Nasi Lemak 2.0 (2011)
From a youtuber to a big screen director
Long before the movie has its opening in theater I watched the trailer of this movie from youtube, which was uploaded by the director Namewee, or more familiar by the local Chinese community with his real name Wong Meng Chee.
Right after the video time slider reached its end, I started to doubt: "Wow, is this really going to be a good movie?!" Though the trailer itself could tell the major plot of this movie, the scenes selected just lack of attractiveness. This bring up so much of worries.
Well, my worry was not from the perspective of a fans, but a loyal viewer of the videos created by him. Having seen through so much of his videos, I definitely love the ways he conveys the messages, though most of it were filled with some f-word, but come on, this is what we called "the way of youth"
With this doubtful feeling, I walked into the theater and waits for the movie playing. After the opening credits was shown, I started to get some relieve. As the movie playing along, there were quite some moments that let me have a good laugh. Some scenes were just too cute that you can't help loving it, seriously! Just like the comment from 4 Malay wives on HuangDaXia: "So cute~~~"
What I admired the most from this movie? Well, it definitely goes to the insert song of this movie - "Curry Neh" I totally have no idea how Namewee wrote the lyric that sounds so similar to the Tamil language. The effect of this song is indefinable. All these just show a fact that a trailer is not really reliable, like the trailer of a horror film that bring your hope high but eventually turned out to be a awfully scripted film.
From a youtuber to a big screen director, I think even Namewee himself would think how intriguing it is by looking back all the way he'd gone through.
All the best in your film career, Namewee! and... By the way, I watched this film in theater twice and planned to add this title to my DVD collection, WALAO EH!
Ju-on: Shiroi rôjo (2009)
What is the point of gory scene?
All I can tell about this movie is poorly done. I didn't even get a little tense during the plays of this movie.
The director seems like preferred to do bloody scene rather than the horror scene. I can tell you that his taste is definitely doesn't fit with the Ju-oN franchise. Also, what the heck with the old lady holding a basketball? Her appearance was just a gags. The only original ghost that appeared in this movie was Toshio, for a little 5 sec. Where is Kayako? Where is Takeo?
No crawling, no scary croaking. A big disappointment for a super Ju-oN fans.
