I guess the death of talented actor Heath is still vivid in our mind..this was his last movie "the imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus".
In the present day, immortal 1,000-year-old Doctor Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) leads a traveling theatre troupe—including a sleight of hand expert, Anton (Andrew Garfield), and a dwarf, Percy (Verne Troyer)—that offers audience members a chance to go beyond reality through a magical mirror in his possession.[4] Parnassus had been able to guide the imagination of others through a deal with the Devil (Tom Waits), who now comes to collect on the arrangement,[5] targeting the doctor's daughter (Lily Cole). The troupe, which is joined by a mysterious outsider named Tony (portrayed by Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell),[6] embark through parallel worlds to rescue the girl.[7] (from wikipedia)
Due to his sudden deceased, his role is carry on by Johnny Depp, Colin Farell and also Jude Law that make this another additional point to watch .. Let us mourn for this great actor and pray the best for him...Malaysia still yet to confirm the premier date but this Christmas America will be in the memory of loving Heath.
Recently, 15 Malaysia is being a popular thing among the community...so what is it about?? 15 Malaysia is a short film project.... They tells stories...stories that so near to our life... The social-political or even humanity .... If you live in Malaysia or you are Malaysians... shouldn't have missed this great works from all the local talented film makers....the voices of Malaysians... Here some recommended short films to be watched..
This is HOUSE(most recent update,reflect on the minority such as indians)

District 9...a movie i didn't plan to go watched,but G.I Joe is damn expensive in my hometown cinema so despite paying the ungraded cinema for 10 bucks i pick on district 9 which cost me 7 bucks....The story start here...
This is the town of Johannesburg,South Africa..(backgorund of apartheid incident which inspired the film)here a place called district 9 is occupied by several million of Alien refugee who stuck on earth for 28 years...
Imagine 28 years.. what have they done to earth ad???
Invading us???hrmm,unlikely cause rumours said they are somehow not the wiser one among the community...
so instead they been eating on our junk
Obsessed with our earth's marvellous product---Cat Food....which makes them vulnerable to gangsterism....Prostitution...Weapon(super super advance weapon)....producing offspring....
So the MNU (Multi-National United) have decide to make changes by
RELOCATING.....(forcefully?Voluntary?)
A guy is specially assigned in this BIG Misson.His name is Wikus....
WIKUS: Hello Sir,I m wikus van de merwe from MNU...we would like to ask your favour to sign this paper and evacuated urself within one day.....
ALIEN aka Prawn: Do i look like i speak English???
(The transform of Sharlto into honest looking Wikus)
Mr Wikus aka Sharlto Copley is first time starring in movie..and he actually improvise all the dialogue himself......He live in south africa..I think the speaking accents reflect it ...i suppose....
This is Mr.Chrisopher Johnson which i personally don't think is his real name....
He..I personally think is a creature which combined Davy Jones's Mouth and Gollum eyes escpecially.( take note is the kind and confuse gollum)
Mr. Chrispher appeared to be a wiser one among his community and along with his son (i suppose) have been planning on escaping earth and had been working hard to make it possible.
But by the time Mr Wikus and his team comes to evict them, he actually suceeded collected a significant amount of 'Fluid---alien fuel'(i suppose) to activate their mother ship....
No to mention they live in slum area but they also being treat inhumanly (of course they are alien not human)...violently treated and living in hostile place.....So,this unknown object (the fuel) is confiscated by Mr.Wikus but....something happen during the process..
Which make you wonder what the heck is inside the container??Fuel??or??Genetic injection for transformation...
Imagine today you and your team have been into district 9 to evict those poor inhabitants in district 9...but Tomorrow you are no more your kind and you are partially those who you been bully on yesterday...
And you need to hide among them,eat like them to survive....
Get to know more how a normal human can turn to be a Alien with some spray of their Fuel...
(is science fiction so anything can happen)
Go watch district 9 at you nearest cinema
anyway prepare some puking bag or be prepare to feel some nausea...
(my friend's friend puke when watching...)
Be ready ;-)
Overall worth watching.... :-)
This is the alien story which made into a short fake documentary before district 9 is made
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...
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..
