Review:

This is a first for a movie review but I for one is very hard to please when it comes to movie reviews.  So lets get through this.  This movie turns out to be as I had expected it to be by watching the trailer.  Fortunately it was not a total let down, but just predictable.  The movie had very cliché characters such as the jock, the damsel, the heroin, and the dramatic hero.  It is a small cast of unknown actors and actresses.  The acting part were pretty bad and the filiming were pretty shaky at times.

Nonetheless, the movie does display some form of stupid / insane stuff that got the rest of the movie goers laughing.  Even though it was meant to be a thriller, its just became a time wasting movie for me.  Also I would not recommend those who does not like a lot of flashing lights because there are a lot of lights flashing (to imitate the lightning).

I shall let this movie slide without much hassle because there wasn’t much to expect and it was nice to get out of the house.

Score:

I give it a 1 star for effort plus 0.5 star for predictable twisted ending to a total of 1.5 star.

Notes:

Just a short note, this movie kinda solidifies some of my ideas for my story (which I intent to write).

Thanks:

A big thank you to Nusantara Edaran Filem and Nuffnang for giving me the opportunity to watch this movie.


Nothing Is Set In Stone

This is certainly the truth.  And truth be told, I have been vomiting a lot of words as of late for the lack of pictures on my blog.  It is no secret that I have been facing certain financial issues and thus the looking for a job mode.  And fortunately there are a few kind souls who offered means and ways to help me earn my keep.

This has lead me to apply for a position in a certain somewhere (which shall not be named, because I didn’t get in) earlier this month and on 21st of October I went in for an interview only to come out not getting the position.  Well, at least I live by my principles as well as holding true to what I live by.

So it is pretty much back to square one, only for the fact that I would be working harder towards the projects I have been receiving from my new employer for whom I work on freelance basis for.

On another note, since I am not accepted for the position, I would be back in joining the contests~!

Time to win some good stuff~!
