Movie Review : Tooth Fairy

It was a really stressful week for me last week so I've decided to hit the cinemas with my buddies...

The first movie that I watched was "Tooth Fairy"



And here's a short review:

What's Good
A simple movie for all to understand... very light... really doesn't induce your brain to do anything except to watch it till the end~

What's Bad
1. Looks like something that came straight of Disney's bottoms - the solid material.. not the farts
2. Cheesy dialogues + cheap story lines = 0% originality - it looks like a remake of something that's been done countless of times and never successful
3. Makes me wonder if the Hollywood actors are really desperate for money to actually sign up for such movie - Dwayne Johnson, Ashley Judd and Julie Andrews - what were you thinking??

Conclusion
DON'T watch this in cinema or even spend your money buying a DVD... If you want to watch this badly... just rent a DVD or download it from the torrents...

Human Rights vs Hypocricy

Before you read this post let me warn you...

Things will get serious

So...

I read in Yahoo! News last night which really made me question the world nowadays..

"The Islamic veil is banned in France"

Apparently it's for security reason

*scoff*

Now.. I don't know about you but this sounds like a violation of human rights to me...

You see... according to what most human rights or in this case women rights activists have been preaching...

Women should feel good about themselves and wear what they want to wear...

So much for practice what you preach

But what really makes me confused is this...

When same sex marriage is not accepted by certain people... they are the most close minded and human rights violators of all...

and when the strippers went out for work they have the "rights" to do so since its their body...

but now we have these Muslim women who's chosen to represent themselves as Muslims by wearing veils and they are not allowed to do so??

Don't get me wrong.. I'm not homophobic nor do I have a sentiment issues against strippers or those in sex business...

but all I'm saying is why can't these Muslim women have the same rights as everyone else?

One of my international friends had asked me before...

Why did I choose to wear headscarves at the age of 17? If it's a requirement for my religion... why didn't I wear it sooner?

My answer was this...

I did not just wear headscarves because I have to... I wear them because I want to...

I want to make sure that there's a part of me that is purely mine and only for those who are special to me... and apparently the idea occurred to me when I was 17~

The concept is the same for purity rings... you know.. the one that you wear when you took an oath of not to have sex until marriage?

Some took the pledge while others don't... the same goes for Muslims who wear headscarves and those who don't

We don't patronize each other because if you make someone do something unwillingly... the results will be devastating...

So my question is this...

When you preach for your rights without preserving the rights of others... does it makes you a hero, a paranoid or simply a hypocrite?

Movie Review : Bandslam

Rotten Tomatoes (RT) 2009 Golden Tomatoes Award results are out and I'm ready to keep myself up to date with the high rated movies I've missed. To those who doesn't know, RT is a critics' website that highly contributes to a movie ratings... basically, anything that has bad ratings here will definitely go down the drain despite the fact that sometimes critics can be, you know, mentally unstable.

On the opposite side, sometimes, movies that have high ratings might not get great reviews/responses from viewers and in this case - Bandslam. The critics went crazy over it but unfortunately the ticket sales were really low - thanks to Vanessa's boobies exposure weeks before the premier~

Anyway,

The movie tells the story of Will Burton, a school outcast that finally got to escape his miserable high school live in Cincinnati and move to New Jersey. Here he befriended Charlotte (played by Aly Michalka), a once stuck up head cheerleader turned people friendly and Sa5m - the 5 is silent (Vanessa Hudgens), a rebel who reads a lot and talks like a robot.

So, what happened next is they decided to form a band and compete in "Bandslam", a singing competition where the winner gets a recording deal. Of course they have their rival - the popular kids band - Glory Dogs and sure their band consist of the outrageous, weird but talented misfits in the school.

I know... you're thinking it sounds pretty much like hundreds of other teen flick movies that ever come out of Disney productions bottoms and such... Boring!

Think again

Trust me. This movie is not a typical teen flick. It touches on typical issues such as teen romance and high school douches and also sensitive issues like family, grieving, and secrets that really keep this movie miles apart from any other teen flicks.

The plot and character developments are beautifully crafted and the story line is just amazing... This movie also has probably the most epic kissing scene ever that is to me the most original I've seen yet.

Overall... this movie really deserves all the good ratings it's receiving and it's really recommended for those who are looking for high quality musical comedy.

Rubik's Fever

Let me introduce you to another weird/nerdy part of me

RUBIK'S CUBE ADDICTION


Yes...

I've been obsessed with the Rubes since I watched Will Smith solved his in the movie "Pursuit of Happiness"

Been practicing since then and my current record for the 3X3X3 cube is 51 seconds... yay!

And... I was really happy to solve the 4X4X4 yesterday!

The time??

Let's just leave it blank for now...

So, without further adieu,

Here are my Rubes


But something's missing here...

I left my ultimate darling 3X3X3 special edition white cube at home in Malaysia and I'm missing it...

Just so you know, the original Rubik's is great for beginners but it's really bad for practicing... the turns are just too stiff for me

Can't wait to get my white Rube back...

~Asah Pisau~

Thought I would like to share something that can't never be found in Malaysia nowadays...

I was really excited when I heard someone saying "Asah pisau.. asah pisau" passing by our house the other day...

Since all the knives in the house were blunt, we decided to give it a try...

The man was in his late 20's and he was carrying this "mini blacksmith's kit" on his shoulder...



His techniques in sharpening the knives were really mesmerizing...



He treated each knife like a samurai treating his katana...

To me, it was like being in one of Merlin's or Robin Hood's episodes...

Never thought I would experience something like this in my times and to be honest, I was really fascinated seeing someone at such a young age working passionately with something that pays so small...

This is truly a sight you can never find in Malaysia

Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The Lightning Thief

Hi.

My name is Raihana and I was a book addict~

I used to read up to 5 books per month during my high school times but now i found it harder and harder to keep up with the old habits and to be honest I kinda miss it.

So, being bored recently I've decided to head on to the bookstore to enjoy myself. It might sound weird but somehow I found bookstores to be soothing. Just being there is like an ecstasy.

But of course being a shopaholic that i am... life is not complete without buying something and I decided to buy a young adult novel called "Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The Lightning Thief" despite the fact that I have about 10 novels waiting for me to finish them at home.

There are mainly 2 reasons why I chose the book:
1. It's being made into a movie and the trailer looks awesome
2. It's insanely cheap! The hard cover collector's edition only cost me Rp54000 (RM22) - here's a picture of it
I read the book as soon as I reached home and I gotta admit that I'm seriously addicted to it.

It's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

It really took me to the times when I enjoyed myself reading Harry Potter and the genre is not very much different. It tells the story of Percy Jackson who discovered that he is a "half blood" - children with a God and a human parents. The adventure started when monsters started attacking him for being half blood. I haven't finished reading the book yet but I'm eager to know what's next.

I'll write the whole review once I've finished reading it but if you're considering getting yourself something light to read... this has got to be the book.

That's it for now and while I'm enjoying myself reading, I hope you'll enjoy your life as well...

~2010~

2010 is here!

Yay!

As part of my resolutions I'll be writing blogs again...

Surprised?!

Guess not cuz most of you are starting to get the hang of my disappearing acts now...

1. Saying that I'll write again...

2. Then disappeared for a couple of months or more...

3. And back again... then apologizing with the same reason - study (*scoff*)

(Repeat 1,2,3 multiply by 100 and you'll get my blog)

Well...

I think that's what makes my blog special...

The disappearing acts that no one else ever done...

And truth be told...

The disappearing acts are inspired by one reason and nothing else

-LAZINESS-

So, as part of my New Year Resolutions...

I'm gonna start writing again in hope that I'll be able to fill in with some updates at least once a week...

Armed with a new tagline and new layout...

2010 starts now!

Happy New Year minna!
