It was a fantastic sunday especially the companies I was with. Surrounded by beautiful hearts and minds .. and if you are reading this .. yes, it means you .. definitively .. :PAnyway, we watched Angels & Demons. Oh yes, the prequel of the famous Da Vinci Code .. yes Dan Brown .. and as always dark, vengeful, mysterious, almost mystic and > lo and behold, the revelation since the creation of man > nothing is more darker than the heart of an ambitious and selfish man ..
I am not going to give any summary of the movie, you can either watch the trailer, read the reviews or go watch it yaself (and only buy original DVD if you can afford it .. kuang kuang kuang).
On technicality, Tom Hanks (encore, clap, clap, clap) as always, superb performance, but getting slightly stereotyped - guess you can't be choosy when you reached a certain age (adoi, sendiri terasa, kah kah kah). The rest of them, I say only the assassin seems to stand out. I am very, very, very dissappointed with Ewan - helllooo, are you intimidated by uncle Tommy?? Even Sissy Spacek could act alot tougher than you, boohoo. Ah well, other ladies may disagree .. :P
The story line, once you see this, you read it all. Uncovering the secret code via statues of angels and demons, was not thaaat excitable .. too ezy peezy. Some funny stuff, nice light moments, non memorable though.
But I can't help smiling throughout the 3-houcher movie, for a totally different reason. I do believe the producers and cinematic creators are running out of creative juices to make believe, that science is above all ass .. all else i mean.
It is not about the truth or twisting the truth. Its just a matter of cut and paste facts, scribed with bloody murder and scribbled with drama here and there. One movie delivered to fanatic followers. But the most almost-green-barf-coming-out moment is when reading the angels and demons translation - oh come on!! - 'malaikat dan jin' .. please, genie = jin .. marah kaum kerabat nanti .. kah kah kah
Messages that they try to push is a bit crap-py too .. but hey .. I'm a believer of world-domination-corruption-humanity degradation-conspiracy-via-creative work (which includes movies and yada yada yada). And yet, somehow it aspires me to make a decision to partake on a risky journey (and thats a different story altogether in another space .. :P)
Cheerio .. and people of beautiful hearts and minds .. thanks again for accompanying this little ole lady

hahhahaha..can't agree with u more..
anyway, i fall in love with tom hanks again and again and again and againnnnn
yup, tom hanks may not be good looking .. but he is charismatic. He is not macho but he exudes confidence that make you want to put your head on his shoulder and pour our miseries and worries .. knowing he is able to soothe and resolve them for you ...
he is definitively more appetizing than cruise or pitt .. hehee ... well .. good things only happens in the movies ..
Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise???????
Mr. Pitt may be, but not Mr Cruise
Since when good things only happen in movie :)
well .. i guess mr pitt is a level higher than tom cruise because he is accepts angelina jolie and her broods ... apart from 'manufacturing' their own (sorry for the crude remark .. just that the lifestyle still not acceptable .. the poor children)
Anyway, won't you agree .. a real man dont really have to have 6-pack abs and as the stereo-type goes .. but especially as muslim man, it is their heart and intent of living matters .. materials should not be no. 1 ... :)
6 pack is for beer, not muscle.
Agreeeeeeeee
