Bakpoh Movie Review: The Fighter

Finally found the time to watch The Fighter this weekend. I wasn't really expecting much right from the start because some friends did say that the movie was quite boring. Luckily, they were wrong....this movie is hands down one of the best movies i have seen this year...it is that damn good...This totally deserves the Oscar wins. From the very beginning of the movie, i was gripped and could not stop watching...it is that damn good...

The Plot

The Fighter tells the story if Micky 'Irish' Ward, when he was in his early years being trained by his brother before eventually becoming pro. Micky has to face countless trials and tribulations before finally achieving his dream as a professional boxer. Along the way, Micky comes to terms with what he really wants for himself and emerges from the shadow of his brother's earlier success to make a name for himself.

My Thoughts

Through the life of Micky Ward, The Fighter inspires all of us to succeed even when all odds are against us. After watching the movie, I felt that I was given and intimate look at the life of a boxer. Christian Bale once again shines as the troubled crack addict brother of boxer Micky Ward. He really brings the Dicky character to life and makes the audience both hate and like him at the same time. Mark Wahlberg also does sufficiently well as the main protagonist of the story and the audience will be rooting for him as he struggles with his boxing career and a very very dysfunctional family. All the other supporting casts were great and they really helped to make the movie that much more intense. I especially liked Micky's trainwreck of a mother who pretty much brought most of the havoc into Micky's already struggling career. The well choreographed fights in the movie also helped to make the movie that much more exciting and kept the tempo up. All in all, The Fighter is an awesome movie. Intense, inspirational and also touching. Catch it if you have the chance!

The Pros

Great casts and colorful characters. Wonderfully choreographed fight scenes. Film-making at its very best.

The Cons

I'd say I can't think of one at this point of time. The movie is that damn good!

Bakpoh Rating

A perfect score of 5/5 for such a downright awesome movie. Makes you wish all movies can be this good!

Oh one more thing, don't forget the trailer.....

What is wrong with this world?

Came across this article today....

http://www.dailychilli.com/news/10311-thug-rapes-virgin-in-public

A virgin was raped by a 95kg brute out in the open...in plain sight...and none of the motorists that passed by stopped to help...wad has this world come to? You see someone getting raped and u couldn't even be bothered to stop????? What happened to just simply helping your fellow human being???

The world really is going to hell....if only that one passerby bothered to stop and lend a hand...everything would have turned out different...the girl would be spared the torment of being violated by a 95kg monster....she would be scarred for life...

Really makes me sad that more and more cases like this happen each day...what has the world come to? No longer will people reach out their helping hand to those in need...

I pray that the rapist gets wad he deserves...and when it's his turn to leave the face of this earth, may his soul rot in hell for eternity!

Bakpoh Movie Review: Rango

Last week I had the chance to catch Rango before going for a friend's wedding and here is the review. Wad is Rango you might ask? Rango is the latest animated flick to hit the silverscreen and it stars non other than the very very talented Johnny Depp. The trailer looked OK and was somewhat funny. I entered the cinema without much expectation and I came out pleasantly surprised after movie. It was actually quite good.

The Plot

In short, Rango is about this pet chameleon that ends up stranded in the desert after an accident. He winds up in a town called 'Dirt' and coincidentally becomes the town's sheriff. From there, his adventure of self discovery takes flight...that's all I have to say for the movie's plot, don't want to spoil it for those who haven't had the chance to catch it.

My Thoughts

For an animated movie, Rango is pretty good but not exactly fantastic. The characters are very unique and not what we are commonly used to. Rather than designing characters that are cute and cuddly like most of the animated characters out there, the animators created characters that really have an edge to them, the villains in this movie are downright sinister and some might even call them ugly. There are quite alot of funny moments and I enjoyed every single one. Johnny Depp definitely brought much charm and character to the main character. You will be rooting for Rango as he gets tangled in all sorts of predicaments, one after another. The animation is flawless and smooth, and the pace of the movie is just about right. There is also enough action to keep the audience entertained. All in all, not a bad movie for the family.

The Pros

Besides the fact that Johnny Depp is in it, watch this movie for its trippy and unique story. Queer and comical characters also makes it that much more enjoyable. Animation is flawless too.

The Cons

For the cons, I don't think that kids below the age of 7 will enjoy this movie. The characters aren't cute enough and are unsuitable for kids in this age group. The storyline might also be a little bit too complex for them to comprehend.

Bakpoh Rating

A very well deserved 4/5 for this animated feature that dares to be different from the mainstream animated features. We need more movies like this to keep this genre interesting.

And last but not least...here's the trailer:

Vegetarian joke....

Randomly came across this random joke on FB...LOL

To vegetarians,
I eat the cows which produce the methane gas causing global warming, you eat the plants trying to fix global warming so who's really killing the planet?
From a non-vegetarian.

No offence to vegetarians...but it is kinda funny....

SAMAN AGAIN???

Receive a call from mum regarding a certain letter sent to my hometown courtesy of PDRM....kena polis SAMAN AGAIN! This will be the 3rd saman since i bought my car, less than a year to be exact! If kena 4D like i kena saman, limpeh huat zhai lor....cia cia bor hor sei! Sipeh gaolat suey siao....mata bor su jor ki lim kopi lar...kopi lim liao eh sai lim teh tarik pun ma....catch me for wad..DENG! Kek sei......

After some further verification...seems like no saman records to be found....on MyEg website....safe for now.....

A certain part of me hopes that this is true and the PDRM just made a stupid mistake again.....

Either that or their sipeh canggih mia hao siao system belum update lagi and the worst is yet to come.....

Fingers crossed and hope for the best...plz la....mai kor hor limpeh saman la....boh lui heng liao....heng saman liao saman limpeh jiu ai ciak chao liao lar.....sien.....

In the face of disaster....Rosmah talks COCK....

Suddenly felt the urge to revive my blog....and to kick off this momentous event...let's talk about a truckload of crap in human form better known as Rosmah....

Tsunami hits Japan....thousands of ppl perish from the wrath of mother nature....the world mourns the loss of the entire japanese nation.....a sad time for all of us. World nations band together to lend a helping hand to help get japan back on their feet. Malaysia wants to help too....wad do we do?...we let loose Rosmah(a human being with the special ability to think using her posterior and speak through her arsehole) to insult Japan, a nation reeling from their worst natural disaster to date. Pour more salt onto the open wound if you dont mind!

She just had to open her dumb mouth and start spewing bullshit like nobody's business. And this is the gist of wad our PM's wife with the IQ of 1 had to say.....

“Japan's earthquake and tsunami is a result of negligence in conducting environmental-friendly developments.

"To me, this is a lesson to other countries, that in everything they do or in whatever development they plan, they should study the surrounding environment and connect it with climate change and green technology," she told private news channel Astro Awani.

Earthquake and tsunami is a result of negligence?....she might as well have said that global warming is caused by humans passing gas...that would have made so much more sense. Where else in the world can you come up with a statement like that as a PM's wife and still get away with it? Only in bolehland.....

As the saying goes...if you dont have anyth good to say, Shut The F*ck Up! You just pretty much represented Malaysia and showed the world wad assholes we are....Congratu-f*cking-lations. Smart ass. We do not expect you to do much, stay at home and do wad all rich tai tais do...wadever dat is. We have enough good for nothing politicians going around soiling our image already! Good lord....Najib...keep your crazy ass wife in check man! Really kebodohan yang teramat sangat melampau...mempersiasoikan Malaysia! Even my german sheperd at home feels insulted by her comments.

To check out Rosmah's comments in all its "glory"....check out the link below....
Viewer discretion is advised: viewing of the following video may cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and vomiting copious amounts of blood.

And the following is a well deserved response to her insane outburst....

The statements sipeh syok.....damn funny....chio ka pak lin dao....

"Setiap kali dia buka mulut, menjadi masalah kepada kerajaan."

"Kita minta dia, kalau boleh, duduk diam lah, buatlah peranan sebagai seorang insteri, bukan seorang pemerintah."

"Najib harus mengawal Rosmah...."

HAHAHA....LOL man! Najib, keep ur crazy ass bitch on a leash! Nuff said!

Random Rants....

Been 3 bloody months since i last posted.....wad the hell......lack of motivation and inspiration i guess....couldn't be bothered to give a rat's ass bout it.

So what's new? Nothing much....uni life....how bloody interesting can it get? Screwed by my stupid exam schedules....5 subs in 6 days how to prepare...bloody mmu retards...can't do the job easily done by a primary school student. Thanks to them, i'm having countless sleepless nights. A mishmash of formulas and information banging around my brain everytime i shut my eyes....

And then my brain starts to wonder.....about the uncertain future....blurred images of what may or not happen....but mostly just a figment of my imagination....

Then i wonder some more......this time i'm visited by the silhouettes of the past....recalling all the decisions i've made that got me where i am now....if i get to turn back time.....would i have done anyth differently??? who the heck knows???

Finally my brain gives up and i drift ever slowly towards sleep...no such thing as sweet dreams....those were a thing of the past....and i wake up the next day with a freaking throbbing headache!!!

As my younger bro would say.....life could be worse...but it could be better!
