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 ...

Green Green River

Oni wat orud tih ponu tun duh? Tebas! Tebas! Jangan tak tebas!!! You must be wondering why on Earth did we try to manouvre a boat over grassland? Well, the problem is not that the boat is on land, it's actually coz the 'land' is invading the river! The lush greenery that you are seeing now is actually a river! This was I think one of the quirkiest field scenarios I've ever encountered in my career and it took place sometime in mid-2009 (dah lama dah...tapi coz nya interesting, aku post jak), it was actually suppose to be a riverine survey along the Karap River, a tributary of the Bakong & Baram River. Instead of actually surveying anything, all we did was try to get through all the vegetation. And here's the picture taken prior to the one above for to prove it! OMG!!!! What did we just get ourselves into... By the time we saw all those keladi-keladi buntings we already crying out, "Oh s**t!" and we were already regretting the trip was ...

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. ...
