Dunia Baru The Movie -> g tgk ngan bdk2 A&A, slps 'kemarau' dlm menonton filem2 melayu. Maybe sbb 'hooked' dgn karakter2 dunia baru the series, so rasa excited nk tgk. Tp, kali nih mmg aku masuk panggung tanpa sbrg harapan, n dat surely is a formula to apply when watching mly movie(s)! Mngambil kira kemelayuaannya, aku still rasa DBTM nih worth to watch. Besh jugak road trip, m'sian style. Bnyk part tak kering gusi(dgn iringan gelak tawa faezah n kwn2 yusma). Cuma kalu diorg lebey explore relationship opie, adif n erica dan fazli n anizah, maybe yg bkn fans of the series pun akn enjoy tgk!

Jumper -> Senang ckp, a typical hollywood action movie doomed for a sequel!!! but meatball Ikea still a treat whatsoever! he he he... kn nader kn?!

Juno -> Tgk DVD ja! Ellen was marvellous! Cuma waktu 1jam 1/2++ tuh t'lampau pendek untuk carry emosi cerita nih. J. garner tak menonjol sgt n si mamat arrested development tuh, mmg rasa nk sepak ja, maybe bkn semata2 sbb karakter dia tp sbb mmg aku meluat tgk dia! ha ha ha... A creative storyline than the usual yg ditonton. Slalunya fokus adalah pd emosi n dilema mereka yg nk adopt, tapi this film focussed more on the pregnant girl yg nk kasi baby tuh kt org. N citer nih avoid cliche dgn tdk t'lampau fokus dilema si Juno yg terpaksa g skolah smua sbb mengandung dlm usia 16 n all serta perception msyrkt yg even in the west, memandang serong! 1 2 scene yg ada elemen tuh pun was handled quite good. Tak heranla kalu t'calon ocsar for acting n best movie.

Accros the Universe -> Totally a new definition of a musical! Mengambil musik beetles menjadi latar hidup ank remaja di zaman 60an, tema cinta n perang yg mmg hangat waktu itu diolah dgn penuh elemen seni, muzik dan 'drama'. Walau aku rasa story dia ntahpapa, tp gimmick in the musical numbers (incluing UK's Bono punya cameo tuh) mmg 1 niche ntok film nih! bagi sapa fans beetles, jgn lupa tgk n bagi yg tak minat lagu2 mereka, dis is the time to become one!
