Just Notes: 9GAG's 17 movies of all time

9GAG's 17 movies of all time:




I wonder, why is it Michael Fassbender always has sex scenes in his movies? Fish Tank is of no exception, he gets to have sex with both mother and daughter whilst in fact he's married with a daughter. #awkward

But then, Shame is exquisitely jarring. It makes me feel his pain, oh so acutely. Addiction is worse when you can't escape. and you end up hating yourself for ever more. I don't think I can spend time watching Shame in full, for it really scarred me the first time I watch it. oh MF, you really make me feel things that I don't want to feel...

Just Notes: intermission for Ramadhan

hi.. i've been away for Ramadhan..

till then, enjoy this very nice movie clips :)



btw, just to wish Ramadhan Kareem and happy Eid :)

 

Just Notes: 50,000th viewership and it's thanks to Jeremy Renner :)

wow.. i never knew that you guys like him so much. yar, the viewership has been slowing, trickling, just shy of the 50k mark that it sort of puzzled me a bit. but then, after i posted Hansel and Gretel review, the statics seem to jump start.

you love Jeremy Renner, don't you all? hahaha, i like him too. even though he's probably not coming back as Hawkeye in the Avengers sequel. what a shame but i think he's a good actor and he's moving to greener pastures if he doesn't get to reprise the role.

so.. as a small token of thanks, i'll do a review of the Bourne Legacy next, ok.



see, like i said, he's a dead ringer somewhat to Mr Craig :)

Just Notes # 7 : we are 11,111 !

wah.. very nice number owh!

by the way, i tried watching  21 Jump Street the movie but somehow got bored before we even got to half of the movie. so you just got to wait for a while lah. it's Ramadhan after all :)

Shame: something to ponder

i'm deeply sorry for not updating this blog for a long while. the last film i watched was Shame, in patches though. i relied a lot on wikipedia's review as not to violate my modesty with all the explicit scenes here and there.

but the thing is, the story is rather Equus-like - exploring why people do what they did, in the name of personal fulfillment. one thing i learn about this movie, with such hedonistic overload, at one time, you start to stare at the facts of how bleak your life is and no matter how successful you are at your work, the lust-driven life make things incomplete. you are incomplete.

for a positive note, perhaps instead of following your whims and desires all the time, maybe you should pause and turn to religion as your salvation in order to not be the lust-slave. Shame doesn't preach of these enlightenment, it was of my own, but it is befitting. people wonder about their soul, of what does it do to people. to me, the soul is your conscience talking, influencing you of the path to take, of the decisions to make.

btw, we reach 10,000 mark today, YAY!

let's hope that i have more passion to write and more movies to review. till then, da!

Just Notes # 6 : the Reasons why I don't write

i haven't been actively reviewing movies lately. i guess, it is a sabbatical thingy. i'm too invested in the writing process, particularly when it involves my favourite actors/actresses.

sure, during the last week, i've watched "the bridesmaids", "horrible bosses", "TLOTR: return of the king", "never been kissed" and etc. some of the stories struck a very deep cord inside and i haven't been able to write anything worth reading. besides, "Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham" keeps collecting cobwebs as we speak.

and i kept reneging upon my promise to watch Michael Fassbender's "Shame" (and write a review)... :sigh:

looking at his tortured self pun dah bikin tak sampai hati. how will i endure the full film?

kan?

update:

emm- no way i can watch and review "Shame". if i do, i would be so much aSHAMEd myself. so there. sorry but no can do.

Just Notes # 5 : YAY, we are 5,000-ish !

Alhamdulillah !

Just Notes # 4

ha.. last night i downloaded more movies:

• Coriolanus (a Shakespeare adaptation) - among others, Jessica Chastain, Gerard Butler and Ralph Fiennes
• Man on a Ledge - Sam Worthington and Jamie Bell
• Quantum of Solace - Gemma Atherton and Daniel Craig
• Safe House - Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington
• One for the Money - Katherine Heigl
• Game of Shadows - Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr.

hopefully i can review them soon!

and yes, the viewership for Slow-Pokey is reaching 5,000. here's for the next 5,000 views, hopefully by next month or so? hahaha.. such wistful thinking :)

Just Notes # 3 : i'm busy...

watching Once Upon a Time :guilty with pleasure:

i'm sorry that i've been tardy with my movie reviews but seriously, i'm hooked, lined, and sunk in love with the tv series.

i have in mind to do a review on Shame by Michael Fassbender and  perhaps Sherlock Holmes' Game of Shadows by Robert Downey Jr. not to forget, my Casino Royale review is also left in drafting stage.

i'm just plain tardy- eh wait, i'm just staying true to this blog's nature, Slow-Pokey! So sabo je la ek :sheepish grin:

so cute!!!

Just Notes #2

it's heartwarming to note that SlowPokey is growing with me, day by day. there are a few categories added. and we are over 2,000-ish mark. so, to make it clearer, here are the descriptions for the Label:

Just Notes - anything worth mentioning about Slow-Pokey and me. Previously it was labeled as Musings.

Muvi Pact - movies that i promised to review. Jenuh nak mengabihkannya!

Suggestion - a post inviting viewers to suggest any related movie that they request me to review it

TSM - a post commenting any similar fact noted by me. it could be about actors/actress/storyline.

that's all. keep coming here for more Slow-Pokey-ish movie reviews :)

just notes #1

i've been actively reviewing films this month and posting it on Slow Poke. so it wasn't a surprise to note that viewership for the last month had risen to be a 4-digit number.

that much, huh?

thanks for dropping by and showing your support. perhaps you'd like to drop comments or going the extra mile by being a follower to this blog.

by the way, it's interesting to note that the following pieces hold the top number 3 spots as the post with most views:

1. the Clash of the Titans
2. Zoolander
3. the Adventures of Tintin

hmmm, mash-ups of different genre. and again, i invite your suggestions for any movie that you would like to appear here. i swear, i'll try to do it less slowpoke-ish :)
