I watched The Polar Express for the first time today. I remembered when I was working at Video Ezy, a lot of people asked me when was the dvd coming out. At that time the movie was the only movie that did come out on dvd, because it was not a major success in the box office. Today it was on HBO and I totally love the movie. I mean Santa is not real, he's just a myth, but his legacy still lives. The movie is about this boy who dont believe in Santa, just like how modern day parents would want their child to believe. Then a train stopped right infront of his house, and brought him to the North Pole. Of course he experienced a lot of adventures, met some new friends and got into some trouble. But the best part was, he got to witness the process of Santa's gift giving flight.
I know I sound like a kid saying this, but the movie was magical. The animation was beautiful. In the last scene, the boy (his name was Hero Boy btw) received a present and when he opened it, there was a silver bell and a message from Santa. The boy and his sister, Sarah, could hear the bell ringing, but his parents could not. And as the movie ends, the narrator said...
At one time most of my friends could hear the bell, but as years passed, it fell silent for all of them. Even Sarah found one Christmas that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I've grown old, the bell still rings for me, as it does for all who truly believe.
I loooove fantasy movies. Malay film should have more fantasy kinda stuff, like Big Fish or even Darkness Fall, since most of us are polluted with scary stories. If I was rich I would make the scariest malay horror movie ever. Kau tengok aje Jah!
Watched Wild Hogs today, and it was ok ok lah. Probably the movie is going to be a box office hit and money maker only. But there was Marisa Tomei, and she is oh so hot! Something about her face, just turns me on. Tak boleh tasyan!
Right? Right? Hehehe! :D
