|MovieReview| Green Zone (2010) - Not a war-movie

WARNINGGG!! This synopsis may contain spoiler.

SYNOPSIS: Following the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller and his men are charged with finding the so-called weapons of mass destruction,whose existence justified American involvement, according to the Pentagon and their man in Baghdad, Poundsgate. Veteran CIA operative Marty tells Miller that there are no weapons,it is a deception to allow the Americans to take over the country and install a puppet leader.

Marty correctly anticipates that,despite Bush's gung-ho assurances, the policy is doomed to failure. Also suspicious of Poundsgate is Wall Street Journal reporter Lawrie Dayne,who lets slip to Miller that Poundsgate told her he had secret talks in Jordan with an important Iraqi,code-named Magellan,who told him about the weapons, though it now seems likely Magellan's true information was to the contrary. 

Miller deduces that Magellan is General Al Rawi, a close supporter of the deposed Saddam Hussain and, accompanied by his interpreter, Freddy, a decent Iraqi who only wants stability for his country, sets out to track down Al Rawi. However, Poundsgate's men are also on Al Rawi's trail,to stop him from talking. After an explosive showdown Miller emails Lawrie to tell her that there never were any weapons,relying on her and other journalists to inform the world of Bush's deception.

Green zone review? Here.

My 50cent: Not bad. A thrill-ride movie as expected from Matt Damon and  Paul Greengrass after The Bourne Ultimatum. But I think The Bourne Ultimatum is better than Green Zone.

My rating: 7/10

|MovieReview| Alice in Wonderland (2010) - boring

Synopsis: Alice, an unpretentious and individual 19-year-old, is betrothed to a dunce of an English nobleman. At her engagement party, she escapes the crowd to consider whether to go through with the marriage and falls down a hole in the garden after spotting an unusual rabbit. 

Arriving in a strange and surreal place called "Underland," she finds herself in a world that resembles the nightmares she had as a child, filled with talking animals, villainous queens and knights, and frumious bandersnatches. Alice realizes that she is there for a reason--to conquer the horrific Jabberwocky and restore the rightful queen to her throne.  

 Alice Kingsley:"Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

 The Mad Hatter: "There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter."

The Red Queen: "Off with their heads!"

 The so fake white queen

my 50cent: boring and boring..so disappointed.
my rating: 6/10

SAY NO TO APRIL FOOL DAY

Let's say NO to the celebration of April Fool Day. April Fool is a great prohibition in Islam. Read details here. Bukan kerana sejarahnya tapi kerana kesannya.

Tulisan ini dipetik dari ulasan seseorang bernama Saifuddin:

Sejarah ialah fakta. Takda mungkin-mungkin. Ramai historian dah kemukakan teori tentang origin april fool ni dan hasilnya tiada satu pun yang mengatakan april fool ni asalnya dari peristiwa umat Islam ditipu.

Tiada seorang pun historian yang bersepakat waktu bila april fool mula disambut. Tapi bagaimana Muslim boleh claim dengan yakinnya april fool dirayakan sewaktu kejatuhan Islam di sepanyol? Kalau begitu, bilakah tarikhnya?
Kalau betul-betul yakin dengan sejarah ini, buatlah kajian secara ilmiah.

note: I used to be some of the stupids who play prank on my friend during April Fool. 
note 2: Bergurau senda dan memperbodohkan org lain itu tidak sama!!
