movie review: the crazies
“THE CRAZIES” while you have read genocides that happened not so long ago, you have not seen masses of bodies piled up with caked blood and swamped with buzzing flies.
Review: The Book of Eli
Yet another one-man-show hero upholding Christianity faith and all that is good, while systematically disposing criminals and opposing all that is not good, in a post-apocalypse world movie…
All hail AVATAR!
rave about AVATAR by James Cameron – the best movie I’ve ever seen in my life
Does Harith Really Dunno?
Initially, I bought the tickets of Harith Iskandar “I Don’t Know” as a surprise for JC. But as days went by I was SO looking forward to this stand up comedy by the renowned Harith Iskandar. Douglas Lim, whom I have seen him on stage twice, featured the opening act. (Honestly if he’s going to sing ‘yesterday’ again I will throw anything I get my hands on at him!)
When the show started, I didn’t recognize the dude who’s wearing a moustach and red shirt and speaking in Malay. Then the ‘ceramah speech’ started – with a start I realized it was DL imitating Anwar! I particularly love his joke about the sodomy case – it was genious! I’m a loyal fan now! hoho.
After about 15-20mins the star of the show finally came out to entertain us. Harith joked about the irks and quirks of Malaysians, of Malays, of Chinese, of Indians, and we mortal went about in the usual days. The extremely funny bit was the CSI crime scene reenactment! It almost got me choked to death by my own laughter. Harith – you are THE BEST!
Harith’s jokes are very much to the heart, as JC put it, and I concur. His jokes can resonate with all Malaysians. That’s what makes him so popular, isn’t it? Good job! *clap*clap*
PS: The star metro’s phone listing for actor’s studio is wrong… it should be 03 2094 0400.
a quickie movie reviews
There’s nothing new about the idea itself but they did a good job putting it in perspective. Jim Carrey-esque style of comedy will not fail you when it comes to tickle your funny bone. More often than not the adults were laughing harder than the kiddos. Really love the small furry animal… can’t remember her name.
Good for any sort of age groups, at anytime. Just avoid going to the same cinema with babies (as if they really know how to watch the show).
It was kind of childish, really. Fun, nonetheless. Expect the normal magic, fairies, evil ogres, tunnels, a much sought after artefact (in this case, a book), with ordinary plots. The graphics are quite OK, and I kept wondering if those 2 boys are actually twins, or real-life brothers. Frankly, I have seen better fantasy movies.
Watch it if you are in the mood for some brilliant colours and fairytale.
I don’t see Kelly Chan’s acting improving, Leon Lai is fat now, and Donnie Yen is nothing but a side-kick. The idea of why men resist so hard to hand over the in-charge position to women is totally emphasized here – she will just drop everything and run away with her lover. And the love matching KL and LL is just wrong (somehow)!
Only to pay tribute to the beautifully manufactured armour.
I chose this movie instead of Shutter because I have seen the Jap version. I should have stick with Shutter. This movie aims to confuse you with bad story telling screenshots, seduce you with not so handsome or pretty lead roles, and lullaby you to sleep with a long and dreary puppy love story (who could have those kind of long-lasting feelings at 12?) The scariest bit came when a cockroach flew over me. Vietnamese Kitchen @ Jaya 33
One fine noon, my colleagues decided to check out the new Jaya33 building and have lunch there – that’s why we went to the Vietnamese Kitchen situated at the ground floor. (Jaya33 is a new commercial building which dubbed themselves as “The Hyperoffice” that uniquely combines office & showroom capabilities.)
It was packed with people and we had to wait for about 10 minutes before we were seated. It wasn’t a big restaurant, and the sound proof mustn’t have been good because the chatter of the diners actually make the whole restaurant abuzz with echoing sounds! Not that it affected the quality of the food in any case…

Introducing some of the nicer food:
You *must try* the beef noodles! I mean, just look at the chunks of beef swimming lazily inside the pipping hot flavoursome soup! The tribes could be a little softer but I’m not complaining.
Spring roll and fried chicken vermicelli
Stir fry seafood spaghetti – not too bad.
Stir fry noodles Vietnamese style – ok la…
the *free* spring rolls! Most delicious (and not because it’s free!)
Mind you, all the portions are BIG! If you are not a big eater, do share your food with your girlfriend or just give some to your guy friends haha.
Now here’s two cool refreshing drinks for you to try:
Sea coconut and red dates – just nice
My fave – basil drink. Really refreshing on a hot sunny afternoon.
And for the first time since I write reviews, there’s an actual map! Albeit with chock full of typo errors…
All in all, the food is generally tasty and although the service is a-ok only, I’d still recommend you to go and have a try! It’s not that expensive anyway.
So How Do I Rate It?
Food? 4/5
Beverages? 4/5
Service? 3/5
Price? 3/5
Promotion? free spring rolls!
