Discovering Life's Insights, One Thought at a Time.

Jangan Pandang Langsung…

Posted on 11/04/2007 By Reedz
Pics are from yesterday’s ceremony to announce the 5 candidates for the Princess Rashidah Young Nature Scientist Award 10 (PRYNSA 10) which took place at MIPR.




Took da missus to watch the much hyped Jangan Pandang Belakang last night… yawn… the highlight of the night was the siew mai we snacked on before the movie.

The movie somehow reminded me of old Indonesian horror flicks (like sundel bolong) where you have some bloke reading some verses from the holy book with heaps of echo added in for good measure. The plot was wafer thin, and the acting left a lot to be desired especially the female co-star who played Seri.

Perhaps I should have walked into the movie with different expectations but the fact that this film was rated “the scariest malaysian horror movie so far” did set a pretty high benchmark to start with.

The crowd that we had the honor of watching the movie with made me feel like we forgot to bring costumes and umbrellas for the rocky horror show. There was THAT much participation! Annoying yet fun at the same time.

Overall, I think the M’sian film-makers will fare better with love-stories and comedies instead of horror flicks. For those who are planning to watch it, wait for the VCD… unless of course you’re seriously into that participatory audience thing which the mall cinema is famous for 🙂

    yup the storyline was pretty straight forward and predictable. But Rosminah Sidek’s (Opah) acting was a thumbs-up.

    About the PRYNSA thingy, may I make some corrections? It is actually PRYNSA 10 not PRYNSA 9 and actually there were 5 finalists not 10…. Maktab Sains, my school (I was one of the teachers receving the fake cheque yesterday). I can understand the confusion… coz I was also confused with the banner. It says ……PRYNSA 10 finalists. I thought there will be 10 finalists announced… he he. BTW, u happended to have MS’s pic?
