Parental Guidance and Good Sense!

Wholesome fun!
It really brings back the joys of the movies of the 1990's.

It could be thirty years down the road but this type of movie continues to entertain in that special manner that is at once unadulterated fun without losing the issue of the day.

Yes, "Parenting" or the lack of it.

In this movie, Billy Crystal and Bette Midler are the parents that have been invited over to take care of their grandchildren when their parents have to go out of town. The kids and their idiosyncrasies will drive anyone up the wall and they did.

However, as in most movies, there come the time for resolution and ultimately, triumph!

Great movie, great dialogue and great acting,kids!

Escape from Planet Earth

Aliens Trapped on Earth
If you think space creature cartoons are alien and possibly distasteful, think again.

The characters developed in this cartoon feature,"Escape from Planet Earth" is one marvelous offering that truly entertains.

Lovable Creatures
In every way, it encapsulates the strengths and weaknesses of characters, their flaws and failings and oftentimes their need for unnecessary revenge that leads to abuse of power upon their fellow beings, be they aliens from distant stars or otherwise.

I enjoyed this movie very much for its dialogue and the simply irresistible appealing music and songs.

True blue family fare.

Great movie to watch with the kids!

OZ-Great and Powerful Again

An Interesting Outing
I think this is a re-run and it features James Franco in a comical role as that always in absentia Wizard of OZ that conned the whole Emerald City and yet won the day. Sam Raimi directs.

Franco as the circus magician
Together along with him this time are the lovable and charming Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams  and Rachel Weisz.

Pretty Players
From a black and white beginning it transforms into full vivid colour when we can out of the hurricane into Oz. This reminds me of the same mode used in that classic Wizard of Oz of yesteryear.

There is great special effects here though the story continues to be corny and insipid.

Is this a True Reflection?

Is Teng Boo calling a spade a spade because of an exogenous factor called the NEP?

Watch this.

The Roots of Good Judgement

These days people are getting more judgmental.

Do they think that they know more and that what they think counts.

More Need not be Said
This cartoon provides a real sober thought.

Oblivion For Sure.....

Oblivious Movie!
If you try to understand the movie,"Oblivion", it become very difficult as the premises are overtly futuristic and there are so many issues that the movie have that the writer and screenplay just cannot put them into a cogent whole.

Cross-hair confusion
This is a movie of wanton action where you would wonder through the film just like Tom Cruise did in the movie.

Some say it is a great movie with a box office of more than US$200 million and still going strong.

But I am confused despite the box-office takings

Pretty Innocence
The saving grace will be Olga Kurylenko who at least provide some eye candy if you get lost in the movie..........

Future Impossible Tense-Is This Applicable to Malaysia?

This a new tense we will have to grapple in jest in Malaysia; what with the kind of perception about corruption in Malaysia.

What a laugh!
A grammarian will really be in stitches about the newly  minted future impossible tense.

Only in Malaysia?

Malaysia Boleh!
