Do......Ray..........Egon............

 *Spoilers ahead* DO NOT READ if you are planning to watch Ghostbusters Afterlife 

Ray.........when someone asks you if you're a God, you say YES!

He definitely did NOT make that same mistake this time around 😉

We decided to take the kids out for a movie after all. People are still out of town on holiday or whatever.......the cinemas are still empty.........it was a good plan.

Yusuf had been wanting to watch Ghostbusters Afterlife since he first saw the trailer to the movie. I saw the trailer but at the time I didn't think much of it. I just thought they had to save the Ghostbusters franchise from the last disastrous women-based cast. To me, the Ghostbusters will and always be Dr. Egon Spengler, Dr. Ray Stantz and Dr. Peter Venkman.

Anywho, I am so glad we went to see the new movie because I was on a roller-coaster ride of emotions from the first sight of the P.K.E. meter to the ghost trap all the way till the end of the movie when we saw the ghost of Dr. Egon Spengler. And at that very moment when I saw a glimpse of the Ecto-1, I was like "NO FREAKING WAY!!!!!!"  and then, somewhere along the movie, the iconic siren sound came on and my heart stopped beating for a brief moment!

When Phoebe made the ONE phone call and she decided to call the "number on the screen" from the Ghostbusters ad from the 80s , I kinda thought it made sense to have Dr. Ray Stantz at the other end picking up the phone because it started with Spengler and Stantz after all. I was screaming and crying at the same time. Then, the scene where backup arrived and more proton pack streams were shot towards Gozer, it was Stantz, Venkman and Zeddemore! 

I must say, McKenna Grace's performance in this movie was top notch! She was like a little girl version of Egon Spengler and it wasn't just because of her hair and glasses. There were other stuff in the movie like the metal helmet with wires which was placed on Louis Tully, the 80s pulse machine. OMGOMGOMG! Janine was the first one to appear in the movie chronology and was again screaming and crying at the same time!

And then, when the movie ended I saw the name Sigourney Weaver and I was like "wait, when??......." and there was a scene where Dana was doing that electric shock psychic test on Venkman.

I was NOT DISAPPOINTED at all by the movie and I highly recommended it to Eeno and my mom. The kids were super psyched throughout the entire movie. It was good. 

Omaticaya of Pandora:The Na'vi

*This is a spoiler for the movie Avatar by Cameron.Please do NOT proceed reading this is you have not watched the movie!*

I really thought the movie was so much better than Disney's Princess and the Frog.Seriously,I have seen loads more of Disney's previous original animated films which were so much better with songs you'd actually wanna sing-a-long to long after the movie is over..........

*sigh*

Anywho.........

I was so overwhelmed by the movie Avatar!Seriously,when I first saw the trailer months and months ago,I didn't think I'd wanna bother watching the movie.I am ever so glad I did!And Azim was right,we should have gone for the 3D .Like seriously,the entire movie was made for a 3D release!The cinematography of course.........

Let's put aside the very base of the movie which is the theme coz like most other movies we've seen eversince the 9/11 incident,this movie was also about the invasion of a foreign country and it's complete with the killing of the a great leader alongside the destruction of innocent people's homes...........

I thought the whole idea of the creature's connection with one another through bio-chemistry was interesting.Like these Omaticaya have some sort of thingy at the end of their braided hair which is used to connect to any creature they wish to get onto as mode of transportation like a usb port or somesort which they call tsaháylu.

*Yes,I know!!!!!A new language!Yey!!!!!*

The creatures in general (on Pandora) were somewhat strange but mostly looks as though they are based on the creatures which are currently present.The colorful and glowy part of them are most probably inspired from the deep sea creatures which glows in the dark depths of the ocean.

Having been a Star Trek (TNG) fan,I think the whole idea of being able to get into a machine which helps transfer yourself into another body (psychologically) was something I never saw coming.Avatar is most commonly understood as a representation of one's self when being in other realms like the internet......or something.It just never occurred to me that the avatar they were talking about regarding the movie was exactly that.

*I know.....talk about ultimate slowness!*

I think the part that totally (almost) made me cry was when the Omaticayas saw their home (the Hometree) burned down to the grounds.They were literally crying the way we'd see war victims cry on TV after an attack on their homes.

*This is when I wanna start talking about how human beings are destructive creatures*

Seriously,what's wrong with living with Mother Nature?

Ok,here's the part where I'm just gonna spill the entire movie plot.........

The entire movie was about homosapiens attacking the Omaticaya over some mineral source which happens to be UNDER their Hometree.SO....the only way they can get their hands on those things which costs zillions is by driving out the natives.Sounds familiar?Uh-uh......from the history of Native Americans to the Afghanistan war.Well,in Disney's Pocahontas as well <---my all time fav movie! ^_^

Bottom line is I am most likely to TRY to get my ass into one of them 3D cinemas to watch this movie AGAIN!Doubt that I'd get in especially this weekend.
