Oi, Daniel!! Apa hal dengan blog ini? Projek Terbengkalai?

AnnaSophia Robb is cute.

Race to Witch Mountain.

So, it's me (Syafiq Audi, for those who don't know). I'm back for a week or so, gaining access to a computer in the meanwhile. So, this holiday, I was hoping that I could cure this sickening movie deprivation of mine by watching Pink Panther 2, Watchmen or maybe Coraline. Alas, none of those are accessible to me as Pink Panther 2 and Coraline has long passed their show times, and I am apparently too young to watch Watchmen. I'm 16!! How am I any less mature than an average 18 year old doofus!! Plus, knowing the Malaysian Censorship Board, they would have edited out the 'stuff' in spite of the ratings.

Anyway, in line of our probably-last-time-to-hang-out for another two months, my brothers took me to a late night showing of the movie Race to Witch Mountain, at Jusco in Permatang Pauh. At first, it felt somehow determined that we are watching Dragonball Evolution that night, but through some precognition that we wouldn't like it (have you read the reviews!!), we did a last minute change, to Race to Witch Mountain. So, I'm going to keep it simple, seeing how this movie is pretty simple, straightforward and quite silly to be honest. 

.......Let me start of with this. It is a family film. I think, if your vision of a family is two parents accompanying their 7 seven year old boy named Johnny and a 6 year old daughter named Susie, then this movie is perhaps the most procedural 'dead-on' film. It has two cute teenagers, each with their own special powers(but maybe due to the excessive exposure to heroes, it didn't feel special at all. but that is entirely my problem), accompanied by a seemingly reluctant 'father-figure' on a pseudo-epic mission and...oh! all those little quips that may have been intended as jokes. It has all the recipe for a good family film. Nice girl, suspicious boy, caring dude, evil government, and a minor character that cracks jokes for every 3 seconds he is in the movie. It actually makes up for a nice time at the cinema.

But if your family is made up of five males that have seen movies that far better satisfied their own ruminations on life, this movie is bland. Dwayne Johnson was neither funny nor endearing. He was..script dependent. And that's not good considering the script is not so good. AnnaSophia Robb ( I can't believe I'm saying this) looked idiotic. Most of the time, she stood there and having this ridiculous wide-eyed look in her. When she speaks, it is as if she's dying to finish every sentence. She was far, far better in Bridge to Terabithia. The boy whose name I couldn't remember, was about the same. I don't know if it is the character, but both he and AnnaSophia Robb was boring (so much so my brother couldn't resist making pedophilic comments to make our time there more colourful).

So, from me, a 5.5/10..

See how simple I am keeping this?

LessOn 1! `Take A chance On life......

Laugh all you want at Sylvester Stallone, but if there's one movie he did right, it's Rocky, the first one in the series. Written by Stallone, this inspirational Oscar-Winning tale is about small-time, working class boxer Rocky Balboa. Stuck in a rut and not particularly smart, he's nevertherless very likeable. And the way he pursues Adrian(Talia Shire), the girl he likes, is just cute!
Rocky gets his big break, a chance of alifetime, really, when he is picked to fight world heavweight boxing champ Apollo Creed(Carl Weathers). The underdog going in for the big fight, his preparation is truly inspirational. Rocky doesn't even win the bout in the end, but he grabbed the chance he was given with everything he had, and that makes him a winner.......

So take this Lesson..
Watch more movies...

No.1..WALL E...
Imagine the earth 800 years from now? The trash is skycrapper-high, filled with non-necessities money can buy! Earth is ours to cherish let's not count on fleet of wall-e's to clean up after us.

NO.2...
Yup... slumdog millionare it is....
This is a story about an improverished indian boy, Jamal (Dev Patel) who wins big time on a TV contest, proving that if you pay attention to your life, you may just get lucky.

N0.3...One of my favourite... The Curious case of Benjamin Button.
Born as an old man and ages young, Benjamin Button's(bradd pitt) life challenges our beliefs on time and order. You'll learn to cherish every second of your life.

As for No.4 ..MILK
Gay Rights icon Harvey Milk(Sean Penn) teaches us the importance of having courage to be true to yourself! The movie is a powerful reminder that things we take for granted today is because someone fought hard to open narrow hearts and minds!
