Movie – Saw VI (2009)

I don’t care if people think that the whole SAW franchise thing is lame or that the movie is stupid. I love SAW! As far as I am concerned, the gore, the B-grade acting (and B grade actresses with big breasts e.g. Jigsaw’s wife) , the insane flashbacks and twists in plots till I don’t [...]

Movie – Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land

Movie – Zombieland 2009

photo from here I love Woody Harrelson in most movies… he’s one of my all time fav ‘funny-men’ and have you seen him in that movie, dressed up as a tranny? Unbelievable. Anyway, what’s better than Woody Harrelson? Both Woody Harrelson AND Bill Murray in the same movie! Two of the funniest guys alive. Zombieland.. [...]

Movie – The Informers (2009)

If you once thought to yourself.. I wanna be a rockstar when I grow up.. This show will make you think twice. Image from here. “The Informers” follows the sordid life of a couple of young, rich, bored, talented(?) Los Angeles kids. There are the spoiled rich kids who spend their nights doing drugs (and [...]

Movie – The Boat that Rocked (2009)

Ah.. the 1960′s! Back in the day when the A-list of British rock bands reigned supreme.. BBC was only playing classical music and jazz instead of .. ROCK and ROLL. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Yardbirds, The Hollies.. all took a backseat. What a pathetic situation.. and with no commercial radio stations [...]

Movie – Johnny Mad Dog

We recently watched a rather disturbing movie, that warrants a mention. Kidnapping takes its vilest form as armed children in Liberia commandeer other kids to join their marauding troop. Fiction based on unbelievable fact, “Johnny Mad Dog” chronicles the atrocities of the ongoing civil war in that West African nation. The film directed by Jean-Stéphane [...]

Movie – The Half Life of Timofey Berezin (PU-239)

B0010YPT7Y.01.LZZZZZZZ

Caught the HBO trailer several months ago and missed the opportunity to watch it so had to resort to special arrangements to get it, and we have to say this is an excellent original HBO movie! Captivating film, script/screenplay and performances.The movie tells the story of a nuclear plant employee exposed to radiation. He feels [...]

Movie – District 9

Since this has been a rather long weekend (for those working in Selangor), we’ve been catching up on movie watching. Another great movie that had me gnashing my teeth and gnawing my nails was District 9. Alien beings living amongst men, in slum-like conditions, exploited and un-loved/un-wanted.. one day, a government agent’s life is changed [...]

Movie – Brüno

Photo from here and here We watched Bruno (the uncensored version) and found the show a riot! This film mainly addresses two things: America’s insatiable obsession with stardom and its perceptions/treatment of the homosexual community. The show is shallow and silly, but the actor Sacha Baron is pretty damn convincing in his role of recently [...]

Movie – Running…a better tomorrow

We were searching for something a little different to do this weekend. Having heard about the screening of the film RUNNING/BERLARI at the Annexe Gallery, Central Market, we thought this would be it. Being early, we decided we had a little bit of time on our hands for lunch, before the film started. (hmm.. which [...]
