Monsters vs Aliens



Watched this as a sneak preview in 3D! Went with my beloved bf and we loved it! The storyline is quite interesting and unpredictable, injected every now and then with jawbreaking jokes that never fail to make us laugh... Very enjoyable after a busy and tiring day @ work.... :)

Terminator Salvation

As for Terminator Salvation, directed by McG... I find the whole theme of the show quite dark... which reminds me of the show called 'I Am Legend', featuring Will Smith... the scene whereby the character John Connor (played by Christian Bale) speaks to the rest of the Resistance team who were dispersed all over the world due to forced circumstances, floods me with a sense of dejavu.... it reminds me of the scene in the latter movie, whereby Will Smith speaks into a radio transmitter in the hope of being able to communicate and update his latest efforts & to give everyone a sense of belonging and hope to conquer the war against evil....

I don't know why but the whole storyline seems so predictable, weak and boring... there's so many unnecessary scenes that should be excluded... there should be more scenes which can help explain why John Connor has to save the boy called Kyle Reese, and the relationship involved... and maybe also more on the genetics experiments performed on Marcus to make him a half-human-half-cyborg as well as how they had preserved him from the 1970s til the future to be sent back to 2018 to thwart the Resistance team's effort in winning the war by method of deviation....will be very interesting....reminds me of the show The Matrix...

Anyway, I don't really fancy the end of the storyline whereby Marcus, the half-cyborg sacrificed his heart to save John Connor, who is a normal human being, who is going to age, waste away and die eventually... I feel it's such a waste of talent as well as the opportunity to learn more about the half-cyborg ,which was sent from the future, in order to understand the Skynet team more and manipulate their weakness to overcome them....

Currently planning to watch a horror movie next, but with my colleagues instead... maybe next week... probably the show 'Drag Me To Hell'.... will update soon...

My current read is a Malay book ( I rarely read Malay books ) which is popularly known through an Indonesian movie featured a few years back... entitled 'Ayat-ayat Cinta'.... will update on it as soon as I'm done with it!! :p
