Eat Pray Love

Yesterday I watch a DVD entitled "EAT PRAY LOVE" is a comedy-drama which Directed by Ryan Murphy. Starring Julia Roberts, Billy Crudup, Viola Davis. Stars Julia Roberts as a divorcee who embarks on a journey to rediscover herself. Eat, Pray, Love is based on a book by the same name, which is written by Elizabeth Gilbert. The book Eat, Pray, Love itself is very captivating and the movie is also a good adaption of the book. In Eat, Pray, Love, Julia Roberts goes on a quest to rediscover herself after she realizes that her marriage has failed and her life is crumbling down. Julia Roberts first goes to Italy to eat and the purpose is to taste good food, she then goes to India to pray in an ashram and then her last destination is Bali to look for love. I haven't got chance to watch this film at local theater so I bought DVD of it last night. It's too late for me to review about this film but all I want to write here is. I enjoy the movie, she (Julia Roberts) still give good impact on acting... she's really good. This film also taught me about how to find the balance in living. Give and take. However at the end of the story I've learn something.. "I learned to let go of the illusion that we can possess. I learned to let go and remember happiness.

"To lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced life."

Hantu Kak Limah (Interview dengan Usop)

Berikut adalah temubual eksklusif salah seorang pelakon HANTU KAK LIMAH Saya sedut temuabual ini dari blog Enchik Hasril. Menurut Enchik Hasril dia juga menyedut temubual ini dari sesorang yang Beta sendiri tak kenal maka tak cinta ha.. ha..

Berikut adalah temubual diantara Tok Rimau dan juga Usop

Assalamualaikum Encik Usop,

Tok Rimau: Kes hantu Kak Limah balik rumah heboh diperkatakan orang dalam surat khabar dan internet. Encik Usop adalah salah seorang penduduk Kampung Pisang yang terlibat secara langsung dalam misteri ini. Oleh yang demikian, saya harap Encik Usop dapat menjawab beberapa soalan untuk blog saya. Ya lah, sebelum Wikileaks mendedahkan, lebih baik Encik Usop sendiri memberi penjelasan.

Usop: Terimakasih di ateh soalan miker yg membingungkan kepala awokk (saya dlm bhs perak), dah macam soalan stpm lagoknyerr sdgkan rata2 masyarakat kg pisang spm pun xde kecuali pak jabit yg ada sijil keusahawanan utk membuka gerai... apa2 pun dgn semangat english edukesyen yg ada, awokk cuba jawab soalan miker tu walaupun takder jawapan secara objektif..

Tok Rimau: Ada yang berpendapat bahawa Encik Usop adalah penari separa mahir kerana Encik Usop yang melenggangkan sebelah tangan sahaja apabila bercakap. Apakah Encik Usop setuju dengan pendapat ini? Cuba citer, cuba citer.

Usop: Sebenornyer, Usop ni xler terror mana pun menari, eksyen jer lebey. Usop ni cuba mengangkat martabat penari2 yg berselerak di tanah pamah Malaysia ni yg selama ni tidak di hargai dan diberi perhatian seperti di barat. Kdg2 dlm mana2 show, penari2 latar di beri layanan yg teruk seperti tidak memberi impak kepada sesebuah show.

Tok Rimau: Pada suatu hari yang aman tenteram, burung berkicauan dan angin sepoi-sepoi bahasa, Encik Usop ditimpa kemalangan sehingga kedua-dua kaki Encik Usop menjadi lumpuh. Hinggalah sekarang masih belum sembuh. Apakah pandangan Encik Usop tentang prasarana Orang Kurang Upaya di Kampung Pisang? Cuba citer, cuba citer.

Usop: Definasi OKU ni luas, secara directnyer Usop di kategorikan sebagai OKU kerana kakinyer yg lumpuh dan menggunakan weecha hak milik kerajaan. Usop adalah OKU yg nampak secara jelas. Namun OKU juga patut diguna pakai oleh ahli2 masyarakat yg xbley berfikir secara rasional, yg hanya mengikut jer (Yes Man) dan mudah membuat andaian sebelum selidik ke akar umbi... INi lah OKU yg melumpuhkan sistem masyarkat kita pada masa ini. Ilmu itu memberi kesempurnaan kepada pemiliknyer dan mampu merubah keadaan menjadi lebih baik.

Tok Rimau: Adakah Encik Usop berdendam dengan orang yang membajak kaki Encik Usop hingga lumpuh? Cuba citer, cuba citer.

Usop: Dendam tu tetap ada tetapi Usop seorang yg lebey memikiorkan cara hidup Usop. Cuma bila melihat org yg membuat Usop lumpuh sedikit sebanyak mengimbau kembali nostalgia kaki di bajok kubota tu. Namun Usop bukannyer marah pasal kaki digelek, cuma Usop lagi terkilan xdapat nak rasa kek blueberry yg jadi peberet Usop tu..

Tok Rimau: Secara logik, jika rumah Kak Limah dibakar, hantu Kak Limah akan lebih marah lagi. Bagi cadangan lain bagaimana orang kampung boleh menghapuskan hantu Kak Limah?

Usop: Tu ler org kita, ikutkan logik jer, blum tentu lagi kak limah akan mengamuk kalau rumah dia kena bakor, kita kena cuba gunakan segala kaedah yg ada utk hapuskan Hantu Kak limah tu. Berdasarkan tahap IQ yg ada pada penduduk Kg pisang, membakor tu adalah cara yg terbaik yg dapat dipikirkan pada masa tu krn dah tak tahan kena ganggu. Cara lain yg usop rasa perlu di buat, ialah dengan pajakkan rumah Kak limah tu pada Dennis Lim, pasei org cina ni bab2 harta dan asset deme jaga dan tatang betui2.

Tok Rimau: Apakah hubungan Encik Usop dengan Abi Hurairah? Abang-adik? Tuan-kuli? Kawan biasa? Ehem-ehem? Apa? Cuba citer, cuba citer.

Usop: Hubungan dgn Abi tu hanya di pengaruhi oleh faktor Si Abi yg mudah di eksploitasi oleh Usop tanpa sebarang bayaran. Di kg2 mmg ada jenis2 yg mcm ni, belanja minum teh atau mee kari kedai cina sure dia akan anggap kita sebagai abg long dia walaupun kita tak bagi gaji... hubungan lain..hmmm sorry he is not my taste, not like Usin

Tok Rimau: Menurut pemandu ambulan, Kampung Pisang adalah tempat sial di mana bala turun. Ada zombielah, ada hantulah, pendek kata macam-macam berlaku. Encik Usop sudah tinggal di Kampung Pisang sekian lama. Apakah yang Encik Usop harapkan untuk masa depan Kampung Pisang? Cuba citer, cuba citer.

Usop: Utk masa depan Kg Pisang yg sejahtera ini, Usop benor2 berharap agar pihak berkuasa dapat membina projek jalur lebar di kg pisang dan kemudahan internat diberikan secara percuma, hanya melalui projek ini, penduduk kg pisang yg tidak ada spm dapat berinteraksi dgn dunia luar melalui penggunaan facebook, twitter dan juga google.

Tok Rimau: Apakah yang menghalang Kampung Pisang dari menjadi seperti sebuah kampung dalam wawasan Encik Usop? Cuba citer, cuba citer.

Usop: Halangan utama adalah tahap edukesyen penduduk2nyer yg berpuashati dgn ilmu yg ada, hidup umpama kais pagi makan pagi, tidak ada keinginan utk mencapai taraf pendidikan yg tinggi, mgkn dgn adanyer akses kepada facebook seperti jawapan tadi tadi boley merubah IQ penduduk2 di sini.

Tok Rimau: Bagaimanakah pengalaman Encik Usop sebagai bekas penari kebudayaan boleh menyelamatkan Kampung Pisang dari terus dilanda nasib buruk? Cuba citer, cuba citer.

Usop: Sebagai bekas penari kebudayaan, utk mengelakkan kg pisang terus di landa nasib buruk adalah dengan membakor semua benda2 yg boleh mendatangkan masalah pada masa depan. Tubuhkan unit CSI utk menambah baik cara2 pembakoran di masa depan.

Tok Rimau: Berbanding dengan penduduk Kampung Pisang yang lain, Encik Usop mempunyai kemahiran Bahasa Inggeris yang tinggi. Apa pendapat Encik Usop tentang penggunaan Bahasa Inggeris dalam pembelajaran sains dan matematik? Cuba citer, cuba citer.

Usop: Payah nak suruh org kita kuasai sains n matematik dlm english edukesyen kerana ianya kena bermula dari peringkat awal dan konsisten. Kena guna subjek yg lebey mudah xperlu pikior banyak. Misalannyer subjek tarian asas di sekolah rendah, bila nak dimatematikkan kita guna perkataan step, one and two, two an three, three and four dan seterusnyer, dan kalau nak disainskan kita guna ler ayat2 sains seperti take your deep oksigen not breath.

Tok Rimau: Saya mahu tamatkan wawancara ini dengan soalan wajib sebuah program hiburan berinfomasi:- Bila Encik Usop mahu kahwin? Cuba citer, cuba citer.

Usop: Kahwin??? Usop masih menunggu Usin seperti gak Ayu huhuh

****
Sekian terimakasih. Kami pun singgah di warung Pak Jabit dan orde secawan kopi janda. Bukan nak berniage, cuma nak menggode. Hi Hi Hi! Terimakasih En Usop kerana sudi belanja minum. Kena tolak weechar la pulak. Dah la rumah atas bukit. Nyesal awokkk.

Begitulah flashback saya.

TONTONILAH HANTU KAK LIMAH BALIK RUMAH DI PAWAGAM-PAWAGAM BERDEKATAN! SILA BAWA BINDING TAPE IKAT PERUT SEBAB PENONTON KATA MEREKA PECAH PERUT MENONTON HANTU KAK LIMAH BALIK RUMAH.

Pekerja-pekerja dibelakang tadbir... Hantu Kak Limah

ini adalah gambar Pengarah Hantu Kak Limah (Mamat Khalid) dan juga sahabat Beta, Endy.. (yang tukang tangkap gambar itu adalah Beta, jika tiada jurugambar... tiadalah gambar ini ha..ha.. ah..) dan gambar ini telah disedut dari blog kawan Beta iaitu Enchik Endy Fotopelangi

Review:
Bertarikh 24 Disember 2010, Jam 6.30 Petang, di TGV Kinta City Ipoh akhir Beta berjaya mendapatkan tiket untuk menonton filem Hantu Kak Limah Balik Rumah dengan cara menempah 'dalam talian' kerana beberapa kali gagal mendapatkan tiket di kaunter jualan memandangkan sambutan luar biasa (sold out) terhadap filem ini. Apappun kredit kepada 'Lyen' kerana banyak membantu untuk mendapatkan tiket ini.. thank you.. sei sei..

Filem ini berkisarkan tentang penduduk kampung Pisang yang gempar dengan kewujudan Hantu Kak Limah yang menganggu kesejahteraan, keharmonian penduduk kampung tersebut. Pelbagai cara untuk mengatasi masalah, kehadiran Bomoh dari Indonesia, dan juga Siam menemui jalan buntu. Kekecohan yang berlaku dipaparkan pada skrin layar ini membuahkan gelak tawa penonton dengan gelagat pelakon dari mula filem ini dimainkan sehinggalah ke penghujung. Filem ini juga turut papaprkan pekara yang "tersurat dan tersirat " dalam dialog-dialog yang diperkatakan.

Kerjasama diantara pelakon ini amat baik sehingga buatkan filem ini benar-benar menjadi dalam erti kata lain 'tiada aktor utama kerana semua pelakon adalah watak utama'. Semua pelakon berjaya membawa watak masing-masing dengan penuh penghayatan. Dari segi sinematografi.. filem ini kelihatan cukup indah persekitaran Kampung Pisang. Dan lagu-lagu yang digunakan sebagai selingan cukup menarik dan menggamit memori. Sentuhan CGI filem ini sama seperti filem Estet, CGI yang kurang memuaskan untuk beberapa babak namun kelemahan itu boleh diterima dengan hati terbuka.

Biarpun begitu Hantu Kak Limah Balik Rumah kali ini dilihat banyak kehilangan aktor dan aktress sebelum ini seperti Que Haida, Hamid Gurkha, AC Mizal, Nadia, Eyzleen (sekadar menyebut beberapa nama) menjadikan filem ini tidak semeriah filem Zombie Kampung Pisang. Apapun filem Hantu Kak Limah ini bukanlah sekuel dari filem Zombie Kampung Pisang.. mungkin disebabkan itu banyak pelakon tidak diutarakan.

Sekalong Tahniah kepada Pengarah Mamat Khalid, krew-krew belakang takbir pembikinan filem ini dan juga pelakon-pelakon yang terlibat kerana berjaya menghasilkan sebuah filem yang cukup menghiburkan.

Kembara Jalanan Episod 1

24 Oktober 2010 Ahad

5.00 Pagi - hati masih bercelaru, biarpun pakaian telah dikemas dalam beg tapi hati masih sendu.

(Jalang aka Miss X -ayu ker?)

8.00 - Jalang datang rumah.. aku agak terkejut kerana janjinya jam 10 pagi.. kenapa awal sangat? Aku hubungi telefon bimbit Karl.. tidak jawaban diterima apa yang pasti dia masih lagi di ulit mimpi.. Sham OKU pula tak dapat dihubungi.. biasaler.. bila tanya 'oh hanpon aku rosak'... Bersiap dah kami terus sarapan pagi di kawasan sekitar pasar pagi bandar Batu Gajah... seperti biasa aku dengan menu aku iaitu Mee Kari dengan Teh Ais dan Jalang Mee Kari with Iced Lemon Tea... perasan "mat salleh" ler tu..

(Karl - yang berkaca mata, yang ternganga tu Endy Fotopelangi)

9.00 - Merayau di sekitar pasar pagi.. window shopping kata orang puteh. Aku beli ikan bilis, cabai merah dan hijau. Beli makanan ikan peliharaan. Aku juga sempat beli seluar putih ala Pakistan.. kat bundle BGEE.

(Sham OKU)

10.00 - pergi rumah Sham OKU.. la.. rupanya masih membuta. buat tahi mata, nasib baik OKU so aku boleh terima.. kalo normal memang aku simbah air. panas. sebab orang tuan pernah berkata "jangan tidur ninggi hari nanti susah ketemu jodoh" patutler dia tak kahwin-kahwin.. rupanya tidur ninggi hari... aku??? belum tiba seru lagi akk akk akk.

Pastu Sham OKU minta aku setup netbooknya.. katanya tak dapat connected biarpun wifi dah ada. Aku pun perodi.. terus dapat digunapakai alhamdulliah.. ingat nak caj RM10.00 tapi tetiba Teh Ais, Goreng Pisang, dan Bengkang ada atas meja... kiranya tak boleh nak caj... pandai kou Noni (adik Sham) coverline ye... jadi aku tak boleh naj caj perkhidmatan... sebab ada makan free! so free off caj sahaja ... pastu install Firefox, YM, and etc.

Jalang pulak sibuk dengan FBnya maklumlam dapat guna wifi free kat rumah sham... takder citer lain... asyik pasal jantan ajer.. tak kuasa akak nak layan nyah.... pastu kami bergerak ke Stesen Keretapi Batu Gajah.. untuk apa??? aku masih tak boleh nak buat keputusan pergi atau tidak.. ya atau tidak.. kata orang putehnya YES or NO.

12.30 Balik rumah aku.. hantar barang yang aku beli tadi.. aku siap mandi lagi.. touch-up sikit.. sebab aku kurang hensem kalo kena panas.. Jalang dengan Sham OKU takper.. mereka memang suka 'bera' look... lepas berbincang kami decided nak tengok wayang.. citer apa???
Cuti-Cuti Malaysia??? oh.. tidak!!! Cuti Cuti Cinta.. ishhh... cinta pun boleh cuti-cuti ye.. kalo Jalang yang berlakon mesti tajuknya ditukar kepada MC-MC-CINTA. Filem arahan Ahmad Idham ni ala ala filem Saus Kacang lakonan Bunga Citra Lestari dan Ashraf Sinclair. Overall filem ni aku kasi 3*** jer.. tapi lepas tengok filem ni aku rasa aku patut bercuti...

3.40Petang, aku ajak jalang pi Stesen Keretapi Ipoh, terpancar cahaya kebahagian di wajah Sham OKU dan Jalang bila kau sebut stesen keretapi Ipoh... you all agak kenapa? ahheem.. aku sorang je tau... bila dah masuk KTMB akulak tengok jadual perjalanan dan tiket kut masih ada.. keretapi ETS (transit) jam 6.30 masih ada kekosongan. Aku beli tiket tu dengan harga RM29.00 naik dari Batu Gajah.. pada jam 6.40petang. Lepas beli tiket aku terus balik.. Jalang dan Sham OKU nak hantar aku ke Stesen Keretapi Batu Gajah.. so beli tiket di Stesen Keretapi Ipoh dan naik keretapi dari Batu Gajah.. very clever gitu..

(Stesen Keretapi Ipoh di waktu malam)

Aku mandi lagi, bersiap touch-up sana sini sebab nak pi KL mestilah nak kena nampak hensem baru VOGUE. Pada masa yang sama aku isi beg pakaian, simpan dokumen penting dalam beg (E-Tiket Train & Flight, Passport, Duit Mata wang asing (EU and Dollar+Baht) MP3Player, Pen dan ubat sebab aku masih demam dan selsema.. kesian aku. Bersalam dengan keluarga akhirnya aku nekad untuk pergi.. masa tu teringat lagu Kaer - Izinkan Ku Pergi.. so airmatapun bertakung... jer.. tak jatuh pun.. cuma bertakung je..

Pergilah sayangku

Bermula semula Semangat cintaku Membara kerana dia Tiada niatku Maafkan aku duhai kasih Izinkan ku pergi

aku melangkah perlahan masuk dalam kereta dan melambai perlahan.. ala-ala filem melayu... lama kelamaan hilang pandangan rumah aku.. sayu dan sebak je aku rasa sebab aku tak sempat nak berpesan pada kucing kesayangan aku.. dan ikan-ikan peliharaan aku.. pasti mereka akan merindui aku.. huu huuu.. dalam hati aku menangis.

5.30-petang.. lepak kedai mamak Batu Gajah.. Anuar not around.. mesti tidur lagi kut? sebab shift dia jam 7petang-7pagi. Kami bertiga lepak disana.. pastu 2 polis yang aku kenali join kami sekaki.. mereka dalam tugas tapi tak salah jika berhenti minum...Jalang dengan gediknya bersembang dengan polis tu.

6.30 Petang-Mentari dah tak bersinar lagi.. suasana dah suram je.. sedih kut.. macam hati aku jugak... tiba di stesen keretapi Batu Gajah.. aku memasuki ruang legar tempat menunggu. Kami masih bersembang lagi.. Jalang nak ikut but it's too late.. all fully book.

6.40 Keretapi ETS sampai pada waktunya.. aku melangkah masuk ala-ala Ratu Univers.. sambil melambai-lambai tangan ucap selamat tinggal... bila dah masuk aku kelam kabut cari tempat duduk.. bila dah jumpa letak beg dan duduk.. ah.. lega rasanya.. aku terfikir sama ada ini benar atau tidak.. hati berkata 'aku tak mungkin boleh patah belakang.. just go with the flow'

6.45 keretapi ETS bergerak aku nampak sahabat aku berada di luar melambai tangan dan lemparkan senyuman. Aku melambai kembali.. siap bagi flying kiss... peduli apa orang nak kata.. yang penting kena nampak happy... lepas tu aku pejamkan mata dan terlena sehingga ke KL Sentral.

8.45 Melangkah keluar dari ETS mencari seseorang tetapi dia tak muncul.. check sms... ada satu sms masih belum dibaca 'maaf tak dapat jemput di KLS, jumpa malam nanti'

9.00 Malam check in di Hotel Sentral Kuala Lumpur. Ingat nak guna as 'day use' tapi lebih 6 jam consider as 1 day. Nevermind... masuk bilik mandi, relaks jap pastu cari makan.. Malam tu Kuala Lumpur di curahi hujan yang cukup lebat, bila aku kenang macam hujan dalam hati aku ni. Sedang jalan-jalan cari makan tetiba aku terpandang seseorang.. oh tidak.. mulanya aku nak undur kebelakang dan lari.. tapi TIDAK aku kena berani hadapi KENYATAAN. Aku beranikan diri ketemu dia kerna aku tahu dia juga menanti aku.. di duduk bersama teman-temannya. Setelah diperkenalkan diri pada teman-temannya yang nampak 'sporting' ajer.. maka kami bersembang.. banyak kisah silam terungaki.. hati aku bercelaru.. masa tu aku terbayangkan lagu Anna Rafali - Hujan Bunga Di Kuala Lumpur

Ramalan kaji cuaca kata
Aku kan jatuh cinta
Tapi tak pula beritahu dengan siapa
Lalu hari ini ku berlari mencari-cari
Si dia yang bakal miliki hati ini

Mungkin dia ada di situ
Tersenyum padaku
Namun malu-malu

Hujan bunga di Kuala Lumpur
Kini sudah tiada
Masa untuk mencari payung
Berteduh kita bawah surat khabar
Lalu terbaca berita kata
Hujan ini tak akan reda

Setelah lama berceloteh bertukar nombor telefon, aku minta diri lalu aku beredar.. tapi dia sempat berpesan kepada aku agar hubungi dia kembali setelah aku kembali ke tanah air. Masa tu aku tak tahu nak cakap apa tapi aku teringat Maher Zain dengan lagunya "Insya Allah"

lalu aku cakap..Insya Allah we’ll find the way...

Aku berlalu dan singgah di kedai makan milik orang Kelantan.. aku order Nasi Goreng Ayam.. tapi katanya ayamnya dah jadi ayam goreng kunyit.. take it or leave it.. aku nak kena melantak juga sebab aku kelaparan.. minuman aku order teh ais.. tapi dia bagi teh beng.. (teh o ais) gasak je lah.. hujan-hujan ni memang mencabar keimanan.. tapi aku tetap maintain hensem..

10.30 aku balik hotel.. baju agak kebasahan.. hati aku juga basah mengenangkan saat pertemua aku dan dia tadi.. sebab tak sangka ketemu dia... tiba tiba aku terbayangkan kak Melah @ Ramlah Ram - Cintaku Hanyut Dilautan Sepi

Berderai Bunga Cinta Menitis Airmata
Sayu dan Pilu Berkocak Dikalbu
Terhempas Hati ini Berkecai Harapan
Musnahlah Mimpi Indah Hancurlah Perasaan
Tiada
Tiada Lagi TempatKu Bermanja
Tidakkah Kau Membayangkan Betapa Hancurnya HatiKu
Tidakkah Kau Merasakan Betapa AKu Sengsara
CintaKu Hanyut Dilautan Sepi
Oh Mengapa
Mengapa Sampainya Hatimu MenyeksaKu

11.45 aku dikejutkan dari lenaku.. teman ku hadir.. katanya biarpun penerbangan jam 7.00pagi kita harus berada di airport 2 jam lebih awal. Bila dihitung masa dan jadual perjalanan maka kami terpaksa bertolak jam 3.00 dari KLS ke LCCT. Maka kami tidur sebentar..

25. Oktober 2010

3.10 pagi kami sudah berada dalam Skybus untuk ke LCCT...

8.40 pagi aku mendarat di CNX. Check in jam 9.20 pastu tidur... nak cover balik waktu tidur yang terbabas... bila terjaga dalam jam 4 petang.. hati rasa lega... sebab dah sampai ke destinasi yang di harapkan.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Semalam aku telah di culik oleh Datuk K di tempat kerja. Dia memasuki ruang legar pejabat tanpa izin. Wah... bunyinya macam suspen jer... sebenarnya Datuk K bukanlah laki kepada Dato' Siti Nurhaliza (malas aku nak skandal dengan Mentor aku sebab aku suka Siti) sebaliknya ia adalah nama samaran member aku yang lebih dikenali sebagai Kay (semasa dia menetap di KL) tapi nama sebenornya dalam surat beranaknya tertera Kamarulzaman tapi aku lebih suka panggil dia Datuk K, kiranya glamerlah sikit.. kalo dia telefon tu mesti kata 'ya datuk... ada apa hal' mesti orang pandang aku semacam je...

Lepas waktu kerja, aku telah dibawa ke Kinta City... seterusnya kami berjumpa Gen2 (mamat yang kerja kat bahagian Sport, Jaya Jusco Ipoh) berborak jap... pastu pi TGV tengok senarai filem yang ditayangkan... disini hati berbelah bagi. Datuk K nak tengok citer The Sorcerer's Apprentice tayangan jam 1830 sedangkan hati aku meronta nak tengok Inception tapi tayangannya jam 1930. Memandangkan Datuk K yang sponser tiket aku ikut je pilihan dia, aku pulak sponser air dan makanan ringan tapi aku takkan sponser rokok sebab... atuk aku kata "haram" jadi aku ikut je kata atok... tapi... ehh.. aku ada atok ke?

The Sorcerer's Apprentice berkisar tentang ahli sihir yang menjadi mentor kepada "Dave" Stutler" atau lebih glamer dengan nama Prime Merlinian. Malas aku nak membebel pasal filem ni tapi cuma aku nak bagi tau filem ni ok je.. sebab semua aksi macam biasa tengok jer... nothing special, nothing impress me at all macam filem Avatar atau Clash Of Titans. My next attractions adalah The Last Airbender atau lebih dikenali dalam TV9 sebagai Avatar. Harap-harap filem The Last Airbender ni tidak akan mengecewakan aku. Jadual waktu tayangan di TGV Ipoh adalah 5 Ogos 2010 kiranya sebelum bulan puasa. Jadi aku akan cuba mencari ruang untuk menonton filem ni. Apapun Datuk K, terima kasih kerana sponser tiket The Sorcerer's Apprentice! nanti jika ada masa kita tonton Inception... nanti aku sponser tiket.

Clash Of Titans (2010)

Yesterday I didn’t manage to get a fast-train ticket from Ipoh to KL since it fully book or consider sold out. 'Adios' to 'mi amigos' hopefully you guys will return to Ipoh with plenty of great pictures. Then I went to Ipoh Parade (Shopping Mall) and do little shopping before I enter GSC (Golden Screen Cinemas Sdn Bhd is the leading film exhibitor and distributor in Malaysia), got a ticket and watch a film at the same building. This time I decided to watch Clash of the Titans is a 2010 fantasy film and remake of the 1981 film of the same name. It was fantastic movie with great actor/actress and amazing CGI effects, bravo!!! Once it over I feel like I was the lead actor in that movie.

Here the narrative:
The film begins with a narration by Io, explaining that there were originally three Gods: Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. The Gods defeated their greatest enemies, the Titans, with the help of Hades's creation, the Kraken. After the Titans' defeat, Zeus created man and ruled them while Poseidon ruled the sea, but Hades, having been deceived by his brother Zeus is forced to rule the Underworld, constantly plotting to take Zeus's throne for himself.

A fisherman, Spyros, finds a coffin adrift in the sea, discovering a baby, Perseus, and his dead mother, Danaë, inside. Spyros decides to raise Perseus as his own. Years later, Perseus and his family are fishing when they witness a group of soldiers from Argos destroying a statue of Zeus and declaring war on the gods. Hades commands harpies to massacre the soldiers, then destroys the boat Perseus and his family are on. Perseus tries to save his family but to no avail, the surviving soldiers take Perseus back to Argos.

During a feast for the returning soldiers King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia of Argos compare themselves and their daughter, Andromeda, to the gods. Andromeda is against fighting the gods, and is protesting when Hades appears and kills the remaining soldiers. Perseus is unaffected however, and Hades realizes Perseus is a demigod and reveals Zeus is Perseus's father. Hades kills the queen, and threatens that if Princess Andromeda is not sacrificed to the Kraken, Argos will be destroyed in 10 days.

The king seeks the help of Perseus. Perseus initially refuses, but decides to help when Io, an immortal being who has watched over Perseus from the time he was born, assures him he can have his revenge against Hades. Perseus and Io embark on a quest to find the Stygian Witches. Hades enlists Acrisius, the man who was married to Danaë when Zeus impregnated her with Perseus. Acrisius was leading men to attack Olympus, and while other gods wanted to annihilate Acrisius, Zeus wanted to make an example of him. He snuck into Danaë's bed in the form of Acrisius and impregnated her. Acrisius declared that the baby could not be born, and set Danaë and the baby Perseus adrift in their coffin. Hades imbues him with powers to aid him in killing Perseus, and Acrisius takes the name of Calibos. While in the woods, Perseus and his men discover a sword forged in Olympus that will only display power if it is wielded by Perseus. Perseus also discovers a winged horse called Pegasus. Perseus refuses to use either of these gifts, as he does not wish to be a God. Calibos attacks the group led by Perseus. They severe the hand of Calibos, the hand and his blood attract giant scorpions, and Perseus and his group are attacked. They are saved by the Djinn, sand-demons with magical powers. Perseus and the Djinn agree to cooperate.

At the Garden of Stygia, the Stygian Witches tell Perseus that the head of Medusa could kill the Kraken, but that Perseus will die in the process. After leaving the witches, Perseus is visited by Zeus who offers him asylum on Mount Olympus. He refuses. Zeus gives him instead a golden drachma. Perseus uses the coin to bribe Charon for passage into the Underworld and enters Medusa's lair. Although four of Perseus' remaining soldiers fight hard to stay alive, one by one they are turned to stone by her gaze. Draco, one of the soldiers with Perseus, allows himself to be turned to stone to give Perseus a clear shot at Medusa's head. Perseus kills Medusa, but Calibos returns and kills Io. Perseus engages Calibos in combat and kills him, using the sword from Olympus to stab him in the heart and turn him back into Acrisius in human form. Acrisius then tells Perseus to not become a god, before dying. Perseus rides Pegasus back to Argos with Medusa's head, where the Kraken is destroying the city.

Hades hopes the destruction of Argos will give him enough power to overthrow the other Olympians. Zeus attempts to banish Hades back to the Underworld, but Hades overpowers him. Zeus then reveals to Hades that Perseus is still alive. Hades leaves to oversee the Kraken's attack and ensure his victory.

Perseus defeats the creatures sent by Hades and uses the head of Medusa to turn the Kraken into stone. Perseus throws his sword at Hades, charged with a bolt of lightning from Zeus, banishing Hades to the Underworld. Perseus saves Andromeda, but he declines to become king of Argos.

Zeus offers to make Perseus a god, but he refuses. Zeus warns Perseus that Hades will return someday when mankind is in fear. Since Perseus is intent to stay on Earth, Zeus resurrects Io, and the two embrace while Pegasus flies above them.

Note: Between Avatar & Clash Of Titans (both same lead actor), I vote for Clash Of Titans as movie of the year!

Niyang Rapik Movie - Review

Berdiri atas nama Niyang Rapik sudah cukup menyeramkan. Metrowealth (MIG) dan sutradara Ahmad Idham kembali menghantui pawagam-pawagam tanah air dengan naskah terbaru beliau. Semalam (5/2/2010) aku berkesempatan menerjah pawagam TGV Kinta City untuk tayangan lewat malam bersama teman-teman yang mengharapkan filem ini mampu menghiburkan dan memberikan kepuasan maksima.

Permulaan filem ini sudah meremangkan dimana Zack (Fizz Fairuz) meninggal dunia akibat busung hasil dari perbuatan orang. Kematian Zack mengejutkan dan meresahkan rakan karib mereka iaitu Helmi (Kamal Adli), Zizan (Shaheizy Sam), Saiful (Zed Zaidi) dan Amir (Awal Ashaari) serta keluarga Zack sendiri. Menurut Ibu Zack (lakonan Dian P. Ramlee) Zack mula berubah sejak kembali dari Niyang Rapik bersama rakan karib mereka bagi meyelesaikan tugasan akhir Projek Kajian Sejarah Niyang Rapik. Disebabkan itu mereka kembali ke Niyang Rapik bagi memulangkan Karambit yang telah dicuri oleh Zack, namum Niyang Rapik tidak seceria dulu. Kehadiran mereka ke Niyang Rapik disambut dengan pelbagai kejadian aneh dan menyeramkan membuatkan penonton mula resah gelisah. Untuk cerita selanjutnya kenalah tonton sendiri. Niyang Rapik kebanyakannya dibarisi oleh pelakon-pelakon muda termasuklah Liyana Jasmay sebagai Laila.

Dari segi lakonan, ternyata barisan pelakon filem ini berjaya membawa watak dengan baik sekali dan meninggalkan kesan mendalam. Dihiasi dengan sinematografi yang 'chantek' hutan mala segar tasik Kenyir yang mampu membangkitkan perasaan takut. Penataan bunyi dan cahaya cukup baik. Sayangnya filem ini gagal tampilkan 'kemuncak' yang hebat bagi mempamerkan kekuatan kuasa jahat terutama ketika disaat-saat getir dimana 3 rakan muda itu mula lemah dek mentera jampi oleh Tok Neram (Nasir Bilal Khan) seharusnya di wujudkan pertarungan hebat dan kekuasan sihir.. seperti kemunculan roh-roh jahat, atau air sungai melimpah ruah tanda kemarahan... ini tidak.. hanya 'bertentang mata' keredaan mula terasa. Ingatkan ia akan jadi seperti filem Narnia 2 malangnya sangkaan saya melesit.

Cuma bagi aku filem ini harusditukar tajuk kerana Niyang Rapik tidak lagi relevan. Ini kerana filem ini bukanlah berkisar tentang keramat Niyang Rapik atau Karambit dan mahupun tangkai yang dipakai oleh Saiful. Sebaliknya ia berkisarkan dendam seorang ayah apabila anaknya dirogol. Mungkin tajuk Kemaafan Dendam Yang Terindah atau Maafkan Saya Pakcik lebih sesuai dan tepat.

"Niyang Rapik" starts with Zack (Fizz Fairuz) who dies due to a horrible curse. His untimely death shocks four of his best friends - Helmi (Kamal Adli), Zizan (Shaheizy Sam), Saiful (Zed Zaidi) and Amir (Awal Ashaari). Thus, they journey to Niyang Rapik, a village where they've conducted research for their final-year history project, to return a karambit stolen by Zack. However, things in Niyang Rapik aren't as cheerful as before.

It does not take long before the action unfolds in "Niyang Rapik" and audiences are forced to guess what happened to Zack and his friends while they were in Niyang Rapik for the first time. Even though the storyline is simple, the twist is an added advantage to audiences' interest leaving the story to be quite engaging.

Narrative

Daigo Kobayashi (Masahiro Motoki), a cellist in an orchestra in Tokyo, loses his job because of dissolution of the orchestra. After quitting as a professional cellist, he decides to sell his cello which he had recently purchased for 18 million yen, then deciding to move back to his old hometown, Sakata, Yamagata, along with his wife. One day, he finds a classified ad entitled "Assisting departures" for an "NK Agency". He goes to the job interview thinking it is for a job at a travel agency. But at the interview, he discovers that NK is an abbreviation for "encoffinment", and he is instead to assist the "departed". The interviewer, the President of NK Agency, immediately decides to hire Daigo after confirming that Daigo is able to "work hard." The salary is 500,000 yen per month with an additional 20,000 yen bonus for the interview. With no other job prospects, Daigo decides to accept the offer. However, when he comes home to his wife, he finds himself unable to admit the type of work he will be doing, so he dissembles, saying that he is to be employed in the 'ceremonial occasions industry.'
Daigo has a hard time at his first day of work, being made to act as a corpse in a DVD explaining the procedure of encoffinment. More harrowing still is his first assignment which is, in preparation for the wake, to clean dress and apply cosmetics to the body of an aged lady who has died alone at home remaining undiscovered for two weeks. Beset with nausea at the sight and smell of her collapsed body, but in need of the money that is paid at the end of each day, Daigo sets out in his new career. Daigo completes a number of assigments, and experiences the joy and gratitude at his work of those left behind. He starts to feel a sense of fulfillment in his work when his wife, Mika, (Ryoko Hirosue) finds the training DVD and begs him to give up such a "disgusting profession." Daigo, however refuses to quit, so his wife leaves him. Even his old friend, Yamashita (Tetta Sugimoto), learning of his job, tells him to get "a proper job", then avoids him because of his refusal.
Not long later however, Daigo's wife returns announcing that she is pregnant and pleads with him once again to find a different source of income. At this moment the telephone rings with a new assignment. Yamashita's mother, Tsuyako (Kazuko Yoshiyuki), who ran the local bathhouse on her own, has died. In front of Yamashita, his family and Mika, Daigo prepares Tsuyako's body for her wake and earns the respect and understanding of all present. Then one day, a telegram is delivered to Daigo's house, with notification of the death of Daigo's estranged father. Daigo refuses to see his dead father, but Mika and Daigo's co-worker convince him to go. When Daigo sees his father, he notices that he has left only one cardboard box of belongings, despite the fact that he lived 70-odd years. Funeral workers come to get Daigo's father's corpse, but Daigo decides to personally encoffin his father. As he encoffins him, Daigo finds a "stone-letter" he had given to his father when he was little; the stone-letter was grasped in his father's hands. When Daigo is finished, he recognizes the father he remembered and cries. As his father is carried away in a coffin, Daigo presses the stone-letter to Mika's pregnant belly.
