Movie Review, the Indy way: 28 Months Later




3 words! Absolutely fuckingliciously awesome!

From the creation of Alex Garland, the writer and creator of the emptiness British Isles and 28 days later managed to scoop up the horror of rage at its utmost killing spree to a sequel! It’s a pity that both Alex Garland and Danny Boyle, who directed 28 days later, didn’t make the continuation but a reasonable attitude if you don’t like directing second servings… but instead, he became the producer of the film.

Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, a selected director to do the film have successfully deliver the same intense, thrilling adventure…times a billion!! The shots were absolutely amazing, the sights and scenes were magnificent, and the characters are so in-depth and realistic!! GOD DAYUM~


Juan Carlos Fresnadillo in action!

The characters in this story reveals the inner subconscious of the desperation and instinct to survive. The realism combining all elements in the film structured to the unknown limits where such thing can possibly exist. Makes the audience to say things like "shit…whoa…oh man, WHAT THE F@#$?!"

Watch it!!

-----------------------------------------SPOILER ALERT!!---------------------------------
(close your eyes! it's contagious!!)

Well what can I say bout’ this film; it still had it horror and thriller chases but captured in new and improved perspectives. When in a chase scene, you can feel goosebumbs as the ‘rabies’ people (technically, they aint’ zombies) chase down the survivors such during the intro of the film, Don (my favorite character) the main character, (the father of the 2 puppies (kids)), being chased to the river. Every turn he takes to look back, we see through his eyes as the shots taken were the raging people aggressively run after him. This gives a sense of realism that it looks like a very shitty situation.



"O shit, O shit, O shit, O shit....!!!"


I agree with you Don!

Speaking of the intro, unfortunately, it was only the best and my favorite scene of the movie. The intro of the film touched on the logical and desperation of survival base on our human physical minds of the real world. It didn’t had those hero sense where one kicks ass a heap loads of blood sucking people, but normal people kicking others for sacrifice to give themselves the chance to live! Instead of people leaving behind to save others, they run far away! OH man, that is so TRUE. Cause I know, I would.



"WAIT!!! I HAVE TO USE THE TOILET FIRST!!!!"


"Fuck that, let’s run!!!"

And some people stilllll~ had dignity to become a hero again… but they know they will die! So realistic! ‘Fear’ within the characters was the main course, the number one-a o’k! in this film.



Yea thats right, leave the kids behind! Have no mercccyyy~!



"Hey theres something out-- lkdsjfksdjfkjdkjfkdsjf!!!aaaaahhhh!!!"

Zombie: (slurp slurp) "ccchhiiiiiggzazabukakkakakloiughjewwwiiiii"

I like how which characters die and which don’t; or they think they’ll live, but they didn’t! =) smiley face for that! I like how there was an older sister then an older brother, it gives us the sense of being less vulnerable. Imogen Poots is hot!



Imogen Poots = zombie's wet dream

Rose Byre is ok-hot, I like her cause she was on Sunshine as well! =)

Rose Byre - ...meehh.


What I didn’t like, the fucking American soldiers. Not being racist, but they went overboard when they wanted to start killing everybody! Here were the mistakes following through timeline sequences:



i) WHY the fuck would you keep 2000 or more people in an isolated area with no security… even if they were sacrifice to drive the raging people there…huh???

ii) I understand the fear of the general want to kill everyone...because he's a pu**$&, again realistic, but give your soldiers some sense and stop killing the innocent. Especially in obvious locations like the dark scene and the sniper shooter. Oh wait, i forgot "Code Red...". Sarcasm. The Raging people wouldn’t care to hide cause they’re mental….(or would they?)

iii) OH MY GOD!! LOL HAHAHHAaha, I laughed at this so much—when the Apache, the leading killer machine in the world, (it’s a helicopter, yes mightier then a jet, one of these babies can take down 11 tanks 2 miles radius….in less then 2 mins) can’t shot down a freaking car…

A CAR!!! Whats even more stupid, IF, the pilot thinks he’s killing either raging people driving a car. Or just following orders.

Little did they know, that raincoats may not be the best armor protection...

iv) Helicopter flies to France…from London…I think that’s too far. Plus, what makes the French any better? The French almost eat anything; snails, but what if they became raging people?

Now I know I might forget to mention others but when I watch it with my sis, she said Don, the first guy to get infected was stupid enough to kiss the carrier of the virus… Well again realism. If you love one survive an explainable situation and thought never to see him or her, you know you want to kiss him or her. He could be blinded by his guilt and love.

Movie Verdict: A-

Well that wraps it up. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, the director, made an excellent job empting out London and created fantastic shots of the film. The characters and relationship in the film is so real and really in-depth. Very thrilling experience, and hope they don’t make another squeal because its just better sometimes to stop there.

"And now, 28 Months Later: Only five remain on earth. How will these peo--

ok, now it's four people..."


28 Months later, in Paris sounds cool though! I want to cast in it!!

Peace!

What?! I’m back, f’ing awesomeness!!!

Let me just spend one moment and list out the things which I wanted to post between the last post till now:

1) School year 11 disco
2) Blue’s café gig by Mota and rave by Dj GN
3) BGIC
4) 4 new movie posts
5) Exams
6) NEW photo posts
7) Other crap…

Yea, a lot I guess. So here’s a one word verdict for each point.

1) Awesome
2) Spectacular
3) This deserves more words, new friends, fun debate, miss school…whoa
4) Good. OK. Mehh…. WOW!!!
5) AAAAaaaagggggggghhhhhh
6) SWEET~!
7) Crap.

Anyway, the point of this post is the return of moi and the IGCSE or Edexcel is almost over. Like, in one week or less. So im settling for the coming summer which a lot of things I’ve planed. But there is one particular thing which im in a crazed about…

A new room. My new bedroom.

I’ve always have an obsession of showing off what I have, if it was really cool, so every year during hari raya, my obsession is to have the coolest room. But I was struck down by my cousin, Abang Barak, last year. So I raise his challenge this year.

GLADIATOR STYLE!!!



...




...




No. Actually I’ve planed for a new bedroom ages ago. So here’s the deal:






Ya' see, this is my Terrance. It’s quite large so im gonna positioned the room taking a third of the floor space here on the right side of the photo.





This is the view of what the room will have. Cool huh. The thing is, I like the view so badly that im willing to build a room as small from 9.75 by 19.5 feet. Believe me that’s small. Even my maid’s bedroom is twice the size larger. But its worth it. Cause half of the room’s walls are large, kick ass, windows! And finishing the room with another, kick ass, glass roof!





These are the stars and moon I would be star-gazing from my new floor bed.



This would be my natural alarm clock, the sunrise. This room would be facing directly to the sunrise that at exactly 6.10 a.m is the time to wake up. That’s perfect before going to school. And yes, it’s that ambient and breath-taking.




And equally with sunsets like this day...

Or this day.

Or even this day.

The room entertainment? Well im hoping to get hold of my bro’s sound system since he’s buying heap loads of gadgets and consoles in U.K so that’s cool. Hopefully I can manage to get my hands on a projector so I can, yet again, taken my bro’s DvD system. This room is fitted with wooden plank floors that you see in IKEA and a low coffee table with a couch…

Then there are others like closets, full body mirror, table, bookshelf, cupboards if needed etc, etc. My point is that im building an ambient, chill out room. But off course, there are needed things like THIS!



A passage way?! No, its part of my future room: a wall will be facing this photo in the future. Yes, an f’ing wall!!!!! WALL!!! OH MY GOD, YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?!?! A 6 foot by 8 foot wall right behind one part of my soon-to-be-bedroom!!!. for graffiti. im still dodgy though.

Ok. I really don’t want to extend this blog to far. I still have lots of things to do for the coming holidays which I wanna share. Like getting my new skates, my cousins from England first visit to Brunei, my bro coming back, TRANSFORMERS, games, Singapore TWICE, maybe K.K too, I dunno if Hamish is still up for it for me taking photos of his gigs, J.P, Mall – Gadong and shit loads more.

Peace!

FLASH BACK: End of mock exams!

Cause i was super skilled in organizing, i knew i had to jot'd down the night after the exam being all cool and fun that nigh on.... Friday night of 19th January. Long eyh? well here it is anyway:


19th January


No doubt it has been one of the good weekends I had this year. Starting off with the mocks finishing on January 19th and celebrated it with an outing to gadong! Met up with Cynthia, Magaret, Nigel and Denish at the mall in chills where we hung out a little until Hamish and the gang came.


Cyn and Mags: “So, 20 mins HUH?!” ( I was 40 mins or more late)


Me: “yea, my bad. Ran over a little girl’s cat. Crazy huh?”


Cyn and Mags: “oh my god! Really?”


Me: “No, but it would be the best excuse eyh?”


Kinda split up for a while just to meet Grarey and the “Gooks” - - haha - - at rainforest. Ironically, all the guys there acted like fucking mental apes especially when they got shot or killed both on CS, Dota or warcraft. Mad, i tell you. Well, since I was there, might as well play for an hour. So I sat to play warcraft with the guys where. Basically, I didn’t know what the fucking hell I was doing:


Grarey: “OK!... First, click on the screen to select your position where you want to build.”


Me: “ok, easy enough…”


Grarey: “Now, click on the race you want to be and create an area and base out “dipshit”.
(I used that name for my player name… next round I used “Fuku guys”)


Grarey: “Now create this, your holy builder and create holy towers in this line of area to block and destroy the incoming evil forces which come in waves so build as much fucking towers now and use all the gold you have. Later, when you earn more gold, build more! Now create holy guards for more defense where later all these crazy bitches are going to grow stronger. So! All together just to protect this damn ship ok?”
(how sad of me to memorize something like that….)


Me: “ok…easy enough- -


LJ and Rif: “WTF adam! Common man, build towers and shit, your destroying us”

(they’re already sad)


I told them to fuck off. Later, Cyn and Mags were there just to laugh at me. In the end, Nigel, me and the two girls just sneaked off to mall where we again met up with Hamish and the rest of the guys to watch “Kuntlianak”. Supposed and predicted to be a scary cool Indonesia film from Hamish’s thoughts but as we enter, the movie had NO English subtitles. Yea, sure, I manage to keep up with the film but I had to translate for the two girls and Yu Foong….


Good film though, not scary but good story line, structure and plot. Stupid ghosts and midgets ghosts sucks. Break-dancing before they kill, well they didn’t kill the main character. Just the arms though cause the legs where horse’s legs.


Overall movie verdict? “ C- ”.

Pros: Nice looking college girls. Guys and characters names sounded gay; makes it a comedy - (“Sam…SAM” “AGung? AGUNG??” “Dinda….” “Bu Yanti….palui”). Storyline. Oh yea, our group left the cinema laughing cause Hamish screamed at the very last part. Funny!

Cons: No subtitles. Cheap ghosts. Stupid camera shots; blurring, zooming and turning too much. Ending sucks. Not as expected.


UPDATE!! : I knew it! I told Cyn the main character (girl) named Sam was hot. She looked at me with disgust (dunno why) but turned out her name is Julie Estelle and she’s a model for the Indonesia Playboy magazine. No wonder she was giving a lot of sexy stares and poses. Too good to be true as a normal Indonesian. She’s Eurasian. in fact, all the actors and actress were...I like! (no racist comment please)

We split up (again) where me, Cyn, Mags and Denish chill out at chills again. This time, is was cool and literally chilling! Nice breeze, cool chill out and nu-groove or jazz genre music playing, having drinks; just talking and chatting: definitely my type of socializing! Felt like one of those side cafes at KL or Singapore, just chilling and looking at people and cars and late night with all the music and drinks also the breezes! Fucking awesome!


In the end we had to leave to meet up with Hamish and the gang cause of girls issues. These girls named yellow(?) and … I forgot; were bugging Hamish to make out. With another guy. George was willing to from what I heard. It was drizzling by then so back inside the mall to chill at West Street. Chat a little more before I met up with the add-maths people. Wow…angel and Ken outside the school. Never seen that before…. That’s where I met Bakh, Haziq, Isa and Hafiz (correct me if I didn’t get the name right: also my bad if I did) and their Jis friends. They were leaving to DeRoyale café at Bandar so I joined them for a closer ride home.


Bandar was drizzling by then. At least it aint heavy. We went there cause they wanted shisha. Again, outside with the cool rain and breeze, drinks (water…with lemon) and chatting away. I was quite most of the time cause Haziq and Hafiz (correct me again) were the only two I knew. Shisha was a bit off though, pity. The two Jis girls was fun to watch as they fool around while the Jis guy had really cool rings. Had fun and in the end, left at 11.30. To wrap it up, it was really a cool night. A very chill out night. Damn that was good night!

Prologue

What's up people!

Yea, i guess you can say the site is abit 'queer' but reminder to everyone, its new. Templates have been my enemy for the last 2 weeks but i cant blame it if i suck at websites. Anyway, im just relief that the blog is working with the photo album - which sucks as well -, hopefully, get everything sorted properly to my likings..... in 3 weeks.

Yea, alot of work have been shoved up in the ass with Drama, English, and ICT making me feel constipated... but enough complaining before this becomes a crappy blog!


Well, apparently ‘Heroes’ television series has hit Asia yesterday with only 13 episodes o and ongoing in America! Wow! Now that’s amazing. But is it all amazing? Here's my verdict: 9/10

Heroes's pros:
Its an awesome series no doubt; with good DC comic, heroic action added to it. The plot, storyline and characters are wicked: it has that twisty feeling that you know which character is the bad guy but turns out to be alright or cool! So far, its my favourite series after LOST. Yes, i like LOST and you suck if you don't.

Heroes's cons: Almost nothing... if you exclude all the freaking HOLD-UPS! The series tend to hold up each episode when something really and extremely interesting is gonna happen which can last for at least 3 - 4 episodes. Well, i have no patience! For instance, 'Hiro', the Japanese character supposedly who can stop time has to wait four episodes before he demonstrates his ability. This gave one mark away cause i love DC and Marvel comics... I suppose its the building of excitement which sucks alot cause you cant get it every now and then from the series...

Conclusion, if you're a 'smallville' fan, you'll love Heroes more. If you love LOST, you'll LOVE Heroes more. If you're neither and prefer to watch Friends or Grey's Anatomy (which rocks too) YOU will love Heroes! Watch it! its Good! How do i know? simple! I will show it in terms of a maths equation:

Heroes = (Smallville - no soap opera) + (Lost x characters interests) - Friends + ya' mom. JOKES!!

P.S: My blog wont be like this all the time. Meaning, not talking bout series and shit. Only reason i did this is cause i dont have anything to say just yet...

ANYWAY! That's all for now.
