl my hair! How am I gonna afford it now??? *pout* Atleast, 2 out of the 3 movies were good.

Yes, this 3rd movie, I do NOT like this movie. It's sad. The concept is there, the story is there, but it ain't very big, like, very very interesting, I dunno, maybe the vampire fever is dying down, and, the ending is quite terrible. It ended, but it didn't end nicely. I think it was all too simple, too easy, and there wasn't much emotion to it, just some stupid gruesome parts. And the 3 only times that shocked us all was when the bat screetched and flew pass the screen /.\ 

Ah, I think I can relate this movie to 30 Days of Night. I think.

So, Daybreakers is about the entire world which had turned into vampires. Everyone was immortal. Everyone stayed the same and drank blood. Those humans who did not want to convert into vampires were harvested bit by bit to feed the vampire population. But then, one day, they ran outta blood. All the humans were sucked dry. Except for a few who managed to escape and be in hiding.

The evil business guy who controlled the military, blood supply and everything big wanted to make a substitute for human blood to sustain the vampire race to reproduce more humans.

Budden this scientist managed to come in touch with these humans who found a way to convert vampires back to humans.

Then some miraculous easier way was discovered and they found an antidote but don't know if everyone turned back to human because it didn't end properly. The End!

I know.. shucks!

That's about it. Oh, I finished reading Shopaholic Abroad!! Wanting Shopaholic Ties the Knot! Who has it?

:D

Movie: The Lovely Bones

Caught this movie quite late last night because we didn't have anything better to do and boyfie was too tired to go drinking.

This movie gave me awful post-movie feelings T.T I was sad, disturbed and paranoid. Lol. Sorry, I have a weak heart. And that was too much of a thrill for me. T.T

But don't get me wrong. This was a pretty good movie. It's such a good thriller (thought it was supposed to be a drama) that it got me all nerved up and tense and you know, just so anxious and nervous that one would sit up straight throughout if one were watching at home. But I didn't dare sit up because I felt so insecure and we were also sitting on the last row with the door behind us so I constantly leaned on boyfie while demanding him to hug me throught the movie. lol. Too scary k T.T

When I say this is a good movie and a good thriller is because they had so much, er,  Thriller ETHICS! Lol, I mean like. Instead of suddenly throwing scary images at us or sudden frightening sounds with scary images to get us all tense, scared and shout like mad; they had nice flashbacks and like changes of scenes and smooth moves to show dead people (>_<.) that are so smooth that you watch it, you are tense, but you can't shout because you don't need to shout because, I don't know, it's too thrillling and interesting and good to waste time on shouting. you get it right? right? nvm >_<.

But apart from all the scary negative feelings, it was a very artistic film. Go Peter Jackson! It was dreamy and beautiful. Showing the girl (Susie) caught in between heaven and earth. It sure does make dying seem a lot more beautiful. But to me it's sad and scary somehow. Despite the beauty and wonderfulness and perfectness of it all, something is not right for Susie, therefore, she still have nightmares, unable to talk to people she love  (apart from some connection reaching out thing to her friends and family) and still linger around like a ghost. Oh, they never mentioned the word 'ghost' in the movie, instead, treat her like she is there but just there and not like scary there which makes it so personalised, so, so, not scary but scary >_<. there i go again >_<.

Anyway, it's a pretty good movie to watch. It's beautiful and realistic apart from the fantasy-between-heaven-and-earth-land. I guess it's supposed to bring out a beautiful positive  message, but for a scaredy-cat like me, haha, it was a but much to handle >_<. But I'm okay now, really. >_<. It's just that the after effects and emotions it brought me was really strong. Strong untill, whenever I open my eyes, I think about it, and how much it's too young for us to die T.T May God protect all young people in the world. which somehow its  a lil bit impossible but may it not be so scary and painful T.T

Unlike any thriller that just scares you and haunt you for a while then leave you, this movie will be over, and still cause you to ponder upon it while felling freaked and paranoid lol.

Movie: How to Train Your Dragon in 3D

Watched this movie on Thursday night and it was FAWESOME!!!! I LOVE DRAGONS! Well, if they were like in the movies, so dangerous yet so cute and sweet. Why does the description sound so much like a hot dangerous guy? wtf nvm.

The movie is just great. Original. Funny. Cool. Beautiful. and everything nice.

I was sooooo excited when I read the ratings and reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB. Rotten Tomatoes rated it 90%!!! 90!!!!! That's like effing good ok! Rotten Tomatoes is so known (to me) to give movies really low and digraceful ratings, but this movie, managed to hit A+ ok?!?!?! Even IMDB rated lower. >_<.

Anyway, if you read the reviews, it's got something to do with Vikings, Dragons and stuff. I don't really know how to narrate, but I can spoil it for ya.. ;)

Here goes, theres this boy in the Viking tribe who finds it hard for 'all-of-him" to fit in because he's small and weak and clumsy and stuff. He really really really wanted to fight and kill a dragon to please his dad and the rest of the Viking tribe and girl. >_<.

Budden he managed to shoot down a most wanted dragon, the Night Fury. But failed to kill it, instead, learnt alot about it. And more, and saved his entire town ANDDDd changed the Vikings minds and made friends with them dragons!

The End!

Okay, I'm bad at describing the whole movie but, it really is good. You gotta watch to know. Oh, and 3D isn't bad for this movie because it's bright and clear. Really good experience. WIll most definitely buy the DVD soon! hehehehes!!! 

Enjoy

Movie: Green Zone

Watched Green Zone yesterday.

It was AMAZING! The SUSPENSEEE!! It's kinda like the Bourne Trilogy and Snipper that kinda movie, the drum rolls got my eyes peeled. It's a MUST WATCH!

Spoiler:

In the movie, the US lied about Iraq having real WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) just to start war and change the political leaders of Iraq for their own benefit (which we all know its because of the oil). Miller (Matt D) was this chief soldier guy who suspected something fishy. And I guess was kind of a softy too, so, he tried to investigate with the help of  Martin (CIA guy) and an Iraqi guy, Freddy (Poor Freddy). Then Then.. all was revealed in the end of the movie by Miller!!! The asshole high ranking guy, who was so obviously hiding something from the start cos of his stupid stubourn cocky face (sorry, cant help it, he was so unreasonable and cocky in the movie) wasn't really pleased in the end because things didn't really turn out the way he wanted things to :p (Eventhough Al Rawi was shot in the end oops =x)

Thoughts:

Sigh, what's becoming of the world today? Where is the love? People being greedy, wanting so much more than they can handle that they would even hurt other fellow human beings for it. When all other people want is peace, freedom and fair treatment. Breaks my heart.

Shouldn't we start looking and changing the man in the mirror?

bELIve

 

Watched The Book of Eli yesterday. At the start I thought it was pretty boring because they were dragging on about how this guy named Eli survived and lived on his mission. Then it got gruesome because he started killing, and the killing was bloody and disgusting and all (weak heart sorry). Then, the story starts to get interesting. And I am again reminded, of what faith can do. No more spoiling :P Go watch. It's not bad.

On another  note, the "boring part" :p my thoughts:

I just really want to say that I am very grateful to have a religion. Honestly, I'm not very very religious, thought I do go to church on Saturdays as often as I can >_<. But, I believe, that there is a God, and that we are practically praying to the same God or something like that.

I always think that religion is like a guideline. A moral story that we are taught since young., that keeps us on track, that tells us what is "good" and "bad". The bible to me is like a history book, a very very interesting history book indeed. There are many stories in it and how different people get through their times of suffering, and all end with a moral lesson. And these stories surprisingly, is almost related to almost everything we go through in life.

When I was in my early teens, I was really an unhappy child, don't really remember why, maybe it was partially because of puberty. But anyway, sometimes I would cry like theres no tomorrow, and my heart would hurt from all the crying then, I would suddenly put my hands together and go, "Oh God..." then start pouring out all my problems and what's causing all that trouble and all, and then ask God, to help lighten the weight of my sadness, and pray that tomorrow will be a better day. And surprisingly after saying that, I felt better, it's like, when there's nobody left on earth that you can cry to, there is still one very special person that will always be there for you, the Father in heaven.

 

Which reminds me, when I was a kid in Sunday school, one student asked the teacher, there are so many people on earth, how can one Father listen to everyone's prayers?(that time Bruce Almighty not out yet mah) 

Then the teacher said, God is very special, he has many many ears and can hear everybody's problems at once, and help everyone.

Then I started thinking that, oh, God is so smart, because half of the earth is night and the other half is day and it changes, so God can listen to half of the world's prayers and then the other half later. wtf.

Well, I guess it's all about faith ehy? Something we believe in, without seeing. The thing that gives us hope and would bring us through our daily lives.

It's hard to describe it, but I guess when you have faith in something, you will just believe it without needing a reason.

I guess that's why Eli described "faith" like this after being questioned on the voice in his head by Solora, "No, I walk by faith, not by sight. It means that you know something even if you don't know something. It doesn't have to make sense, it's faith, it's faith (a little aggitated). It's the flower of light in the field of darkness, it's giving me the strength to carry on, you understand? (Solara: 'Is that from your book?') No it's Johnny Cash, live from Folsom prison." 

lol.

Anyway, have faith that good will come people. :D

The girl's point of view

I recently watched this movie Marley and Me by Owen Wilson and Jennifer Anniston.
I thought previously (after watching the trailer) that it must be another one of those crap movies where a guy whos afraid to have kids with his wife just go adpot a dog and later realises a dog is just as much of a trouble and rather have kids instead in the end.
But little did I know not only about how interesting this movie is, it also portrays very realistic and meaningful lessons to life.
It is touching. Not only the part of a pet being a part of the family, but also the whole idea of the progress of our lives, the paths we choose for ourselves and the unexpected outcomes there might be.

I guess, everything would start in what we believe in. What we want ourselves to turn out to be.
Which brings me to another thought, about what we girls/women/ladies/females want in our own lives, and how, we, would like them to turn out to be.

Some girls, mostly traditional ones, may dream to just marry a dude and let him take care of her for the rest of her life while she fulfills her 'female' duties of bringing down his name and taking care of their offspring.

Some, maybe more educated ones would think of getting a steady normal job 1st, enough to support herself, then get married, and have kids and live a steady normal life. And incase, as she has heard and seen many cases before, that her husband fails her she would still have her job to sustain her and her kids.

Some or most modern women may dream to be a successful women. Be independent. Living her life her own way. Reaching her sky high dreams. Men, well, they will always just be a bonus. Most are cheats and liars anyway.

However, MOST women nowadays I believe, would want the best of both worlds. Where she can be rich and successful and yet have the man of her dreams and beautiful children she could love and care for which they in turn will grow up and love and care for her just the same. Wow, now would that make a girl happy? Ofcourse, even I want that life.

But honey, don't be naive, dream all you want, reality, is a cruel joke. One can never have the best of both worlds.

If a girl really wants to be successful, how long will that take her? 20-30 years? counting in the sexist reality of the working world (the glass ceiling), never? And by the time she actually reaches her dreams, she'll look in the mirror and go, I'm 40. Who will marry me?
Lets say she married earlier in life while climbing the ladder, she worked so hard. Could a man take that? Seeing his wife work the same way he does. Who's gonna take care of the kids and teach them moral values and show them all the love in the world? "What kinda woman is this?!" the husband would go. And there comes in the many divorces in her life. (Just like Miranda in Devil Wears Prada).
What if her family's more important? I guess she'll abandon all the hard work she has spilled all her sweat and blood on, quit her job, lower her perfomance or something to be a 12-hour-mother. (Just like in Marley and Me, how depressed Jenny felt!)
Nowonder a woman can never get up there! She's still a woman, she has maternal instincts and she should never be trusted with a high rank in the office. She'd just abondon it when the time comes! Therefore, how could we blame them for discriminating? We looked for it ourselves.

Lets say in the best case u were born rich, parents shower money to u and secure ur life from the begining till the end. Introducing u to the hottest rich dude. Perfect husband, perfect life, and plenty of time for your future princes and princesses. Which brings another question in mind, why aren't those upper-east-sidders happy? Scandals, rascals happen all because one has too much money and power. *sigh* And even if those bad stuff don't happen, how many of us will actually be so lucky? And how many of those lucky ones actually treasure what they already have?

I guess this world is made with two sides, Good and bad.
And in everyone's life there is equality, Good and bad.
Therefore, one can only choose the best, which makes one happiest, which also consists of good and bad.

It is unfair because as long as you HAVE to choose, it is already unfair.

How nice it would be, if we were born with simple thoughts, simple values in life, like the lil girl in the kampung. I guess, she's would be the happiest. Even though we are the ones who look down on her (thinking of educating her, filling her mind with greed, power and equality).

So what's ur say in a woman's life?

I say its VERy unfair =(
And all men gotta do is get rich. And he complains that she complains a lot when she just feel life's unfair and wants him to understand and lend her an ear and be there for her.

I guess we should all just listen to our parents who know best, get a steady job, marry, have kids, raise them, and make sure they grow up to be just like you. There is good and bad in this. But that's life. Good and bad makes ur life meaningful and fulfilled I guess.
And that's our purpose I guess.

And to the men out there, treasure your women, love them till the very end. If she's still with you, she's already sacrificied tons of opportunities in her life for you. You're the path she's chosen. Make her happy, let her feel it's worth it, don't let her regret it.

=D~ End of my current thoughts which has been stuck in my head for years already. lol.


I know I think alot of crap, just looking for a place to throw all my crap so I wouldn't have to keep it all in my head /.\
Nowonder my white hairs are all popping out! ARGhhH! Gonna dye it after finals! Grr
