I WIN: Halls of Horror Movie Marathon

The lucky strikes continues! This is even better than the normal Premiere Screening I've attended. Thanks Cinema Online!

This is the 2nd time I won premiere screening invites from Cinema Online. But this time even better! Its a movie marathon of Insidious followed by the premiere screening of Insidious 2. Not only that ya, dinner will be served as well as we are going to watch it at TGV 1 Utama LUXE hall. 

The unique part of it: it has Halloween theme. Hehehe. Reminded me of last year Tribal Halloween at Genting. Based from the event details, there is also a lucky draw session. Usually I'm not that lucky, but still hoping.. ahaks.

Oh ya. How I win the invites? Normally it's on Cinema Online website, but this time it's a Facebook contest. Just need to come out with creative answer for the pictures. To increase my luck, I commented 3 times. Hehehe. 2 of the comments I need to Google to get inspiration, only 1 is spontaneous. (yes, I'm very serious in entering contest)

Movie Review: The Internship at Google!

Patut atau tidak nonton movie The Internship lakonan Owen Wilson dan Vince Vaughn ni? Yay or Nay?

Thanks to ChurpChurp, once again I win 2 invitation for #Churpremiere of The Internship semalam ( 10 Sept 2013). Premiere screening bebeh! hehe. 

Okay, about the movie review. Cerita pasal 2 salesman yang tiba-tiba jobless lepas syarikat mereka bekerja ditutup. So 1 of them apply untuk jadi Intern di Google  Walaupun tak layak, tapi last2 berjaya gak diterima. Then bermula la kisah mereka untuk layak diterima bekerja full-time di Google. 

Jalan cerita is ok to me, takdela hebat sangat. SIMPLISTIC. I dont think so cara mereka pilih the interns tu betul-betul macam Google Tapi I really enjoy the movie dari mula sampai closing credit! Which is rare coz some movie ada time kita rasa macam boring or slow. Positive value pun ada dalam cerita ni, dan I appreciate cerita ni tak banyak mencarut2 to be funny.

Tahu tak Google is considered the Best Employer sebab wujudkan fun, relaxed working environment at the office? So inilah peluang untuk tengok sendiri suasana pejabat Google. Free food, nap pod, colourful bicycle, Google bus, slider in the office and lots more.

I love segmen diorang main Quidditch, especially to grab the Golden Snitch! (Yes, if you dont watch Harry Potter, you wont understand it heheh)

My Verdict: 4.5 / 5

Mood: Satisfied.

Movie Review: Pee Mak Thai Comedy Horror

Thanks to ChurpChurp for the #Churpremiere invitation of Pee Mak yesterday! OMG! OMG! This movie is definitely top of the must-watched movie for all movie-goers. 

As usual, I watched the movie with Mr. Fareed Adaboy, my faithful movie partner. Part of me wish I got the Fast & Furious 6 tickets, but I really love the fact Pee Mak premiere screening is at Midvalley. Especially when I know Sharizan & Irzad are also joining with their friends.

While waiting for the movie, Fareed & I watched the Pee Mak trailer shown nearby the counter. Alamak! I was already laughing just by watching the trailer!

And yesssssss. When we watched the movie, we are not disappointed. Seriously full of laughters from start until the end.  No wonder Pee Mak is the highest grossing horror movie in Thailand, even though this is a comedy horror. Synopsis of Pee Mak: If you know about Nang Nak, this movie is based on it. The most funny character are Shin and Puak - both with a very unique hairstyle.

Make sure you watch the movie until the credit ends. The ending was brilliantly executed and funny as hell. Pee Mak will be in cinemas from 6 June. Lucky I watched it 2 weeks earlier!

Much to our delight, GSC hired a "Nak ghost" outside. Of course everybody swarmed to take picture with her. hehehe.

My verdict: 5 out of 5!!!!

Mood: Happy giler before, during and after the movie.

Movie Review: The Last Stand

Seriously a must-watch movie. You should watch The Last Stand. Nuff said.

As usual, this is another free movie premiere screening invitation I won through ChurpChurp pulak. Went to watch #Churpremiere with Fareed Adaboyas usual at TGV One Utama yesterday. The day before, was at the same place watching #NNPremiereScreening of Mama courtesy of Nuffnang.

Synopsis of The Last Stand: a notorious yet handsome convict in a high-speed chase by the police,the FBI. Heading towards Mexico. All effort to stop him was futile due to his damn good skill driving the Corvette ZR1. Plus his superb team that knows how to break the flimsy police barricade (duhhh). The last town he need to pass thru before Mexico, is Summerton Junction-location of Sheriff Ray (Arnold Schwarznegger).

Ok la. This movie is  not that great compared to other blockbuster movie. But I find it very enjoyable. The high speed chase was nice, though I think the FBI are way too dumb.  But the jahat-ness and creativeness of the criminals- really best!

The best part? The part I personally love the most, was at Mrs. Salazar’s house!! Haha.. everybody in the cinema was laughing non-stop, we couldn’t help ourselves!! Then after that a serious moment, Dinkum was shot. But right after that, we were laughing again coz of his clanging helmet..Oh my. The best 5mins of the movie I must say.

My verdict? Recommended! I seriously enjoy the movie. I give 5 out 5 stars for The Last Stand.

 I really salute the director and the actors for being able to blend action, serious and hilariously funny altogether in the movie.

Next week, going to watch #NNPremiereScreening of Hansel & Gretel pulak. jangan jeles!

Movie Review: Mama

I’m scared of ghost and horror movies/stories. I never watch horror movies at the cinema.

But I’ve watched it 2 times because I win #NNPremiereScreening from Nuffnang. Huhu. I decided to just challenge myself, since it was free. My 1^st time: Sinister.

Sharizan with his 1st ever invitation

My 2^nd time: Mama. Aside from being a free premiere screening, I personally want to watch it coz I love Guillermo Del Toro’s work. My movie review of Mama: Beautifully scary. The sound effect, the ghost, the storyline-I love it! Eventhough I sometimes watched it behind my cardigan or closing my eyes, haha.

Just like Pan’s Labyrinth, it feels kinda like a twisted fairytale. The kids in Mama are awesomely scaring me with their act. The ending-not really a happy one. I didn’t find it surprising since Del Toro seems to prefer that type of ending.

My verdict: 4 out of 5.

Oh ya, I watched this ghost movie, with a “hantu” namely Fareed Adaboy.

Movie Review: Jack Reacher

Another premiere Screening. This time thanks to both Nuffnang and ChurpChurp. I won 2 contest. So end up winning 4 free tickets

to watch #NNPremiereScreening and #Churpremiere of Jack Reacher. hehehehe. Watch it last night dgn Fareed, Hanif and Hilmi at Tropicana City Mall. So here is my movie review of Jack Reacher yaa..

In case you didnt know, this movie is based from a novel by Lee Child, One Shot. I never read the novels, but watching this movie make me want to buy 1! An ex-army investigator trying to solve a case involving a trained military sniper who shot five random victims. 

As a mystery thriller novel lover, I enjoyed the 1st half of the movie. I felt like reading a book coz the dialogue is playing with words. You need to catch up, need to understand the mystery quickly. I'm happy to catch up with Jack Reacher's thoughts and his wise jokes.

Having said so, if your English is not that good, or you hate books, you will find the 1st half hour such a bore. Like Mr. Fareed who slept "occasionally". haha. He found it a bit berbelit-belit and talk too much.

Then when the investigation getting deeper,with more action,then only the beat picked up. Lots of shooting, action. Best!

My verdict: 4 star. This is the kind of movie yang I hope for James Patterson's novels. Sadly, all his novel adaptation failed. Sebab tu I refuse to watch Alex Cross latest movie  =(

Fareed's verdict: kepala berbintang2. haha.
And Tom Cruise still ensem.

Movie Review: Here Comes the Boom

As usual, i won another #NNPremiereScreening.

mode: berlagak tak hengat! haha. This time its for Here Comes the Boom.

Prior to watching it, I googled about it-as usual. Rotten Tomatoes rated it around 34%. Based from the review, I thought this was just another stupid funny movie. But what the heck, this is a free movie. So, why not?

Turns out, this is a really FEEL GOOD MOVIE! We enjoyed it from the very 1st minute off it! This was not just an OK movie, okeh?! hehe.

Here Comes the Boom is about a lazy biology teacher who was willing to enter Mixed-Martial Art (MMA) competition to raise fund to prevent a music teacher from being laid off.In doing so, he was beaten up pretty much in this movie.

For more Here Comes the Boom review-you can just google it. But what I can tell you, Salma Hayek and Charice are in this movie. The movie is funny. We were really laughing, clapping at some part. There was also "oohh" and "aaah" moment. Penonton hari ini sporting!

After the movie, I feel good. Puas! Which I dont feel too often after watching a movie. The verdict: YOU SHOULD WATCH IT. Highly recommended. Unless you are way too geli to watch fat guy in action. haha.

4 star. Better than Wreck It Ralph.

Movie Review: Soar into the Sun

For 1st time ever, I win ChurpPremiere Screening for Soar into the Sun. All because I didnt win the Nuffnang Premiere Screening contest. hehe.

Anuar sound bila mula2 kami amek gambar skema. so inilah hasilnya..

I met Anuar and Daniel there too. My team mate during with Nuffnang Genting Evangelist: Tribal Halloween event last weekend. Juga nampak Mira and Jeff.

Ok. bout the movie. I already read from online review and Rotten Tomatoes beforehand. So already expecting a so-so movie. I mainly watch this coz of Rain.hehehe..

The movie was actually better than my expectation, I a expecting lot worst. But still this movie is not great. The plot is jumpy. Here and there.

So my verdict? if you want to watch it at the cinema, go on Wednesday.

Backpackers Buddies Berjimba Ria di Midvalley

Fuh! The best edition of Berjimba Ria with Backpackers Buddies Malaysia on Sunday.
Selalunya join TT with geng Backpackers Buddies Malaysia (BBM) kat Shah Alam.

Tiba-tiba je Jumaat lepas saje ajak Cik Puan Sri Lanang untuk tengok movie kat Midvalley.

Sebab now ade promo Buy 1 Free 1 GSC ticket for VISA cardholder for online purchase. Sah-sah la guna BIG card as term of payment.haha.

Then ajak Edy and Azran join. Then si Ayien, Zaffirin and Adree. But yg tgk wayang aku, Lanang & Edy. Ayienz cancelled coz ade hal and Zaffirin tak sampai2..huhu

Bila dah berempat-mula la pening nak pilih movie apa.. Lepas pilih punya pilih- kitorang tgk "How I Spent My Summer". Fullamak! Best muvi tu.  Enjoy and gelak2 kitorg. Salah satu ayatku "macam area backpackers aje penjara ni". hehehehe.

Dah puas hati tengok movie, bergerak ke Manhattan Fish Market. Aku & Edy tak penah masuk, so main blasah je order. Inilah aksi2 aktiviti Berjimba Ria di Manhattan Fish Market Mivalley:

Azran sampai untuk join lunch. Adree+wife+Junior datang around 5pm.. Kami lepak Manhattan Fish Market macam kat mamak. Giler bising and duduk lama..ehehehehe. But topik perbincangan berjalan jugak. Mostly diskus with Edy pasal Bangkok, Laos dan errrr.. Tajima. Aduii.

 Darwish seperti biasa mencuri tumpuan. Waiter and waitress semua ngorat dia. 2 waitress dukung dia. Ni salah sorangnya:

 Dan lepas buat Manhattan Fish Market tu macam kedai mamak selama 3 jam, kami kuar naik atas main game. Adree's family balik dulu. wuuhuu..1st time seh main game kat sini. Edy terer main game Nelayan Tangkap Ikan..ahaks.. Dan 1 sesi, kami terpaku melihat amoi kiut menari-nari dengan seluar berpoket Usagi..

7:10 pm,aku plak beransur tgk my 2nd movie. Mereka masih di situ.

Kesimpulannya: SYIOK! Nak buat lagi activity Berjimba-ria ni. berdua pun takpe. Jom!
