Step Up 2 : The Street

March 11th, 2008 by otyng-0416

Step_up_two

Beyond the well response of Step Up, they come back for the 2.

Due to the impression of Step Up, I was highly expect it this time.
Its disappoint me.

Recap/refreshment for Step Up base on my memory.
The combination of Ballet and Break Dance in once.
The love story between Ballet teacher and a hip-hop dancer/’prisoner’.
The scene when a group of friends dancing in the pub together, is cool!
The music of the film is impressive as well as it is the most do not miss part for the film.
The plots is well organized, creative, high  approached.
Its a romantic yet dancing movie.
*Sorry if there are over-praising for the 1st.

The Street.
I did not get any surprise only when they are dancing.
The part when they are looking for the weird people for grouping, I think it was interesting.
It have girl with accent, braced guy, weird attitude and etc. All of them bring a lot of funny stuffs.
Its like in a society, it would be all of them are same in any way. There should be something out of expectation or out of control.
Some of them are weird but they are talented in certain part.
The storyline is cliches as is a teenager was kicked by school, guardian do not accept her, back to school, some conflicts, then group with same interested people and fight for their ambition. Everything come with no exciting point except for the dancing part.

They did a lot of risky  movements, it might be only for me? As is I totally do not know how to dance but I really like to watch dancing film.
But I was not giving good impression for ‘Stomp the Yard’ because it gave me serious yet not relax kind of feel when I was watching although it is also a dancing film.

One of the message they import is they could post their own made video and upload it then become famous.

The actor is smart and the actress is pretty. Although it does not change the story arrangement but it works for the enhancement meaning it does not look worst if they are having lousy actors.

But, they are talented.

I am not regret to watch this film of its dancing moments.

I would rated it as worth-to-watch movie even you should go in to cinema for it.

Are you going to watch for 2nd time? Yes!

Sweeney Todd

January 30th, 2008 by otyng-0416

A long waiting movie…
when I know this…
Johnny Depp…Tim Burton..
alright, I want to..I have to..I must watch this…
Sweeney Todd…
I don’t care about the awards or how many awards that got by this…
frankly..Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are the drivers for me to watch this..
Before watching: I rated it as ‘U’.. everybody should watch it…
After watching: This is only suitable for those who like horror film…hehehe…

Base on my knowledge (common sense)
Tim Burton,
An auteur director.
Gothic style is the main focus of almost of his films that he had produced.
(Nightmare before Christmas, Corpse Bride…)
Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are his favourite actor and actress.
(Charlie Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride)

Actually I know Tim Burton when he was releasing one of his movie <Big Fish>
That was introduced by my bro.
At that time, I was not really watch movie that often and I not even able to recognise the film director.
<Big Fish> is describing the relationship between father and son.
Tim used a lot of cartoon-ish elements..like funfair, colorful scenes, static but artistic that seems like for children.
I like <Big Fish> as well.

After <Big Fish>,I had watch <Charlie and the Chocolate Factory> and <Corpse Bride>
those I watched from DVD and not cinema..hehe…
The style always seems like is make for kids, but it included the hidden meaning that we do not know if we did not explore it.
like <Charlie..>, it was meant to be critic those kids are become realistic in the current society.
It was well packaged that even we did not know Tim is bringing out this message.

Sweeney Todd,
before watching i just read the basic storyline like
he is looking for his wife
the pie shop owner had lied to him actually his wife is still alive
thats it..
add one more from my friend before entering into cinema
it is a musical movie.

As not surprising…
it was start as what I thought..
Gothic..her wife lost and etc…
everything was arranged nicely…
I was thinking that lack of lighting is still able to produce a good film..
hahaha..what a innocent me…
it has the meaning of dark in this film…
i have to reveal this…
every single frame is just nice to be a wallpaper…
in short, u can pause in any second and save it as a picture…
all frames are just nice and artistic enough…
please do not be misunderstanding…
this is not a romance movie…but…it is a horror artistic film that I ever watch
I do not even know this is a horror film until Sweeney Todd and Mrs.Lovette’s are making the pie from the human…its disguising!!
every razor is so damn cruel…
it showed like what the crime movie did…
and even showed the dropping the corpse from top to bottom…
the brain was spread widely…ish!!
I think there is a meaningful scene that tell us…
the characteristics of the society…
like priests’ meat are nice because they are kind…
lawyer’s meat not really nice because their thinking not that good and so on..

One of the colorful scene is when Mrs.Lovette imagine that she is going to live together with Sweeney and Toby…
only that part I can see the other colours…
the rest are…black..grey..blue…

I like the concept that he wants to open a barber shop that to kill the judge that had caught his daughter and wife couple of years before.
He was being famous after he had beaten a barber on the street.
(In this scene, the barber is keep singing and boosting that he is a best barber and so on…it was so irritating) and Sweeney Todd was sharpen his razor and use seconds to complete the shaving.
I notice this, a equipped people doesn’t need to boost…it needs to show it…
When Sweeney become famous, the judge visit to his shop…
this is a great chance to kill him…
but…
when Sweeney Todd ‘duet’ with him and placing the razor on the neck…
my godness! It was like watching an horror drama and even being anxious than it..
In this time he failed to kill him..

Before the arriving of Sweeney Todd, Mrs.Lovett’s meat shop’s meat is made by cat meat…it was the worst pie shop in London…
after the source is from human…their business is being well…

I still able to accept he had killed all of them..
although they are innocent (I don’t have criminal mind..hehe)
when he was killed his wife..oh gosh..I felt like…
he had killed his hope by his own…I really cant accept it!!
Its cruel…until this I only will consider him as seriously damn evil!! (although before that he already is)

In the ending,
when he knows that he was killing his wife accidentally…
when Toby know the pie is made by human…
Sweeney is trying to kill Toby…but he failed
but lastly Toby was killed him when he is hugging his wife’s corpse
when Sweeney Todd knows that Mrs.Lovett is lying to him…
he is killing him in surprising way…is kind of funny
he is dancing with him in peacefully but suddenly he was throwing her to the oven…
my godness!!

I suggest that Hollywood can produce
<Sweeney Todd:Toby’s meat shop> (or anyone can think a better name)
the reason is Toby killed Sweeney and he can be (potential to be)the next of Sweeney..hahaha…
the story of Johana(Sweeney Todd’s daughter) and Anthony are supposed to be revealed…
in facts, Johana knows Sweeney is his father but Sweeney is nearly kill her but luckily he did not (sweat~)…this is what I discover the kindness of him (only this).

As overall I like this film…
inspects of the artistic, the storytelling and the surprises…
and..
it makes me wana collect all of Tim Burton’s movie..(jz hv this kind of thinking)

Something I’m not going to say:

Happy 2008~

December 31st, 2007 by otyng-0416

To all:
Happy 2008.
Thanks for reading my 1st blog in 2008.

Let’s share my minutes b4 07 to 08.
31st..I thought I was going to pass my new year maybe by sleeping or watching my bunch of shows..haha..unfortunately, I failed to do so.
That means, I got a quite memorable  minutes to 08.
A spontaneous date with MR.LWC. We had been to KLCC to  be surrounded by mostly Malay. Before that, we had our dinner at K Restaurant 1 hour plus…
Then, we were heading to out of the building and awaiting for the moments to 08 by walking here and there.
Before counting down, the rain had joint us for a while and stop and came again.
It still alright then rather than heavy rain or sweating. The crowd was being spread by the rain and we just follow them to walk around.
At last, we back to the same place as nearby the main road.
Small  episode:
A group of Malay playing fireworks?fighting? I don’t know what are they trying to do. Just to be crazy?
I just saw some violence and like involving some foreigners. But they did not fight. I think the foreigners just passing by and unluckily involving what did the Malay did. I think it was crazy,ridiculous. It is because those Malays are insulting Malaysian image, really. I did not mean all. It is only that group of Id*ot. Sorry about this, I am not racism.
Although this year I did not count down, I mean because of the raining or the place we stood did not have this so my ‘07 had been passed in peace and like not realizing, but I received ‘08 with memorable moment, which is filling with FIREWORKS.
Those are just pop out suddenly? Maybe I was not realizing…so I just enjoy the scene of blossoming. Its cool, unforgettable. This is the 1st time I watch fireworks in such near distance. I was attracted and shh~ pleased to enjoy..
In the moment, I was realized that the best camera is human mind. Maybe you should disagree.
After all, what are we going to do?? Hmn..the long trip to here is just to? watch the fireworks..luckily I watched it or else I should be regret and like wasting time.
The crowd is still acceptable, I mean it was not like I cant walk even a step foe sometimes. I will be crazy if it happened to me.
Then, we went back with satisfaction.

In noon, I had presented myself a new year gift which is  a bag that  I am considering  to buy from long time ago.  Now, its on my bed..hehe..

The thing that I wana say is..
Although  ‘07  was gone,  but I am bringing the ‘07 of me to ‘08.
I should not be defined as I am not going to change anything. Its just I will try to do my best..(this is the motto that I always used in ‘07..haha)
I should have a new thinking, maybe same dream that I had not completed in ‘07.
Hope ‘08 of me is more comfortable,hardworking,dare to dream,dare to action…

I am still me…
Happy 2008!!

Found..

December 29th, 2007 by otyng-0416

As in the holiday, I should I am enjoying…
I afraid that I could overcome the stress which is going to be faced in the next semester..It is I am too relax right now..
Just now I had been to shopping..shit..I found something that I like but I don’t have any money..sigh..considering..

I had watch 3 episodes of HEROES…
maybe you will say I’m outdated..I admit it..
It is interesting although I just gone through for 3..
Persons that having the super power still are confusing why they could have it for right now…
The point that I want to say is…
If we are gaining super power will us be happy??
All of them like always ll be in troublesome..

one of them know what is going on in the future..

He is an artist, but I did not found any good on him…I mean if I able to look at the future, I couldn’t do anything…maybe they could..still looking for answer.

One japan guy is following what the artist draw in the comic although he does have superpower too.. why he should follow the comic does?? Why is a japan guy…

I like the arrangement of Heroes. It doesn’t seems boring. It is because there are a lot of persons they need to describe in an episode..so in one there are few parts.

-to be continued-

NO MORE VIRGIN…

November 5th, 2007 by otyng-0416

so tiring!!!
after 4 day trip…
being black…
but of course have a lot fun…
where’ve I been???

MIRI, Sarawak for JOM HEBOH trip… so cool…
I’ve done my 1st time here…
hmn…
not other thing but this is my 1st time sitting plane…
when I was depart from west Malaysia, I am not that excited or nervous…
just like normal…
I thought I should looking the scenery outside when the plan is flying…
but i failed..
it is because I was not sitting near the window…
and I was damn sleepy at the moment…
I was taking nap before the day for an hr…
due to the call time is 4am..
I was having steamboat dinner with my friends until 11 something…
(some episodes from this dinner: a small gathering with those friends that did not having dinner for long time ago although we are in the same course, but some are not.
The chicken wings there need to be grabbed only you have the chance to eat it but this is only applied in the peak hour which means dinner hour from 8-9++. After that, you can eat as many as u can. I was wondering that I am stupid cause grabbing wings like crazy from the beginning.)

4am, i have to thx my hsemate that bring me to Sri Pentas, reach there by 4!!
Luckily, I have such good housemate.
After packing all stuffs is the to airport!!!
A funny thing happened again…
my colleague that  sitting the same car with me suddenly shout!!!
‘Did you bring your passport?’
I said no… so far, we are wondering that is passport needed??
The answer is…..No la.

Finally, arrived in MIRI safely.

Actually MIRI is just like IPOH, but less developed than IPOH…
the environment is similar.
We did not went to any place…
Hey, is working!!
We reach at 2nd Nov visit and our booth.

The next day, work.
There were some malay celebrity who were sitting the same bus with us before that
but so sorry that I don’t know them.
It is not because they were not famous. It is just that I was not an Malay celeb fans.
When the celebs were visit to our booth and make some interaction with the public, at that time only it was crowded.

The 1st day was raining in the morning but it was stopped in the noon.
The weather is still considered good.
The 2nd day. My godness!!!
HOT LIKE HELL.
The sun was trying to kill us!!!
I did not apply sun block. I become dark.

Some of the people there are still sporting but some of them are shy.
But one of the thing that I can answer you for sure.
When they found some celeb they directly approach to them and take photo.

I enjoyed this trip so much.

One of the best damn thing is…
finally.. we got the chance to eat seafood…
syiok gile!!

Ratatouille

August 20th, 2007 by otyng-0416

My godness!!!
This is a must watch movie ever!!
It did not disappointed me.
Actually, I like to watch cartoon.
From the beginning, a teaser shown that a ‘trainee alien’
was arriving on the earth to catch the human in night.

There do have many controlling buttons, while the human is sleeping,
the alien was trying to picking him up.
In here, it failed and many funny actions that u do not miss it!!!
(It doesn’t related to the story but I was wondering that is it teaser
for the next movie or just simply joke, or the human is the blur guy in this movie,
nobody knows)
The rat this time is rather real than ever,
since Disney and Pixar had been collaborated for sometimes,
it shown some improvement.
As usual, the rat living in garbages, and rat family picking up all the garbage.
Remy (the rat) had good sense of smelling.
He always run into people house and stealing the food. He likes good food.
He was interested to cook since he ran into a granny house,
she got the book titled ‘Everyone can cook’ written by Gusteau, a master cook.
Once the master was dead, the restaurant was managing by Skinner.
One day, a garbage boy was start his work in this restaurant,
he accidentally pour the soup and mixed with some water.
Remy saw it and add some materials into it and surprisingly it was delicious.
Everyone thought it was done by Linguini (the blur garbage boy).
At first, Remy was going to dump into the river cause he was found by Skinner.
Skinner asked Linguini to throw it cause kitchen seriously should be in ‘rat-free’,
or other word to say that rat was portrayed as dirty.
Liguini did not do that and keep him as friend. 
Remy taught Liguini to cook. He became famous.

After the death of Gusteau, the restaurant was dropped from 5 stars to 3 stars,
after Linguini become famous, the food critics,
Ego is coming back to the restaurant to judge their food again.
Before that, everyone know that all the food was done by a tiny rat,
it sounds ridiculous but it was real. All the crew get out from kitchen.

Something ridiculous and funny happened again!
Due to this is the day Ego come towards to judge the food and the truth reveal by the day.
No crew, how it gonna to run the business??
Remy asked his members to help.
My godness!!!
While the rats were grouping in the kitchen, it was itching and is a kind of horrible.
Although the rats were cute, but in a group? Pleaseeee don’t come over to me!!

While they were busying to prepare to the food,
suddenly the health officer was arrived cause he was informed by Skinner that there
is a rat in the kitchen. Skinner was kicked out from the kitchen once he was found that
he is to grab the restaurant.
It was an enmity done by Skinner.
Once the office stepped into the kitchen, my godness!!
The group of rats were stairing to him for few seconds, the officer is going to be crazy.
So funny.

Remy created a dish named ‘Ratatouille’ (a kind of dish), once Ego tried it,
he felt like back to childhood, this is the dish that made by his mum since he was child.
Finally, he knew that the dish was done by a rat.
He was struggling for long time whether he has to upgrade the restaurant.
At last, he done it and he was not a food critic anymore due to the ridiculous reason.
After that, he was living in leisure and come to Gusteau restaurant often.

The storyline is normal. The graphics and the arrangements are the things that make this movie worth to watch.

Seriously, it is a MUST WATCH movie!!!!
