Marley & Me


This movie was free tickets by my gf’s company. The story is about heartwarming and unforgettable story of a family in the making and wondrously neurotic dog fallen in theirs’ life.

The ending was kinna sad, my gf cried like baby in the cinema, what to do? realities are cruel.

Rate 8/10


Dragon Ball Evolution


Won these 4 movies ticket passes from 988, if you have read my previous post Tallboyz On 988.

One word to describe the movie. Trying too hard to be like in the comic, had me giggle with some scenes.

If you really want to watch this movie. Be prepare yourself not to expect the movie is the same with the comic/cartoon.

Rate 5/10 (no spiky hair, where is the turtle shell?, when summons the dragon how come the sky didn't change to dawn? and a lot more question)


Sex Drive


Hmmmm the title of this movie is abit too...... you think lar.

Didn't watch this in cinema, feel kinna stupid this watch with censor this censor that and had the movie from 2 hours become 45 minutes. Okok! I'm over exaggerated.

The movie is about a young boy drive his fury brother's GTO travelled half of the state to lost his virgin and alot funny parts happened.

Rate 7.5/10 (remember to watch the unrated one, k?)


Race to Witch Mountain


Heard this movie was a remake of a movie back in 1975, Escape to Witch Mountain.

This sci-fi movie is about 2 aliens human alike landed to earth with a mission to save the earth and it was bunged by the country security goverment. Then Dwayne Johnson of better known as The Rock in WWF helped the aliens in adventure and saved the day.

Rate 7/10

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

Posted by Anonymous |



There's a new fast food restaurant available in Taman Tun. Anyone tried Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen at Taman Tun?

Few weeks back I had my dinner there. Heard from my colleague, this restaurant was already around few years/a decade before they closed down and now they reopen again.

The restaurant.


Variety selection to choose from. The menu is a bit same like Wendy's.


Any KFC fans out there? You can try this out. The meats are more fresh compare with KFC and the mash potatoes and cole slaw very nice oh. (Maybe being new and special for me)

There's also a biscuit aka fluffy biscuit, taste not bad.


Next time will try out their's burgers.

Price wise is about same the same with those fast food available out there.


The address if you are interest to try it out or happened to be around there.

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen
Jalan Tun Mohd Fuad 1
Taman Tun Dr. Ismail
Kuala Lumpur

Tel: 03 - 7710 1198

Inexpensive Macro Shot

Posted by Anonymous |



Interested to shot macro objects but have no budget to buy macro lens? Now there’s an inexpensive way to convert your kit lens or tele lens to macro-able. Macroable?? Tallboyz’s broken English. Hahaha!

Here recommend you +4 close up filter, you also can stalk it up to 2 filters to have more macro sense. This close up filter would only cost around RM30 to RM60 depend on the circular size.



Here are 2 test shots I made with a single +4 close up filter.

F5.6 1/1600 sec 135mm ISO200


F5.6 1/200 sec 135mm ISO200

Look For A Star



“There are no boundaries in LOVE” This movie is about a multimillionaire’s international company president (Andy Lau) fallen in love with night club dancer (Su Qi).

The storyline is quite predictable and it reminded me a movie that quite alike with this movie starring by Jackie Chan.

Rate 7/10

Bride Wars



This movie is about 2 best-est frens that very care and love each other fight over what that have dreamt together when they are young. The contra began when both of their’s bf proposed for marriage.

Rate 5/10 dun really like the rush ending.

Ong Bak 2



Have you guys watched the early Ong Bak? The stunt acts was out of this world. Tony Jaa was recognized as Jackie Chan Thailand Version.

This Ong Bak 2 was not related with the Ong Bak. As for this movie, Tony Jaa has performed numerous of martial arts. I super love the Chinese Kung Fu he executed, nice and perfect, can say better than a lot Kung Fu artistes.

The movie is abit a struggling life of a child to stay alive so he can have revenge for his dad.

The ending is abit sad but then it shown the different between Tony Jaa and Jackie Chan. Hero would not always win and can’t be defeated.

No one can escape from Karma.

Rate 8.5/10

Eden Lake



A very romantic plan of a couple spending holiday at Eden Lake changed to tragic when they bumped up with some problematic adolescents.

It started when the couple accidently killed one of the trouble kid’s dog during an argument. The anger and irrational acts led to killing. The chase being when they killed the guy and the gal run for survival. Quite kan jiong. But then the ending was a bit sad and disappointed.

Rate 6/10 feel like a low cost movie.

Slumdogs Millionaire



Slumdog Millionaire, the big winner of Oscar 2009. Nominated for 10 awards and received 8 awards, including Best Picture and has billed as the most entertaining film 2008.

Doesn’t need to elaborate much bout this movie, one word to describe this movie “The Best-est Movie” and it’s a much watch movie.

This movie has proven to people, a good movie does not required sky high budget and super famous superstar to be played in the movie.

Rate 10/10 perfect score

The Punisher WarZone



This movie probably the bloodiest movie of 2009 although some of it was censored but then we still can see brutal and blood-spattered. There’s no mercy by “The Punisher” even a small potate robber also have to be killed.

Rate 5/10 a bit not logic and doesn't look like a hero.
