Rang song (2021)
What a letdown, especially the ending
This feels like a cheap version of The Wailing... I mean like really.. The Wailing had such such great conclusion (ending) that made me watch it multiple times. But this one? This ending suck. Unsatisfactory at freaking all. And also, the character. How are you so freaking dumb to live with possessed people in a same house, let alone with a freaking baby? Is this a shortcut to filmmaking now, to make all character become stupid?
Ada Hantu (2021)
Dumb title, dumb poster, but surprisingly GOOD film !
Wasn't expecting anything since this is Hairul Azreen debut as a director. The early part of the movie was quite dull, but it builds up to a very satisfying second half of this movie. I had a blast watching this movie to be honest. Kudos to Hairul Azreen & Adrian Teh (For the excellent screenplay) !
Zombitopia (2021)
No... No.. Just no...
The only good thing about this movie is Shaheizy Sam's acting. That's it. Really impressed that he alone can make this ridiculous movie become a little bit less ridiculous.
Cruella (2021)
This review is dedicated to the Jenny Beavan
Jenny Beavan, the costume designer did a fantastic job. A very very superb job to be honest. All the dresses were absurdly amazing, and all deserves more details and airtime.
Small Axe: Lovers Rock (2020)
You can skip this one
Came here directly after watching Mangrove, and boy oh boy..
There was exactly no storyline here.1 hour of high & horny people dancing and enjoying music. That's pretty much it. Nothing else happening. This is like a pretty freaking long music video, or an ad...
If not for the great music, I would've give this a 2 or 3...
2.0 (2018)
Disappointed
If you were to spend millions of budget to CGI, at least pour some budget to the storyline and screenplay for God's sake!
The storyline was garbage! Utter trash!
Nothing else could be said. For all of you out there who wants to watch this, think twice.
Ada Apa dengan Cinta? 2 (2016)
An Unnecassary Sequel
I really love Ada Apa Dengan Cinta (AADC)(2002). I love the whole thing of it. Cinta (Dian Sastro) carries the whole movie by herself. Kayaknya we were diving into her soul, her mind, her spirit in AADC (2002). That confusion, sadness, happiness, passion shown by Cinta was really damn good.
But sadly though, AADC 2 was too damn disappointing. In addition to that, if you watch it in Malaysia, all the kissing scene (3 Kissing Scene) have been cut. Sangat "Cibai". A real "Potong Stim".The movie itself was already crappy plus the cut, it could have never been shittier. From the start of the movie till the end I couldn't stop myself from peeking at my watch, hoping that it will end, but dammit it doesn't end any sooner than I thought. It was really dreadfully long. It was like you were being forced to eat something that you didn't love, let say "Bakso". And then even when you're full, you're still being forced to eat it even more and more and in the end, you'll end up puking. So what are the things that actually made this AADC 2 super crap and super bad? Well 1st of all is because I expect AADC 2 to be a good drama about love, to explore deeply and dive into what have been happening to Rangga & Cinta after so many years.Tapi what did you get were a lot of stupid jokes by Milly, which made the movie turned a bit into a stinky comedy-romance movie. I really don't think that the comedy elements are necessary since if i wanted to watch comedy i wouldn't have watch AADC2.Instead, I'll be watching Zoolander 2 or some other things. All the "try to be funny" and comedy elements were so unnecessary for me. 2nd, all the things looks kinda made up. For example like you've made yourself a perfect house.A damn perfect house. But somehow, you felt like like you wanted to add something to it which in the end made your house from "Perfect" turned to "Garbage". That story about Rangga's mom was like being made up just for the sake of that "Coincidence" cliché.3rd, is because of Cinta (Dian Sastro). I do believe in her talents and her soul based on AADC(2002). But sadly in AADC2, the director doesn't really focus on her at all. We must know that the strength of AADC is Cinta. She's the heart of it. But by downplaying her role, it really really leave a hole in the movie. A big hole really, that can't be fixed by Rangga's coolness.
To be honest, i really do regret spending my money to watch this. I should have watched other piece of crap instead of this stinky AADC2. Credit goes to Melly Goeslaw for creating a good song for this movie. But your song can't fix the cancer of this movie though. Astalavista, I'm not giving any rating to this movie because it deserves a negative.
Polis Evo (2015)
A Rare Breed of Malaysian Action Film
Skeptical. That's my first feeling when I heard the title and the casts. Because as you know it, Malaysian action films tend to be as tasteless as you could imagine. Try watching "Gangsterock" and you'll see it. The last time I watched a good quality action film from Malaysian Director was Gangster (2005), a film directed by Bade Hj. Azmi. It was so good that I couldn't find any other Malaysian film that can topple it. That was until I watch Polis Evo.
Directed by Ghaz Abu Bakar, I only knew him from his "Cicakman" and some Malaysian artist Music Video. Starring Zizan Razak and Shaheizy Sam, I never could imagine that they would be good pair. I mean really good. What I loved the most about the film was the action scene. Ghaz Abu Bakar was trying so hard to make it as "Hollywood" as it can. Explosives, car chases, shooting scenes, all were shot brilliantly in a very Hollywood manner. Although the budget for the film was quite high, but it certainly paid off with the whopping RM17 millions Box Office.
A certain perfection and quality must be reached for a film to be good, and this time, Ghaz has reached it. I am really hoping that this film would be an "eye-opener" to all of Malaysian film directors out there. Pound some budget, put some work and tremendous effort on it, caress it with quality and perfection, and it will definitely be paid off.
Terbaik Dari Langit (2014)
"Terbaik Dari Langit" was not really "terbaik" at all.
I've watched Nik Amir Mustapha past work before, which was KIL, and to me it was quite good. I've started to believe that there's still hope for Malaysian Cinema after the release of KIL. And now, another work from him, come with a compelling title "Terbaik Dari Langit" (The original title for the film was "Bikin Filem"). I'm really pumped up upon the release of this film. Hoping maybe for a sci-fi flick or maybe a good drama based movie.
But....God, never have I been so wrong.
At the end of the film my first thought was "Mehhhh. Not good. Definitely not good." Firstly, I could say that this movie had no direction at all. The elements of UFO were being used just simply to brought you to just "We will put UFO and then we will show them it's about friendship and not about UFO." It was like seeing the usual TV drama, but just adding some UFO and CGI simply just want to make the things better. It didn't work for me at all. Secondly, the movie make me feel kinda empty due the looseness of the plot. It's about friendship but I didn't feel it at all. The plot execution was not hard enough. There was no ups and downs. It was like hearing a progressive house song without any bass in it. Thirdly, it was bloody predictable. From the moments when it start you can already know what would happened next, I guarantee you. Friends, fight, reunion, happy. Boom.
To conclude it, "Terbaik Dari Langit" was not quite good at all. Some of you were saying that it injects a lot of messages. But hey, when you think back, all movies can injects you with some messages. It's just depends on how you wanted to interpret it. And I would interpret "Terbaik Dari Langit" as a "Not Terbaik At All".
