Review : Transformers + Harry Potter Book 7

WARNING :

SPOILERS FOR TRANSFORMERS MOVIE & HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS BOOK. PROCEED ONLY IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SEEN/READ ABOVE MENTIONED MEDIA OR ARE TOO LAZY TO DO SO AND JUST WANT TO KNOW THE GIST. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Transformers

My bro has been bugging me to watch d movie since he saw it..he was heel bent on getting the whole family 2 d cinema 2 watch it..(plus he wanted 2 watch it again)..newayz..yesterday (Monday-23 July 07).. i took him and my sis 2 watch it at TGV,Kepong..(u knw..d one on d roof of Metro Prima, Jusco?)..n guess wat..IT WAS GOOD!!

It starts off with this dude (Shia Lebouf a.k.a Sam) buying a yellow Camaro..which ultimately is actually a transformer who cant talk ( his voice box was broken in a war)..with the cool name : Bumblebee.

Sam is totally hot for this girl..*dam i dun rmmbr her name*..is it kate?..nvm..she's not important..so he gives her a ride home..after she walks of frm her jerk jock bf..

Sam tinks his car has been stolen wen it drives off in d middle of d nite..naturally he gets on a bike (as in bicycle..not motorcycle) n chases his car down..den sees it transform..

So..some other bot comes n has a wrestling match with Bumblebee..who is trying 2 protect Sam..Story is sam is descendant from this explorer who was d 1st 2 c a transformer ( a.k.a Megatron leader of the Decepticons / the bad side la..)..his great great grandad is Captain Witwicky..who sailed the arctic circle..fell into a hole..found Megatron frozen (imagine cryogenic freezing in austin powers)..accidentally activates d bot's navigation thingy..which causes sum laser 2 input d coordinates of 'The Cube' in2 d captains glasses..oh which also blinds him btw..

So now..Sam is tryin 2 auction off his grandad's glasses ( tsk tsk..heritage la)..the Autobots lead by Optimus Prime see d glasses on ebay n have come for the cube..*sum cube that has freaky power and can change any mechanical thing in2 sum missile aiming..machine gun shooting maniac transformer*..so..they wanna protect Sam and his gal and find d cube..

Megatron is kept frozen by a secret group started by President Hoover ( a prez of USA)..its called Section 7..so..of cos..b4 d Autobots get 2 d cube..the Decepticons come and unfreeze their wacko leader..*who wants 2 create an army of transformers and wipe us humans out..frenly guy this bot dun u tink?..*

So..its d final showdown..bots figh here n thr..amazingly on a bust street..n wen their parts fall off..it NEVER falls on a person..even tho they runnin around evrywhr..evry ammunition on d face of d earth (and outer space) is shot around..again..not hitting any civilians ( these ppl got special force field round them or wat?!)..

Finally Sam takes d cube..plunges it in2 Megatron's chest and finally causes the bot to 'Shut Down'..permanently..(the cube is uber powerful and d sudden surge cant b contained by the bot)

Ending : Autobots save d earth ( except for one of em who dies in megatrons hands - Jazz- a cool Solstice car transformer). All Decepticons die. Sam gets hott girl to lie on top of him while they make out on the hood of his Camaro ( Bumblebee..how perverted).

Thats d gist..now my review..

Its a great blow this up, blow that up movie..however..the fact that i keep forgettin stuf like dat girls name means dat..d tokin n facts part of this movie..is completely abysmal. Leceh la..listen 2 d humans tok.. i wana watch n hear d Transformers doin sumting!..PLus..d action sequences kinda drive u insane..all u c are sparks wen metal hit each other..half d time i dunno who's fightin who!..d camera juz goes round n round..u get glimpses of things transforming..n dats it..wen d movie ended i was like..huh?..its a very entertaining movie tho..so park ur logic n sense at the entrance of d cinema..its a summer movie..designed 2 entertain bored teens who crave sum violence and dun wanna admit they still love playing with toys that switch from bots 2 cars n bak..So..i dun mind watching it again(me goin with eva on thurs)..juz dont get ur hopes up and dun get hung up on d story line..juz enjoy d loud 'bang bang' sounds..n Josh Duhamel..who's all gritty, sweaty and a hott riled up army guy..

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows

Let me juz say..J.K.Rowling has outdone herself..in d droning department. I read the 1st 3 books ( Harry Potter and-The philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets & Prisoner of azkaban) wen i was in Std 6..Waaaaay b4 d whole franchise phenomenon started..my mom's fren ( auntie Ranjit) bought them 4 me frm singapore..wen i was reading em..ppl were like..wat?..nvr heard of it...now its like harry potter=best ting since sliced bread.

Book 7..last book..also most long winded book. wen i 1st saw it..i was like..oh..its shorter than book 5 and 6..so i got it on sunday and i stayed up d whole nite..startin frm 2 am till bout 8 am..2 finish d ting..now normally im a pretty fast reader..its jz dat she toks bout one ting 4 almost 50 pgs!..i would reach a semi-interesting point and den wen she starts droning..i force my eyelids open (physically holding em open with my fingers)..n keep on slugging thru it..u mayb..y she so hell bent on finishin d book if its boring d life outta her..d ting is..i was a fan of potter long b4 anyone else..possibly in dis country was ( rmmbr my 1st 3 books r from singapore)..i have a sentimental value towards the characters..and keep hoping dat d book will get better.

Frm d beginning..ppl start dropping like flies..Mad-Eye dies..his body nvr uncovered except for his weird blue eye dat harry plugs out from Umbridge's office door..Tonks and Lupin die..leaving behind ther newborn son-teddy..harry's god son..tonks' dad also dies..gregorovitch(sum other wand maker) dies..Snape dies..n i 4get who else..oh..yea..voldemort dies..all 7 of him dat is..oh..n harry potter dies n comes bak 2 life! ( i knw ur tinkin-huh?)

So..HP goes lookin 4 d other horcruxes..ron n hermione drop outta sch 2 help him..d whole ministry is practically being taken over by death eaters and all hope seems lost!..the 3 of em end up camping in various fields all over england..2 hide frm death eaters..they also stay at 12, grimmauld plc 4 awhile..oh..n they can apparate..like evry few seconds..(ron gets splinched twice in d book)..harry ventures in2 you-know-who's mind evry few days 2 check up on his nemesis..u knw c wat he's up 2..who he's killing/torturing..

Harry realises that thr r these deathly hallows..3 of em..the Elder Wand..The Gaunt Ring and the Invisibilty cloak..he has 2 outta 3..the ring hidden in d snitch dumbledore left him..(dumbledore leaves hermione a book bout d deathly hallows and ron, the put-outer)..thr's lotsa angst and teen love..

finally thrs a showdown at hogwarts whr d final horcrux is stored..*ravenclaw's diedum-its kinda like a tiara la*..so..all out war starts..*bang bang*..oh yea..percy comes crawling bak 2 his parents..FINALLY admitting Voldy is bak..oh..n Fred dies..tragic huh?..(in d beginning..george's ear gets blown off)..

ron n hermione go get a bunch of basilisk fangs from d chamber of secrets to poke sum horcruxes and after settling d ravenclaw one..harry realises he is d last one..d 7th horcrux..so he surrenders 2 Lord Voldy..who..duh..kills him..Avada Kedavra and all dat..so..harry is in this limbo..not dead or alive..he toks 2 dumbledore..a heart 2 heart..den comes bak 2 life..neville kills Nagini ( the snake-6th horcrux)..harry kills Voldy..hurrah!! the end..

Fast fwd 19 yrs later..harry and ginny are hitched with 2 sons ( albus and james ) and a daughter (lily)..ron n hermione also tie d knot and have a son (dun rmmbr his name)..teddy is already at Hogwarts, cos he's older than d rest of d kids..oh..n draco's son is named Scorpius..*lame-o rite?*..

Sigh..can i say i hate d ending!..its so cliche...i..along with evryone else who understand d whole HP saga..hv reasoned out and expected him 2 die..but nooo....he has a 'soul-takes-short-vacation-frm-body'experience...

Dissapointing..J.k.Rowling used 2 b one of my fav authors..and altho i dun like d ending..i hv come 2 appreciate it..cos..we readers reli hv no say in this..harry was born frm d mind of Rowling..however she imagined it..is how it is supposed 2 be..she started it..she ends it..besides..i blame the thirst hungry readers and movie-watchers..(btw..i dislike d whole harry movie saga)..how d heck is she supposed 2 write with us all breathing down her neck?!..

To all die hard fans of potter ( who will nvr appreciate him like me..cos i read his story b4 all this movie ting came bout)..Deathly Hallows is a must read..becos..the open tied ending of happily ever after is a gift from Rowling. the none conclusiveness of it..gives us a chance 2 get our imagination bak frm d mind-snatchers a.k.a the ppl who started d whole movie nonsense..i knw i will nvr again imagine harry potter w/o seeing daniel radcliffe in my mind..but at least now..i can imagine the story of Lord Voldemort's clone baby strikes bak vs Albus Potter ( harry's son)..in my own way..with my own faces of the characters..thank u Rowling..for returning us d essence and soul..of Harry Potter..

Joke..

My mom told me a real funny joke today..n i jz thot i'd post it..u knw..cos i love..LOVE..ELL-OH-VEE-EE..lurve..making ppl laugh!..Rmmbr..it takes more muscles to frown den 2 smile..so read on..n this joke will help u not only emotionally*relese stress ma*..but physically as well..*oooh..tak payah SK II facial mask la..look young enuf d la..*

Hey..sry for the great abscence from posting..i do have a vry good valid reason tho..



"They took my appendix!!"



Here's how it started:



Thursday Nite (05-07-07)

Daddy bought satay from Nasi Kandar Sedap(dat mamak @ Ara)..mom said it wasnt reli fresh..but i was hungry and craving satay..so i jz tidak apa..n sapu onli la..Dat nite i had these pains in my lower abdomen..it felt like period cramps..so i jz took those little pink Panadol pills n sleep onli la..( i so smart..tak de period but tink got period pain..Note To Self: Do not become a doctor!) Whole nite i kept waking up..hurt like crazy!

Friday Mornin (05-07-07)

I woke up and cld hardly stand..so..being the incredibly intelligent doctor dat i m..i diagnosed my self as havin food poisoning.(cos of the funky tasting satay lo..).i was rolled up in a ball..wen mom came in d room..i was all whiny n manja..(we all do it wen we're sick..so dun judge me!)..ask mom 2 sent me 2 d doctor (with a medical degree unlike me)..i managed 2 get dress..crawled down d stairs n went 2 d doc...

Dr. Ruby pressed my stomache here..n thr..n it hurt both here n thr..she diagnosed food poisoning..cos i had a heavy head..despite me not having 'the runs' or vomiting..She gave me an injection cos i wanted sumting fast so i can help mom take kong kong 2 d hospital..obv..mommy loves me way 2 much..so she asked me 2 stay home n she handled kong kong all by herself..

Friday Nite (06-07-07)

I slept d whole day..(dat injection worked miracles man!)..den got up at nite..ate dinner..bathe and got ready 4 bed..den..it started 2 hurt again..dis time 100x d nite b4..i reli cldnt take it d..so i went 2 mom n dad's room moaning n groaning n curled up in a ball..it was bout 12 mid nite d..n dad said if we go 2 d hospital its gonna b GPs thr..so..mite as well go tmr mornin..mom gave me sum morfin..n i slept 4 like an hour..n den suffered thru d whole nite..

Saturday Mornin (07-07-07)

I fell asleep round 7.30am and woke up round 9.30 am. Dad took me 2 Dr. Ruby again..dis time she press press my tummy and said..'i tink its appendicitis'..i was like omg!..so she wrote me a letter and we rushed to Damansara Specialist Hospital.Another doctor press here n thr..n said..'i tink its appendicitis'..by dat time i was almost passing out frm d pain..but they cldnt give me an injection..cos the needed 2 do a sonogram..(d ting pregnant moms use 2 c their unborn babies..yup..dats d one)..

So..they gave me loads of water..(which i threw up..while waiting 4 the stoopid ppl 2 take me 2 d sonogram room)..den wen we did d sonogram..she pushed so hard on my appendix..it was real agony..

Finally they gave me a shot..i blacked out..n woke up in the Cardiothoracic I.C.U..y?..cos all these moms wanted 2 do c-sections so their baby wld come out on this date..!

Saturday Afternoon (07-07-07)

Round 2.30pm..they finally prepped me for surgery..(i had 2 wear those robes dat open at the back n ur butt is showing)..den..they roll me into the corridor of the surgical wing..n leave me thr..!..den this nurse starts calling all kinds of ppl..cos thr is no one to deal with my anesthesia!..evry anesthesist is 2 bz giving epidural 2 all those c-section moms!..i lay thr for wat seems 4ever..im so sleepy n feel like drifting off..but i dun dare cos im afraid they tink they alrady gave me anethesia and wen they cut me open i wake up!..(i knw..im paranoid)..

Finally..Dr. Abby comes n rolls me into d operating theatre..its bright yellow..n freakin scary...those huge bright lights n shiny sharp stuf..they strap me 2 d table hands out..*imagine Jesus on the cross*..d nvt ting i knw..i wake up in a hospital room!....its over...they took out my appendix!...*joy...!*

So..spent d next few days in d hospital..watchin d Disney Channel..special thanks to eva and maria..thanks so much 4 visiting me u guys..means a lot 2 me..=)..got discharged on monday..moved round slower than me grandad 4 a few days..

newayz..this is a reli long post..

i'll put up pix of d buttond d Dr. used 2 sew up my wound in my next post..

Today Im Craving : My appendix back!

Pay It Forward

I saw 'Pay It Forward' starring Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt and Haley Joel Osment today. Its a great movie, dat i tink evryone shld watch at least once in their life. Its basically about an idea thot up by a 7th Grader (Haley J Osment) for an assignment given to him by his Social Studies tchr (K. Spacey). His idea is, if he does sumting good for 3 ppl..and those 3 do sumting to help another 3 ppl..and if the chain goes on and on..ultimately..it will change the world. Cos, in the end..evryone will be doin sumting good for sum one else..while they r also receiving kindness frm others. He tries this idea out on a homeless junkie..and even tho it seemed in d beginning dat his chain didnt catch on..it actually did..cos d junkie went on 2 save a woman from commiting suicide.. See, instead of sayin ' i'll pay u bak' wen sum one helps u..u help sum one else and say ' pay it fwd'..to keep d chain goin.. The really tragic ending is reli sad..but i wont spoil it 4 u..wanna knw den watch la!.. This movie is reli old and i bet millions of other ppl hv seen it..and tried the 'pay it fwd' idea..nonetheless, i wanna give it a shot. Even if my pay it fwd chain doesnt catch on beyond d 3 ppl or more, dat i will help..i will knw dat i at least made a diff to those 3. So..im starting my pay it fwd chain..rite..NOW! Thus, if anyone ever helps u den says ' pay it fwd'..pls let me knw..cos i wld love 2 try n track the chain 2 c if my efforts played a role in changing ppl's lives.. * I love inspirational shows..so im gonna suggest a few 'must-watch' movies * - John Q. ( Denzel Washington ) - The Replacements (Keanu Reeves) - Coach Carter ( Sam L. Jackson ) - Erin Brockovich ( Julia Roberts ) - Sister Act 2 ( Whoopi Goldberg ) That's all i can tink of 4 now..will add more..wen i rmmbr them.. =) Today I'm Craving : The 7th Harry potter book. ( Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows..Avada Kedavra!..Muahahahahaha..I am She-who-shall-not-be-named! )
