Bread of Happiness (Shiawase no Pan)

(may contain generic spoiler)

     The story mainly revolve around the Cafe Mani, a bakery restaurant located in the countryside, Lake Toya, Hokkaido. Such a beautiful place and the results to the movie was whimsical cinematography.

Florence + The Machine

mengapa sungguh awesome? 


ini merupakan mv  lagu untuk filem Snow White and The Huntsman, bertajuk, Breath of Life dari Florence + The Machine. 
movie ni merupakan yang aku tunggu2 juga untuk 2012 ni selepas The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers ,Dark Shadows, To Rome With Love, Red Lights dan Hick. 
bukan sebab Kristen Stewart tapi kerana cik Charlize Theron yang sungguh awesome tu. 
tambahan pula abang Thor juga terlibat sebagai abang Huntsman. 
manakala abang Tom Hiddleston aka encik Loki juga akan berlakon sebagai ketua dwarf (ok ini tipu).


dan automatik movie ni jadi lagi super awesome bila dapat Florence + The Machine nyanyi lagu latar belakang. 


jujurnya, dapat rasa ke-epikan movie ini.  

50/50

So the other day I watched 50/50, a 2011 movie starring my Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, Anna Kendrick, Bryce Dallas Howard, Anjelica Huston and many more. 


It is an honest, good light-hearted movie with sprinkling of humor everywhere supplied wonderfully by the main characters, Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and his bff Kyle(Seth Rogen) who is obsessed of getting laid. 
Seth Rogen is very good here, playing Kyle with expressive-aggressive type of friend to Adam but beneath it all, all he wanted to do was to be there for Adam. such relationship between friends is beautiful.


This movie is based on a true story of it's very own writer and I'm such a sucker for true story turns to films. Definitely this movie has been on my radar since I watched the trailers. 


The main theme of the story is how a young man, aged 27 who discovered that he had a rare type of spinal cancer and what follows is how he rebounds and discovers what is the important things in his life that he never pays any attention to before. 
It's poignant at certain times, made you think of what could be and made you think that every little things you do does affect other people. 
Even a simple hi or hello and small little talks with your parents or your loved ones could make a difference. 


Joseph Gordon-Levitt once again effortlessly nailed his character, where he displayed such a range of emotions of Adam. 
When he hurts, you feel it and cry with him. 
When he smiles, you smile back at him(read: at the laptop's screen). 
He earnestly embodies the character of Adam, it's like there is Adam in your world and you wished you know him to help him get through of this together. 
In much simpler words, honesty. Yes, the honesty that he brings to the performance is much deserving of a high praise. 


The rest of the cast also did well and delivered. 
Overall, such a good movie and one to be re watched multiple time, anytime soon. 


A conversation between Adam and Katherine;


Adam: I wished you were my girlfriend.
Katherine: Girlfriends can be nice, you just had a bad one.
Adam: I bet you'd be a good one


Ain't that sweet?  

choki choki

so the other night i got to watched adnan sempit 2. courtesy of my kindhearted room mate(s). with s as my other friend was sleeping over here that night. here means my room.
so here's my review.

oh, while typing this i'm eating my bread with choki choki. a tube of choki choki could be eaten with 2 slices of bread the size of usual bread with any brand like Gardenia, hi-five, mighty white or roti from any bakery like Cintaku bakery, Perling bakery, Muhibbah Cake n House, Rotiboy, Bread Story and etc.
i have a  penchant for good and delicious breads. i think this comes from my mother. she loves anything from bakery. how i wish i have Bread Story and Auntie Anne's shop beside my home. how i wish. how i ..


wait a minute, isn't this post supposedly about my thought after watching adnan sempit 2.
well. above is what running across my mind while my friends were laughing their heads off.
i couldn't comprehend at all.
i wonder did my mind suddenly become 'sempit'.

why in the world would talented people like Shaheizy Sam would act in something like that? i thought his turn in Songlap was the beginning of something worthy for his acting career. what a waste.

but I guess the answer also lies on local movie-goers . see the figures of KL Gangster. surely 12 million grossing is a lot. and with coming KL Gangster 2, let's see.
one thing's for sure, i'm not the one contributing to the 12 million.
i'd rather buy a box of choki choki. and watch the video of my nephew swimming in a bathtub.
