The One With All The Movies

It took me 20 days to come up with another brand new entry :S That shows how busy am I in this fast pace and updated world. Ehh obbaa I. Here's another update of my favourite superstar, Sandra Bullock who recently won a Screen Actors Guild Award for her outstanding performance.

Sandra and her husband, Jesse James recently won full legal custody of James' five year old daughter. They were in a battle with James' former porn star and exotic dancer ex wife, Janine Lindemulder.

 Weird Sandra in 'All About Steve'


Here's some facts you may not know about 'The Proposal'.

- Before “The Proposal,” it had been five years since Rockport’s rugged coastline and quaint downtown shops served as a backdrop for a major Hollywood production. The last film shot in Rockport before “The Proposal” — 2003’s “Stuck on You” starring Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear — from 20th Century Fox, gave $5,000 to Rockport, which selectmen used to renovate Boy Scout Hall.

- Since “The Proposal,” two other movies have been filmed in Rockport. Mel Gibson’s “Edge of Darkness” due out in theaters on Jan. 29 2010 (today) and “Hatteras Hotel” — a murder mystery shot for the most part at Rockport’s Emerson-Inn-by-the-Sea. That film’s title has now been changed to “The Last Harbor.”

-  Julia Roberts was reportedly the first choice to play Bullock’s character in “The Proposal.” According to the Los Angeles Times, Roberts refused to star in “The Proposal” unless Disney offered her a higher salary; Disney hired Bullock for even less money than it had offered Roberts, and “The Proposal” became one of the highest-grossing romantic comedies ever.

Limelight

Sandra Bullock is 2009's top star.

By Alex Dobuzinskis (edited by Qalix)


Sandra Bullock, nicknamed as 'America's Sweetheart' shined as 2009's top Hollywood star at the box office after two-year absence from screens. This is based on top money making stars. Bullock beat out George Clooney and Denzel Washington on the strength of her roles in "The Proposal" and "The Blind Side". Romantic comedy "The Proposal" made $315 million at worldwide box offices following its June release and football drama "The Blind Side" has made $193 million ONLY in the US and Canada since its Nov 20 release, with its roll-out in other countries still to come. Bullock who also starred in the 2009 comedy "All About Steve" with its $34 million take in the US and Canada. 

Quigley's list of top money making stars;

1. Sandra Bullock
2. Johnny Depp
3. Matt Damon
4. George Clooney
5. Robert Downey Jr
6. Tom Hanks
7. Meryl Steep
8. Brad Pitt
9. Shia LeBeouf
10. Denzel Washington


Sandra Bullock is the eight woman to clinch the top spot in Quigley's.

I say :

Well it is obvious that 2009 had been a year for Bullock and will continue the momentum in 2010 as Bullock's "The Blind Side" is yet to be released worldwide. I'm happy for her. I love her since Miss Congeniality. Then came Miss Congeniality 2 a couple of years later and now I'm waiting for the Miss Congeniality 3, if there's any. She also starred in "The Lake House". Not only she starred in these movies but she is also one of the people behind it, excetuvie producer. Similarly like "The Proposal", "The Blind Side" and "All About Steve" were all her works. I'm glad that she's back. Hope to see more of her in the future.

My other favourite actresses;

Anne Hathaway - Will see her in Valentine's Day, February 2010.

Lisa Kudrow - Just received a webby award for her role in 'Web Theraphy' where she also the executive producer.

Reese Witherspoon - No idea where she is up to now.

Sex and The City 2 will be out some time this year after a successful first movie in 2008. I wonder when F.R.I.E.N.D.S will be brought to the screen. There's rumours about it but I don't know! We just wait and see in 2011, the same year when the next Spiderman movie will be released. Hopefully my next post, if time permit, I will share my top 10 movies and songs of 2009.

Se Tues La Day Sa

I went out for two movies yesterday. In the afternoon, I went to watch Avatar and in the evening, went for TPATF which means (especially to Pytat) The Princess and The Frog. Both movies are beautiful in different kind of way.


First, Avatar! It was totally awesome dude! The graphic, the plot, the setting were all brilliantly produced. Here's a little bit about the movie. Jake, a paraplegic ex-marine, is brought to another planet called Pandora which is inhibited by the Na'vi, a humanoid race with their own language and culture. However, their planet has been under threat by the greedy people from Earth, which the Na'vi called 'The Sky People'. So in order for 'The Sky People' to be with the Na'vi, they have to be like them, a tall creature with blue skin. That's why they make an avatar for each qualified person.


If planet Pandora do exist, woww.. who wouldn't wanna go there? It's a beautiful place where the animals and palnts produce their own lights during night time. However, the animlas over there are very wild but still a nice place to live in. Oh yeah, Pandora has floating mountains while Earth has nothing but flying aeroplanes and helis carrying people from one place to another and at the same time polluting the environment.



From the director of Titanic

presents...


Verdict : A-




-----------------------------------------------


Good movie. I didn't know it was gonna be a cartoon, so that turned me off a little bit. It's a typical fairy tale movie which ends with the prince marrying a poor girl and live happily ever after. Like other fairy tale stories, this movie also involves magic (such as vodoo), talking animals, hero is the prince. What makes this movie a bit special is that when the 'princess' kissed the frog, the frog didn't turn into a prince, instead the princess became a frog too. Then the story went on with the journey of the two frogs in a wild place to find a solution for them to change back to human. Along the journey, they made new friends and there were also some obstacles + the feeling of love started to bloom! Not to forget their other friend, Evangaline. Bintang yang dorang selalu buat wish and yg nda benama jadi benama tia.


Walt Disney presents.....


a movie which Dai fell asleep during the show...


The Princess and The Frog


Verdict : C+

A Day Before Ramadhan

It's actually good to see movies before Ramadhan comes because you don't want to hear your stomach roars like a lion when it is hungry. So, that's what I did for the past few weeks, catching up movies before a month without food and drink during the day. The movies I have watched recently were The Proposal, staring in it was one of my favourite actresses and director,s Sandra Bullock and the other movie I have watched was Aliens in the attic featuring another major star, Ashley Tisdale.


Verdict : B+


The proposal, wow!! It was so funny that I laughed my as off!! I'm starting to admire the work of Ryan Reynolds because he is very versatile, I've seen him in comedies and even action, X-men Origin. I first saw him in a tv show called Two guys, a girl and a pizza place. Now he is a big star. Can wait to see him in another action movie, The Lantern. Sandra Bullock, best as always. Lapsss ia so much. I can't help but to laugh every time I remember about the 'Get the dog, get the dog' part and also the dance she did in the jungle with the grammy. It was hilarious!! and of course Ryan's part 'it's the morning'. Hahaha.. If I were to talk about all the funny moments, it would take me the whole night to do it but I'm not gonna. Go grab a DVD of this show and lets laugh together. I have to give a B+ because the ending was short, I was hoping to see them saying 'I do' however even I gave harry potter an A-, the proposal is the kind of movie you always want to watch it again walaupun B+ ganya.


The most recent movie I've watched ialah 'Aliens in the attic'. It was a great movie especially for kids. I love kids movie and I love Disney even though I'm 20, there's a little boy stuck inside me. Eisehhh~ It was more enjoyable when I'm watching with my friends who are sekepala and making the not funny things jadi funny and the funny ones jadi funnier. Lapss tia. More importantly, on time for the movie and inda beangin. Hahaha.. I don't know what to say about the movie but it was worth watching it and the movie even made someone cried (when I say someone I mean Dai =P) She cried because the little girl wanted the good alien, snuggle lumps to stay with the family but snuggle lumps itself already has his own family. So he flew back to his planet and the little girl was watching him flying the spaceship until it is no more in sight and that's when it struck Dai into tears. That's also when Iq and I burst out laughing. I can understand if someone is crying over a dying friend but an alien which in real life does not exist (yet)? Come on~ Hahaha.. But at least she got a feeling. =)


Verdict : B+

That's all for now peeps.
Cheers~

The One With Pytat's Birthday

This morning, I went to the airport to ucapkan farewell to my dad. He's leaving for Miami, Florida, US with three of his colleagues. First, he'll stay a night in Singapore before taking off to the states tomorrow. Mudahan selamat sampai and balik nanti. Dilindungi Allah sentiasa. Amin~



His ticket. Singapore airlines. Business class.

Have a safe trip.


--------------------------------------------------------------


Yesterday, went to watch he's just not that into you with Salwa, Izza, Mubil, Rafie and the couple, Mizan Gkah. Salwa was very nice for offering me to you know... like get together for a day after so many months of not hanging out together with friends. It is good actually to tighten the bonds between all of us. Hayyy.. Hahaha.. It was not my type of movie I would wanna watch but Jeniffer Aniston was there... so mana mana. The young girls out there of course, they are so into this kind but for the guys... hmmm... However, the movie to me was just okay, so-so like that but I did enjoy watching with them. I thought it's going to be a romantic-comedy but actually it was all about relationships... some ended up happy ending and others the opposite. The actor/actress are all well known. Overall 6/10 rating. I bet the book version is highly rated than the movie.




After the movie, we went for a chill...




It was a fun day and we got to talk about random stuff at Ideal but too bad Mijan and Izza went home early.


-----------------------------------------------------------------


Currently I'm reading.......

Because I AM a good guy.

It's thriller btw, as they said 'bad things happen to good people'.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------


Happy Birthday Pytat!! Now that you are 20 years old, what are you gonna do next with your life? I wish you all the best of luck in the world in achieving the things you want to achieve in this world. All the best in your love life, hope you find the perfect one soon though I'm not encouraging you to find one yet*apakan contradict tia*.. but mana2. Sometimes I don't get you, you said dulu masa you 50kg... 'you don't wanna diet anymore cuz too skiny is ugly' but now when you're 51kg, you wanna go diet tia.. you wanna have a body like si tutt... size 2 lagi tu... Hmm.. weird.. but don't worry, I always find you weird all the time ever since I masa Form 1 walaupun alum saling berapa kenal mengenali.. Hayyy.. But what I remember, someone told me to call you 'tunggi'. Hahahaha.. Yes, you're weird.. remember masa kemarin2, you wanted to go to library and you bawa me along pasal kan ceritakan something hot but sudah tejumpa si ehwan, ikut ko jua ke FOS but alum sampai duduk di FOS, bebalik tia ko ke library. Apakan tu ertinya? Hahaha...

Sudah ke library, minta gambar....


Pose 1 : 'What are you looking at?' attitude


Pose 2 : I'm so sexy~


Pose 3 : Yooo.. wassup bro?


Happy 20th Birthday Pitat or Petat or Pytat or Pi or Rafidah Abdul

This was exactly a week ago, adakah patut wiper vios ku dinaikkannya.... sekali balasannya ni nah....


Bukan satu ku naikkan, tapi dua2 plus ku sangkutkan lagi daun tu. Kalau buleh ku cabut lagi daun banyak2 dari pokok atu and sangkut banyak2.

Moral of the story : Don't mess with me otherwise the messer becomes the masseese*spelling not sure I*


----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Another movie I've watched is a malaysian movie, Jangan Tegur. I was invited by Dai's friends and before I even said yes to them, they already booked the seat for me. How addorable~ Anyways, Dai and I went together in one car and met the rest at Jolibee. As usual I don't buy popcorn because I nda minat. There were ten of us, Zuree and Tiqah didn't know that it was gonna be a horror movie.. Hahaha.. Toink~ Pikir dorang jangan tegur ani macam movie biasa, like comedy apa segala. Fyi, time kami meliat mubi ani ialah... semasa hari Juma'at pukul 7 malam.


Overall, the movie was great and good job for the sound effects because ia made me startle almost everytime when the damn f&$#ing sound bebunyi. The movie was not really the scariest one I ever watched. By looking at the poster, the so called 'ghost' on the left side is actually obvious wearing contact lenses.

After the movie, we went for pictures taking at almost every floor. The funny part ialah si zuree tekajut beteriak keluar dari jamban pasal kana kajutkan. Hahahahaha... The whole seri Q-lap building kedangaran suaranya menjerit. Hayy.. Apatah lagi baru lapas cerita horror yang at first pikirnya cerita biasa. Deloo ia... sakit parut I ketawa. After sangal ketawa sampai tekrim parut and pipi, sadar jua kami ani rupanya memerlukan makanan untuk dimakan dan aing kan diminum. So ke farmbasket tah kami~

Di farmbasket ada si S dengan datenya. Order punya order, akhirnya makanan sorang2 pun sampai sudah satu persatu and every order yang sampai atu kami nyanyikan lagu birthday. Attention seeker lah supaya si S meliat2an. Hayyy.. haha.. apakan.. no lah, nada we beniat kan attract atention si S but saja kan memalukan si order receiver atu. I order garlic bread as always but the garlic bread... emm... malas kan cakap... nda nyamannnn... apa.. licakkkkkkkkkkkk!!!! biasanya garlic bread ani karas and crunchy ani siring2nya saja karas di tangah2 licakkkkkkkk macam sponge bob squarepants. So, my food nda lah abis... Biarrr.. siapa suruh membuat licakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.... si zuree ordered chocolate something and it looks yummy..


Si Zuree punya~


Now sudah sampai di penghunjungnya... Have a blast.

-The End-
