Its been awhile since I have not review a movie, used to do a lot of it back then. Berangan macam student MassComm. Anyway, after done with the last test of the semester during the evening, I decided to pamper myself with a leisure time. In my definition, that can only mean three things: sleep, movie and online (jogging is included, whenever haze is not around). 

So I decided to watch The Purge which I downloaded about two days ago. Just a quick share, The Purge was released about three weeks ago in USA and became the #1 for the weekend. With only $3million budget, the movie already gained profit on it opening week with a debut of $30million (that fact alone, lead to download the movie without hesitate). The movie will only be release in Malaysia toward the end of August. So yeah, I got the early screening. 


Before watching the entire film, I decided to watch the trailer first to get an insight of the movie first, then I read the reviews but no to the spoiler, won't read it. That's my method in watching a movie. 

The trailer.

Here is my thought on the movie. It didn't really scare me to death (didn't get my special #scream award), but it was definitely one of the movie where you giving so much support and enthusiasm towards the character. The last movies that bring the same emotion to me were Orphan (2009) and Obsessed (2009). 

Orphan and Obsessed.

I thought the center of the character of this movie is Ethan Hawke but Lena Headey is actually the scene stealer. Max Burkholder's character was a big dumb in this movie, but that's not the only reason why he is not my favorite, the fact that he can't act, making it even worst. The idea for this movie is quite authentic but fail at the execution of the plot with the ridiculous story. [Spoiler] - The last scene where Lena's character knocked the hell out of her neighbor's head on the table was one of the memorable and winning moment in the movie.

When all said and done, this is not a bad movie to begin with. If there is a sequel to this (there's a plan for it),  I think it will be wonderful since I can see the movie's plot develop to another side of the other family during the annual Purge's hours. 

6/10

p/s: Not a waste of time, at all.

First drama of 2018

So, the drama for 2018 has already begun. Wow. I'm that bitch. Anyway, here's the back story. I worked for this small company for about a year and 3 months. All those times, i was never confirmed as an employee. meaning i'm still under the probation period. and they make it clear for me that i'm not confirmed, with every week, they'll told me that they can't confirmed if I don't buy a car. I can't afford a car w my salary as the car seller told me, if I want an Axia, I need at least $1500 salary and mine is like 300 below that. I always told them, I will buy it when my sister is ready too, as she will be the first name owner of the car. And my sister told me, she only can do so this year. So, I told my company that I will buy a car this year. Maybe in January. Who knows. Because of the intense pressure from them and I got a job offer, I quit my job after the new year with 24 hours notice. And the drama ensued. My company told me that I can't qui...

Today, I'm going to tell you guys, about my mom which many of my friends do not know. Every time when someone talking about cleaners, i get very sensitive most of the time. My mom, Tida Bo, work as cleaner before i could even reading to support our family. She working in many places before settling down in Shell's Main Office at Miri (not the pumped station, ok?) Here the picture : She work like there was no tomorrow and really hard. Even though, some of her higher education colleagues always look down on her, she never gave up because she know, she still have us to support of. I know, if me and my siblings are already got stable job, never ever she would stay there. Her spirits is always beyond any of us. That's one of the million reasons why she inspired me the most. Although she did not attend school and didn't even know how to read, we can see that if she had the chance, she would be more genius than the rest of us. Maybe in another life, mom. Love you. So, every ...
