Fireproof (2008)

Previously I’ve commented something in anggun3’s blog post regarding the movie Avatar. Part of the comment goes something like this

“ Yup you are right. Avatar is a good movie to end the year… ”

Well, that is true. Watching Avatar is a good way to end 2009. Coincidently, I just finish watching a movie called Fireproof.

Below is the summary of this movie taken from imdb.com

In Albany, the marriage of Caleb end Catherine Holt is in crisis and they decide to divorce. However, Caleb's father, John, proposes that his son delays their separation process for forty days and follow a procedure called "The Love Dare" to make them love each other again

I’ve watched before a movie called Ladder 49 in 2004. To be honest, the storyline in Ladder 49 was much nicer compared to Fireproof.

Ladder 49 is a great movie. It has some touching scenes. No doubts about that. But there is something different about Fireproof. Something to ponder about. Something to learn from. Something that really touches my heart. Something that made me CRY. Yes I cried 3 times while watching Fireproof, I ADMIT!! So? Guys cannot cry one is it? Maybe you can consider me as an odd male species.

The things that I liked about the movie Fireproof:

1. I realised how important it is to love someone with Unconditional Love
2. I realised that God love us too with His Unconditional Love
3. I realised how important it is to appreciate and cherish the people around me
4. Lastly, I liked the movie because it manage to make me cry. Watching Fireproof is a good way to start my New Year, 2010.

p/s: This next part is dedicated to Alex Kendrick and Stephen Kendrick.

I would like to thank Alex Kendrick and Stephen Kendrick for producing such a Great movie. From all the comments I’ve read in the internet, your movie, Fireproof really touched a lot of peoples life's and save a lot of people’s marriage. We are really blessed by this movie. Many Thanks.

Avatar (2009)

Everywhere I go, I saw posters and advertisements about the movie, Avatar. Trailer of this movie was being displayed on the screen in public places. People are talking about this movie and are giving good feedbacks since the day Avatar was released.

A few days back, my life was basically surrounded by things related to Avatar. Even the word “Avatar” kept appearing in my mind. So I told myself that I need to watch this movie before Christmas (because after Christmas I’ll be busy with my studies already).

To be honest, I didn’t know what is the story about. I didn’t read the synopsis or watch the trailer of this movie even before stepping in the cinema to watch it. All I know about this movie are there will be creatures with blue face and there will be loads of action and shooting scenes. That were the reasons why I wanted to watch Avatar in 3D. But unfortunately tickets to watch 3D Avatar in GSC ECM were sold out for the time that I wanted. So I bought the normal ticket instead.

Actually I was quite disappointed not able to watch Avatar in 3D. I was more disappointed while watching the movie because there are many scenes in the movie that will be fantastic if watched in 3D. For those who have watched Avatar, still remember the scene where Jake Sully & Neytiri were walking in Pandora where there were many colourful lighted plants? The scene where Jake Sully acted like a “baby”, touching every plants that he saw? Can you imagine how beautiful will it be if you watch that scene in 3D? I confess that throughout the movie, I mumbled something that goes like this “Haiz, this scene will be nicer in 3D.Wasted!”

Overall, I liked the movie very much. The storyline and the way this movie was presented is something different compared to other movies that I’ve watched. So, for those who haven’t watch Avatar, you still have 1-2weeks left to decide whether or not to watch it. If you decide to watch, I would recommend that you watch it in 3D. As a saying goes “It’s better to be sure than sorry”. Don’t be like me, still having the feeling of regrets in me.

Frankly speaking, sometimes I do think of watching Avatar again, this time in 3D (just for the sake of satisfying myself ^_^). But on the other hand, I’m hoping that there will be a 2nd part of this movie. Maybe the title will be “Avatar 2: The Return of The Sky People”. Haha…

Ninja Assassin

I’m suppose to write and submit this post few hours ago, but I couldn’t find the energy to think because I’m just too tired due to the lack of sleep. My eyes are just losing hope on me @_@. After getting enough rest for my eyes and food for my stomach, I’m more than ready to proceed in writing this new blog post.

Even before reading the 1st paragraph above, you guys/girls should be able to guess what this post is about, right? Yes, you are right! It’s about the movie Ninja Assassin that was released in cinemas nationwide on the 25th November 2009.

Some of you might be thinking “What? Now only watch!?! What the hack has Clement been doing for the past 2 weeks then? Staying in some jungle without any GSC or TGV izit?”

The truth is I’m not in some jungle in Malaysia and I’m busy doing my own things for the past 2 weeks. That’s the reason why I can’t find a time whereby I’m free to watch this movie. Early or late it doesn’t matter. What matter most is I have watched it and I watched it on the BIG screen in cinema instead of watching it on my own laptop or TV.

The things I like about this movie are:

1. The movie is about the life of Ninjas. I love it since I was a kid (I will explain more on my next post),
2. The range of martial arts that are used throughout the movie (fantastic!), and
3. Some of the fighting scenes such as slashing, stabbing, the wounds on Raizo’s(Rain) foot when he was a kid and the huge slash on his stomach with a Shuriken in it are very realistic.

Clement’s Word of Advice: This movie is not suitable for people who have a weak stomach, afraid of blood and slashed wounds. (It will make you fast chilli/tomato sauce for days)
