Gnome’s Place

I left this…..

For…..

Yeap. I am an idiot for doing so. Haha.

No la, not in real life ofcourse. Who in their right mind will choose Afdlin Shauki over Megan Fox? I don’t think that even a uber-gay man will do that.

I’m talking about the movie Jennifer’s Body and Papadom. I wanted to see Jennifer’s Body as a midnight show last night, but due to the overwhelming number of people that wanted to see it too, the movie was full house. But the funny thing is, This Is It , wasn’t…Weird..

During the 15 minit standing-in-line-to-buy-tickets(imagine the looooong line) phase of movie going, me and a couple of my friends listed a couple of movie incase Jennifer’s Body is fully booked. Since it was, we went to watch the 2nd movie on our ‘emergency’ list, Papadom by Afdlin Shauki.

I’m not the type of Malaysian that despises Malaysian movies, but I’d rather watch english movies compared to local ones. This is mainly caused by stupid movies like Senario movies, even stupider Razak Mohaideen movies. But, since it’s Afdlin Shauki’s movie, I gave it a try and I wasn’t disappointed.

I’m not really a big fan of Afdlin but I do love and respect his work since I saw Cuci. hehe. If you haven’t go and watch this movie, please do so, you wont be dissapointed. The story is light, fun and filled with social message. Some of the funny points for me in the movie;

1. The scene after Liyana Jasmay ran away from Afdlin during the party, when Afdlin is driving and he thought that a ghost is in his car, and he says the line, ” Kenapa pulak aku jumpa hantu yang suruh mengucap ni?!” . Haha, it totally killed me. haha

2. All the scenes where he talked to his ‘dead’ wife. After the chat, there will be people interrupting him,the funny part is when he tries to ‘cover’ up his talking-to-himself,talking-to-plants act.

3. Afdlin funny comeback and quirky  lines throughout the movie.

4. Farid Kamil is portrayed as a playboy that is a soft type. Cool,relax and funny character for him. He did a good job.

I’m not saying that this movie is perfect, it still have few flaws here and there. Like, i believe that some scenes in the movie reuse the same exact shooting location as earlier scenes from the movie. I think!

All in all, its a good movie, spend your rm11 on this movie and you wont be disapointed. Take my word for it! This is one great Malaysian Movie!

Malaysia Boleh! Afdlin Boleh!

(now pay me afdlin! I promoted your movie! haha)
