Man of Steel

 

What's the 'S' stand for?
 It's not an 'S'. On my world it means 'hope' Well, here it's... an 'S'

Memula dulu ingat lagi masa kecik, saya layan Superman (dilakonkan oleh mendiang Christopher Reeve) yang pakai spender merah dekat luar tu. bila dah meningkat remaja, saya tak pernah miss tengok Smallville (masa ni Clark Ken kemain hensem). dan sekarang dah lama menanti2 movie ni keluar panggung. bila confirm je keluar terus nak tengok tapi biasalah penuh memanjang. Sabtu malam yang lepas, saya tak boleh tunggu lagi...lambat pun lambat la janji tengok, terus sanggup menunggu midnite show dengan harapan mata tak mengantuk. alhamdulillah tak sempat mengantuk pun, setiap aksi tu bagai tak boleh miss la.

As usual, movie yang diadaptasi dari komic adalah pilihan utama saya dan my laki, especially dia yang memang dah baca komic ni dari kecik lagi. seyes, jalan movie ini pun adalah similar dengan yang dalam komic jugak. mobile suite Superman kali ni memang cunnnnnnnnn habis, takdelah trademark spender merah dekat luar lagi ye hiksss. 

Part yang paling best masa Kal-El berlawan dengan General Zod, habis jahanam bandar tu sekelip mata je + pulak dengan tarikan graviti yang memusnakkan segala benda yang berada berdekatan dengan teras bumi yang cuba di tarik oleh spaceship General Zod.

Pada yang memang menantikan movie ni, pegilah tengok...memang sangat berbaloi dan super best. effect dari terbang dan langgar bangunan tu memang ohsem cuma Superman tu terbang laju sangat...penat mata nak menangkap dekat mana Superman tu berada masa bergaduh dengan General Zod tu. dah namanya super hero + movie ongputih memang takdenya logik...kalau nak tengok citer yang logik, baik jangan tengok movie ni. citer melayu pun banyak tak logiknya weh.

Ada jugak yang mengendong anak kecik mengheret anak sekolah yang tak berapa nak menengah tu...alahaiiii. dah sah2lah zaman diorang ni manelah femes citer Superman. zaman kini super hero diorang tentulah Boboi Boy. jangan assume lah budak tu nak tengok citer macam ni. masa cerita habis, makpak tak pepasal menggendong anak besar kecik sebab memasing tido je sepanjang movie ni ditayangkan (midnitelah katanya). 

Pada saya, movie ini cukup epic. tak banyak flashback Clark Ken masa kecik coz kita sering tengok sequalnya dalam Smallville or Superman versi spender merah dekat luar. dan movie ni memang tak logik dek akal fikiran, dah katanya dari komic...tak kisahlah kartun or movie guna orang biasa ke, tetap macam kartun jugak. so jangan aspect sesuatu yang logik dek akal fikiran ye dan jangan kata movie ni macam kartun sangat, dah memang asalnya kartun kot. meh baca sinopsis ni, saya tak kuasa nak bagi suspent korang. kalau menarik pegi tonton, kalau tak menarik...tunggu je sampai keluar dalam HBO nanti.

The planet Krypton faces imminent destruction due to an unstable core, and its ruling council is under the threat of rebel General Zod and his followers. Scientist Jor-El and his wife Lara secretly imprint a genetic codex into the cells of their newborn son Kal-El, and launch him on a spacecraft to Earth to preserve the Kryptonian race. After Zod murders Jor-El, he and his followers are banished to the Phantom Zone, but manage to escape when Krypton explodes. The infant Kal-El lands on Earth in Smallville, Kansas, where he is discovered by couple Jonathan and Martha Kent, who name him Clark and raise him as their adopted son.
 
Clark's Kryptonian physiology affords him superhuman abilities on Earth. Young Clark gradually learns to hone the abilities that initially cause him confusion and discomfort. Jonathan reveals to a teenage Clark that he is an alien, and advises him to not utilize his powers publicly, fearing that society would reject him. After Jonathan's death, an adult Clark spends the next several years living a nomadic lifestyle, working different jobs under false names to cover his tracks and hide his identity. He eventually discovers a Kryptonian scout ship with technology that allows him to communicate with the consciousness of Jor-El in the form of a hologram. Lois Lane, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist from the Daily Planet, also discovers the ship while pursuing a story, and is rescued by Clark when she is injured. Lois's editor Perry White rejects her story of a "superhuman" rescuer, so she traces Clark back to Smallville with the intention of writing an exposé. After hearing his story, she decides not to reveal his secret.
 
Detecting the scout ship, Zod travels to Earth where he demands that Kal-El surrender to him, or humanity will suffer the consequences. Clark agrees to surrender to the U.S. military, who hand Lois and Clark over to Zod's second-in-command, Faora. Zod reveals that he intends to use a terraforming "world engine" to transform Earth into a Krypton-like planet, to eradicate the human population, and to use the codex to repopulate the planet with genetically-engineered Kryptonians. After Clark and Lois escape the ship, Clark defeats Faora and another of Zod's henchmen in Smallville, convincing the military that he is on their side. Zod deploys the world engine and initiates the terraforming in Metropolis and over the Indian Ocean.

Clark, now dubbed "Superman", stops the world engine in the Indian Ocean. The military uses the spacecraft that brought Superman to Earth in an aerial strike to create a portal that returns Zod's ship and his crew to the Phantom Zone. Only Zod remains, and he and Superman engage each other. After a battle, Superman is forced to kill Zod to save a group of innocent civilians that Zod attempts to murder. Superman decides to blend into society by wearing eyeglasses, and resuming his identity as Clark Kent. He is hired by White to work as a reporter for the Daily Planet.

Aleya Sofea by Ayu Azura Mohamad

Watak utama yang menjalani kehidupan yang penuh ceria tetapi mengalami sakit yang tidak diketahui puncanya. pengolahan cerita yang agak ringkas dan mudah difahami, sesuai kot untuk golongan remaja membacanya...saya yang tak berapa remaja ni pun suka baca apa (*_*)v persekitaran adalah di university dan adanya unsur2 cinta dan sahabat yang akhirnya memutikkan rasa sayang. 

Apa2 pun meh tengok sinopsis; 


Hadirnya Aleya Sofea di menara gading itu turut mewarnai rencah kehidupan warganya yang bergelar siswa dan siswi. Cinta dan airmata...tawa dan hiba...benci dan rindu...kesemuanya datang silih berganti menyulami diri.  Episod hidup yang begini menjadi kelaziman bagi mereka yang menjadi warga kampus dimana sahaja.  Tika bergelut menimba ilmu segala yang menguji datang menghampiri.  Walaupun ramai yang berjaya mengatasinya namun tidak ramai yang kecundang.

Bagi Aleya Sofea, amanat yang dipikulnya sebagai puteri harapan bangsa sentiasa disemat di sanubari.  Ketabahan dan kekerasan hatinya dibajai dari hari ke hari.  Dari situ dia mula mengenali hati budi insan yang dikenalinya.  Namun ada sesuatu yang menguasai dirinya.  Degil! Kedegilan yang bersarang dijiwanya itu turut menggugat nasib dirinya.  Antara hidup ataupun mati.

Epic

 

“You’re here for a reason. Sometimes the connections aren’t clear, but they’re always there.”
 
Last Saturday, kami menonton lagi. kali ni menonton kartun pulak la, Epic. walaupun kami tergolong dalam golongan yang tak berapa nak budak2 tapi seyes movie ni seronok untuk ditonton sama golongan dewasa apatah lagi kanak2.

Saya suka sangat tengok watak lintah dan siput babi tu, gamat pawagam dengan kerenah mereka yang selamba pandai dan kelakar. saya menonton movie 2D je, takmo tengok 3D...takmo mengidap pening kepala lepas menonton.

Watak Mary yang pada awalnya tidak menyukai sikap ayahnya yang terlalu mempercayai bahawa ada dunia lain selain dunia mereka. apa yang Mary mahukan dari ayahnya adalah kasih sayang dan perhatian penuh agar dia tidak rasa terpinggir oleh ayahnya sendiri. 

Movie ni masih ada lagi di pawagam, kalau berminat pegi tengok dan meh baca dulu sinopsisnya;

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/be/Epic_%282013_film%29_poster.jpg 
Following the death of her mother, Mary Katherine (a.k.a. M.K.) (Amanda Seyfried), a 17 year old teenager, moves in with her estranged and eccentric scientist father, Professor Bomba (Jason Sudeikis), who has been searching for tiny human soldiers, about which M.K. is skeptical. She wants her father to stop his work. Unknown to the both of them, Bomba is right that there are tiny soldiers called Leafmen. They protect the forest Bomba lives near from evil creatures called Boggans, who shoot arrows that can kill any living thing, and their malevolent leader, Mandrake (Christoph Waltz), who plans to destroy the forest. An independent young soldier, Nod (Josh Hutcherson) decides to quit, much to the ire of the no-nonsense Leafmen leader, Ronin (Colin Farrell), who wants Nod to learn about teamwork.
The queen of the forest, Queen Tara (Beyoncé Knowles), who is aware of Ronin's apparent attraction to her, decides to choose an heir to her throne and goes out to a field of leaf pods, guarded by a laid-back slug named Mub (Aziz Ansari) and an uptight snail named Grub (Chris O'Dowd). Tara chooses the smallest pod as the heir; however, immediately after doing so, the Boggans attack. Tara flees the area with the pod, and though her bodyguards do their best to protect her, they are soon overwhelmed by the sheer number of Boggans. Tara uses her magic to slow down her pursuers, and is at one point rescued by a flower child who idolizes her; eventually, Ronin arrives for her, and the pair fly off on Ronin's hummingbird mount. They are then attacked by Mandrake and his son and lead general, Dagda (Blake Anderson); Dagda is killed by Ronin, but Tara is shot by Mandrake, and falls off Ronin's bird into the forest.
Meanwhile, M.K., annoyed at her father, decides to leave and leaves a note on one of his security monitors. Before she can leave, her and Bomba's one-eyed, three-legged dog, Ozzie, runs into the woods. While looking for Ozzie, M.K. sees Tara falling. A dying Tara gives her the pod and uses her magic to shrink her. She tells M.K. to take the pod to a Glowworm named Nim Galuu (Steven Tyler) before she dies. After meeting Ronin and the Leafmen, along with Mub and Grub, a confused and scared M.K. joins them. Ronin discovers that Nod has entered a race against other creatures and bugs on birds. He goes back on a deal with a tough bullfrog named Bufo (Pitbull). Before Bufo and his gypsy moth and scorpionfly goons can kill Nod, Ronin intervenes and orders the goons to leave. A reluctant Nod joins him, M.K., Mub, and Grub after hearing about Tara's death.
They eventually find Nim Galuu, who is a showman and keeper of magic scrolls that tell what has occurred during the times, in a tree. After learning about Tara's death, he leads the group down to the scrolls, where M.K. discovers Tara's brief message before shrinking her, and a message that will get her back to normal size. When Ronin leaves, Nod takes M.K. on a enthralling deer ride, where they fall in love. Mandrake (to whom Bufo fearfully reveals the location of the pod, which he overheard from Ronin and Nod) arrives and kidnaps Mub and Grub and imprisons them, along with the pod, which he hopes to bloom in darkness to destroy the forest. To get into Boggan territory undiscovered, M.K., Nod, and Ronin set out to Bomba's house to get some disguises, where M.K. learns that her father is what the Leafmen call a "stomper" and have been leading Bomba off their trail. After getting the disguises, Ozzie (who earlier returns to Bomba's house) sees M.K. and chases her, catching Bomba's attention. He sees the group and catches M.K., but faints after seeing her. Before leaving, M.K. marks where the Leafmen territory is on one of Bomba's maps with a red push-pin.
When they reach the Boggan land, which is a wasteland of dead trees, Ronin distracts the Boggans while M.K. and Nod rescue Mub, Grub, and the pod. They are eventually found out by Mandrake, who summons the Boggans to stop them. M.K., Nod, Mub, and Grub escape alive, but Ronin sacrifices himself to ensure their escape. Before the full moon can sprout the pod at Moonhaven with moonlight, Mandrake's bats block the light, causing the pod to sprout in darkness. When the Leafmen set out to fight the Boggans (with Grub unsuccessfully joining them) M.K. sets out to get her father for assistance, but an exasperated Bomba, after regaining consciousness, decides to give up on what he has been doing to find his daughter and shuts off all his cameras, believing that he didn't really see M.K. and that he's been insane all his years, but changes his mind when he sees the push-pin in his map.
After locating M.K., Bomba is overjoyed to see that he has been right and when he follows M.K. to Moonhaven, he (with his daughter's persuasion) uses his iPod to make bat sounds, causing the bats to follow Bomba. Meanwhile, Mub and Nim Galuu try to stop Mandrake from reaching the pod, but are unsuccessful. Just then, Ronin appears, bearing scars and bruises from Boggans. Mandrake manages to outdo him, but Ronin is defended by Nod, who earlier finally understands the importance of teamwork. Before Mandrake can obtain his victory, the moonlight takes over the pod before it blooms in darkness, causing it to bloom in light and Mandrake gets sucked into a tree. It also heals the forest after much damage from the Boggans.
The chosen heir is the flower child who idolized and saved Tara earlier in the film. Grub becomes a Leafman, Nod and Ronin reconcile, and Nod and M.K. kiss and become a couple before M.K. is given back her original height by the new queen. After reuniting with Bomba and becoming his assistant, the reunited human family still keep regular contact with their new small friends as they continue the research of the world in their home.

Diari Hati by Abd Talib Hassan

"Ku hampiri kasihmu dengan air mata. Ku dakap diri mu dalam lena. Namun mengapa tiba-tiba kau hilang bila ku terjaga?"

Sebuah kisah cinta yang agak berat saya rasa bila membaca novel ini di sertai dengan bahasa yang memang penuh seni berseninya. some perkataan yang saya tak berapa faham maknanya, kenalah selak kamus dewan bahasa dan pustaka hiksss.

Berlatar belakangkan gadis desa yang penuh dengan kasih sayang olah datuk dan neneknya serta bapa dan ibu tirinya. tidak pernah terlintas di hatinya mengenai ibu kandungnya sehinggalah satu kejadian di universitinya, membuatkan tiba2 kisah ibu kandungnya timbul. isu2 agama juga banyak diketengahkan. tidak kurang jugak isu politik, kekeluargaan dan ideology yang menjadikan novel ini sangat menarik untuk dibaca.

Berminat, meh baca sinopsis pulak;  
 
Azizah begitu selesa melalui dunia remajanya. Gadis yang sejak kecilnya dibesarkan oleh datuk dan nenek. Mendapat kasih sayang dari ayah dan ibu tiri yang tidak berbelah bagi. Menjadi perhatian dan harapan teman-teman dan ibu saudara yang ‘simpati’. 

Kehilangan ibu sejak dari kecil lagi, satu kehilangan yang menjadi misteri, disembunyi dalam aib dan amanah yang digenggam rapi. Dilekakan dengan kasih sayang yang muncah, Azizah bagai selesa sendiri-sendiri. Namun masih tertanya-tanya, ke manakah ibunya menghilangkan diri. Andai telah pergi, mengapa pusaranya tidak pernah dilawati. 

Namun bila Zohar memutuskan pertunangan mereka, terjawablah asal usul yang merobekkan, memalukan keturunan dan merungkaikan seluruh ikatan. Dunia tiba-tiba dirasakan tunggang-langgang, dan Zairie hadir menyelamatkan perasaannya yang berantakan. 

“Tak ada dosa atau salahnya seorang ibu kepada anaknya, melainkan dosa dan salahnya kepada Allah semata-mata. Dan anak tidak berhak untuk memaksa ibu meminta ampun padanya...”

Following their successful Rio heist, Dominic Toretto and his crew of professional criminals have retired around the world: Dominic lives with Elena; his sister Mia lives with Brian O'Conner and their son, Jack; Gisele and Han have moved to Hong Kong; and Roman and Tej live in luxury.

Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) agent Luke Hobbs and his partner Riley investigate the destruction of a Russian military convoy by former British Special Forces soldier Owen Shaw and his crew. Hobbs tracks down Dominic and persuades him to help take down Shaw after showing him a recent photo of Letty Ortiz, Dominic's former girlfriend, whom he thought was dead. Dominic gathers his crew together and they accept the mission in exchange for full amnesty for their past crimes, which will allow them to return home to the United States; Mia and Elena remain with Jack.
 

One of Shaw's henchmen leads the crew to Shaw's hideout, but it is revealed to be a trap intended to distract the crew and police while Shaw's crew performs a heist elsewhere. Shaw flees by car, detonating his hideout behind him and disabling most of the police, leaving Dominic, Brian, Tej, Han, Gisele, Hobbs and Riley to pursue him. Letty arrives to help Shaw, and shoots Dominic without hesitation before escaping. Back at their headquarters, Hobbs tells Dominic's crew that Shaw is stealing components to create a Nightshade device which can disable power in an entire region; he intends to sell it to the highest bidder. Meanwhile, Shaw's investigation into the opposing crew reveals Letty's relationship with Dominic, but she is revealed to be suffering from amnesia.

Dominic's crew investigates a Shaw subordinate who reveals Shaw's connection to Arturo Braga, a drug lord imprisoned by Brian. Brian returns to the United States as a prisoner to gain access to Braga, who discloses how Letty survived the explosion that was thought to have killed her; Shaw attempted to finish her off but after learning of her amnesia, he took her in. Aided by a former ally in the FBI, Brian is released from prison. In London, Dominic challenges Letty in a street racing competition, and afterwards returns her necklace he had kept.

Tej tracks Shaw's next attack to a NATO Spanish military base. His crew assaults a military convoy carrying a computer chip to complete the Nightshade device. Dominic's crew interferes, destroying the convoy while Shaw, accompanied by Letty, commandeers a tank and begins destroying cars along the highway. Brian and Roman manage to flip the tank; Letty is thrown from the tank and Dominic risks his life to save her from falling to her death. Shaw and his men are captured, but he reveals that he has kidnapped Mia. The crew are forced to release Shaw, and Riley (revealed to be working for Shaw) leaves with him; Letty chooses to remain with Dom. Shaw and his crew board a large aircraft while it is in motion on a runway as Dominic's crew gives chase. Dominic, Letty, Brian, and Hobbs board the craft; Brian rescues Mia and they escape using a car onboard. The plane attempts to take off but is held down by excess weight as Han, Gisele, Roman, Tej, Brian, and Mia tether the plane to their vehicles. Gisele sacrifices herself to save Han from one of Shaw's henchemen. Letty kills Riley and both she and Hobbs leap to safety, but Dominic pursues Shaw and the computer chip. Shaw is thrown from the plane as it crashes into the ground; Dom drives one of the remaining cars through the nose of the exploding plane and reunites with his crew, giving the chip to Hobbs to secure their amnesty.

In the aftermath, Dominic and his team return to the United States. Hobbs and Elena (now working with Hobbs) arrive to confirm the crew are free; Elena accepts Dominic has chosen Letty over her. As Dominic's crew gather to share a meal, Dominic asks Letty if the gathering feels familiar; she answers no, but that it feels like home. In a post-credits scene, while Han is racing in Tokyo, he is hit by an oncoming car; the car explodes, killing Han. The other car's driver walks away from the scene and calls Dominic, leaving him a threatening message: "You don't know me, but you're about to..."
