Crazy About Twilight  

Posted by Wanie Idayu

Rated: PG13 Run Time: 2hr

Genre: Action, Horror, Romance
Starring: Kristen Stewart, Michael Welch, Robert Pattinson
Director: Catherine Hardwicke

What It's About

When Bella's mother remarries and sends her to live with her father in the little town of Forks, Washington, she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen - a boy unlike any she's ever met. Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance, for Edward is a vampire. But he doesn't have fangs, and he doesn't drink human blood, as Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy.


Watch The Trailer


My Intake
OK yeah well, this movie is way back in November 2008 but after watching it, I feel like I just gotta write about it. Heh.

This is how much I love this movie -I watched it TWICE (and going) and went and bought ALL 4 books in the Twilight Saga. Heh. Oh for those who don't know Twilight is an adaption of the novel "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer.

A lot of critiques are comparing the movie with book. Well, it's not supposed to be exactly like the book. How to cram everything in the book into the movie?? It should be an interpretation of the book. And having finished reading all 4 of it, I can safely say that -as cheesy as it is; the movie did encapture the essence of the book.

So what if Robert Pattinson (as Edward Cullen) looks intense, anxious & stressed all the time as some might say; with similarities as his character Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter. He is supposed to look & act like that. That is the actual character of Edward in the book. And Kristen Stewart as Bella is excellent. The character Bella is both vulnerable and strong, and awkward, and she played it really well.

However, despite the presence of vampires, those who expect an action-packed movie like "Underworld" and others of the sort; will be disappointed. Twilight is actually love-story with some action thrown in it, and not the other way around. Some interesting action scene would be when Edward first saves Bella from a crushing truck, the baseball game and when the vampire are trying save Bella from the blood-thirst vampire who lust after Bella's blood, just for the sport of it.

I love romance, action & fantasy movies. Since this has a little bit of everything, it's just perfect for me. :) So for those who loves romance movies, don't miss this.

All in all I'm, giving this movie



Can't wait for the sequel "New Moon" which is expected to premier November 2009. :)

Director: Andrew Stanton


What It's About

It tells the tale of a robot left behind to clean up Earth while the human race bides its time in space, waiting for machines to fix the mess they've left behind. The year is 2700, Earth is no longer habitable due to excessive garbage and polution. Human now have to live in outer-space and the government implements robots WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) to collect and dipose garbage. For hundreds of years, WALL-E has been taking out the trash, and collecting precious knick-knacks in order to stave off the boredom of his dreary routine. Little does WALL-E realize that he has recently stumbled onto a secret that could save planet Earth, and once again make the ravaged planet safe for all humankind.


When highly advanced search robot EVE makes friends with WALL-E and realizes the value of his remarkable discovery, she excitedly races back to let the humans know that there's hope for their home planet after all. But after centuries alone in space, WALL-E can't stand the thought of losing the only friend he's ever known, and eagerly follows her into the deepest reaches of space on the adventure of a lifetime. Along the way, the friendly trash-collecting robot who has always known what he was made for gradually begins to understand what he was meant for.

My Intake

I watched this movie last Sunday (17 Aug'08) and I reaaaaaaaaaally love it! Although it has very "little to say" (you'll know what I mean when you watch the movie ;)), but it manages to convey the message. It is a very, very sweet with light-hearted humour. You will find yourself feeling good, smiling, uplifted and in high-spirit when you left the cinema. Trust me, you will like it. I would 110% recommend it. :) Bring your girlfriend / boyfriend, friends & your whole family to see this movie! The children -they simply love it, I can hear them shrieking with laughter in the movie, and they keep imitating WALL-E speech. Heh. Very cute!

Oh, I will only not recommend it to a cynical & bitter person, who don't know how to enjoy themselves. Heh.
I'm giving this movie

Movie Review -Meet Dave  

Posted by Wanie Idayu

U, 95 mins

Genre:Comedy,Science Fiction
Director: Brian Robbins
Cast: Eddie Murphy, Gabrielle Union, Ed Helms, Elizabeth Banks, Judah Friedlander

What It's About

A massive fireball from space hits New York's Central Park and an ordinary man emerges unscathed. The man turns out to be a spaceship operated by 100 human-looking aliens who are one-quarter inch tall and seeking a way to save their planet.

My Intake

I don't really like Eddie Murphy so I'm not really excited to see this movie. But since I got free tickets, I might as well just watch it. I mean how bad can a comedy be right. Even if it is a "lawak bodoh", the least I can get is a laugh or 2.

Suprisingly, this movie is really funny and not overly done like other Eddie Murphy's movies. It is lightly amusing and sweet.

Watch it if you want a good laugh and want to ease out your stress.

Don't watch it if you're a heavy drama buff who don't appreciate a light-hearted, illogical, 'funtasycal' kind of movie.

I'm giving it:

Movie Review -21  

Posted by Wanie Idayu

U, 122 mins
Genre: Action, Drama
Cast: Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth, Laurence Fishburne
Director: Rober Luketic

What's It About

The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions to tell the true-life tale of six genius students who used their brains to beat considerable odds. Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) is a shy but genius M.I.T. student, who needs to pay for his entry to Harvard Medical School. Micky Rosa (Kevin Spacey), his professor discovers his brilliant mind, decided to recruit him to join his team of extremely gifted students who have used their mastery of numbers to beat the odds at blackjack, who heads to Vegas every weekends armed with disguises and fake identities.


What I Like


The notion that we can actually "cheat the system" is really intoxicating, and what makes me look forward to their visit to Vegas again and again. And the suspense on whether they will get caught.

What I Don't Like


That Micky (Spacey) mentors his proteges on the joys of self-indulgence, but an show a sudden abrupt switch in his demeanor which is shallow and unconvincing. And we never do learn why it is that with the foolproof system Micky's been employing for decades, he's still toiling in the classroom rather than sipping boat drinks in the Bahamas.

Plus, Kate Bosworth as Jill Taylor is little more than window-dressing here, while Sturgess is merely adequate as the naive young genius seduced by corrupt influences.

Final Verdict:


In the beginning it is really exciting but the plot slows down and got a bit boring in the middle. But all in all, this is an entertaining movie. I don't regret watching it. Watch it if you like playing with figures, blackjack and gambling, or "dream" of "richness". Odds are you'll enjoy yourself

I'm giving it
