the best animated movie ever !

the last unicorn ! how many people actually heard of this low budget production ? not many , i guess ! i just hate it when low budget movies go unrecognized ! just because they're low budget , doesn't mean its horrific ! i mean seriously people , just because it's low in buget , we just push it away ! well here's the thing , i bet you that low budget films are way better than the high budget ones ! coming back , this animation is actually the best i've seen in my entire life ! the first time i watched it was when i was 5 and then my vhs spoiled ! i searched and searched and searched all over malaysia and singapore but i still couldn't find it ! this is where e -bay came in ! i was so close to purchase it online when my mothers friend from u.s said she found it ! yay ! lets talk about the movie ! well, its about this unicorn which happens to be the last unicorn around due to the fact some evil dude (king haggard) summoned all the unicorn and banished them to the sea with the help of his red bull , a mythical creature that only appears when a unicorn approaches it ! hahahhaa ! the depiction of it is really cool . now we know where peter jackson got the idea to create the balrog from lord of the rings ! it looks excatly like that ! trust me ! so , this last remaining unicorn must save her kind and defeat the evil ! the story line is kinda cliche' the way i put it , but seriously its not ! the whole movie consists of its fair share of twists and turns ! uuumh ! the music is just out of this world ! the songs are all enjoyable and you are sure to sing along ! i know all the songs by heart ! uuummh ! leaving the music aside , the language used in this movie is so profound and melodious ! mia farrow especially ! did an awesome job ! christopher lee just does it everytime ! his works are so profound and inodious ! the art , however has this almost japaneesy animae kinda look to it ! not totally , but just the eyes and the colours used ! what else ? the dialogues are very serious ! they're not very humourous unlike the silly american jokes that just drives me up the wall ! basically , this is a sad and very serious cartoon that every child would enjoy ! sounds wrong , right ? hahhahhaa ! i assure you , even the adults would be in front of the television set ! hahhahahahaha ! oohh ! i have to point this out ! this is not a disney production ! to me disney has only managed to produced very few good movies ! and i just have to say that independent movies rule ! so , the last unicorn should be watched by every child and adult !

what do we think of the last air bender !


book 1 : water !

now , just when i thought this movie was gonna be bad (despite the fact that M. Night Shyamalan has never made a movie i hate ) , i thought the movie was horrific !

you see people , this is what will happen to one (director) when he out of the blue decides to make a movie based on an adaptation !

M. Night Shyamalan previous movies are all based on original ideas !

just to name a few , lady in the water , the unbreakable , signs , the village and the oscar nominated sixth sense !

Shyamalan usually has a flare when he does his movies !
you know that whole steven spielberg kinda thingy , but its not really that at all !

if you watched all his movies , you would notice that he is a man of twisted plots and i do understand the fact that i don't see twisted plots in the last air bender !
it is merely an adaptation of a cartoon and the main audience would have to be the kiddies ! the movie would definitely need to be simple and not too complicated !


leaving that aside , let's talk about the acting which just have to point out !

dev patel !
i know he starred in the oscar hit last year , slumdog millionaire ,
but here in this movie his performance was merely from the slums !
with his stiff body language and inability to convey the right facial exppressions at the right time , just made me wanna walk out of the cinema !


the rest of them were just merely terrible and i don't even feel like blogging about this movie !

see you !

what do we think of fondant !






fondant !
what comes to your mind when the word fondant is mentioned ?
hhhmmhhnnhh ?

spongebob ? mickey ? harry potter ?
well , that just happens to be my point !
you see , there are ample of stuff that come up to one's mind !
seriously people , when it comes to fondant , there is really no boundaries at all !

anything ! i mean anyting at all !
now , some of you might still be confused of the term sugar paste , marzipan , and fondant !

well , let me tell you those stuff i mentioned before are all so similar !
sculptures, molding , shaping and anything at all !
even fine art can be conjured with this fondant !

with it's stick but soft texture , it's sure to bring out the adventure within you !

those days , people used fondant for only and ONLY wedding cakes !
you know , those 5 tiered or maybe even 10 tiered cakes (which we saw at lisa menelli's wedding)

fondant is truly in a league of its own !

i remember i made my first fondant cake during new year !
it was a uuummhh cake shape in 2010 !
i know it wasn't that good , but i still enjoyed my time molding and applying it onto the cake !
i dont have a good picture but please excuse the "ugly me" in it !
hang on let me chew on this apple !

ok ! i'm back !
anyway , like i was saying , there's just too much to say about fondant !
really !
people , tell you what ... go and buy a pack of fondant and let your creative side out !
hahahhahaaa !
it's just too much of fun to miss out on !

oohh ! there was one time where a lady (shopaholic) . she loved designer bags so her husband made her a chanel cake bag , and that really was the dawn of this craze !
hahahhahaa !

right now , my brother is pestering me to make a spongebob cake for him !
i shall see what i can do !
till then , get your fondant on , people !
see you !

what do we think of inception


people , i have to say that when i heard chris nolan was doing a film with leonardo dicaprio , i was stoked .
well , maybe not stoked but almost there !
anyway , chris nolan , the director of many good films such as momento , dark night and many more never fails to impress me especially with his out of the world concepts and plots ! ( IT ALWAYS THICKENS ) .

ANYWAY IN INCEPTION , WE GET TO SEE HOW DREAMS ARE INTERPRETED .
I MUST SAY THAT THE DREAMS APPEAR VERY CONSTRUCTIVE AND NOT THE CLICHE' HAPPY AND MAGICAL THINGY THAT WE SEE IN ALMOST EVERY MOVIE ! THATS'S THE THING WITH NOLAN . HE EXCEEDS IN ORIGINALITY .

ONE OF THE THINGS WHICH I LOVE IN THIS MOVIE IS THE TOTEM !
I LOVE THIS CONCEPT !
A TOTEM , A TOOL THAT ENSURES WHETHER ONE I STILL DREAMING !
I WONDER WHAT MY TOTEM WOULD LOOK LIKE ?
I WOULD PROBABLY ASSOSIATE HARRY POTTER !
HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAA !
NEVERMIND !

ANYWAY , THE PLAY OF TIMING WAS ALSO VERY WELL EXECUTED IN THIS CONCEPT ! I LOVED THE IDEA OF THE SPEED OF TIME AT DIFFERENT LEVELS OF THE DREAMS !
IT'S TRUE , I MEAN I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN DREAMING FOR HOURS BUT IN REALITY IT WAS JUST A MOMENT !


INCEPTION , A PROCESS WHERE ONE PLANTS AN IDEA INTO SOMEONE !
DOESN'T THAT SEEM SO POSSIBLE !
HOW DO YOU THINK PEOPLE GET IDEAS TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL !
FOR ME , I THINK EXTRACTION IS IMPOSSIBLE !
AN IDEA THAT IF ONCE PANTED , IT SHALL REMAIN WITHIN US !
SOMEWHERE DEEP WITHIN OUR THOUGHTS !
HAHHAHAHAA !
I LOVE GIGGLING !
ANYWAY , CHRIS NOLAN IS A GENIUS FOR COMING UP WITH THIS CONCEPT AND I DARE SAY IT IS SO FAR THE BEST MOVIE I WATCHED THIS YEAR !

WOULD IT BE AN OSCAR CONTENDER ?
MAYBE !
YOU KNOW IN CERTAIN CATEGORIES LIKE , BEST MOVIE , BEST SOUND EDITING , BEST SOUND MIXING , BEST SCORE (ALTHOUGH I THINK HANS ZIMMER DIDN'T DO A GREAT JOB THIS TIME , OOOHHH MUSIC, I SHALL COME BACK TO THAT LATER ) , BEST DIRECTOR , BEST ART DIRECTION AND OTHERS !

THE ACTING WASN'T THAT ALL OUTSTANDING !
MARION COUTILLARD SEEMED VERY STIFF , BUT THEN AGAIN SHE WAS LOST IN LIMBO !
HAHAHAHHAA !
LEO HAD HIS DRAMATIC SCENES AS HE ALWAYS DOES !
ELLEN PAIGE DID AN OKAY JOB TOO !

NOW , FOR THE MUSIC !
MR ZIMMER , UUUMMH !

I HAVE TO SAY I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHO THE MUSIC DIRECTOR WAS BEFORE WATCHING THE MOVIE , BUT AS SOON AS I WATCHED IT , I KNEW THAT IT WAS HAANS ZIMMER !
THE THING IS I DIDN'T HEAR A SCORE FROM INCEPTION , I HEARD A SCORE FROM THE DAVINCI CODE !

MR ZIMMER DIDN'T DO IT THIS TIME !
GOSH , THE MUSIC WAS SO SIMILAR TO THE DAVINCE CODE THAT I WAS ACTUALLY MAD !
SO MAD !
REALLY !
ITS TRUE !
I GET MAD WHEN THE SCORE ISN'T GOOD !
UUUMMHH !
WHY DIDN'T THEY CHOOSE DANNY ELFMAN , OR JAMES NEWTON OR EVEN JOHN WILLIAMSTHE GREAT ?

THE ENDING MADE ME WONDER , IF HE CHOSED TO DREAM OF HIM BEING WITH HIS CHILDREN , WHY DIDN'T HE DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE !
HAHAHHAAA !
BUT I DID LIKE THAT ENDING WHERE THE TOTEM NEVER FALLS !


INCEPTION CAN BE INCLUDED IN ONE OF NOLAN'S BEST MOVIES !

what do we think of leonardo di caprio !



readers ,
i have decided to write about one of the best actors of our time !
yes ! it is non other than leonardo di caprio !

now , the reason i am doing this thingy here is because i feel that leonardo doesn't get the appreciation and recognition for his work !
It is an undeniable fact that he is a great actor !

you see , i'm not talking about the fans !nevermind the fans !
these days , people watch crapy movies !
i'm actually talking about the academy !

ok !
his first movie (the boys life ) it wasn't that great , i must say !
but he was great in it !
the academy failed to give him atleast a nomination !
why not nominate new comers ?(atleast leo was better than ellen paige when she first got nominated )!
then , it was WHAT'S EATING GILBERT GRAPE !
now , this is a must see !
he played a mentally handicapped boy (arnie grape) !
this was when he was noticed and the academy had to nominate him !
it would have been wrong and i mean very wrong to not have nominated him for this !
the question was ...
WHY DIDN'T HE WIN ?
WHY ?
WHY ?

i shall move on !
what about movies like the foot shooting party ?
or the quick and the dead ?
or total eclipse ?
all these movies have something in common !
what ?

OH YEAH !
HE DIDN'T WIN !
WAIT !
HE WASN'T EVEN NOMINATED !



WHAT ABOUT MARVINS ROOM ?
OR MAN IN THE IRON MASK?
ALL EXCELLENT PERFORMANCES!

I'M NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT TITANIC !
IT WAS JUST OVER-RATED THAT THE WHOLE ACTING THING HAD BEEN DESTROYED !
(Kate winslet was however still fabulous )!


cath me if you can !
the departed !
gangs of new york !

and then after so many years , Aviator !
HE FINALLY GETS AN ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATION !
AND AGAIN !HE DOESN'T WIN !


BLOOD DIAMOND EARNED HIM ANOTHER NOMINATION !
BUT DID HE WIN ?
THE TRUTH IS HE NEVER WON !

I JUST HOPE THE ACADEMY WILL SOON SEE HIS ABILITY TO POTRAY A CHARACTER !

REVOLUTIONARY ROAD IS MY SECOND FAVOURITE MOVIE AFTER ATONEMENT !
IT'S JUST CRAZY !
I CAN WATCH IT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN !
HHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAA !


SHUTTER ISLAND WAS COOL (THE LIKES OF MARTIN SCORSESE) !

I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE INCEPTION !
AND HOW IRONIC , IT ALSO STARS ELLEN PAIGE !
HHAHHAHAHAA !


ALL IN ALL , LEO YOU ARE THE BEST !
