The Prestige..Brilliant!!!Thumbs up...


(move from MYZONE blog acc)
The prestige ..A movie made in 2006 which come across my mind a few times yet i never really watched it from head till the end..and today i have made it...i watch this marvellous piece of work thanks to the UM line (w/out competitors).
As to fill my lonely night in a deserted college,i guess a nice movie plays it role...
I m so grateful that this movie still capture an image or two in my mind so i finally streamed it to watch.

As for the result is brilliantly touching,i wont get to bed for not noting down my feeling for its...
Amazingly made,the whole movie squirming around two magician trying to out-wits each other,sabotaging each performance and dying to dig the secrets to each magic show tricks.

The casting was amazing,with both my favourite star...Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman...
i start to wonder how could i have missed it from the beginning..of course Micheal Caine the senior actor is really leading the audiences into the rivalry of this two young magician..or i should say three...(here the trick...there)...
not to forgot..Scarlett Johansson another added point to the movie...

The catchy thing is to believe the simplest thing on earths can make things complicated and full of suspend...sometimes things get better while kept simple...
Nice....strongly recommend..two thumbs up...bravo...

Public Enemies

This was year 1933 in America and this the time where people were having a hard time to find a living....This was the dark ages of economy in America..The WALL STREET CRASH..or GREAT DEPRESSION
(want dig more go google..very meaningful history to learn on)
But this was golden ages for people like...John Dilinger,Baby Face Nelson(personal think he look psychotic in movie) and some other...They all make living by robbing bank..lotsa losta of bank across country...And by that time banker not really a favourite for the public..so John Dillinger who rob bank become sort of 'Robin Hood'.....
The scene start with John Dillinger(Johnny Depp) held by a cop and handing him towards the jail and while inside the jail where the prisoners held kept are having their sewing chores,they actually got guns from boxes of yarns.In and out all perfectly plan,what to take to stop this "BIG PRISON BREAK"...However something bad did happen...And Dillinger' friend Walter got fired and die while escaping.....This scenario were significant in John later action.....
John Dillinger: We don't work with people we don't know. And you don't work when your desperate. Walter Dietrich. Remember that?
John 'Red' Hamilton: Walter forgot. When your desperate, that's when you got no choice.

Billie Frechette: They all looking at me...cause I m a girl with a three dollar dress sitting at here.
John Dillinger: Those people only look where people come from,but the important is where we are heading to....
All hero must have a clever,beautiful heroin at his side...this is what so called"Every sucessfulman have a woman in behind"..However,robbing is not really a good career... :-p
With no roses nor diamond,John succeeded in winning beautiful Billie Frechette heart..

Billie Frechette: I don't know anything about you...(sincerity is the best way to earn trust...this is what a real man do....)
John Dillinger: I was raised on a farm in Morrisville, Indiana. My mama ran out on us when I was three, my daddy beat the hell out of me cause he didn't know no better way to raise me. I like baseball, movies, good clothes, fast cars, whiskey, and you... what else you need to know?
(What kind of propose a lady who hope for other than a man sincerely let her know even his true identity as a Public Enemies...Big bank robber wanted everywhere)

Shouldnt have miss out bale....he is the head of a special forced assigned by J.Edgar Hoover in defeating and capturing all this bank robber..especially influential one 'John Dillinger is top on his list...
(This scene should be very heart pumping cause the cops break in and take John away..However funny things is...John called his 'little brother' as prince XXXX...sound kindda funny)
(The scene where he succeed in stopping the government to transfer him from Indiana to state Penn,his lawyer done a great job)
The whole movie is shot in a way that all the scenes are real and a lots of facial expression close-ups..and the gun firing sound damn real and the bullet holes present themselves effectively after the shot..)The director is trying to make u feel real and alive in the film...

After escaping from indiana jail...John make effort to gather with his love interest Billie...
(good bye my love.....due to some betrayal by the other villains in the movie...Bille got caught and ill-treated by a fat cops in order to dig information about John..so sad...)
awesome guts...this guy really got balls...public enemies inside police office....big claps for him..
ENDING....


(i hope those who wish to know what happen to our public enemies go buy ticket and enjoy depp and bale and cortillard aka billie nice performances..
and also enjoy how the crew work hard in creating the feel and objects of year 1933 background..salute them...
This film is definitely not a super hollywood effect film not big bang no boom no lots of computer effects like box office Transformer 2..but..enjoying good quality director and actor and actresses pour their best ..is overall worth watching..
Enjoy ;)

Hygience
Don't expect too much cause you need to learn to shut one eye down

Vendor machine sound so 'Yeah" but the product nothing great...
Want to read National Geographic but UM looks like unaware.....(tak beli...pun magazine yang bagui macam tu....)

This is UM..the place i stay...this is the life of undergradu-a....te

Somewhere over the rainbow....

(Taiping scene shoot by my daddy)
One lonely weekend..busy blogging....
Saturday attend a workshop...meet a perky fun speaker....
Sunday with a lazy,slumber state of mind...sleep till i miss my breakfast and lunch....
Oh...i will miss all this lazy,calm day soon....busy week coming ahead...

An old lovely song of from my favourite list"Somewhere over the rainbow"

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
And the dreams that you've dreamed of
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly,
And the dreams that you've dreamed of
Dreams really do come true.

Someday i'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melts like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
And the dreams that you dare to..
Oh why, oh why can't i?

Well, i see
Trees of green and red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And i think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

Well i see,
Skies of blues and, clouds of white,
And the brightness of day, i like the dark
And i think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying i... I love you.

I hear babies cry, i watch them grow
They'll learn much more than really know
And i think to myself
What a wonderful world.

Someday i'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
And the dreams that you dare to
Oh why, oh why can't i?

Imagination..How far can it goes??

This is a abstract painting drew by my dad a couple of years ago...What do think you see??
Blow your imagination....
Art is subjective....
Among the twilight glow of sky there hide a rabbit looking at a poodle(less convince)haha??

Fate...Decide it all..Story of rich dad,poor dad...


Spotted in Aulong Happy Restaurant ..a poor KKU was begging for food....however his/hers closely related feline friend going to be call for slimming and weight cut downs soon....
Reality of the world...those from slum area are struggling to get a decent,adequate life..but those from upper class just enjoy with what they have yet unsatisfied with what they own....

If one day i see no more slum-CAt..does it means no more poverty or...think....think....

My Daddy,Favourite Painters Childhood Prt 2.

Vincent Van Goth---Starry Night(perhaps Josh Groban's Vincent sound more familiar).A talented painter,Vincent my dad solo idol hehe...i think this is why he name himself as Vincent when young....
Vincent Van Goth is a Dutch Post Impressionist painter(according to wiki),erm i just know so far he is called the expressionism with a vast influence over the modern art.My daddy tells us story of Van Goth and his inspiration is come from the wood drawing...you can see that all Van Goth's painting are created with lines and spiral patterns if you relate it to a wood surface you will see the relation in it.
By listening to Van Goth stories..i still vividly remember about his insanity when getting older,he had a big argument with his painter friend Gauguin.Here is Gauguin self protrait...Gauguin earlobe got displaces(cut down) by Van Goth.If interested to know more stories just go google about it.

I still recalled that when i was about the age of 12, our home got our first PC..hehe...so my dad bought some educational cd which include a cd called the Art sth sth..(sorry forgot the name ad)
The whole cd is about art and interact with the user in a very fun and funny way.It educate us about art and feed in info of all of the masterpieces around the world. Which one of them caught my eye balls...Goya.....A master painter

This is Goya's The 3rd of May....a piece of very meaningful artwork....
Goya Oil Paintings- The Colossus
(spootted in newly bought painting books)
Goya,a Spanish painter and print maker regarded both as the last of the Old Masters and as the first of the moderns. Goya was a court painter to the Spanish Crown and a chronicler of history. The subversive and subjective element in his art, as well as his bold handling of paint, provided a model for the work of later generations of artists, notably Manet and Picasso.

p/s:thats all for the moment....
