Wayang Raya 2

Catatan ini untuk review movies yang dah aku tonton sepanjang hari ni.

I’ve traveled quite far today: starting from the supernatural world to the land of the dead, then to the apartment of the not quite dead and end up, finally, at a beauty saloon. Boleh teka apa cerita yang aku dah tengok? Okay, let’s see if you’ve guessed right.

Aku masuk panggung pukul 11.00 pagi, siap buat zone bagai untuk persediaan. Almaklumlah, kisah benar and I can truly testify to that though no solid proof. ‘The Exorcism of Emily Rose’ is an exciting blend of suspense, horror and wit. Ia tidak bergantung kepada elemen takut dan saspen semata-mata. We’ll also be mentally stimulated by the courtroom sparring. Pada pendapat aku, in the end, setan gak yang menang sebab buat orang dewakan si Emily Rose dan menguatkan lagi keyakinan orang kepada tuhan mereka. What do you think?

Next show pukul 2.10 petang: ‘The Corpse Bride’. Can’t really comment much on this one sebab aku masih nervous lepas tengok cerita Emily Rose tadi so tak dapat nak appreciate dan concentrate pada keajaiban alam barzakh yang digambarkan oleh Tim Burton (walaupun kelakar dan very interesting).

Lagipun, aku asyik jaga time sebab movie ni patut habis pukul 3.30 petang tapi dah overshoot 5 minit (sebab iklan berlambak le… apa lagi?). Patutnya aku dah pindah ke Cinema 7 untuk tengok ‘Just Like Heaven’! Nasib baik sempat dan tak miss apa-apa crucial points. Seronok gak citer romantic comedy ni. A very enjoyable no brainer.

Cerita ‘Salon’ ditayang pada pukul 7.40 malam. I enjoyed it immensely. It’s an atypical Malaysian movie that tells about life as it is. It shows you how complicated life really is: no black and white here, just different shades of gray. But it also gives you hope that things will turn out better if you work at it. If you want to be happy, then work for it. Just don’t expect smooth sailing all the way, deal with the stumbling blocks life has put in your way one at a time, work towards your goal and you’ll be fine.

Learned quite a lot today from these movies. Actually, more of a reminder but we as humans forget too easily and it’s good to give ourselves a kick in the a** once in a while so that we’ll remember.
