Congratulations to Magdeline and Carly for winning the Bruno movie tickets! You will each receive a double pass to watch Bruno when it comes out in the cinemas! I have emailed you for your address, so your tickets should arrive a couple of days after I receive your replies.
This is your last chance to win the tickets! All you have to do is to tell me HERE (or click on the poster above), Why you deserve the tickets (maybe because you’re as crazy as Sacha Baron Cohen, etc..), OR How you will promote the movie (dance crazy all night with your underwear, etc..)!
I have now extended the competition to midnight this Friday, 26th June. Don’t wait any longer! Click here to submit your answer!
I’m sure most people have watched the satirical Borat in 2006. If you haven’t, perhaps it’s time to go to the nearest Blockbuster and rent yourself a copy of the movie and get ready to laugh your way through the movie.
This year, be prepared for the most shocking movie ever by Borat star Sara Baron Cohen, as Bruno will shock, stun and tear audiences apart in fits of laughter. The flamboyant Austrian fashionista Bruno takes his show to America in this movie, and for once, Australian censorship board is rating this movie R18+, so get your fake IDs ready! (just kidding)
Watch this trailer:
If you can’t watch this trailer watch it here (there’s also a red band version!)

I don’t claim to be an expert in this field of understanding women, but I am going to provide 5 tips to understanding women:
She says that she doesn’t want flowers and gifts for Valentine’s because it’s overrated, but deep inside she would want them too. Simply because she’s a woman.
What to do: Get her flower(s) for that special occasion or no occasion at all. Get her the teddy bear. Get her something for God’s sake.
Myth: She doesn’t mind you going out with your mates for tea/drinking every other day.
Fact: She does mind.
You said something you shouldn’t have said. She remembers it. You’re doomed.
What to do: Watch your words.
Myth: A little coaxing and pampering and she’ll forget about how fat you said she was the night before.
Fact: The coaxing/pampering is only a temporary fix. The words you said are permanently etched in her brain.
Open that door for her. Compliment her. Just be a gentleman.
What to do: If you don’t know what to do, put your head in the toilet bowl, flush repeatedly.
Myth: Some girls are the type that doesn’t require the “lady treatment”.
Fact: Whether you like it or not, it’s not that hard to show the person you love a little gentlemanly side of yours occasionally.
Not every minute. Just at the right moments.
What to do: Eat your monitor if you don’t know what to do.
Every woman is born different from each other – looks, personality, figure, etc.
What to do: Learn your woman.

Pathology is a movie directed by Marc Schoelermann (whoever he is) and was released April this year in the UK. By mature, I mean anyone who can handle lots of violence and blood and sexual content. Drug use and obscene language are also present throughout the movie.
Pathology is rated 6/10 in IMDB as I type this (check link for plot), but I honestly think that it is underrated. I personally think that this is one heck of a great movie for horror/thriller junkies, with a strong plot and great, convincing performance by the cast.
With a total runtime of 93 sick minutes, I braced myself with the company of biscuits and corn chips in the freezing cold weather at three in the morning (I couldn’t sleep), watching how the medical students cut open bodies and kill their victims – and the movie somehow just managed to impress me.
I liked how I could not foresee how the ending will be and how the movie managed to make me think and kept my adrenaline level high. However, I must say that I did not quite like the fact that the movie seemed to have been fast-forwarded towards the end of the movie and it made me feel as though they (the director) were running out of film and managed to just squeeze the ending in, which was still, well done.
A note to purists of horror movies – this is not your typical horror movie where ghosts will jump out of the back dark alley to scare the bejesus out of you, but more towards movies like Saw.
Overall, I would say that the movie managed to deliver and is definitely one of the better horror/thriller movies out there. I give this movie 8/10 for its impressive plot and violence (and gore). In addition to that, I give this movie a 7/10 for its intensity of horror.
This is a review of Kung Fu Panda that L and myself had watched in Hoyts Cinema on Thursday. Unlike Malaysia, it was surprisingly easy to get the tickets for the movie although it was the opening day. Seatings are self-picked here, so there is no need to buy the tickets early for the best seats.
If you are still living in your cave, Kung Fu Panda is an animation action/comedy which was released this year in June. The movie as good as the reviews say it is; funny, action-packed, cute, educational. For an animation that runs 92 minutes, the movie is not too long that your bladder would explode nor is too short that your popcorn is not finished by the end of the movie. The run-time is just right.
One thing that caught my attention when the credits roll is that the voiceover was mainly by famous “celebrities”. Some names that caught my attention – Jack Black as Po (the Panda), Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu and Michael Clarke Ducan. It is really surprising to see the huge list of “celebrities” who are actually behind the voice. Not that I would get it, but I reckon that with an animation like this, who really cares about the voice behind the characters? Well, I personally don’t.
There is really no need for me to go through the plot as I’m sure you would have probably seen the trailer somewhere. Anyway, L seemed to have enjoyed herself thoroughly, laughing hysterically and not even noticing me coughing my lungs out when I er.. sorta choked on a popcorn for laughing too hard. Okay, you can stop laughing now.
To conclude, Kung Fu Panda was probably one of the few movies that I actually felt was worth my money watching on the big screens in Perth since I got here since end of 2006. Make sure this movie is in your must-see movies list this year if you haven’t watched it already.
I give Kung Fu Panda a highly recommended rating of 8.5/10.
Prince Caspian is a 140 minutes fantasy film which was adapted from C.S. Lewis’ children’s fantasy series, the Chronicles of Narnia. After having to watch the first film of the three, “the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe”, I had expected a lot from this second film.
Unfortunately, I must have expected too much from the movie. The four protagonists in the movie, or should I refer to them as “kids”, are nothing more but “kids” to me. Their acting appeared weak in the movie, especially in the first half of the movie. They failed miserably to convince me that they are the legendary “Kings and Queens” in Narnia.
On the other hand, the special effects are commendable, and location-wise, it was pretty aptly chosen for the scenes. The opening scene somewhat reminded me of Harry Potter, probably due to its train effect.
In terms of the plot, I was taken for a surprise when there was actually a twist in the middle of the movie, as I was expecting something more straight-forward for a Disney movie. However, that twist was killed by its ending war sequence that was far too short, like as though the producers were trying to cut down on their production costs or something.
Overall, it was a fun movie to watch with your family and friends, especially if there’s a little one aged 12 and under.
L gives this movie a miserable 3/10 (though she seemed to love every single bit of the movie), while being the much generous me, I give Prince Caspian an average 6/10. This means you can choose to watch this only if you have nothing better to watch.
