HANTU KAK LIMAH BALIK RUMAH (2011)

The movie good?:

BORING! NOT FUNNY! And a disgrace to Malaysian Cinema.

Tell me, is it worth watching?:

Not for me. The movie is predictable from start to finish. Not funny at all. I am glad that I didn’t spent a penny to watch this crap. What is this? A horror comedy? Melodrama Horror Comedy?? I am not a person who didn’t have a sense of humor but this movie is just bad. Bad acting. Bad directing. Bad scriptwriting. I think this movie is solely for Mamat Khalid or Awie fans.

What is it about actually?, ‘cos I don’t want ended up sleeping!!:

I wish I was sleeping..

IMDb Rating:

IMDb gives 8.7/10. This must be votes from Mamat Khalid fanatics.

RED (2010)

The movie good?:

A few weeks ago there’s The Expandables, now again we have RED with senior citizens as the main casts. Overall this is very much the film you would expect it’s going to be. Great action. A lots of shooting. Gun blazing. And yeah there’s a plenty of funny jokes especially from John Malkovich. It’s a good movie in terms of entertaining value and could be a good selection if you want an action-comedy treat.

Tell me, is it worth watching?:

It’s fun and it’s worth to watch till the end. However don’t expect a good plot and mind you there’s not much of a script here, so all the cast’s personalities have to carry the story and luckily they have pull it off especially from Malkovich. John Malkovich steals the show with maybe the performance of his career. Every time he came on screen the whole theater would be dying with laughter. Having said that, I feel slightly cheated about Helen Mirren, cos you know, they promote the film like it’s all about Helen Mirren – I remember read somewhere when they say that Mirren was like a real CIA agent in this film, only to find that she doesn’t even show up until the second act and then only assists through the end. It’s not the best film ever made, the story could have been a little tighter, but I can promise you’ll have a lot of fun and you will be laughing your ass off through most of it.

What is it about actually?, ‘cos I don’t want ended up sleeping!!:
