Don’t watch it! Your Highness 2011

Yeah a few big names and an Oscar winner Natalie Portman isn’t gonna save this show.

It’s not entertaining nor it is funny at all. Poor scripting and cheap make-believe props makes my eyes bleed.

As you can see from the trailer below, clearly they have slot in all the best convincing bits of the show to convince you to watch it. I can’t help but to compare it with Robin Hood: Men in Tights 1993. Most probably it’s because of the chastity belt bit. But at least that show gave me a good laugh.

So, avoid this at all cost.

Don’t watch it! Dylan Dog: Dead Of Night

Dylan Dog is an Italian comic series started back in 1986. This year, the Americans decided to come out with a movie based on the comic series.

Even though I said don’t watch it. I find it quite entertaining actually. It did made me jump a little at the very beginning but it slowly died off as the comedy starts to roll in. Sad to say though, it’s not exactly funny either.

So at this point, you have a movie which is not very scary or funny. The plus points of this movie is the action bit and CGI. Watching it in local Malaysian cinemas might have quite a big portion censored out due to blood and suggestive sex scenes. Dylan Dog (Brandon Routh, you’ll remember him from Superman Returns), a mortal who is specialize in supernatural is portrait as a scary cat in the comics but not so much in the movie. He’s still much like a Superman, reason why I say this is because he was thrown and flung around by demons, vampires, werewolves and is literally unscratched.

Overall quite a good movie but not good enough for me to shout ‘Watch it!’

Favorite Scene
Morgue scene packs a few laughs.

Learn the art of silence!

We humans have known to express feelings. We wanted to gain attention so much we rarely notice the people around us.

I was watching 3-Iron last night and I found out that silence can be so beautiful! Silence can actually sing. A musical score so wonderful you can hardly believe your own ears! Ask yourself, have you notice more than just details and expressions coming out of the face of the person that you’re talking to? Somethings cannot be tell. No words can express better than feeling what their heart is feeling. And I found out that being still and watch and try to listen to what their heart is trying to express can actually achieve a different click, a different connection between two persons.

So take sometime and open up your ears instead of your mouth. Hear the person deep down inside. They might be crying so hard that you never notice before!

“Silence is virtue.”

ps : Amazing, astonishing, astounding, awesome, awful, eye-opening, fabulous, miraculous, portentous, prodigious, staggering, stunning, stupendous, sublime, surprising, wonderful, wondrous and oh… the words to describe 3-Iron is just endless! A must watch if you ask me.
