facebooking about farmers and superheroes and swans

Here it is. My reviews for the movies i have watched. My reviews are never detailed. Marks and funny stuff.



The Social Network is the story of FACEBOOK, who everyone should by now. It is a great adaption of the original script and the acting of the stars is fantastic. Justin Timberlake who was suppose to play the inventor of Napster, executed every dialogue in such a way that it made me want to kill him. He was manipulative and immoral. Arghh Wanna Kill him!!! haha jokes aside. it was great. and jesse eisenbergh was rightfully nominated for an Oscar. He did a great job of being mark zukerberg and the other guy was good too. Haha. and what the hell is brenda song doing in a NON-DISNEY movie with scenes that should not be seen by her young fans. just saying.

OVERALL RATING : 8.5 (one of my highest rated movies)



Peepli Live is an Bollywood Movie which most probably no one has heard about. Its about Indian farmers who think that by committing suicides the government will pay them Rs.100,000. This money to them can secure the future of their families. However the plan of one farmer gets ransacked when one local reporter finds out and puts out the word. This attracts media from all over the state and becomes havoc for the farmer and his family. It has limited songs and tells us a great story with reporters trying to take a shot of farmers pooping openly and an old lady lving on cigarette.

OVERALL RATING : 7.0


The Green Hornet is not like the typical super hero movie. It is a bit predictable but great action man. Funny punch lines and the cars are just awesome!!!!! Seth rogen was funny. JYt chao was funny. I want To be a super hero now. WAIT WAIT WAIT. there was cameron diaz too!! i DONT NEED TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HER!
Britt Reid (Seth Rogen) is the 28-year-old slacker son of widower James Reid (Tom Wilkinson), publisher of the Los Angeles newspaper The Daily Sentinel. Britt is an irresponsible playboy, but his attitude changes when James is found dead from an allergic reaction to a bee sting. After the funeral, Britt fires the staff aside from his maid and Kato (Jay Chou), James' mechanic and a skilled martial artist. It all goes loppedy loop loop after this. see it ur self. good laugh!

OVERALL RATING: 7.0


The most freakiest and darkest movies i have ever seen! there is nothing more i can say. the ballet is great. mila kunis is hot. natalie portman is confused? haha. well what i think about this movie is that natalie portman was some psycological disorder? i am really confused of the movie which is a great thing about it. you dont really know what is going on. you are just following natalie in her audition and she is just going coo coo.. great great acting by all. truly remarkable. a must see film!

OVERALL RATING: 8.0




WELL I WAS SUPPOSE TO REVIEW THESE 4 MOVIES BUT I HAPPEN TO WATCH ANOTHER ONE SINCE MY LAST POST AND I AM NOT REALLY GOING TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT BUT TO SPEND MONEY AND WATCH IT IN THE CINEMA. A TRULY INSPIRING AND REMARKABLE STORY. I JUST WANT TO WATCH IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. I JUST HOPE IT GETS ALL THE AWARDS ITS NOMINATED FOR THE OSCARS



I hope you liked my reviews.

AND I AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE LAST MOVIE HAS BROKEN ALL THE RECORDS AND HAS AN OVERALL RATING OF 9.5

A Homecoming for me

I finished my third semester of my degree with a decent exam and the excitement of heading home. I guess every person has a different picture of semester breaks. Some people go travelling alone or with company. Some stay back to catch up with their work and study for the finals, some get a job for extra cash and experience, but most people i know go back to their hometown. So i did too.

I did not travel because I am not a fan of spending my own money for something that I will not enjoy. Travelling to me has always been done with family. I have never actually just traveled anywhere on my own or alone. I still haven't had the chance to have close enough friends to go with to. Hopefully this year will be better!

I also did not want to stay back and catch up to study because i had worked hard for the exams and I need a break! However, I do feel guilty as I have asked my group mates for an assignment to do as much as possible before I come. But, what do I care! I am going home!

Work was not on my mind because I am taking a break. And as much I can use the extra cash in my pocket, i need to recharge my brain for the new semester! And do not get me started of Malaysian government rules for international students who want to work. Its brutal!!

So I am home. I really wanted to be home to see my mother (and other family members). And I missed her cooking; there are no worries here and I can achieve total laziness XD. Sleep late, wake up late, fun, poker, movies, tv, ahh its so good!

It been good the last 3 days. I did not do anything special, but went swimming in the pool! AFTER ALMOST 2 YEARS! I don't know why i didnt go when i had the chance. I think its because i was lazy and had no motivation. Now i do have a motivation which is looking good. Now i just need to control my eating and by the end of the year, i would be in great shape :)

What to look forward to this week?

  • lots of food
  • lots of fun
  • meeting old friends
  • family day out
  • and other random happy stuff
Ok. My last post was a new thing i called Rapid fire which did not get as many answers as i would have liked. But the two bloggers that did comment on it are

Reality Shows

I just love them. I love everything about them. The drama. Lying. Cheating. Backstabbing and full Entertainment.

I haven't ever taking part in these competitions like 'sms this number to save this person' but just watching and having a good laugh makes me feel so good.

There are different kinds of reality shows. I really like Talent shows like American Idol, X-Factor, So you think you can dance, Britain's Got Talent and many more.

I also consider game shows part of reality too because its real people doing something. I prefer watching The Wheel of Fortune, Weakest Link, Family Feud, Who wants to be a millionaire and Wipeout!

However there are some shows that are simply geniuses. I have been watching Big Brother which cracks me up so much because of the fighting and intense backstabbing scenes.

The shows that i dont like watching will be the ones with celebrities in it. Like Keeping up with the kardasians and living lohan and other crap. I simply dont care about them and dont want to know how they live their pathetic life.

Well i cant believe this is my first post for 2011 and i wrote it in 10 mins. Usually it takes me hours.

What are your favourite shows? i might start watching them soon, once im done with my exams.

Bye.
