Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 Movie Review
Hey readers!
The release of the eighth, and final, installment of the highest grossing film series of all time, the highly anticipated Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, was celebrated at midnight showings across the country.Even if you happen to be one of those few people who have not seen a single Harry Potter film or read any of the novels, it’s doubtful you have escaped Harry Potter madness completely. A series that has grown along with its audience,some of which could easily be considered children’s movies.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 adalah lakonan Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Helena Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes and Tom Felton. PART 2 picks up not long after PART 1 ended, with Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) at the grave of Dobby the Elf. Harry and his fellow young wizard best friends Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) are trying to find and destroy the horcruxes – hidden pieces of soul – keeping evil wizard Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) alive. They’d better hurry, because Voldemort and his followers are taking over the magical world, torturing or killing anyone who defies them.Voldemort’s minions are even in control of Harry’s beloved alma mater, the wizarding school Hogwarts. Not coincidentally, Harry’s quest leads him back to Hogwarts, and he learns that he and Voldemort are bound together by more than either imagined.They unite with their fellow students from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to do battle with the evil Lord Voldemort and his insidious army, which includes the malicious Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter).
What’s really wonderful about the screenplay and direction, though, are how they take what could be scenes of flashback exposition and make them heart-wrenching. One major character’s back story reportedly has caused some audience members to burst into tears. The sequence is certainly powerful, the more so because it has a moral complexity that has been completely earned, but nevertheless may surprise people who stubbornly think of the whole HARRY POTTER series as children’s fare. The film has, undoubtedly, the darkest themes of all the movies. Although it mostly embraces the heaviness of its plot, the film also continually breaks tension with jokes. While this did succeed in lightening the mood of the movie, it makes it difficult to remain invested in the story in the same way.
The release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is indeed bittersweet, as it marks the end of an era – one of Quidditch, magic wands, pet owls, invisibility cloaks, and jelly beans that taste like vomit – the era of Harry Potter.Despite its flaws, this is a motion picture event that should not be missed especially if you have stuck with Harry all this while.
I comment this movie (4) ★★★★only.

Monte Carlo Movie Review
Hey readers!
Although marketed as tween-baiting pap to secure Disney Channel generation attention, Monte Carlo is a softer romantic fantasy, providing a few unexpectedly human moments in the midst of its mischief. I loved this movie. Monte Carlo was really good because there were many parts of the movie that looked challenging for the actors. They had to show lots of feelings and real emotion. This movie also has one of my favorite actresses in it; Leighton Meester. I also love that they shot this movie in Monte Carlo which looked really, really cool.
Monte Carlo adalah lakonan Selena Gomez, Katie Cassidy, Leighton Meester, Cory Monteith and Andie MacDowell. Fresh out of high school, Grace (Selena Gomez) is eager to visit Paris, teaming up with best friend Emma (Katie Cassidy) and stepsister Meg (Leighton Meester) to tour the City of Lights. While their budget vacation offers them the highlights, a chance encounter with snotty heiress, and Grace’s lookalike, Cordelia (also Gomez) provides the ladies with an opportunity to borrow an identity and take off to Monte Carlo, where luxury awaits. When Grace trades lives with Cordelia (also Selena Gomez) she gets to have a good time until Cordelia finds out.
While watching Monte Carlo, I kept thinking few rules that must be remember: don’t leave the group, don’t wander off with strangers, always keep your cell phone charged and with you, trust no one – especially a cute boy – and no, you’re never going to Europe with a friend! But those classic romantic comedies never worried about such things. Everyone was always safe, the people were nice and friendly, and happy endings were abundant. But real life doesn’t work that way, especially in these modern times with unsavory characters at every turn. HAHA!
The girls then go into romantic individual story lines, each one more dull and pointless than the next. Grace’s romance with French socialite Theo, Emma must decide between a snooty guy she meets who rarely speaks and is played by an unknown actor or her sweet Texan boyfriend played by Glee's Cory Monteith and and Meg hits it off with an Australian backpacker (Luke Bracey).
Leighton and Katie are also very likable in their roles. Katie Cassidy are the funny ones. I love her comedic character and the bitchy ones. Monte Carlo is a movie that has lots of life lessons. For example, don’t try to be someone you aren’t. Grace learned to always be herself and never stop because, if you don’t, things might just go in the wrong direction.This movie worked for me and good movie to watch this summer.

Transformers 3: Dark of The Moon Movie Review
Hey readers!
It’s not very often that the third installment in a movie franchise is better than it’s prequels.After the called Rise of the Fallen many people did not have high expectations of this new release including myself. Transformers 3 was a well thought out Transformers story from both the human and robot sides of the movie. It felt like the franchise had matured to this point in time. Points in the movie were pulled from the history of the franchise and expounded upon.
Transformers 3: Dark of The Moon adalah lakonan Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Josh Duhamel,Tyrese Gibson and Patrick Dempsey. Transformers movies will not be the same without Megan Foxx. Oh! I missed her. Rosie Huntington took over the role as the new girlfriend (Carly Spencer). She is the eye candy for the fellas but that is about it. During the fighting scenes Huntington always seems to emerge like she was about to hit a Victoria Secret runway, instead of coming out of a dangerous situation distraught. The story line was cheesy; Sam (Shia LaBeouff) appeared to be kitty whoop throughout the entire movie.
The story of the movie ditches most everything from the Revenge of the Fallen and instead focuses on the history of the Autobot/Decepticon war.The third and final film began with a flashback to a Cybertronian spacecraft, known as the Ark, crashing on the Moon. The launch of Apolo 11, not just a race to the moon, but on a secret government mission to retrieve information.On the Ark, countless Autobot bodies lie, deactivated, and the revelation that the Autobot Elder, and the previous owner of the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, Sentinel Prime awaits his rescue. The first shock of the film comes with the appearance of living legend and national hero, Buzz Aldren. It is learned that humans have been working with Decepticons for decades. A betrayal occurs, and an Autobot hero dies. The situation becomes severe, and Optimus Prime truly rises in this darkest hour.
Familiar Decepticons Megatron, Soundwave, Starscream, and even Barricade plot their plans to enslave Earth, with new faces Shockwave and Laserbeak bringing a new, terrifying presence to the Decepticon regime. The Decepticon plan, is to bring Cybertron into the orbit of the Earth and use humans as slaves to help rebuild. (You guys must be wondering how I can remember all Autobot names. I google them! Yay.)
Never has so much action been so boring. And I believe I know why: I didn't care for any of these characters, because I didn't really get to know them. These characters literally get less character development than the random background actors. Instead of development, we get goofy antics of various characters, which fails to cop much laughter from me.
If you just want some entertainment and could care less about story line, and dialogue then check it out. If not, I suggest you skip this all together, and go see X-Men: First Class which is the full package of an action flick with a hell of a story line.I really wanted to like this film, alas we are sadly handed an action fest of vapid proportions. Tragic. But really, like you've never seen it before. Hopefully whatever Michael Bay does next will be something...exceptional.

Green Lantern Movie Review
Hey readers!
I went into Green Lantern expecting a solid summer action movie and that’s exactly what I got. Personally I’ve never been a fan of the character and I don’t even know that much about the Green Lantern. After seeing the movie, it’s evident I have some catching up to do. Green Lantern was an anticipated movie of Summer 2011. Comic fans and movie goers alike looked forward to this movie of the Super Hero in green known as Green Lantern, but did it live up to its expectations? Let's take a look.
Green Lantern adalah lakonan Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Mark Strong and Peter Sarsgaard. The story starts us off explaining the Green Lantern Ring and what the Green Lanterns are and how they are basically the police of the galaxy. Apparently a great evil was sealed away thousands of years ago but was brought back with the power of Fear. That's another thing, the super powers of the movie is based off emotions. Green Lanterns are based on Will power while the bad guys are yellow and based off Fear.
Anyway, the Green Lantern that sealed away this great evil was hurt in battle and flew to Earth by chance. Here we see Hal (Ryan Reynolds) our would-be hero to discover that he is a dead beat with certain charm and loaded with witty remarks. Hal is a pilot for the airforce who gets abducted by a green light and brought to the Green Lantern that came to earth to give him his ring before he dies which turns Hal into the new Green Lantern.power, chooses hotshot test pilot Hal. Hal is haunted by the death of his own father, something that pushes him into depths of loneliness and irresponsibility to the dismay of his colleagues, particularly his on-and-off love interest Carol (Blake Lively). I actually liked Blake Lively as Carol, who brings 10x the spunk that Natalie Portman did in Thor (Although, I just can't accept how beautiful a co-pilot can be nowadays)
Aside from that there are a lot of plotholes and many characters kinda just show up for no reason and Hal is able to get to places randomly, it's never really explained how he is able to find people when he has no idea where they are. I'm getting to the point where comic book movies are starting to feel a bit too comic booky.But the fight scenes are cool and the Ring's powers are very interesting and fun to look at, also the aliens and the Green Lantern suit is awesome and it moves constantly.
Green Lantern isn’t great, and even good might be a stretch, but it’s certainly not the abomination it’s been made out to be. Part of its failure is in its loopy source material, which couldn’t have looked much different translated into film, and I think we have to start questioning which superheroes actually deserve the big screen treatment.

Last Saturday I went to Jovian Mandagie Raya Collection 2011 Fashion Show located at Solaris Dutamas. I was excited to watch his fashion show for the very first time. To share my excitement I asked Afif, Ass and Yazid (current intern) to accompany me. Because I'm afraid that I will be left alone don't know who to talk to, lol.
I was amazed once the show started. The opening song was a brilliant choice, until now I don't know what's the tittle of the song. The guests were all most of them well known socialites and local celebrities. Actress Rebecca Nur Islam was one of my favourite guest that evening. She's so pretty in live.
There were two parts of Jovian Mandagie's Raya Collection 2011. The first part are targeting the young and edgy fashion lovers and second part are more into classical designs. During that evening, I met two new friends; Farrah and unknown! Haha.
I should admit that Jovian Mandagie are one talented designer and I hope his collection can go further and be on top in line with other international fashion designers. Well done. You can visit Jovian Mandagie's website here.

Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Movie Review
Hey readers!
In this fourth installment of the Pirates franchise, it's clear that careful thought and consideration was put in to the film to make it interesting, as opposed to just a rehash of the same old, same old. And most importantly, with most of the original cast gone and a new director, is it any good? The answer to the latter is ‘not very', as Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides looks nice but lacks the energy of the previous entries.
Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides adalah lakonan Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Penelope Cruz and Ian McShane. Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is captured by the King of England after a botch attempt to save his First Mate from prison. King George II reveals that the Spanish is on a mission to get to the Fountain of Youth - Sparrow must help the English in getting there first. On hand to help him is Barbarossa (Geoffrey Rush) - now a Privateer in the King's Services. Jack Sparrow manages to escape and eventually meets Angelica (Penelope Cruz) - a woman from his past. Angelica double crosses him and takes Sparrow into the Queen Ann's Revenge.
Blackbeard (Ian McShane) is also in need of the Fountain of Youth to save himself from a deathly fate. Having no choice, Hector Barbarossa sets off with the help of Jack Sparrow's first mate who reveals he has memorized the map to the Fountain of Youth. Who will get to the Fountain of Youth first - The evil Blackbeard, the powerful English or the religious Spanish?
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides stands on its own as new film outside the first franchise trilogy. In fact, you won't need to watch the first three films to understand the movie. Most importantly, this has the classic Pirates of the Caribbean formula we have all come to love - a fast-paced, non-stop action fantasy film with the quirky antics of a Captain Jack Sparrow. Johnny Depp still does a flawless Jack Sparrow and everyone else did their part in the acting department.
‘Boring.' It's a funny word to use for a movie with so much action. There are plenty of action sequences throughout, some of which are pretty elaborate. And yet when all is said and done, only one truly great scene stands out to me - the mermaid attack - while the others all feel like one long swordfight.The most interesting characters are Philip (Sam Claflin) and the mermaid Syrena (Astrid Berges-Frisbey). Their budding relationship is intriguing and simultaneously the most tenuous, but Philip is purely a secondary character and Syrena a prop.
Despite its flaws, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is tolerable throughout. But "tolerable throughout" is not an acceptable level for a tentpole franchise like this. Wait to rent it, or better yet, just watch Curse of the Black Pearl again.

Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is captured by the King of England after a botch attempt to save his First Mate from prison. King George II reveals that the Spanish is on a mission to get to the Fountain of Youth - Sparrow must help the English in getting there first. On hand to help him is Barbarossa (Geoffrey Rush) - now a Privateer in the King's Services. Jack Sparrow manages to escape and eventually meets Angelica (Penelope Cruz) - a woman from his past. Angelica double crosses him and takes Sparrow into the Queen Ann's Revenge.
Blackbeard (Ian McShane) is also in need of the Fountain of Youth to save himself from a deathly fate. Having no choice, Hector Barbarossa sets off with the help of Jack Sparrow's first mate who reveals he has memorized the map to the Fountain of Youth. Who will get to the Fountain of Youth first - The evil Blackbeard, the powerful English or the religious Spanish?
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides stands on its own as new film outside the first franchise trilogy. In fact, you won't need to watch the first three films to understand the movie. Most importantly, this has the classic Pirates of the Caribbean formula we have all come to love - a fast-paced, non-stop action fantasy film with the quirky antics of a Captain Jack Sparrow. Johnny Depp still does a flawless Jack Sparrow and everyone else did their part in the acting department.
‘Boring.' It's a funny word to use for a movie with so much action. There are plenty of action sequences throughout, some of which are pretty elaborate. And yet when all is said and done, only one truly great scene stands out to me - the mermaid attack - while the others all feel like one long swordfight.The most interesting characters are Philip (Sam Claflin) and the mermaid Syrena (Astrid Berges-Frisbey). Their budding relationship is intriguing and simultaneously the most tenuous, but Philip is purely a secondary character and Syrena a prop.
Despite its flaws, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is tolerable throughout. But "tolerable throughout" is not an acceptable level for a tentpole franchise like this. Wait to rent it, or better yet, just watch Curse of the Black Pearl again.
I comment this movie (3) ★★★only.
Super 8 Movie Review
Hey readers!
Last month I saw the movie Super 8 at KLCC. One of the movies from my Must See Movies list. Wow… this movie got right into it at the start. We only have to wait about 15 minutes to receive a spectacular train crash, then kept a steady pace throughout. It has the spirit and style of E.T. and greatest 70s era all over it. Even though Steven Spielberg only receives the “producer’ credits we can see much of his influences in the movie. The sentimental coming-of-age drama embodied by the Super 8 kids doesn't mesh with the suspenseful monster thriller. The director appears to have mashed them together and painted over the jagged seams with nostalgia; the duct tape of Hollywood.
Super 8 adalah lakonan Joel Courtney, Kyle Chandler, Elle Fanning and Noah Emmerich, Zach Mills, Gabriel Basso. By watching the trailer you already know this is a late-'70s set creature feature in which a group of kids setting out to make a zombie movie end up capturing, on film, a dramatic train crash as well as a glimpse at whatever monster it was transporting. Joe Lamb (Joel Courtney) plays the film's lead character and at the outset we learn his mother has recently died due to an on the job accident at the local steel mill. Both Joe and his father (Kyle Chandler), a local police officer, are suffering from their loss, but with a lack of back-story to their relationship.
While helping his best friend, Charles (Riley Griffiths), put together his zombie film, Joe forms a crush on the film's new female lead, Alice Dainard (Elle Fanning), the daughter of the man, Joe's father blames for his wife's death. Upon hearing the news, Joe's father forbids him from spending any time with her.
Standout sequence? A classic bit of shadow play involving a gas station, a teen attendant listening to Blondie’s ‘Heart Of Glass’ on his Walkman, a cop filling his cruiser to the plaintive ting-ting-ting of the gas pump, some rustling treetops and, finally, an out-of-focus attack.
I would like to point out Elle Fanning specifically. She showed some chops in Sofia Coppola's Somewhere last year, but here she has something of a moment inside a moment. As the kids are filming their zombie movie she falls into character and gives a performance that not only knocks the young protagonists off their feet, but tells the audience we have a true star on our hands.
For the most part, Super 8 is likely fun to watch but I was a bit disappointed with the ending. The ending was overly predictable and familiar to the point that it lacks in surprise.This is definitely a must see for 2011 and for fans of children adventures and E.T. aficionados.

Hey readers!
Tengku Zatashah covers the July 2011 issue of GLAM Malaysia magazine. The cover reminds me of GLAM Lelaki with Faizal Tahir on the cover.
