VS

filem Cinta, adalah antara filem yang aku suka. Tak banyak filem melayu yg aku suka, means dari segi keseluruhannya berjaya tak buat aku pening jalan cerita, lakonan mantap, casting bagus, aka filem yang dalam kategori filem yg dibuat dgn teliti lah,bukan jenis tangkap muat,asal siap or tak memperbodohkan penonton dgn jalan cerita,or has being executed poorly below average.

Jesteru, sebaik saja, filem cinta di di “indon” kan dengan judul love. of courselah aku punya lah nak tunggu filem love ni siap and tayang kat KL ni. lebih2 lagi ramai pelakon yg aku suka ada dlm tu, fauzi baadila, acha, irwanshah, luna maya…and pada semua peminat irwanshah, harus tgk filem ni sebab banyak closeup muka irwanshah .ahaks.

**warning spoilers alert**

overall aku puji jugak producer indon yg berjaya buat filem love dgn menepati ciri2 komersil dan juga ciri2 filem yg bagus. aku paham knapa scene cinta antara adik kakak dlm “cinta” diganti dgn cinta antara irwanshah dan din or dinda seorang pondan pesakit kanser payudara.Sumpah! kalau tade scene cabut wig and masuk spital, aku dah mati2 ingat din/dinda tu seorang pondan yang coverline baek punya!. (HAHA!-aku rasa few ppl in the hall jugak terasa yg sama koz aku dgr ada org gelak masa restu seluk tangan raba boob din!!)almost nak tepuk tangan masa scene kt taman tu. walaupun jalan cerita sebegitu logik dan boleh dibuat tapi maybe akan menyentuh sensitiviti masyarakat la kan. esp kalau tetiba je si restu sanggup menyintai din seadanya. satu lagi sebab aku rasa nak tepuk tangan sebab jalan cerita tu possible pun utk dibuat sebab waktu scene restu kejar din kat bas station tu, dia kebetulan terpanggil “din” to adinda or din. so mmg tak lari conti la kalo nak buat all those story. cuma maybe tabiat din minum air masak banyak2 tu sebab dehydrate sebab dia cucuk hormon or cucuk vitamin c?

anyway..cerita love and cinta ni ada kekuatan and kelemahan masing2. tapi dua2nya tetap BEST and wajib ditengok oleh korang semua!

script, cinematography & Lokasi (kekuatan love & cinta)

-lokasi,and cinematography yg cantik,marveles and authentic n serasi dgn jiwa filem nie. actually lokasi2 filem love lebih kurang sama dgn lokasi filem cinta. so peminat filem cinta ada sebab nak tgk filem love sebab korang akan rasa seronok tgk persamaan lokasi and shot filem ni.

-dan kedua2 filem love dan cinta ni berjaya diolah skrip nya dgn sempurna. pujian harus diberi pada penulis skrip filem love, sebab dialog2 nya tepat, memorable dan ringkas!! sesuai utk dibuat custom msg pada myspace,ym dll. filem love juga berjaya menyuntik elemen2 puitis yg bersesuaian pada dialog yg berjaya membantu membuai mood penonton.aku suka part rama yg seorang jiwang karat tu. puisi2 dia, berkesan n mendalam…cuba lihat puisi sikunang2 dibawah

Aku Seekor kunang-kunang
Dalam gelap aku terbang
Dalam gelap aku terang
Dan jadikanlah engkau senja
Kerana gelap aku ada
Kerana gelap aku indah
Aku hanyalah seekor kunang-kunang
Dan kau hanyalah senja
Dalam gelap kita berbagi
Dalam gelap kita abadi

musik latar (kekuatan pada cinta, tak berapa berkesan dlm filem love)

harus diberi thumbs up pada filem cinta, sebab musik dlm filem cinta berjaya memainkan peranan untuk memberi kekuatan pada setiap scene. lagu dan lirik lagu berjaya dimanipulasi dgn baik utk memberi kesan yg lebih umph pada filem cinta. manakala, filem love, musik latar dia byk yang tak matching gitu, mujur ada lagu ’sempurna’ yg ada byk versi diguna dlm few scene dlm filem ‘love’. lain2 lagu kurang meruntun perasaan sgt. kira tak membantu sgt lah. tak percaya?tengok dua2 filem ini dan rasailah sendiri berkesan atau tidak.

lakonan (mantap dlm filem cinta, tak mantap sgt dlm filem love)

filem cinta, lakonan setiap pelakon2 dia almost flawless, setiap pelakon berjaya memainkan peranan masing2 utk meraih emosi dan mood penonton dlm setiap dialog. cuma dlm love, ada pelakon yg berjaya ada yang boleh diperbaiki lagi.tapi tidaklah sampai mencacat kan cerita. tapi to be honest, kalau dlm filem cinta aku menitis air mata, filem love, walaupun telah kucuba menhayati sepenuh2nya setiap scene. tak nangis loh. kira biasa2 aja gitu dech.

wardrobe (almost perfect in cinta, ada baju yg tak berapa kena pada love)

pakaian watak2 dlm filem cinta, almost menepatilah karekter watak2. cuma dlm filem love, aku rasa kalo org sukabumi tu tentu kampung kan?tapi pakaian nya moden sgtlah. kira lari conti jugaklah. walaupun ditunjukkan cara acha cakap tu bahasa indon kampung dgn memek muka kekampungan, tapi pakaian watak acha mcm asli jakarta saje aku tgk. so menganggu tumpuan aku utk menghayati pembawaan watak si acha ni. cuba tgk filem berbagi suami, mcm mana karekter shanty berjaya dibawa dgn berkesan oleh shanty. siap shanty rambut kusut masai dgn pakaian selekeh n sememeh, begitu tepat dgn latar belakang karekter shanty dlm berbagi suami.itu belum sentuh lagi dgn pilihan warna pakaian watak2 masing, tapi yg paling lemah adalah pakaian watak acha lah. yang lain2 almost perfect and bersesuaian. esp pakaian watak dinda, yang last last persoalan penontotn tentang kenapa minah ni pakai baju tebal2 selendang2 padhal hidup di jakarta yg panas terjawap di hujung cerita. so ngamla kan.

jalan cerita (smooth sailing in cinta, tapi ada lompong2 in love)

haa ni penting jugak. filem love tu almost perfect dah. tapi aku tak taw kenapa scene isteri curang yg kantoi tu dibuat begitu. bagi penonton filem cinta, mesti boleh teka rasionalnya pompuan tu kena kantoi kat rumah lama tu. tapi bagi penonton yg baru first time tgk mesti bingung, mcm mana pompuan tu boleh sampai kerumah itu dan dikantoikan oleh suaminya. tak berapa perfect dan bisa mengundang persoalan2 penonton. apsal pompuan tu dtg kat rumah tu, and knapa suami dia hias meja kt rumah tu,knapa pompuan tu dtg bersama lelaki lain(maybe rakan sekerja/skandalnya) ke rumah tu? babak2 yg lain rasanya make sense dah tiada masalah lompang. semua persoalan terjawab di akhir cerita. cuma scene ketahuan itu saja yg failed!tataw la kalo scene tu kena cantas2 n dibiarkan “tegantung” sebegitu.

okey.

overall, kedua-dua filem ni tak rugi tgk. esp peminat2


fauzi baadila sbg Rama yg macho dan gagah, mamat jiwang karat yg sgt jantan. wow.


acha septriasa sebagai e ein, minah dr kampung yg kekampungan tapi pandai n mampu berfashion!


luna maya sbg tere- kakak vogue yg cantik dan sukses tapi tak kisah bekapel ngan loser. suka tgk baju2 dia..stylo lah.


darius sinanthrya sbg awin, lelaki yg terlampau byk berfikir sampai end up being a loser tapi cinta merubah dirinya….


laudya chintya bella sebagai din/dinda …si comel yg sarat dgn misteri dan punyai tarikan tersendirie…(aku dan dia punyai banyak persamaaan…sehingga membuatku tersenyum n tersengih sendiriannn)

irwanshah sebagai restu, lelaki comel, yg sedang ingin bercinta dan sanggup berbuat apa saja dan tak malu utk dilihat orang yang dia, seorang mat jiwangs!

satu lagi yang aku nak puji pasal filem love ni adalah skrip dia bagus,setiap dialog ada maksud tersirat dan tersurat dan kira dialog yg byk homework la jugak bukan main tabur je dialog.dialog2 dia mampu buat kita berfikir dan setiap olahan cerita dia aku rasa berupaya untuk menyampai kan mesej kepada penonton utk lebih menghargai cinta, dan memahami apa itu maksud cinta.

akhir kata, mmg bebaloi RM12 ringgit yg aku keluarkan!! dan pastinya aku akan beli DVD kedua2 filem ni utk koleksi bila jiwang mood dtg megamit hati-haha!! layannnnn!!

( mana ko blajar pose mcm tu noh?naomi campbell? padanlah….sesuai sgt)

membe aku duk cerita2 pasal band hujan kena boo kat jb. aku tak suprised pongg…aku dah agak dah,dr dulu lagi kalo band2 baru nak naik ni kalo tade org profesional bagi tunjuk ajar/nasihat mmg sah sah tepeleot tak byk,skit.this is a wild industry. please please, get urself a proper manager yg taw selok belok undang2 and boleh ajar skill PR yg hebat. jgnla bodoh sombong sgt. seme benda nak buat sendiri. ada baik dan buruknya.nasehat aku, sbgai muka “baru”, dptkan tunjuk ajar dari pakar dulu, bila dah boleh buat sendiri then buat sendiri la dari A-Z. cth terdekat,blajar mcm mana KRU market music dieorg sampai ada empayer musik dieorg sendiri.

tapi dlm sisi lain aku kesal and bengang jugak koz:-

1. org kita still lagi tak pandai appreciate music and musicians.

2. musicians yang tak pandai PR and bodoh sombong. so jgn marah kalo sikap korang yg tah hape2 tu bikin org panas.bila korang dah mulai up to, segala menda korang wat and cakap and di letak bawah microscope masyarakat. so perangai2 masa dlm arena bawah tanah tu yg tak elok2 tu pandai2 la tinggalkan or kaver.

dari dulu lagi since aku follow gigs and rave, aku perati, rata2 yg pegi gigs tu tak ramai yg tak poyo. selebihnya adalah poyo and lebih sudu dari kuah.selalunya ni golongan2 yg jenis ikut orang…time punk naik, beduyun korang pakat beli kasut but, time hiphop, kasut but korang tukar ngan sneaker adidas, then time emo, beduyun pakai celak. sape yg tak sealiran ngan korang, korang boo boo. amboi mentang2la korang ramai, korang rasa korang hebat la kan. so far, belum penah plak aku tgh ravers boo boo dj or spinner yg dieorg tak suka. i mean, kalo suka, layan, kalo tak suka, chill lah. pegi la isap rokok, layan lolipop ke menda pe pe ke janji tak kaco org lain nak enjoy.paham.

cth: kalau band/artist tu bukan dari genre music yg dieorg minat perform. suka2 nak boo and tak respect betul. hello, kalo korang tu betul2 pecinta music sejati. sila blajar hormat musicians lain. kalo tak suka korang pure metal and takleh terima lansung musisi genre lain, sila keluar dari dewan. gi la isap rokok ke ape.sementara band tu habis perform. BECAUSE kalo ko sorg tak suka, ada ramai lagi yg suka yg membayar tiket and nak mendengar dieorg perform!. if you think your band is so in and cool, tayah la nak tunjuk2 kan sgt. genre come and goes man, whats in today may turn dull tomorrow.so agak2 la sket. kesian pada band2 yg nak perform and nak please kan crowd yg suka dgn persembahan dieorg.

and kepada drummers, gitaris, vocalist, dlm erti kata lain musicians yg membawa nama band masing2.

tolonglah polish korang punye PR skill and blajar cara nak respect org lain jugak. MULUT tu jaga skit. korang tu artist, jgn sengaja cari pasal masukkan pasir dlm periuk nasi korang dgn sengaja melaser2 org ke ape ke. jujurlah dlm berkarya tapi selalu lah pakai resmi padi, makin berisi makin tunduk.kalo utk show2 awam ni tayahla nak berkira n demand sgt, lkalo nak demand, demand masa corporate show atau event corporate.korang jugak nak org suka and sayang korang sampai sanggup beli cd original bukan?and blajar lah utk tidak memihak mana2 pihak. jgn duk tunjuk sgt korang nye true skin tu. belajar jadi hipokrit sket utk jaga periuk nasi supaya seme org dpt enjoy musik korang dgn AMAn dan tanpa melibatkan sentimen apepe2.

music is timeless,ageless and borderless. apa yg korang minat, tak semestinya org lain kena minat.apa yg org lain minat tak semestinya ko kena minat. so hormat menghormatilah antara kita.support our local acts.

Carey upsets fans at signing
21/04/2008 – 7:57:38 AM

Mariah Carey fans booed the pop superstar at an autograph signing on Thursday when she showed up two hours late and left before signing albums for devotees who had waited eight hours to meet her.

The singer, who was promoting her new album ‘E=MC2′ at Universal City Walk in Los Angeles, left tired fans fuming when she stopped signing and “went home”.

Carey fans, who waited in line to meet their heroine, have flooded the Internet to slam the diva, claiming she showed up two hours late and didn’t stay around long enough to meet and greet the 1,000 devotees who were promised time with the singer.

One angry fan says: “The first 1,000 people who bought her album from (record store) FYE got a guaranteed meet and greet (wristband), but she left with more than a hundred people still waiting.

“Some fans booed and others even trashed their copies of Mariah’s new CD and yelled profanities at her.”

http://breakingnews.iol.ie/entertainment/story.asp?j=207962480&p=zx7963×6x

waiting for 8 hours and end up being dissapointed ? wow. i can imagine how those angry fans felt when mariah carey left them in despair.

http://www.hardcore-stress-management.com/images/TeenAnger.jpg

Mariah Carey and her management team mustve getting their ego held up to the sky and has forgotten that fans is their goldmine in putting the food into their plate.

damage control pls. or else mariah carey E=MC2 might become mariah biggest failure and probably will bring mariah her 2nd nervous breakdown.

with due respect. i felt so sorry for those poor fans, probably they are the ones who will end up saying “bye bye” to mariah carey. LOL.

Love
Shayna Zaid

The stars gave you a warming sign
from the start we should’ve drawn the line
we opened up our eyes this time
another God-forsaken reason why i can’t sleep at night

kept pushing the walls
believing it all
running around living in my mind
you get up and fall
keep moving along
another reason why you are so admired

Love, don’t lock up his heart
Love, give him something worth fighting for
Love.. Love.. don’t do it again

the wall without a picture frame
is an empty space to wake up and face
another day, another song
all the music keeps us singing along

a toast to the breeze
a sweet symphony
a table for two with an empty seat
i get up and leave
you fall on your knees
another reason why you are the only One

Love, don’t lock up his heart
Love, give him something worth fighting for
Love, Love.. don’t do it again

keep breathing
’cause your heart is beating..

Love, don’t lock up his heart
Love, give him something worth fighting for
Love, Love.. don’t do it again

Singapore too cheap for Celine Dion
Fri, April 11 2008

Celine Dion

Canadian songbird Celine Dion, who after five years performing in Las Vegas is embarking on a world tour to promote her latest album, is giving Singapore a miss to perform instead in Kuala Lumpur on April 13.

The Malaysian capital is her sole South-east Asian stop in a tour that includes South Africa, Japan, China and Britain. The Grammy-winning singer’s latest release may be entitled Taking Chances, but Dion’s taking none on Singapore promoters.
According to AsiaOne News, not a single Singaporean promoter could cough up enough coin to attract the aging diva. Rob Prinz, Dion’s long-time agent at United Talent Agency, said: “We wanted to come to Singapore but never received a realistic offer from a reliable promoter during our planning stage of the tour.”
In Singapore, Taking Chances has gone gold, with over 8,000 copies sold since its release last November. Her most popular album, Falling Into You (1996), which won the Montrealer an Album Of The Year Grammy in 1997, has sold over 100,000 copies in the island nation.
Dion, who has had such hits as My Heart Will Go On and Because You Loved Me, recently ended her five-year engagement in Vegas, where she performed almost nightly at Caesars Palace. That show generated more than $400 million, and mixed reviews.
Well Celine Dion’s team has make a perfect decision in hosting celine dion concert in KL. Business wise, those who give more, will get more. She’s not doing her charity show, plus she is taking her whole entourage with a world class sound engineer and people who is working for her to host such a world class show. Thus of course, she deserve to maximise her profit by giving licensing and rights to the best bidder.
Well KL is truly a one stop centre to host such a regional show. People from Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Philipines, and brunei able to travel to KL in much cheaper way via Air Asia. Air Asia have their direct route from almost all asian countries to and from KL.
Futhermore, with centralise public transportation at KL Sentral and many choices of accomodation from  5 stars hotel to travelers hostel, KL have it all within the budget range of the travellers and able to be a regional entertainment hub in South East Asia region.
and speaking of potential concert audience, KL alone consist of diverse income of people, huge number of expatriates from many countries settling down in KL till the local low income people will offer a dynamic range of target market surely hungry to be entertained.
Thus no wonder Celine Dion team has picked KL as her sole concert destination in south east asia.

Poster from the movie 27 Dresses [2008]

As usual a romantic comedy like this will always linger among,

Jane, A hopeless romantic hardworking, boss pleaser who is happen to secretly fall in love with her boos, george. An almost a perfectionist in pleasing everyone around her, making them happy. but she just seem dont know when and how to make herself happy.

until one day, her sister appear in and stealing the man of her dreams.

Tess, self centred, party girl, man eater who happen to see george as the man who will make her a better person. (really?).

but of course….theres always a back up plan for a happily ever after ending, here comes kevin doyle.

james marsden on 27 dresses. wow who wouldnt smitten to his affectious smile! which is why i wouldnt miss myself watching this movie and of course there’s katherine heigl. James Marsden play kevin doyle a very charming, writer who are secretly smitten by Jane’s personality and beauty, who happen to be a writer,who are currently looking for scope for his newspaper which will provide the conflict and drama for the movie. :)

Regardless how predictable the movie is, i actually loving this movie altough its not as great as other classic but it has what it takes to make me enjoy the movie from start to finish without feeling boring. and have fair share of some dramatic and sad moments. Esp towards Jane. and yeap. The ending is as what i suppose to want it to be. 4 stars out of 5. with 1 stars given becoz of james marsden!

Image from the movie 27 Dresses [2008]

Well i hope your cake will fall on them!!

” kevin i love you!”

yess!! james marsden is much hotter!! dump george right away u silly pie!

“Today you’re just the bitch who broke my heart and cut up my mother’s wedding dress. “

the latest rainy season in kl finally manage to hit me to core. i have asthma history. and since last year it came back with a vengeance. all this years, i manage to free myself from asthma and it inhaler sidekicks.  but last year, i finally haunted by it. didnt know why and whats the actual reason that it came back to haunt me. so im not actually asthma free as i thot i was.

the latest attack leave me with flam. causes me to cough once in a while. it has been almost 2 week and im still struggling to end it.

i was telling my fren about this. and surprisingly he made me realised that the reason my lung was becoming fragile to asthma is becoz the fact that probably i quit swimming!

when i was a lil kid, my asthma was pretty bad. then when i hit standard six i became active in swimming, and keep on swimming regularly ever since. however the last time i swim regularly was 3 years ago. and i assume thats why recently asthma started to haunt me again.

my fren told me that a doctor even advice asthma patient to swim regularly to encourage lung exercise for a fitter, and stronger lung.

i dunno if its true. but what i want to do now is to start to swim regularly again.

look at that beautiful, tempting nescafe. does it look so welcoming for us to go to our kitchen and make a mug of our own hot nescafe?

i no i dont. eversince gastritis attack last year. ive been avoiding nescafee or starbuck or any coffee based drink and food. the fear of painful stomach cramp which causes my intestine squeezing up and down is so deadly. and no, i dont want it to happen ever again.

on the second thought, im thinking, i do not need to jump from the mountain top, or stub myself with a knife to kill myself. all i gotta do is drink 1 thick nescafe drink and let the acidic effect do the magix.

Well there must be a solution in every problems and killing myself is not a viable option!
