Transformers3: The mooning of the dark side

Robots in disguise...

Looking past the holes in the plots the size of Cybertron,

I found the third installment of Transformers more bearable than the first two

Could it be because the change in lead women?

Is my banana showing?

Caught your attention eh...?

You'd think that after 30+ years (not yet 31!!!) on this earth,

I'd either have learnt to speak Chinese or gotten used to being a banana 

[for the uninitiated meaning I'm yellow (chinese) on the outside,

but white(gwai lo) on the inside]

And yet yesterday reminded me how in between both worlds I am...

Sense Or Sheep

Censorship in Malaysia has come a long way since my childhood days...
no longer are movies mercilessly butchered, all the wrong words silenced and there actually are differences between an 18 rated show and rated U....
and yet sometimes I wonder how far have we really come?...
have the censors really became wiser or just desensitised....
and then I come across this....

was out with the sheep watching a movie in GSC...
and of course the was the need to have the religious experience of the post movie bladder relief...
Even though this movie has been out a while, this is the first time I've seen this ad....
while admiring all the Photochopping on the poster (I don't think any of them look like themselves)
I noticed something about Sarah Jessica Parker ...

upon closer inspection.... I read

hmmm...
If censorship's job is to protect fragile minds before they're prepared...
isn't drawing their attention to certain anatomy counter productive?....
How Malaysian of them...

it goes PoP

for those born in the 80's... remember this game?

Prince of Persia...
well I recently managed to see the preview of the movie.. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

I usually try to lower any expectations when watching a movie...
and having the guy from Donnie Darko acting as the lead kind of kept me wary...

yup the odd guy from the bunny movie...

but since it was free I had no reason to say no...
it was hard to imagine that the actor that reminded me of tobey mcquire (yes the girly man actor that played spiderman as peter parker...) could turn out like this...

I'm a straight as an arrow... but I still find that pretty impressive....

Anyway about the movie it's a pretty much action packed story with.. well.. a story...
It got a little slow in the middle but all in all it was a good watch.
And even more impressive is the fact that Jake Gyllenhaal did a lot of his own stunts...

Due to its setting in Persia, it kind of reminded me a lot of Aladdin...
but I found the period settings quite realistic and well done...

and if it was not enough for the typical guy... this movie adds in eye candy as a cherry on top...
introducing Gemma Arterton.. definitely worth a second and third look

If you had to watch any movie this season... I'd recommend this... probably the best movie so far this year...
for more info you can read up on IMDB's Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

Watch it.. tell me what you think when it opens in cinema's tomorrow!
