    Just finished Role Models, and lo and behold, I’m smiling. Really, this movie has surpassed what ever expectations (or the lack thereof) I had for it. Story’s simple. 2 co-workers, Wheeler (Seann William Scott) and Danny (Paul Rudd) was forced to do 150 hours of community service as mentors to 2 problematic kids. Wheeler got…

    There is never a moment that I was proud enough to watch any movie, that I watch it thoroughly, even to the point reading the end credits. Not until last Saturday, after I watched Geng: Pengembaraan Bermula (Geng). And I was not kidding about reading the end credits. The whole freaking end credits. And I…

    I’ve done some reviews of Afdlin Shauki‘s movies before this, and I have noticed some things that the movies may have lacked, that made it less perfect than what it should be. Los dan Faun (LDF), Afdlin‘s latest offerring, tries to tackle all those issues, and boy am I proud to say that in most department,…

    Several weeks ago, Maybank’s web front, Maybank2u, has started to implement a facelift. This is a welcome change, since the old design was already bloated with unnecessary Flashes, GIFs, and advertisements. But then at that time, only the front page, and the public pages (those not requiring any login) have been changed. Those pages within…

    Chow Yuen Fatt introduced the jump-sideways-and-shoot-with-a-gun-in-each-hands-in-slow-motion to Hollywood, and everybody says it was cool, if not over-the-top. The Matrix introduced bullet time, and every other movie tries to use it every now and then. Then Max Payne (the game) enables users to (sort of) experience both Chow Yuen Fatt skills and Bullet Time in a…

    After writing the review for Eagle Eye, I realised that I missed the movie that showed Shia LeBeouf the door to international stardom. I won’t get into details, since this is a 2007 movie. Disturbia is a simple movie about a simple boy who lost his father in a freak accident, thus causing him to…

    After 4 failed attempts of getting a movie buddy to watch this movie, I resorted to watch it alone. In my office attire. And lugging my office brick laptop along. This movie will go down in my bad memories movie list, together with Die Hard 4.0. Okay, enough about me. This movie is a very…

    I had very low expectation for this movie. The only reason I went to watch it at the cinema was because my colleagues want to watch movies, and the other choice is Mamma Mia! The trailer reminds me of Legally Blonde, and Anna Faris looked horrible in it. She somehow reminds me of Pamela Anderson…

    I’m scared. This is reported almost on a daily basis. statistically, I’d say once a week or at least twice in a month. All in our beloved country. And reading it just after watching In The Company Of Men, just made it worst. If you haven’t watched this masterpiece, then read this. I’d make a…

    I don’t know if this is what Steve Conrad (The Pursuit of Happiness, The Weather Man) had in mind when he wrote and directed The Promotion, but I am feeling bad after watching the movie. I never thought after growing up watching Sean William Scott as Stiffler in the American Pie series, I would be touched…
