PARENTAL GUIDE FOR DORIAN GRAY.
why?
because there'll be soooooooooo many scenes that will be cut until there's no more movie.
its a dark piece, this movie. reminds me of sweeney todd, but none of the musical stuff. it potrays young dorian gray who arrived in london, very naive, n ended abusing his physical self, well, because nothing will happen since its gonna be transferred to the painting. n the painting was as ugly as what u can imagine, with maggots crawling out of the face. eurgghh. add up a few killing scenes, n that quite sums it up nicely. but the thing is, scenes about him abusing himself also included having sex with different partners, in orgies, women in brothels, a girl who just came of age, then her mother(??!!), ANNNNDDD..
the man who painted him.
gross. i know. now came me being prejudice. all sorts of questions came into mind. why do they have to put this scene in? is this scene (man with man thing) originally written in the book by oscar wilde, who, by the way, was gay?
conclusion: must read the book. to get the truth i mean, not for the saucy parts laaaahhh. but i don't know how on earth can i get my hands on it, since the original was published in 1890, as the only book published by oscar wilde (others were all short stories).
edited: there's (should be!!!) penguin classics version of this!! how can i forget about it! but of course, i'd expect there's nothing raunchy ;)
for more info, please refer to PARENTS' GUIDE FOR DORIAN GRAY.

Wake up and smell the coffee!! Oh wait. I don't drink coffee. Smell the chocolate!!
Oh well. Takpe, rasa mcm baru kawin dua bulan lepas. Hahahaha.. Still manja, still nakal, still suka usik, and still and still and still. Badan je tak nampak macam time baru lepas dua bulan kawin. What to do... a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.
*trim rambut
*thread brows
*beli groceries!
*survey handphone baru - tolong la jgn mati tak tentu pasal lagi sayang oi, aku tak larat nak maki
*start thinking what to buy for hariz's birthday started but haven’t decided. HOW???!!
*pegi tgk avatar and sherlock holmes cepat!!
oh yeah, we attempted to watch the traveller's wife over the last weekend, but to no avail. i dunno, but its really not my cup of tea. we could concentrate, like, for the first 45 minutes i guess? after that hariz slipped into dreamland, n me, happy to find the pc was left alone (yeay!!!)
started twiddledee-twiddledum in front of it.
n the tv was left to watch hariz sleeping :)
maybe when i'm in a soppier mood, i'll try n drag hariz along to watch it. try again next time, anis!
had partial movie marathon last night. baru nak tengok aliens in the attic dengan cloudy with chances of meatballs. both warranted a few more rounds of rewatching. very entertaining!
up next: inglourious basterds, dorian gray, and night at the museum 2!

of whispering wind and striding cloud

1. went to subang parade while waiting hariz balik keja. bump into a senior colleague who went:
anis ni kalo jumpa je asyik siap bermekap. my impression sllunya mak datin je yg rajin p mekap2 kat counter ni. anis nak jadi datin ke?
assumption paling pelik penah aku dengar. ada je kengkawan aku rajin p beauty counter tp bukan datin punnn...
2. hubster balik keja sabtu malam dan buat muka terkejut bahawa bini kesayangan dia telah mengemas rumah persis org nak datang melawat. selalu mesti nak tunggu dia buat sama2, katanya. ok fine lain kali i'll wait :D
3. terlupa ada invitation openhouse on sunday. instead, p berdating dengan jayanya berdua. tengok surrogates. ok la, mcm sci-fi lain. tp ending dia membuatkan aku pk, 'huh, dah abis?'
balik umah mengadap pulak taking of pelham 123 sambil makan aunty anne's pretzels and vienna bagels (gila banyak makan!). pun dapat reaksi sama dari aku.
huh, dah abis?
tp denzel washington tetap hot di hatiku. saw screening of the book of eli, i want i want i want!!!
4. sangat kecewa sandal yg disukai hanya tinggal yg display, dan ada sedikit flaw yg menyebabkan hariz was against me taking it. sudahnya, malam2 mimpi2. sedih.
kecewaaaaaa!!!

that is precisely why i never finished watching maverick, n tonight, for the first time, baru nak tgk gladiator. but as i watched commodus smothering his father the caesar in his embrace, i think i know, i'll never finish watching it, as with maverick.
nothing, i mean nothing, can make me watch movies with sad endings till the end. especially if the storyline is all sad and soppy. call me a dreamer if u will, but i believe in happy endings.
the same thing goes with public enemy. masa tengok gazette dia teringin sangat nak tgk johnny depp pakai trench coat. but the minute i know he dies in the movie, CANCEL.
sentap la cmni. baik tengok kabhi kushi kabhi gham.

harry potter the review
marwan: boring ah, org siap tidoq2
shuhada: i told you all my friends said tak best but i juz want to see it.
hariz: tu lah, ingat ke ada byk lawan2, last2 mati cmtu je??!!
as for me, here's what i think:
no doubt when the reviewers said its a filler, it is a filler. but then again if ur a harry potter fan u'd know that the story is like that albeit all the embellishment in the movie. i do know that, n juz went with the flow. its juz that its disappointing to see the climax turned out to be soo anticlimactic. i imagined a lot of emphasis would be on the fighting scene in hogwarts, as with the book. ni habok pun tarak. si dumbledore tu mati kering je last2.
n another thing that made me pissed was all the story about horcruxes. abis tunggang terbalik. dumbledore is a wise man, he's SUPPOSED to know. ni like, baru la sibuk nak tau. kesian la. nampak cam x bijak. not the dumbledore i came to know from the book.
the saver, i say, would be ron. kalo tak... hmm.. habis la..

ni lah padahnya kalo lepas keja asek p berdating x balik2 rumah sampai tengah malam. we did three things in a go yesterday:
1. went to visit ayah cu (hariz's great-uncle) in PPUM. i think PPUM did a great job feeding him, his face looked fuller than when we last saw him at his daughter (hariz's auntie, but about our age)'s wedding. since hariz puasa, we made our move juz before azan, siap dapat bekal. klakar, org sakit yg bagi bekal kat org melawat :)
2. we headed straight to midvalley for a movie date. org len sibuk nak tgk harry potter, dok ligan dia punya premier night, we juz went sashaying in dgn sorg pakai long sleeve shirt and pants, sorg lagi baju kurung batik and bought ice age 3 3D tics. nampak sgt baru balik keja.
my verdict for the movie, 4 thumbs up!! adding in new characters didnt crowd the movie, but rather enhanced it. awek scrat sangat sexy dengan ekor nampak fluffy gila bila di-3Dkan, buck yg gila pgg batu seketul kat telinga konon2 ckp kat tpon. peaches, anak manny dgn eli comel gilaaaa!!
3. while waiting for the movie, hariz iftar kat carl's jr. fries dia the best everrr!! dgn perut yg masih tamak we headed down to krispy kreme for our original glaze fix. betul la org kata, kat sini agak biasa ori glaze tu. i remembered the first time i tried it years before in jakarta, sinking my teeth into the donut, mmmmhhhhh..... orgasmic gilaaa!! n no, the one i tasted yesterday, nope, definitely not the same. dunno why though.
our verdict: 2 thumbs down. sedih. nampak gaya mmg kena p outside malaysia to have those glazed donuts

joining hugh jackman's swoonfest!
no matter no matter. dah tgk wolverine!!! weeeehhhoooo!! one down, dozens more to go :D
hugh jackman is seriously one hot married fella
hmm.. now that i think of it, we might be better off with seats kat depan
ok ok i know. pervert!!! but with hugh jackman all is forgiven ;D
the movie is like an enlightening story of how wolverine becomes wolverine. well forgive me but i do love history. hahaha.. but for comic lovers like hubbs, he was like a bit tak suka la how a character differs from the comic.
the only down side for me though, logan's brother, victor (who later becomes sabertooth) were supposed to be very menacing n inhumane but his face is so similar to will farrell (a comedian, if u must know) n i juz couldnt take it.
sapa nak tgk hugh jackman's rippling, tanned muscles
pegi pegi pegi tengok!!!

MAY MOVIES, COMING UP
first up, xmen origins: wolverine!
the character dah memang sangat interesting, the fact that its hugh jackman makes it even more interesting! he's one of the yummiest married man on earth! *drool drool*

tapi kejap, dia due 29th april ke 1st may? whatever it is i have to come back to malaysia first then only can watch ehehe
coming right after on may 8th is star trek. now i'm not exactly a fan of star trek series, that i admit, tapi when i saw the gazette macam menarik sangat, plus hariz looks excited about it so i'm positive we're gonna go and watch it

n by the way, that, on the poster, is eric bana. ok. i'll definitely watch this.
then the next week, coming up next is angels and demons on may 15th. well i've read the novel a few times already, n every time i'm amazed with its ambigram calligraphy yang sangat lawa. i wonder how they'll make the five brands in the movie.


ok. now. four movies in a month?
tickets : rm 13 x 2 x 4 = rm104
popcorn + drinks : rm10 x 4 = rm40
shopping2 sebab every weekend pegi shopping complex = ????
oh well. that, is depressing.
no matter. yang penting happy! :D

paul walker ku sudah berkedut
saturday
didnt go anywhere but i have my sis around so xde la sangap. cooked lunch together. i made everybody substitute rice with wholemeal bread. hahaha. dont blame me i juz asked n they agreed. makan dengan my
had the wimax guy come over to check whether our house can get reception. u see, although my place is in kota damansara, n iklan wimax tu besar2 tulis WIMAX IS NOW IN KOTA DAMANSARA, apparently it doesnt cover everywhere in kota damansara. it juz cover up to jalan 11/11. my place is 11/14. duh. everytime tanya kat booth dia kata x cover lagi. luckily some agent left the pamphlets at the clubhouse n hariz tanya dia our block boleh dapat signal x. dia kata lets check, rasanya boleh green lah signal nya. guy came to check, GREEN!!! yeay! finally ada internet kat umah.
sunday
had some peeps over to our house. we invited our clasmates masa uitm pj dulu. had to do it in batches since umah agak2 boleh runtuh kalo ajak lebih 15 orang. girls sabar ye, nnti when me n hariz have a free weekend we'll hold another makan2 ok..
aku masak semuanya sorg2, so far xde org mangadu cer ber ke hape so line clear ok jangan risau. adik aku x kuar bilik langsung dari aku start masak, org first sampai, until org last balik.
dah lama aku x masak untuk ramai org, best jugak. kat sp je masak banyak2, satu umah spuloh org lah katakan. i think its one of the very few housechores that i like to do. nama pun pemalas..
monday
lama gila x keluar dating!!!! maka sempat la p bercinta shopping moping bagai harta2 baru, n tgk midnight the fast and the furious 4. its good i tell u. tgk la kat wayang since sound system sgt masyuk.
it features the orginal cast of the fast and the furious, n dia ada hala tuju, not like fastnfurious 2, so best lah. walaupun paul walker masih rupa keanak-anakan tapi sudah ada kedut2 org tua. yg tu nampak la. yg len semua best. sampai over2 siap, muka kena tumbuk pun bunyi kebabom hebat gila sampai mcm x percaya tu juz muka kena tumbuk bukan keta meletup hahaha. tapi tu sbb gsc one utama cinema besar mmg sound system best gila kut maka semua dgr best hehehe
tgk ok jgn x tgk

mata bengkak akibat x cukup tido, muka sembab sebab banyak minum air tengah malam.
hampeh.
xpe, at least i'm happy! :D
tootsss!!

slumdog millionnaire (updated)
to be honest with u i havent watched the movie. janji dgn hariz after dinner semalam nak tengok sama-sama, but after kemas dapur, basuh baju (ceh mcm penat pakai mesin auto) unpack barang dari kedah, n pack pulak barang nak p subang, left me tergolek atas katil before long.

but the BOOK. lambat skit nak review. i've read it last week. ok lah, sedap la jugak. aku mampu abiskan dalam 3 hours cmtu. buku ni pasal a boy named Ram Mohammad Thomas, left in a church when he was a baby. He was raised in the church by a Father, and having the Hindu and Muslim society query-ing about he raising a Hindu / Muslim boy (who knows anyway?) as a Christian, he ended up giving the boy a name of the three religions. every chapter depicts how he managed to answer a certain valued question in W3B.
the book tells his adventure in the slums,
-befriending Salim at the church, whose parents were killed in a mob, n share his passion towards Armaan Ali, a Bollywood actor,
-as a housekeeper to then Bollywood star Neelima Kumari,n how she ended up killing herself,
-'adopted' by Maman, who turned out a gangster who train children to beg for money, n running away from him,
- housekeeping for a contract killer named Ahmad Khan, n ended up substituting a picture of a film director who's grooming Salim to be an actor to that of Maman's for Ahmad to kill.
finally he went to Agra and bacame a tourist guide for Taj Mahal, befriended Shankar, an autistic child to his landlady, and fell in love with Nita, a prostitute.
at the second last chapter of the book i was told of the very reason why Ram/Mohammad/Thomas entered the game show in the first place - he only want to have revenge. the host, Prem Kumar, was Neelima Kumari's lover and had physically abused her and tortured her with cigarette butts and she ended with lots of cigarette burns all over her including her breasts. and then Nita, the prostitute, was hospitalised after meeting a client. when he saw that same burn marks on Nita's breasts, he knew it was the same person who did that to his Nita.
i cant compare with the movie, sbb as i said, i havent watched. nanti dah tgk aku bagitau. but from what i Wiki-ed, the book is somewhat different from the movie. bukan somewhat lagi dah, sangat jugak lah. nak tengok!
hariz dah pack dvd skali dlm barang, malam ni buleh tgk movie di subang! yeay!
update:
movie dia, ok, wow. sgt different lah. btl lah peon, simplified oredi. ada satu je soalan yg sama dgn buku, n the flashback matched. yg lain, semua lain ok. xde amitabh bachchan, xde soalan cricket, three musketeers lagi la xde.
i can appreciate both versions. mcm nasik lemak dan nasik goreng. dua2 nasik. tapi dua2 sodap jo :D

ghost town
its about a dentist named bertram pincus who gained sight of the dead ppl after died for 7 minutes during colonoscopy. ghosts of new york began to pester him, asking him to finish their unfinished business. but being a jerk that he is, he ignored them. until he met frank, a ghost who asked him to help break up engagement between his widow and a lawyer.
pincus managed to worm his way to gwen (the widow)'s heart, n started falling for her, but he sees that the lawyer, richard, seems like a good man, so he vowed not to mess with their relationship. but then, gwen broke up jugak dgn richard.
dah break up, frank wonders why dia still on earth, since he thought richard was his unfinished business. then gwen found out that pincus knew some things about frank that is very personal, n then she didnt believe the whole ghost story that pincus told her.
finally, pincus realised that frank was still earthbound bcoz gwen cant let him go(since she found out that frank was having an affair b4 he's dead), n went to tell her. but she still didnt believe pincus. in that scene, pincus was ran over by a bus (like how frank died). frank told pincus the only dream that he had, that he only told gwen, as a proof if he was revived.
and pincus was saved. when he told gwen the dream, gwen finally believed him, n that frank had finally found his way home.
i love happy endings. hehehe..
what i like even better, great movie soundtrack. like this one, the heart of life by john mayer. enjoy!

bebel
mana la cik siti x montel mcm cik ti ekoq panjang tuh.... tp ada jugak cik ti yg kurus, kan kan kan..
dah la mkn nasik siang malam, mengular plk tuh. dok tgk cerita kat umah. aku dan hariz rasa cerita benjamin button tu bosan. tp x tau la. maybe jgk sbb masa tu aku sibuk telek katalog ikea(utk sekian kalinya), dan hariz lalok mkn actifed, maka kami x concentrate, dan maka lagi, xbest cerita tu jadinya. does it warrant a second chance?
tgk la. kalo sempat.
setelah di postpone sgggtttt la lama, baru tgk mamma mia. kesimpulan yg aku blh buat, laki hensem sllunya suara x sedap. contoh, pierce brosnan. enough said.
tgk max payne. pun bosan. no wonder aku baca review the movie's a pain. but anyway, first few minutes tu aku dah rasa bosan, sempat la sambil2 tu bloghopping, maka x concentrate jugak.
nak tgk underworld x dapat. masa opening night dia kat pyramid tu we had to park at the roof, which never happened b4. sllunya plg tinggi kena naik pun CP6 yg xsampai spuloh pun org park. ni CP7 pun kena round dua kali. gila. tunggu lepas pindah ah tgk.
pengajaran. nak p pyramid sila park kat basement. lagi senang nk carik parking.
sure korg bosan, aku ckp nak pindah berkurun2 dah, tp x pindah lagi kan? aku pun malas nak ckp pasal tu. dont ask. its complicated. tp tetap akan pindah.
baru pack baju je!! pinggan mangkuk sofa katil segala blmmm!!! panic!!
