Amaran tsunami semalam buat keadaan Tawau huru-hara sekejap (aku nak tidur pun susah sebab jiran2 semua sibuk buat bising). Bukan aku tak takut, bukan tak nak ambil kisah (sapa tak takut mati lemas kan?) tapi bagi aku, bagi bapa aku juga, kami tak nak ter'over' panic sampai kelam-kabut, tersadung kaki kerusi, jatuh pastu lebam kepala; atau kelam-kabut, tersadung kaki, lepas tu jatuh tangga; ataupun ... well, you get the idea...

"Still praying for shelter from the storm..."

Huh?

Been watching & collecting movies and series over the internet. but my point of interest among all that i've collected & watched was a movie by Andrew Niccol (of Gattaca, The Truman Show and s1m0ne) - Lord Of War

the plot, the story and above all the actors (nicolas cage, jared leto, ethan hawke, and a lot of africans) & actresses really nailed their part nicely. fits exactly in place just like a con... i mean a glove.

Baptiste Jr.: Can you bring me the gun of Rambo?
Yuri: Part One, Two, or Three?
Baptiste Jr.: I've only seen Part One.
Yuri: Ah the M-60, would you like armor piercing bullets with that?
Baptiste Jr.: Yes, Please.

the script is almost all quotable quotes - nicely done! cage was all full of sarcastic+mellow+heroic as always. leto was convincing, hawke was persuasive and the africans - they played along perfectly. so, all and all, its a mixture of a very delicious "not-so-dramatic-but-not-so-slow" movie.

i'm not very into slasher films genre. watched "Freddy vs Jason" yesterday & i personally think it's a dumb movie. really. i mean, what's the point of that movie anyway? the storyline sucks big time, Freddy Krueger is quite convincing but that about it, Jason Voorhees did his part in slashing and cutting people in half but that just about it also. so... the movie sucks! period.

Eragon was nice. Made me remember the fantasy trilogy of all time (LOTR). This movie landed just a bit behind. Jeremy Irons and John Malkovich (why do you guys always end up together?) played a nice Yin and Yang (like Vader and Kenobi), the female dragon Saphira (didn't knew it was Rachel Weisz's voice - no wonder the accent!), the flying scene with the dragon sight, the fight in the air made me 'WOW'ed a bit.

Last entry (saved this one for last), is HEROES. It's like an X-Men series only more street style. Last episode in my possession right now is ep.11. Can't wait for next monday (22/1) for the next episode.

made me hungry typing this... longest review i've made so far about movies. well, i'm gonna relax my butt for a bit. adios...
