i just came back from watching the biggest movie of the year. it's called... Ketenangan Dunia Dalam Kesengsaraan.
hold your breath!
sweeleen watching malay movie!
you wish.
Ketenangan Dunia Dalam Kesengsaraan apparently translates to Quantum of Solace.
hahaha nuts!
lousy nonsensical title translation aside, i really enjoyed the movie! i used to really dislike daniel craig but i think he is now my favourite james bond. yes yes his face really cannot make it lah and the pouts which he never fails to do still annoy the shit out of me. but there's just something about him that makes him the ideal james bond - his physique, his style, his mannerisms, maybe.
this whole movie was jam-packed with action, and that kept me on the edge of my seat from the beginning till the end. i like the fact that the 007 movies evolve with time, though it seems as though the later films have become more far-fetched in terms of being REAL (hello he fall from dunno how many floors also like nothing wan), but what's the fun in watching a movie if you were to question every single detail, right?
as for bond girl olga whateverhernameis... i hated her in max payne (ultimately slutty & annoying) and HAAAAAAAAATED her at the beginning of quantum. but later on her role sort of grew on me. she's sophisticated and is really beautiful! acting skills so-so only, though... then again we never really expect much from bond girls besides their looks, do we.
nice show nice show, and i say this even after i paid RM20 for it! we weren't crazy enough to join the queue at GSC midvalley so we watched it at The Gardens' Signature GSC Premiere Class instead. super comfy seats, ample leg space, good distance from the screen and no queue: worth my every cent. oh and i was surprised to see many of the twin seats being occupied by fathers and their pre-teen sons, enjoying the movie together over popcorn and a jumbo drink. too cute!
