It's been a while since I've updated this. Been working, so I tend to sleep very early. Felt like I'm one of those characters in a movie where my life revolves with waking up very early, taking the bus, work on a desk, go back, be miserable in my room while eating lots and lots of chocolate. (Wait! That is technically what I've been doing this couple of months.) Anyway, what made me different from those girls in the movies is that, there would be a moment, a scene, where a high-profile, successful man suddenly comes out of nowhere bumps into this miserable woman. They fell in love, and the story goes on. But not me, nope. I rather have a relationship with myself. And high-profile dude? Won't happen.
I recently discovered that there's something missing in my life. I had a very hard week and I didn't know how to pick myself up. Then I realized that what made me more miserable is expectations. Whether it's big or small. So I opened up to my girls, my besties. I re-gain that strength slowly, and started to walk. Even though it's hard but I had to keep going, leaving everything behind, I had to. I realized as well that it's okay for me to feel what I'm feeling right now, coz that what makes me human. I had this thought for a short period of time that I might finally be a heartless bitch for once. Someone that doesn't care about other's feelings, others that doesn't know me well enough to share my pain, my happiness. I am, again, in a sort period of time, disappointed.
I shall go and snuggle under my blanket now. Au Revoir.
LOOPER : DIRECTED BY RIAN JOHNSON
(WARNING! MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS)
Looper is a story about a group of assassins signed to assassinate targets that has been sent by a criminal organization from the future. Looper's job is to terminate the targets so that the targets are whipped out, clean, like they don't even exist. However, things went south when Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) failed to terminate one of the target which was himself in 30 years time. Enough of the introduction, let's get down to business!
There were a lot of shots that I love about the movie! The camera work was great! My favorite was during Joe and his friends were doing this liquid-type drug and the camera just went 360 degrees. For someone who had never experience drug abuse, it showed me how marvelous it is to be trippin' with whatever they were taking. There were several shot using long lenses to get that great depth of field, especially when they want to focus on that big guns! Usually, Hollywood films like to use cool colours(bluish) to get that futuristic feel but this one is just nice. Even during the future scenes.
From the surface, time travel is the most fucked up thing to begin with. However my personal view of the story is that during a time of desperation, people's mind can easily focus on the negativity. The need to seek vengeance. They do not realize that it could only bring more pain in their lives and also, would bring out the worse in others. The whole past-future frenzy and different individual's motives in this film were planned nicely and if you really pay attention to the storyline, you wouldn't get lost at all. And the action sequence are nicely done, with a hint of coolness and unexpectedly awesome! Bravo to Rian Johnson for having this crazy idea 3 years ago!
Joseph Gordon-Levitt's acting is amazing! I'm not saying that just because I totally adore him, but his portrayal of the younger version Bruce Willis (Old Joe) is just remarkable. And those prosthetic makeup does not make him any less hotter! I almost forgot that he is actually regular Joe and not some dude who freakishly resembles Willis! As always, Bruce Willis has always been the great action movie star. He can be vulnerable and kick-ass at the same time! Emily Blunt (Sara); a young mother that you don't want to mess with (love her American accent)! Pierce Gagnon (Sid) is soo damn adorable, and scary at the same time!
There's a lot more things to talk about this film(pay attention to the art details, like solar powered cars etc).I would highly recommend you guys to watch this as this is the Anti-Hero movie that would leave you breathless! It's nerve wrecking, unexpected, twisted and heart-warming. Enough said!
P/s: When the movie finished and the lights in the cinema went on, everybody was quiet. I think the audience was trying to digest the story and it took them a while to do it. I find that amusing! :D
It was a series of unfortunate event I would say,
Then we've decided to create a game and started to play,
You were leading and I was catching up,
Not sure who was suppose to be on top,
Somehow rather it became a race,
You were speeding up however I got lost in my own pace,
You've tried to explain the rules and regulation,
I wanted to break it but I made this an exception,
I believed that this time would be different,
Until I started to follow the current,
That rocky river where the waters were rough,
You tried to save me, you thought you were tough,
Nether of us had any clue what we're doing,
Destination is in front of you and you had to keep on going,
You got torn, I was loosing confidence,
You were loosing your balance, I was loosing my patience,
By then I was already at the riverbank,
By then I didn't even care where I've rank,
In this ladder you've always talked to me about,
Nevertheless, you tried to ease all my doubt,
I convinced you that maybe it's not meant to be,
That the future is a mystery that we're unable to see,
Maybe it's time to take a different way,
You told me that I was being too cliche,
"But that's life dear. How hard it is, we'll have to move on,
And do me a favour, do not leave me with a frown"
First thing first!! For the past few months, I seldom watch movies (for several unexplained situations) however here are some few one liners (or more) about couple of films that I saw throughout the year (non-sequenced, because I'm forgetful and that lazy)!! Leggo!!
1. Dark Knight Rises - Must watch! Not as hype as the previous one however it ended great. Anne Hathaway as Catwoman aka Selina is just (wait for it!) Badass!! Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Adorable yet you do not mess with his brain. Christian Bale is by far my favourite Batman aka Bruce Wayne.
2. The Avengers - Non-stop action/comedy/drama. Been waiting for this film to come out since last year! Watch until the very end of the movie. Droll over all of the superheroes (especially Robert Downey Jr.) and Shawarma!
3. Total Recall - Shit just got real for this one! Non-stop (and I mean, Non-Stop!) action sequence. Nothing too messy, the pacing was just right. Lots of cat fights and Colin Farrell's confused face!
4. Battleship - Not feeling it that much, but I like how they've planned their attack towards the aliens with numbers and codes. After all, this movie is based on the popular board game, Battleship.
5. Prometheus - If you love films by Ridley Scott, then you'll enjoy this film. Although the story was quite similar to Aliens, but I read somewhere that this was supposed to be the prequel for Aliens. That explains alot because the whole story is just too 'Alien'. Not really my favourite though.
6. The Amazing Spider-Man - Andrew Garfield... droll!! Also, I prefer this version of Spiderman. Sorry Toby!
7. Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn Part 1 - Same old... same old. NEXT!!
8. Brave - I now declare my love to the badass-big-curly-hair-princess-with-a-badass-archery-skill!!! Nuff said!
9. Snow White and The Huntsman - The only actor I'd noticed was Charlize Theron because she's Karayyzayylyy good!!
10. Wanderlust - If you're looking for a light comedy, then you should watch this!
11. This Means War - Who wouldn't want to fight for Reese Witherspoon?? I enjoyed watching this.
12. Abraham Lincoln : Vampire Hunter - I like the story and actions. What bothers me was the fact that they've used an actual American figure as the main character. I'm not sure whether its a parody or.... (still confused)
13. Mirror Mirror - Lily Collins is just too adorable!!! Julia Roberts me love!
14. Being Flynn - I broke down after watching it. It's just too close to home. Remarkable storyline. Paul Dano and Robert DeNiro is just too awesome! Seriously a good film!!
I think that's about it!! I might missed out some couple more films but I'll be back whenever I manage to remember them! Enjoy!!!
P/s: Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin. :D
Love. A word that fits perfectly in between I and You. The word itself is so powerful that some people just can't handle it. Some might take it easy, some might feel a lump in their throat saying it. Once you've said it with all you heart and soul pouring out, you'll instantly gain somewhat freedom without realizing that at the same time you are creating a bond.
Do not take the word lightly, as it's a form of mechanism to patch up a deformed heart.
