Paranormal Activity 2 review

I've wrote about the new movie in by earlier post. Paranormal Activity 2 is a sequel (or prequel) depends on how you see the movie. If you haven't seen the first movie, you wouldn't understand a few parts and the last part of the movie. However, you don't have to see one, just google or search on wikipedia about the movie, you can read the plot there.

So, the simple summary of this movie, Kristi just movie in to her new house with husband, stepdaughter, Ali and her son, Hunter. At first there was nothing significant happen, but after looks like a burglary in the house, Kristi's husband, Dan, decide to put on several cameras to monitor the house. Little that there know, it was more than human that destroy their house that day. After several weird incidence, Ali and Kristi believe the house is haunted, Dan, however remain skeptical. This all change however when something happens to Kristi that even Dan can't deny it anymore. So Dan decide to "exorcise" the demon. The family life change forever from that moment. You have to watch the movie to know the rest of the story.

I'm gonna be frank about this one, unlike the first one, this one has a lot more people in it, which to me is really great, because we got to see more interactions and more acting. Plus, in this movie, we got to an idea about why there's a demon that haunting Katie(from the first movie) and Kristi even when they were young (it has to do with first born son).

There won't be any major spoiler here, don't worry, you can spoil yourself by reading about it on the internet.

However, unlike the first movie, there aren't a lot of haunting in this one. Most of the haunting only happened at the second half of the movie. There wasn't any REALLY scary moment, but there are some moment where you definitely jump from your seat, HEHEHEHE.

In this movie, the classic tactic of scaring people is apply, much like the first movie. The elements of darkness and silence before the big BANG is how you scare people. This elements work in the first movie, and the sequel.

There are rumours about alternate endings, I won't spoil the ending for you, so you guys have to watch it, and google it.

I gave this movie a 3/5 stars, because of it's somewhat working scariness, and originality, but still the same story from the first one. So watch it when it hits cinema near you!

Paranormal Activity 2 trailer

From the original writer of Paranormal Activity, here is the trailer for their upcoming sequel, Paranormal Activity 2. Well, it's kinda like a prequel to me. Why? Well, because the girl Katie, in the first movie, is I think younger here, which means, the event in the second movie was before the event in the first movie. Make sense?

From what I gathered in the internet, the movie still about Katie, the main character in the first movie, and how this one explain about the ghost that's been haunting her since her childhood, and lead to the first movie.

Anyway, watch the trailer, for more stronger effect, close all your light, and use your headphones, hehehehe.

The Social Network Review

The movie in 1 word was AWESOME! I don't want to oversell the product here, and just let you guys down, when the movie hits theaters here, but you have to seriously watch the movie.

I know the movie was a documentary, and I thought it was, you know, made like a documentary-ish type. Boy I was wrong.

For those that didn't know, The Social Network is documentary movie about the founder of Facebook.com, who is also the youngest billionaire to date. It tells the story of Mark Zuckerberg, and how he stole, cheats, even lie to get Facebook up and running today. However, there are a lot of drama, some are legal and pretty hard to understand while sometimes it's so screwed up that you just feel you want to go and punch Mark's face (seriously).

Don't get me wrong here, it's not like he's the bad guy..well maybe he is, but he's doing it because he was dump by his girlfriend, yes that's right. Although, do you know the real Zuckerberg didn't like the movie because of this?(I don't know if it's true), but it did shows that he really love Facebook. hehe

Anyway, the movie was great thanks to the great actors and actress in the movie. Jesse Eisenberg acting was top notch, I don't know if the real Mark is like that, but if he was, than he's an asshole. No really, he is. This is why the tag line for this movie is "You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies", well said. Why is he an asshole? Well one, he disses his girlfriend, two, he screwed his best friend, and three he doesn't give a f**k. Hahaha

Nonetheless, Facebook has become the most popular social network next to myspace and friendster. Watching this movie, will tell you how the social network become so popular, it's all about exclusivity. I don't want to spoil the movie for you, so you have to watch to understand.

It's a solid 4/5 stars. Watch it when it hit theaters near you.

the song in the trailer is from Creep-Radiohead, but was sung by Scala and Kolacny Brothers, here they are live.

Restoran Sekinchan Ikan Bakar

Pernah dengar nama kedai makan Restoran Sekinchan Ikan Bakar tak? Tak pernah? Aku pun baru dengar. Restoran ni, macam nama dia menyediakan makanan laut yang dibakar, takde cara masak lain kecuali di bakar. Kerang bakar, ikan bakar, ketam bakar (get the picture?).

Makanan yang di bakar tak berapa berbeza dengan cara bakar ikan yang lain, yang menyedapkan makanan bakar adalah asam yang disediakan. Memang tak dinafikan makanannye memang sedap, tapi ada satu je kekurangan, harga.

Kedai ni memang mahal. Hampir semua jenis ikan RM7 per 100 gram. Now, if you a regular at supermarket, you would know that this is really really expensive. Tapi tak salah kalau nak merasa sekali sekala.

Tapi aku takkan datang lagi kedai ni dalam masa 6 bulan. I mean, ikan bakar? boleh dapat kat mane-mane kedai pun.

For more info, korang boleh google jer.

Asus, pronounce it correctly

So how do you say it? Asses?Ay-sus? Ah-sus? hehehe
