We had mentioned about the ‘Your Grandfather’s Road’ previously. It’s a groundbreaking film project where any of you, me and yes even your grandfather could influence the creation process. For two months now the Your Grandfather’s Road team has been posting stories and gathering inputs from everyone. The project now has moved into its next phase, pre-production. Read more...

I’ve to say that this year must have been a good year for local film industry. I’ve watched and enjoyed more local film this years then all years I’ve been a movie buff. It’s either local film industry are showing signs of improvement or just that Hollywood have been dishing out crap after crap, of remakes and more remakes. Read more...

It’s a James Bond mania at the cinema right now. As everybody gets excited to see their favorite British secret agent in action, I was not as much.
I didn’t went to see The Quantum of Solace like everybody else on Friday, instead I went to see Budak Kelantan. That somehow had put the movie Budak Kelantan (Kelantan Boys) in a difficult position. Is it worth putting Quantum of Solace off to watch Budak Kelantan? Will it pass the test?
After watching Budak Kelantan, I’ve to say that I am glad that I put off the James Bond flick for another day. I mean James Bond will always be James Bond, cars, guns, bond girls, explosions are all as expected. However, movie like Budak Kelantan only comes once in a blue moon.
First of all, this movie, Budak Kelatan had zero hype what so ever. The reason I watch it because someone I know said it’s worth watching, and from blogs that I read, giving it a fairly good review. The movie only means of promotions were probably only by word of mouth, apart form the lame ass stupid movie poster.
Yes thats a really lame poster. I remember laughing so hard at the cinema lobby after seeing the poster for the first time. One part of the whole production of the movie that went disastrously wrong would be the poster design. Please do not take the poster seriously, instead I suggest you watch the trailer, I’ll embed the Youtube video after the synopsis.

Went to watch KAMI the movie during the first day of Raya. After all the boring Raya usual ritual stuff in the morning I went straight to Cineleisure Damansara. Interesting to see everyone with their pretty baju Raya at the movies.
I wanted to write this sooner, but life has other plans for me, and I had to launch MakanByte a food blog. Anyhow, this is my take on the movie.
It was well written and all that I had expected it to be. It was good but not great. I wont be going too detail as I do not want to reveal spoilers for those who haven’t yet watch the movie. And I do recommend you watch this.

KAMI is a local TV mini series that made its debut on 8TV sometime ago and was re-aired recently. It has now gain a small but fast growing cult following among young local teens.
The first thing that got me watching this mini series was the music. My brother caught the series trailer on 8TV, he then record it on his phone and showed it to me. It has this cool wacky music track, it was Meet Uncle Hussain‘s La La La Kerja Lah.
That was enough to grab my interest to watch the show.
The first episode blows my mind away and got me hooked for the rest of the show. When it comes to local Malay TV series, I’m not much of a fan. You can expect the same thing again and again.
KAMI on the other hand feels fresh and doesn’t feel like most of the typical local Malay drama series. I’ve to say that I am quite impress with how the series was written.

Just finished watching ‘Wanted‘, the action movie based loosely on the comic book miniseries of the same name by Mark Millar. It stars Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman and some other actors I can’t remember.
The story revolves around a character named Wesley Gibson, who starts out as a god forsaken, disaffected, cube-dwelling, clock-punching drone. His life are nothing but boredom and routine. A similar tone to the movie Fight Club, one of my favorite movie ever.
One day, Wesley was picked up by the sexy foxy woman named Fox. Everything changes. He was introduced to a world of bullet bending super assassin killers, that belonged to a super secret society known as The Fraternity. They then train him to bend bullets, how to kill, how to feel no pain and eventually become one of them.
I wish a sexy Angelina look-alike would pick me up to join her fraternity too, don’t we all?

Warning: This movie reviews might or might not contain spoilers. Read it at your own risk.
Eastern Promises is the new David Cronenberg movie. You might remember him from other movie he directed such as History of Violence and the classic 1986′s The Fly.
Eastern Promises has completely changed the way I think about the Russian mafia. They made the Italian mafia look like a social club. No doubt, this movie could just become this generation’s ‘Godfather‘.
