So Far..My Vote for The Best Movie of 2010 Is...

Oni wat sirita tih skia steady bih?

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World



Now there were actually loads of great movies released by the US last year, like The Social Network, Black Swan, Inception (this one was awesome too!), The Fighter, The King's Speech, 127 Hours, True Grit and lots more. These movies, for me - are movies with some of the strongest writing and acting and yes, most of them were Oscar nominees. I have a tendency to buy DVDs in bulks of 3 to 4 movies and then watch all of 'em straight over the weekend. Hahahaha. I know that there are summer blockbuster hits, but to me they aren't movies that are memorable, but most of them are simply visual eye candy (they're still worth watching but, like trends - they usually go as fast as they come). 

To me, I have to admit that I might be bias coz I am at times I can be an indie-movie freak...but to tell you the truth, some of the most memorable movies I have watched are those non-big budget summer blockbuster movies that have unique cinematography and somewhat unforgetable dialogues. Those in the genres of Pulp Fiction, Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs and  The Usual Suspects are some that I regard as legendary stuff. Notice that the directors are either Guy Ritchie or Quentin Tarantino. But for 2010, my vote for best movie has got to go to Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

The storyline is simple..but the cinematography, soundtrack, action and script is ridiculously awesome! It falls in the same movie category of Kick Ass but with a lot more substance and adrenaline. The jokes and puns are all magnificently written and you definetely get a kick out watching it. So have if you have not seen this movie, buy or steal - get it and watch it and be impressed!

Here's a little clip from the movie, and like I said before, the movie's soundtrack is awesome:

Suria Perkasa Hitam a.k.a. Kesatria Baja Hitam a.k.a. Kamen Rider Black

Oni wat sirita tih doik obuok tayang? Many many years ago, when I was still a phlemy kid (budak ingusan la...) there was this one television show that somehow brainwashed the minds of almost every boy in my primary school. I'm gonna need the help of my fellow friends and readers to help me re-trace the steps of this television show, coz to be honest, the storyline was the last thing on my mind when I watched it. Tapi dalam aku cuba mengelak untuk ambil tauk pasal storyline cerita tok...masih juak aku dapat ingat dengan samar-samar apa sedang dilalui hero ya. Cerita nok aku maksudkan adalah....jeng jeng jeng! Nangga video tok dulok...jelmakan semula zaman gembira kanak-kanak anda! Henshin!!! Suria...Perkasa...Hitam!!!!!! Persoalan Minda: Aku heran dengan nama hero tok versi Indon ya - Kesatria Baja Hitam. Apa sebenarnya maksud 'baja' ya? Macam ne nama Kamen Rider Black, boleh ter'translate' kepada Kesatria  Baja Hitam? 'Kesatria' dan 'hitam' ya

Bidayuh Music?!!

Oni wat ya nai muzik Bidoyoh?  Traditional Bidayuh Instruments  One day, I saw a discussion on Facebook between some friends that was about Bidayuh MUSIC. I couldn't remember as to whether the discussion was about holding a competition for Bidayuh music or organizing some sort of Bidayuh music festival. Not so sure which one was it. But let me just ask this question; what exactly do you mean by Bidayuh 'music'?. For all I know, Bidayuh music that I have been exposed since I was a kid was those that involve an entire ensemble of gongs (tawak, kita'ak, pidabat and etc...). So when I read this discussion, it was odd for me to think that we would try to ask our modern songwriters to write new music from this type of ensemble. I was once told by village elders that to each kampung, their musical arrangement for this ensemble is different. So the beats played by the group from Grogo, will definitely differ from those who hail from Singgai, Pedawan or Serian.

Space Cop Gaban a.k.a. Space Ranger Gaban a.k.a Space Sheriff Gavan

Oni wat sirita tih ponai brainwash onak opot bih? Space Cop Gaban!! As it seems futile to avoid talking about the invasion of Japanese henshin (transform) hero series that invaded my innocent childhood, it should be more than proper for me to introduce to all of you the pioneer of all japanese henshin heroes. Of course, Suria Perkasa Hitam was one of a kind...yeah, he didn't have any fancy looking giant robot and has never fought any monster that taller than 10 feet. Jadi hero Jipon nok bakal aku persembahkan tok adalah.... ...Space Cop Gaban!!! Mesti bahagia Lawai baca blog aku tok kelak. Oh, and by the way, mun kitak orang nangga video di atas, tolong-tolonglah perhatikan subtitle theme songnya tok dalam Bahasa Malaysia. Hahahaha. Cerita tok aku rasa sapa lahir selepas 1982 sik kan ingat langsung la rasa-rasanya sebab aku rasa aku nangga tok sebelum aku sekolah rendah gik. Atau time aku darjah 1 kot..sik ingat gilak la...harap-harap ada sapa-sapa tolong ingatkan aku (I
