We were walking around after buying tickets for the movie 10,000 BC (which was good but more on that later) when I spotted this shop selling the very adorable CJ7. They sold it in a few sizes - handphone hangers, keychains, flat rounded zipper wallets but he bought me the biggest one (about RM20) they have to hang in the car, the one with a suction cup

Cuteness!

p/s: did you know that the small kid is actually a gal in real life? The actress’ name is Kitty Zhang YuQi nine year old Xu Jiao. (EDIT: Opps..put the wrong name. Kitty Zhang is actually the cute teacher in that tight cheongsam, the girl who played the kid is Xu Jiao)

Synopsis : Five young New Yorkers throw their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper descends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera, the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their lives.

There was a lot of hype about this movie before it came out. Loads of teaser trailers, little snippets of information about the monster who attacked NYC. I went to watch this movie two days ago at Cineleisure (where else) and - like many other movies with loads of hype (i.e: The Golden Compass) it was kind of a dissapointment.

The movie was shot freestyle ala-Blair Witch Project. I think its actually harder to shoot a movie like that rather than the traditional cameras on the set style. The good part about it is that it really makes you feel like you are in the movie itself. The bad part is the shaky camera, unclear sounds and generally messy atmosphere. As a result, its like you miss little parts of the movie.

The story line was actually very slow in the beginning. A bit too much emphasis on the party they planned for Rob and introducing the characters so it was rather boring. I thought the interesting part only started somewhr in the middle of the movie where the attacks started (and when the statue of liberty lost her head - literally).

The reason what I said it was a dissapointment was because the ending sucked. After the movie, the whole cinema was speechless. Not out of awe, but like “huh? that’s it?”. There was no proper explanation about the monster, what happened next and all that.

Rating : Two stars
