A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) movie review @ GSC premier screening

May 18, 2010 by thejessicat

 

 

A few days back, a group of friends and I were invited to catch the premier screening of 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' courtesy of Warner Bros. pictures and also thanks Bryan for inviting me! 😀 In all honesty, when I 1st heard that this movie was gonna be released this month, a strange thought crossed my mind.

 

 

"Waaaaaiiittt a minute.

Wasn't this movie a really old movie, which existed during my parents' generation?"

 

 

All because I recognized the namesake itself… and of course, our dear ol' Freddy Krueger the nightmare of everyone's dreams. Only then I realized that it was a remake of that 1984 film. (which casted Johnny Depp too omg! but nevermind that for now :P)

 

Now that's Freddy Krueger. remember him in Freddy vs. Jason too?

 

The effects of this movie was good. Blood dripping and squirting everywhere, necks being slashed open, gashing wounds and such. I liked how Freddy had this old habit of rubbing his scythes together – causing his trademark shrill sound to be heard. 😀

 

 

The plot of 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' remains similar and themes revolving around thoughts and repressed childhood memories, often coming back to haunt those during the unconscious of one's dreamwork. Quite predictable though, if you have already watched the earlier installment. Otherwise, you won't be disappointed!

 

You BETTER not be, for Freddy's coming for you too

 

 

Here's a short summary of the 2010's version of the movie :

 

On Elm Street, Nancy, Dean, Quentin, Kris, Jesse are experiencing terrifying nightmares involving a burned man wearing a glove with razor blades on the fingers. This clawed killer in their dreams is Freddy Krueger himself who inflicted pain and fear them during their childhood. This group of teens, whose parents were responsible for Krueger's death were being murdered one by one in their sleep.

 

 

They discovers that they were having similar dreams, about a guy named 'Freddy' and a pre-school. In order to stay alive, they must stay awake as their dreams would be fatal. Uncovering the secret identity of the dream killer and his connection with the children of Elm Street, Nancy and Quentin girl plots to draw him out into the real world so they can kill him once and for all. 

 

As Kris nods off during her lessons, Freddy tortured her in her sleep

She wakes up screaming

 

Lesson of the year children, never fall asleep in class! ahhahhaha

 

Funny how it reminded me of The Sims computer game. I used to NEVER let them sleep and ohhh poor them just had to fall asleep standing while washing the dishes! LOL don't I sound a wee bit of a saddist to you? 😛 😛 Well, at least I rescued my Sims from Freddy 😛

 

Nancy trying to fight her exhaustion but when she lapses into sleep, Freddy harms her

 

Apparently, Nancy is Freddy's "number one" girl. That perverse burnt victim even kept pictures of here, which I personally assumed to be indecent – because it was never revealed in the movie of WHAT kind of pictures those were.

But her expression upon flipping through the pictures were traumatic enough to warrant me that assumption. 'Nuff said.

 

That's her bleeding and all wrapped up in plastic beckoning for Nancy in the latter's dreams

This is when you shouldn't believe your best friend exists 😀

 

Kinda tragic isn't it? When you just need to rest those eyes and fall asleep but you know when you do, you will never wake up again. But I never understood why Krueger can never seem to be killed permanently. After all, their parents did burn him to death.. and Nancy successfully slaughtered him again.

But he's still alive!

 

 

My thoughts keep telling me that there might be a possible sequel

and that this time, Krueger will be after the parents instead hahahaha 😀

 

Freddy could be anywhere *gasp*

After all, he works in your mind and is a paedo 😛

 

In my opinion, this movie is made up a group of innocent peeps getting all petrified over a nightmare-pedophile-cum-Sandman-gone-wrong. Plus, the building of the plot totally reminded me of Final Destination series too, where all the teens gets killed one after another.

 

No, not us please. Them. 😛

 

 I still found it worth a watch nonetheless 😀 Be less critical and you'll enjoy the movie

 

So go watch it fellas 😀 We had fun, I'm sure you will too

It has just released in cinemas!

PEOPLE GOING CRAZY DURING 2012 | GSC CINEMA, ONE UTAMA!

November 19, 2009 by thejessicat

Yippeee! I had the opportunity to catch the movie 2012 in theaters within the 1st week of release despite the fact that my friends told me that the all tickets were sold out in all major cinemas. Anyway thanks to you-know-who-you-are! 🙂

But just before the movie began, came various movie trailers and cineadvertisements. The moment Everyone Connects TM song sang by Bunkface which I blogged about [here] started playing, I had a shock of my life.

huh
What on earth was everyone doing!!??
@_@

The song was really catchy and well, at one point played innumerable times on hitz.fm so obviously everyone knew the words to it. But still, why was everyone getting into a frenzy, stood up waving their arms while singing along to it?


Look, it was 2012 after all.

Another tragic movie. Think worlds coming to an end, pandemonium, losing loved ones, total annihilation, bloodshed, catastrophe and tears. Rather depressing, is it not? But hey, everyone else was at the extreme opposite of that emotional situation.

Get what I mean?

Not wanting to be left out, I sang along too all because I know the lyrics as well. But I wasn’t eccentric enough to stand on my chair, hysterically waving and yelling at the top of my voice and whatnot though. 🙂 Didn’t dare to!
DSC_0199 (Medium)
But I guess, everything’s possible with connections
They all perhaps knew each other, I reckon

Parts of me suspect that it was a flash mob yet why am I flabbergasted at this sudden behaviour? Hmmm.. whatever it is, it certainly raised my eyebrows and everyone else. So surprising, like ohmygoodness! Quite cool, right?


thanks for the piccies jaclyn!

The Ugly Truth and panties!

September 16, 2009 by thejessicat

I was already anticipating the movie The Ugly Truth when I found out about it. C’mon, it’s Gerard Butler! Who can resist that swashbuckling Spartan and the romantic ‘P.S I Love You’ main star?

I find men with Irish accents pretty charming LOL

sue
Premier tickets!

And now, he stars as this obnoxious man with an ego the size of the Nile River. I find his jokes pretty eccentric and spontaneous. God bless the scriptwriter!

Imagine a sentence spilling with sarcasm, puns and explicit jokes. WARNING : If you’re an extreme prude, you will flinch at his every word. If you’re as open minded as a cracked walnut then this is the show for you

ticket
LOVED LOVED LOVED The Ugly Truth so friggin’ much till I watched it twice at two premier screenings. One was with courtesy of Adverlets and the other was from SONY Pictures.

booth
My watermark wasn’t part of the signage mind you

Strangely enough, I did not bring my camera with me for the very 1st time. So this will be a different post! Oh well, imma just grab all the pichas from everyone and put them here.

shazjjjj

OMG this woman has a boyfriend!
but why is she getting jiggy with this fella?


David’s expression exclaims it all

davdiese
*gasp*

Oh well, like the movie title depicts… the truth IS UGLY after all. There’s no saying nothing will get jiggy between your spouse and anyone else even if you’re already hitched. Nothing’s certain in this bleak world of uncertainty.

domo
a Domokun might fall off your cap anytime
= UNCERTAINTY

You might be happily married for 10 years with more children than the Vonn Trap family and still end up divorced. Ouch, that would hurt. Likewise, you might be with your childhood sweetheart for what might seem forever and end up parting your seperate ways
anyway, which hurts a lot too.

Oh hell yeahh it does.

me
And for that,
I’ll give the truth The FINGER if I had to

GO WATCH THE UGLY TRUTH!

YOU WILL JIZZ IN YOUR PANTS WITH
THE VIBRATING PANTIES!

Final Destination 4 premier screening

September 3, 2009 by thejessicat

Whee quick update!

There’ll be a massive post tonight – a heads up on where yall should be going this weekend, which can bring you to places around the world.
So be back here tonight yea?

Image00001
pic creds to Jackie

Anyhoos, I went for the premier screening of Final Destination 4 last night with the rest of the bloggers. Icky as usual, but nothing new to the plot. Here’s a few of the scenes and my two cents which imma share with ya


The beginning of the movie
A CRASH. As usual


People dying tragically.
Certain death scenes were so CGI I tell ya


Okay, this was slightly more convincing

I’ve watched all the previous installations of Final Destination. My favorite was the 2nd & 3rd. But the latest one, Final Destination 4, was an utter dissapointment. Nothing new, no twist and totally predictable.

But if the saddistic alter-ego in you is game for watching revolting scenes of more and more people dying or laughing at bloody instestines and gut spilling outta crushed bodies, then this is the movie for you.


Haw haw haw.
Ghosts doesn’t come out from tellies anymore
Scrap metal does


This is my fave scene. I was anxiously waiting for
something to happen to her at the car wash


hahahahha
Yes I’m a saddist like that


A racist on flames being dragged to death
He called the African-American man,’Chocolate’


The End

My only piece of advice is – if you’re still having that incessant urge to diedie-imma-crap-in-my-pants-if-i-don’t-watch-it, then get a DVD or download it. Totally not worth watching in the cinema and the movie was only slightly more than an hour.

The only wheee part of the day was – I had Durian Ice-Cream! Not exactly ice-cream, as there weren’t any ice nor cream. Just a mushy mix of durian and milk. Sounds gross but screw you we all loved it.

Thanks for the durians, Zoe!

There’s somethin wrong with The Orphan Esther

August 20, 2009 by thejessicat

Whooompalooompah! I’ve recently checked out 2 movies at the premier screening of the odd alien movie District 9 and the focktastically distrurbing thriller Orphan. Just for your info, District 9 is a movie banned in Malaysia – or so I’ve heard.

esther
Cathy & I camwhoring with Esther
BUT NONE OF US COULD STAND HER

Let’s begin with Orphan. I think it opened doors to the public today? I initially thought it was some kind of child abuse/family-oriented show just by looking at the posters. But I came out from the theaters traumatized and mentally disturbed instead. HAHA

groupshot3
Myself with the rest of the early birds at the movie premier

The beginning of Orphan was as gruesome as any exposition could get. Think aborted fetuses covered in blood shoved to the middle of the screen. Throw in lots of anguish screaming and wailing. Ugh.

Plot then continues with the parents, Kate & John, bringing back 9 year old Esther from the orphanage house. She was superficially pleasant, well-mannered and always in her best behaviour.

That’s Esther ‘checking in’ to her new room. I liked how their son Daniel called Esther a freak. Heck yeah, she is. The lil girl Maxine is mute and partially deaf but equally adorable all the same.

There was a very hair-raising twist in the story. No one expected it, though I had a slight uncanny feeling when I saw all the men’s photographs kept in her diary. Did I get you thinking that she is a maneater? Hmm.. oh and, she ain’t really 9 years old you know. Go figure.


She paints beautfully, no doubt

But place all her artwork under a UV light and it will make your eyes widen and probably mentally disturb the weak hearted. Makes you think twice about what they actually teach in Art classes now.


Oh hey that’s me!


Those white roses are named Jessica
Remember the dead foetus I told you about?
Yeah, Jessica’s ashes were sprinkled in those roses.
And Esther the bloody orphan killed me, again. Aren’t I supposed to be already dead? You should see how she killed me. It made mommy go hysterical and other series of gory accidents made her ballistic.

My fave line in the show was:

“You’ve got it all wrong ma’am! Saarne Institute is not a child orphanage”

*long pause*

“It is a… Mental Hospital”


I CAN’T STAND HER!

Esther insists that there was a
bsolutely nothing wrong with her. Check out the video of an exclusive interview with this bright child star, Isabelle Fuhrman

Let it load while you check out the rest of this entry

One of the parts which I went “Ohhhhhhhhh fockkkkkkkkkkkk” and literally squirm in my seat was right after this scene –

I ain’t telling you what happened to the nun

But you can more or less guess
after seeing the picture above
Oh and, here’s note from me. This movie ain’t to be shown to minors as it has excessively violent scenes, pornographic images and vulgarity.


Threatening poor Maxine

I mean come onnn. How wrong can this movie get? It involved little innocent kids for chrissakes. Dropping the F-bombs everywhere and just the mere sight of seeing murderous children with revolvers, hammers, plugging off life supplies in hospitals, kerosene & a match is just so dreadful.


But that’s the fun part ain’t it?
I think Chucky could use a new owner.
Oh and guess who was my guest for this movie screening?

mom
I brought mom along!

Hey if Pixie Lott can travel all around the world for her tours with her mom, I don’t see why I can’t bring mom to watch the movie with us. After all, she was down in KL for 2 days on a business trip.

I didn’t crop out Howard on purpose.
You should see his expression in the background!

Mom, Zues & I

Now we’re done with Orphan, are you ready for District 9?

I know I owe buddyVincent a District 9 review instead of going on & on about a certain romeo who saved me from a flat tire. But that’s another story yea? *winks*

Prior to the movie, I thought it was some lame robotic science-fiction show that didn’t even make it on big screen. LOL but I was wrong! It was that good and graphic till it was banned in Malaysia for reasons beyond me.

I reckon it was because it had some similarities to the racist Apartheid govermental declarations, the District 6, which discriminates the blacks in South Africa


I LOLed when he was called Christopher Johnson
didn’t expect a creature like that to even have a name
…let alone a name like that.

Basically, the MNU officers had no other better things to do than to enter the District 9 and disturb the peace of the aliens where technically bears the sign NO HUMANS ALLOWED. Poor them had to be evacuated to District 10 which is further away from their current location.

Funny how they try to have proper conversations with aliens that look like aluminium tin cans taking form of a prawn or any other crustaceans that you can think of. Or maybe a lower grade version of Decepticons.

It serves the main character right as he was nosy enough to rumage the aliens’ property, thus accidentally spraying himself with an icky fluid known as ‘The Black Liquid’.


which gradually turned him into one of them
a metal prawn

The ending was especially touching though – where he was handmaking a flower outta scrap material to miraculously deliver to his wife. She’s a mortal, mind you. It was kinda saddening, as she lost her husband to the metalprawns forever.

Well not forever though, Christopher Johnson the very well-mannered metalprawn promised to return & save in in 3 years time. Heh. What a promise! Would there be a sequel to this movie?

Group Shots!
-No prawns allowed in this district-

Will be heading for a special preview of the science-fiction thriller Avatar tomorrow morning. It’s release date will be in December 2009, and from the directors of Titanic – so it better be good!
