well, technically i haven't read much lately. you know why?
because my ebooks are practically MISSING.
yes, missing.
my Sherlock holmes, pretty little liars, hunger games triology, chick flicks, all were missing.

story is that my laptop was fried one day and all the things that weren't really mine was lost, never to be found again.
sad thing, i knew. luckily my proposal was okay ( i found it after i went on a crying tirade and called my mother, man, i was such a mess then).

well, gotta haunt more ebooks then.


movie review: coraline

well, mase tngah main2 naik turun cursor, terjumpa movie ni, mesti ada yang masukkan (wink wink thanks :3)
coraline... hmmm. what can i make out of this movie. honestly i think this is like the mix of tim burton and alice in wonderland.
unless in wonderland alice got the red queen but coraline got a  beldam  (whatever that is).
i think this is like a fresh take that the usual movies. but at the first half it was quite boring, the storyline was rather slow then, but it gets better.
well i really suggest this to anyone who want a little something different.


button eyes, signal that you should run, Coraline

i'm back

hello, the wallflower is pretty much intact. maybe a bit dusty but still watching and understanding. it's funny how people sometimes try to hide something so obvious behind pretenses and words. i believe in action not words. i believe what i saw.

whoaa...very out of the introductory topic. bet seriously, i'm back.

movie review: we need to talk about kevin


i watched the movie last night. i had it for so long but i never watched it because i didn't have the mood. but last night i decided that i must watch it or else i won't.
considering that i read the book, the plot was easily comprehended.   however, if you never read the movie, i welcome you to the world of confusion.
there's something chilling about how the story march back and forth in the movie. from the tomato festival to the red paint to the halloween costume to the water pump and the cracked eggs. all of it mere part of the book, carefully crafted via the point of view of a mother who at some point reluctant of her own son and the other fight for his attention.
i think all Kevin want was attention from his mother. he seemed to detected that her mother didn't really wanted him at first, (mommy was happy before little Kevin come along, now everyday mommy wake up every morning and wish she was in France). but it was not hugs and kisses that he wanted out of his mother, no, he enjoy riled her up to the point where she cracked. and when she cracked to Kevin, he had won.
the ultimate of cracking his mother up  is when he murdered his father, sister Celia (who is totally opposite of him) and a few schoolmates in a well planned massacre.
other people maybe had bailed on him, let him rot in jail or whatever, but not Eva. she still visited him at fixed time. granted, the visit was lack of conversation but it shows that whatever it is, to Eva, Kevin is the only relation to her deceased husband (Franklin) that she had. Kevin in a way still had a piece of her that was shattered the day he murdered the family. at the nearly end of the movie we can see that Eva painted a room in the small house the same blue like in Kevin's old room and arrange his furniture the way he did in the old house, with no personal influence.  in a way, it shows that Eva still welcome him home, after he finished his time at Sing Sing.
this movies didn't consist a lot of dialogue. Eva expressed her feeling through her action so did Kevin, by the way he looked at Eva.
the director (Lynne Ramsay)  and the actors managed to bring the deep feeling from the book into the movie and at the same time didn't lose the chill that Lionel Shriver had crafted in the book.
playing the character Eva, tilda swinton brings up back and forth inside her memory of the incident. ahe showed a great deal of emotion without much conversation. but the chilling factor that was brought bu Ezra Miller (kevin) is really what make the movie special. Ezra Miller is the perfect Kevin K.

kanak-kanak dan pembunuhan

kebelakangan ni terlalu banyak berita tentang kematian kanak-kanak disiarkan. terutama sekali akibat kekejaman israel. pagi tadi pulak aku terbaca berita tentang school shooting kat U.S.

israel membunuh kanak-kanak palestin sebagai salah satu cara menghapuskan kaum. selain itu, mereka juga menghapuskan bakal-bakal pejuang jihad islam. mereka membunuh kanak-kanak ini supaya nanti tidak ramai/ ada yang akan membalas dendam kepada mereka (pemikiran israel). kerana itu mereka membunuh kanak-kanak dan juga wanita yang satu hari nanti akan melahirkan ramai lagi pejuang-pejuang jihad Allah yang akan berusaha menundukkan yahudi laknatullah.

shool shooting dan U.S memang tidak dapat dipisahkan. Public massacre sebegini selalu sahaja terjadi. namun apa yang membuatkan saya sedih adalah mangsa bagi kejadian kali ini adalah pelajar-pelajar sekolah rendah dan juga beberapa kakitangan sekolah dewasa. biasa yang kita dengar adalah pelajar sekolah tinggi menembak rakan-rakan sekolahnya sendiri kerana tekanan perasaan akibat dibuli, penyalahgunaan dadah dan sebagainya. saya tidak dapat bayangkan apakah kesalahan kanak-kanak ini sehingga mereka ditembak sedemikian. malah lebih teruk lagi, penembak telah terlebih dahulu menembak ibunya sendiri yang merupakan guru di sekolah rendah tersebut di rumah mereka. apa yang mendorong dia melakukan perkara itu? soalan yang tiada jawapan yang pasti. 

kanak-kanak mempunyai perjalanan yang lebih jauh lagi. mereka akan menjadi pemimpin dan juga mengubah corak kehidupan di masa akan datang. saya berharap kematian kanak-kanak sama ada secara kemalangan, peperangan, penderaan, kecuaian, kelaparan, pengguguran dan sebagainya tidak lagi berlaku. ini bukan tentang agama, kaum dan cara pemikiran. ini adalah tentang kemanuasiaan. bersama hentikan pembunuhan kanak-kanak.

book review: paper towns

another book from my favorite author, john green. paper towns is about  a boy who had been crushing on this girl forever. one night of a well cooked plan give him hope but alas, the girl disappeared, leaving a bread crumbs trail for the boy to follow.

paper towns is a really good read. i love the road trip part the most. i honestly don't think the story is really about Quentin's love towards Margo but it is more about the friendship in between Q, Ben and Radar and also acceptance in between Lacey and Ben. in this story, i think Lacey is braver than Margo. she loves Ben and she is not afraid to show it. she maybe was ditched from the popular crowd but she didn't wallow over it. she took it like a champ. hell, she literally sponsored the road trip. she wasn't afraid to be seen with the unpopular crowd and she cherish them like how people cherish their friends. she jumped head first into the road trip not because she is with Ben (clingy GF, yikes) but she wanted to find Margo. i think john green simply un'pigeonholed' Lacey to tell the world that we can be with anyone we like, we can be awesome in our own way. Lacey is also a symbol of breaking the peer pressure.


paper town make me reflect on how we see others and how we see ourselves. what we see in people probably not really what she/he is. it maybe just the surface of a deeper feeling.
i think we see people just like we see ourselves in mirrors. we don't really see beneath the skin that was showing. just like people, we don't really see them except for what they show us and for what we want to believe.


and i think Margo  Roth Spiegelman is a selfish bitch.

the biggest bitches of them all

everyone who had watched a teen flick/ girl romance surely well acquitted with the bitch of the story. the queen bee, the  mean girl. well today i'm gonna list down three of my favorite bitches in  movie/TV shows.

first, the evil manifestation of Regina George of Mean Girls. she's fabulous but she's evil. she is the bitch that got run over by the bus. her plan on revenge was not so cool but her wardrobe are to die for and her one liners are just simply put, stabbing. she single handedly caused a mayhem in highschool.  Regina is not someone you wanna cross. if hell bent on revenge, the burn book was milder compared to what she can craft.








my next favorite bitch is Courtney Shane from the movie  Jawbreaker (1999).  Courtney Alice Shayne is the most popular, dominant and mean girl of school and loves it! Nobody stands in her way of getting what she wants. But when she and her friends Marcie and Julie kill their friend Liz by mistake, they swear to hide it. But when the nerdy Fern witnesses the murder, Courtney is forced into transforming her into the beautiful Vylette as an composation of silencing the truth. now, how's that for a cold blooded bitch. courtney was well aware  of her chances to be the prom queen now that the gentle queen, Liz is dead. she can act all nonchalant and put a good "i-don't-do-anything-wrong" facade so well that it needed a good luck to bring her down.  

Still of Rose McGowan and Julie Benz in Jawbreaker









but the best bitch is Blair Waldorf. sassy one liners, beauty and wardrobe to die for, Blair is the mastermind of evil scheme. she is the Blair Bitch of  Upper East Side. she had power, money to execute and make such a damn good use of the Gossip Girl. (it really helps of Gossip girl favors you). this girl knows what she want and how to get it. she harnessed her headband to be her crown and only her can wear it better.  she didn't care about sinking her claws on her own best friend is if what it takes to have what she want. she is adorable yet dangerous. her evil plotting and scheming not only limit to the girls but also the boys. she is dreaming of becoming a powerful woman and she is on her way...











Yup, that's  three bitches are really good.... bitches!
